– Podcasting requires a computer with a microphone attachment or built into the computer itself.
- Meynard recommends Audacity, a step-by-step program that walks you through the process of setting up your audio blog.
– You’ll need a Web server to host your show. According to Degnan, the one major cost of podcasting is bandwidth.
- Many people listen to podcasts on iPods, but you can listen to the shows through your computer. By downloading the free iTunes software at the Apple computer Web site, you can subscribe to podcasts. Podcasters have an option to subscribe to their casts on their individual sites, and then with the iTunes software in place, the cast will download to your computer as soon as the podcaster puts the show onto his or her site.
- RSS allows Web servers to keep posts updated. The “recent events” areas of news pages use this to keep information up-to-the-minute accurate.

the post-college professional life of marketing people, and he originally wanted to blog about the experience. After listening to podcasts, though, he changed his mind about the medium for his work.

“It’s a formally engaging look at marketing and life as a 20-something professional,” Degnan, 25, says. He reports that his listeners are asking questions about how to deal with their bosses and what level of ambition is appropriate for a newly hired marketing consultant.
While Degnan’s show has a tight focus on business practices, Mann focuses on the everyday inanities that make up most people’s lives.
“I like to make commentary about goofy things,” Mann says. “How often do you sit around with your friends and talk about nothing in particular, but for some reason it’s so addictive? My first [podcast] is me in the kitchen reheating Chinese food.”
NOT ALL VOICES are represented yet in the podcasting scene. Qpodder.com, started by Bluestein, is the clearinghouse for gay podcasters. It provides a variety of links and information about gay podcasting, yet there is a surprising dearth of lesbian podcasters on the site.
“Qpodder has 126 casts listed, and maybe 10 percent are lesbian,” says Degnan. “It’s parallel to a lot of the beginnings of gay media.”
Podcasters both gay and straight from all over the country recently attended a national convention on the subject — the Portable Media Expo and Podcasting Conference in Ontario, California — and the number of women was very small.
“At the conference, only 15% were women, gay or straight,” says Friess who attended the event.
