Producing the podcast Practice before recording Record in Audacity and save recordings as mp3 files Record the radio podcast in small sections Intro, talk between songs, and conclusion

Editing - Interviews Interviews were single small files 5 – 8 MB / less than 10 minutes Editing done with Audacity Cleaning up the recording Eliminating long silences, retakes

Editing – Radio podcasts Recorded in sections so there were 8 to 12 small files that needed to be spliced together 20 to 30 MB / 20 to 30 minutes Editing done with Audacity Cleaning up student recordings Splicing files together
