Podcast 101

Are you an aspiring television or radio host that is struggling to get picked up by the networks? No worries... podcasts are here to console your weary spirits. Before I list the steps it takes to create a podcast, I will briefly describe what a podcast is. Essentially, a podcast is an audio or video file on the internet made available for download on one's computer, PDA, etc. 

Here's how you make one:

1. First of all, you'll need to acquire a microphone. Personally, I would suggest the Blue Snowball for simple voice recordings and even musical ditties (however this is all subjective and depends on your means). 
2. The next thing you will need is some form of audio editing software. I believe the most recommended beginner software for this is Audacity, which you can download for free. Also, GarageBand is a great way to start out.
3. Third, you will need a hosting site to upload your podcasts. This can be done right here on blogger, as well as many other places that specifically specialize in promoting and hosting podcasts.
