I am spending a lot of time with podcast production. During the process of learning this trade I have gone through lots of hardware and software. From Windows to Mac, from USB microphones to condenser microphones etc.

I have earlier reported in this blog about using GrageBand, a component of Apple’s iLife 08, to produce Calculus Podcasts. While GarageBand allows the convenient editing of the soundtrack, the quality of graphics that GarageBand supports, is not good enough for Calculus Podcasts.

As a result of my daughter insisting on getting an iPod, I also got one for myself. The 80 GB video iPod is an incredible device(http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/). So far I have used it to follow great podcasts like the one by David Pogue (http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/) or the News from Lake Wobegon (http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/programs/) both of which are conveniently available through iTunes.
