The
Bad Cop,
debaere,
LANMonkey, and
Sherminator18 talk about the world of podcasting for the two
hundred twenty-eighth edition of the GeoGearHeads. The Geocaching Podcast Profile
series has been talking with various Podcasters about their
experiences. LANMonkey suggested looking at
Samson USB microphones or a Blue Yeti for
Podcasters looking to get started, then Audacity or Garage Band for
recording and editing. DarrylW4 left the recommendations of a
Sennheiser PC 8 USB headset or
Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB micro and Audio-Technica
ATH-T200 headset for the solo podcast host. For those looking
to do multiple hosts in the same room, something like the
Sennheiser MD 46 microphones, Mackie 802VLZ4 mixer,
PreSonus
AudioBox interface to the computer, and Sony MDR-7506
headsets to build out the rig as needed. LANMonkey talked about
hosting through Archive.org
and Libsyn. Podcast Producers
will want to register their show with iTunes through iTunes Podcast Connect.
Some of the means for live connections mentioned were Google Hangouts on
Air, Blab, Ringr, and Skype.
