    A group that I'm a member of wants to start posting some podcast and I'd like to get your input on what affordable equipment we should start off with, and what do upgrade when we have more money?

    Also what kind of software do you use or have you seen recommended?

    I've been searching on google and see plenty of "podcast kits" and I have a good idea of what to use.

    We want 2 mic's to start and a mixer, as well as software to run on 2 windows machines

    Thanks, look froward to hearing what you use

    has anybody tried this service (easypushbuttontraffic.com) to submit your podcasts to multiple directories?

    I've heard of that, but I'm with the OP. I would like to know the best tools for creating podcasts.

    anyone else?
    I guess I could post some of the articles online I've found.. one sec

    http://www.jakeludington.com/gadget_envy/20050313_upgrade_your_podcast_for_under_200.html
    I see something at best buy today that looked like this, they didn't have a price on it, so I don't know how much it was.
    this one has some nice mics listed and a good mixer

    and a few more, but all in all, mostly the same
    I guess not many DP'ers do podcast? it's a shame, they are a great way to market your brand.

    We just started doing one. If you want to make something really professional, then you'll need a room to use. Make sure you buy 2 decent unidirectional mics and a mixer with enough inputs, incase you're going to expand.

    Personally, we're going to be using Skype and recording the calls. To get perfect quality, you can record each side from the local pc, and send them all to one for editing. I've found that just recording them from one pc gives superb quality. All we're using is our normal headsets with mics. Make sure you have a test run or 2 before putting anything live.
