Last week I had a chance to do a little podcast experiment with Skype. It came about as a result of an EdTec class I’m teaching where I interviewed a guest blogger — fellow ed-tech’er, Andy Petroski from Harrisburg U. Although Mac software like GarageBand makes it pretty easy to produce a podcast if you’re the only person involved, it gets a little more involved if you want to tie it to an interview that you run through VOIP (e.g., Skype).

Fortunately, I came across an excellent resource from the New Media Center at Mary Washington University. It saves you all the tech details and breaks it down to the most essential tools: Soundflower and LineIn – both of which are free.
