I Got Some Nerve

I found this via Joyce Valenza's comment section. Rich Levin (Host & Executive Producer PC TALK RADIO) wrote in to provide information re: podcasting and recommends, "Audacity, the free, open source software for recording and editing sounds. It is available for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and other operating systems"

Now, I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN a handle or the time to delve into podcasting. But it's something I'm certainly trying to get a jumpstart on by reading everything I can find about integrating it into curriculum. I guess it would help if I purchased an iPod first.

Hello there

I've listened to a few podcasts, but never quite got around to it. Well, I have to do a session on Mac OS X next week and thought I'd use some of the iLife stuff as a good way of selling it to a largely Windoze based group. It seemed like a good excuse to have a go at podcasting with Garage Band in preparation for getting the students to have a go at it next week.

I was amazed at how easy it was to create the podcast. It may not take as much time to do as you fear. I had a slight wobble getting the RSS feed sorted on Blogger, but got there after a bit of reading on the help pages. I list a couple of the resources that helped me get started in the My First Podcast entry.

I suspect there are people who know a lot more about what to do and how to do it than me, but if a newbie podcaster can help in any way - feel free to get in touch.
 
David,

thanks so much for this comment. You certainly got me even more inspired. Now let me put my Podcast hat on.

Amy
