Podcasting QuickStart
For those of you who like to learn by doing and who like to just dive right in, this QuickStart is for you! Keep in mind that this is meant to explain HOW to create a podcast quickly and without fuss; it is not meant to explain how to create a perfect, professional podcast and it is not meant to explain why you do things a certain way.
QuickStart Overview
Creating a podcast involves a few basic steps: Record, Upload, and Publish your podcast. Each step requires some specific software, hardware, and skills - all of which will be discussed and demonstrated below using Flash Tutorials. Each link goes to a separate tutorial so you can watch the ones you need and skip the ones you don't. Read on!
