Podcasting For Dummies!

On Itunes I listened to a podcast called Podcasting for Dummies episode 1: Podcasting on a Budget. The podcast was about 8 min long and the main theme of the podcast was how to take a one take free podcast. The guy doing the podcast talks about downloading a free editing software called Adasidy. In order to do a podcast you will need some kind of microphone and usually every laptop has a microphone built in.  In order to produce a podcast you don't need to buy high end software or equipment, just use what you have.  It's extremely easy to produce a economic podcast which is usually all in one take and no editing required.  Editing is time consuming because if your podcast has to many lit smacks, pausing, and natal noises that may be to distracting to the audience as there listening. Podcasting is beyond the book because we are putting in sounds that we can't explain in print.  It's also all about putting in practice what we talk about,  something we have already experience and sharing to the public our personal experience.  He also talks about the difference between podcasting verse audio blogging, from what I understood there wasn't much of a difference between the two.  Audio blogging is everything happening at the moment for example if you hear the phone ringing, baby crying, or even dog barking . . everything is spontaneous and depending on the type of podcast casual or formal.  Most modern podcast are spontaneous but will follow some sort of theme from beginning to end.
I believe this was the first podcast I have ever listened to and by listening I now have a better understanding of what a podcast is.
