The podcasting process can be seen as 5 Ps:

Prepare – gather together your content

Perform – 3-2-1, click and record

Produce – edit, add sounds and music

Publish – publish to the internet

Promote – tell others what the link is so that they can subscribe and listen

Prepare This can be done by simply using word or any other text editor to write out a script. Sometimes free form comments are recorded but students are not so good or confident to speak without some prepared notes.

Perform Capturing the audio can be done direct to the computer or remotely by voice recorder/MD recorder etc. Microphones/headsets and USB devices can make a huge difference.

Podium The great advantage of this product is that it will do the whole 5 steps in the one application. Nothing else on the windows platform does this as easily but “Garageband” on the Mac platform does most of this as well.
