What’s a Podcast? “Podcasting is the method of distributing multimedia files, such as audio programs or music videos, over the Internet for playback on mobile devices and personal computers. “ “Podcasting's essence is about creating content (audio or video) for an audience that wants to listen or watch when they want, where they want, and how they want.” Wikipedia

How to Make an Audio Podcast… iPod iPod-compatible microphone, i.e., Belkin’s Voice Recorder iTunes…Download free to PC http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ External Media, CD, or Webpage
Transferring Voice Memos to PC Connect your iPod to your PC. iPod will transfer the voice memos (WAV files) automatically to your iTunes Library on your PC. You will see the time and dated Voice Memos in your iTunes Source list, i.e., “7/30 3:15 PM” To organize voice memos in iTunes Library, select File>”New Playlist” to create playlist then drag voice memos into it. Rename voice memo files in the playlist to better describe the files, i.e., “7/30 3:15PM” renamed “Ch 1 Review” Save as .mp3 files. Use one of several methods (i.e., External Media, Burn Data CD) to transfer files from your iTunes to other PCs. Note: Voice memos are saved in a Recordings folder on the iPod in the WAV file format. Best if convert to mp3 format.
