working up a sweat while podcasting

Who knew that pod casting could be so much work? I think part of my problem is that my IT geek husband is also a sound engineer. He runs the sound board at church and digitally records all our services and concerts. I have learned so much from watching him. One trick I had not mastered was using the digital recorder properly. I kept pausing it when I meant to record. The first track I recorded consisted of the words "oh, crap!" I finally recorded my book talk and added some sound. I'm going to test it on my children before I post it. Audacity is a very versatile product. I could spend another day editing if I were so inclined but I'll settle for an imperfect finished product.

I am definitely a kinesthetic and visual learner. I would have never made it through this project if I hadn't first watched my husband do his own editing and then had him walk me through the process. The first time I read the directions online it was as if I were reading a map to a place I'd never been.
