The world of consumer generated audio, or in egocaster speak 'podcasts' is a challenging one I must say. After getting the hang of listening to podcasts and getting them on different computers and devices, it is time to move to production. Audio I find is very different to the two formats I have used sofar, writing words and putting pictures with them.
Now I will try to move into the world of spoken word. I read some podcast books, went through lots of how to's on the web and asked many people. In short, if anything it became more confusing.

I learned a couple of things; one that the actual quality is very important and determined by the capturing device and microphone and two that is some steps to go before you get there.

One piece of kit that comes highly recommended is the Edirol R-1 MP3 recorder, which was long out of stock everywhere. After a great how to from audio capture specialist Luc of www.dirkdewitte.nl I should be ready to do some recording...
