Want to be a podcaster? Not me – I spent a career talking to learners and I just can’t get used to talking to a device. I also find writing far more comfortable because the process offers me some time to think and editing is far easier. Some, however, prefer talking and listening does allow a certain freedom not available while reading. I do listen to podcasts while driving and walking. I am glad there are podcasters out there.
If podcasting is for you, LifeHacker has a great post offer an overview of the tools and processes you will need to get started. Good luck should you commit to take the plunge.
