Take Control of Podcasting on the Mac

by Andy Williams Affleck

Hop on the podcasting bandwagon with our step-by-step guide!

Podcasting is the hottest thing to hit the Internet since blogging, and with the start-to-finish guidance of long-time podcaster Andy Williams Affleck, you can make your own podcast, too. In this ebook, Andy leads off by discussing how to plan your podcast in terms of topic, format, and polish. Then he focuses on the practical details of how to choose the right microphone and audio software, followed by an extensive set of step-by-step instructions that teach you how to record your podcast using Audio Hijack Pro, GarageBand 2 or 3, Audacity, or Sound Studio 3.

Once your audio is in the can, Andy helps you edit out the awkward bits, plug in additional audio, and mix tracks. After encoding your podcast, and adding tags and chapters, it's time to publish and promote your podcast, and to that end, Andy helps you choose a publishing tool and upload your podcast with helpful show notes.

Includes coupons worth up to $14.00 off Audio Hijack Pro and Fission and $5.00 off any order at Small Dog Electronics.

—Mark Warner, Teacher, The Downs CE Primary School (UK)
