Podcasting made easy

I recently launched a podcast series for my employer. Putting it together was much easier than expected. Here is the combination of solutions I used:

• A wordpress blog with a custom domain
• A $40 noise-canceling microphone with headset
• Skype with the Pamela plugin for recording phone interviews/conversations
• Some royalty free music
• Windows movie maker or Audacity
• Feedburner to create my podcast-ready feeds
• Royalty-free stock photography for header graphics and iTunes icon

all this and, Viola! A podcast was born…I am so proud.

Now for the hard part – great and compelling content that folks actually want to listen to!
