Okay, I’m finally taking the plunge and diving into it.  I always try to add new things to learn about in the technology courses I teach in junior high and this year it is podcasting.  I have been researching the topic for a couple of months now and I have decided on the hardware and software I’m going to use.

The hardware (which includes the software) I have chosen is by Tascam:

Tascam TNT Bundle:

  • LD-74 Large Diaphragm Condenser Mic
  • US-122L USB interface
  • Mini Mic Stand andCable
  • Cubase LE Recording Software

I was looking at Audacity but I will try Cubase LE since it is included.  If anyone has advice please pass it along.

I plan to start using podcasting in my junior high technology classes this coming school year.  I want to keep it as simple and cheap as possible so I am planning to use Audacity .  I’m doing a lot of research on podcasting and listening to a lot of podcast in iTunes like Leo Laporte - The Tech Guy.

If you are an experienced podcaster, I would love to hear from you.  Please pass along any advice you may have about podcasting but please keep in mind I work in the public education system so cheap is essential.
