"This is the home of the **free podcast tutorial** that will take your podcast from concept to launch fast and for minimal cost."

Helpful hint: In several of the podcasting sessions, we looked at a site called Pod-O-Matic ([|www.podomatic.com]). The site has a built in recorder but sometimes the recorder does not always work. There is a way around it! Any computer running windows has a built is sound recorder. 1. Go to the Start Menu. 2. All Programs 3. Accessories 4. Entertainment 5. Sound Recorder

Once you make a recording- save that wav file to your desktop. Once you are logged-in to Pod-O-Matic - you will choose the option to upload the media from your computer.
