5. Subscribing Vs Listening
You can choose what episodes you want or you can subscribe and have each one delivered “hot and fresh!”

6. How to Podcast The podcasting process can be seen as 5 Ps:
Prepare – gather together your content
Perform – 3-2-1, click and record
Produce – edit, add sounds and music
Publish – publish to the internet
Promote – tell others what the link is so that they can subscribe and listen

7. Prepare
This can be done by simply using word or any other text editor to write out a script.
Sometimes free form comments are recorded but students are not so good or confident to speak without some prepared notes.

8. Perform
Capturing the audio can be done direct to the computer or remotely by voice recorder/MD recorder etc.
Microphones/headsets and USB devices can make a huge difference.

9. Produce Podium/Audacity
Usually very easy for students and teachers to pick up.
Background music and effects can make a real difference
Remember to compress and save as, probably, an mp3 file.

10. Publish
There is a lot to know about here. (Hopefully your technician will take care of all of this for you!)

The great advantage of this product is that it will do the whole 5 steps in the one application.
Nothing else on the windows platform does this as easily but “Garageband” on the Mac platform does most of this as well.
