We have had several e-mails asking how we record the show and essentially how to do a podcast, so I'm going to post the information here for anyone who wants it.
We use Audacity to record the show when we are in the same room together. We have two mics, which are plugged into one port using a splitter. We started out only having one, but we now have two.
Audacity is a pretty good recorder and editor for what we do. It allows for multiple tracks. You will need to download the Lame encoder if you want to export your recordings into mp3 format (which you will), and that is a free download so don't worry.
The times that we are not in the same room, we use Skype to chat, while recording with HotRecorder. HotRecorder costs, but it is the only program that will record Skype conversations.
Finally, we use Libsyn.com to host the show. It is a great site that creates the RSS feed for you. It also has some great stat tracking. Libsyn costs money, though. It starts at $5 a month for 100mb. Then the price goes up along with the mb's of storage.
This is essentially all you need to get started podcasting. We use the blogger site right now because it is free and simple to use. We would eventually like to have our own site, but that costs money. Until then, we will use the myspace page and the blogspot page to post all of the information about the show.
I hope this helps all you aspiring podcasters out there. Pick a topic and make your voice heard.
