Podcasting for the Absolute Beginner

You will make better podcasts if you are a podcast listener first.

Submissions are accepted from October 12-23, 2009. For this project you are going to create a one-minute story with the following sound effects.

"Take a Tour of the Human Body! As a part of our study of human body systems, the fifth graders of Southfield Christian School used their imagination and the information that they learned to create "tours" of the various body systems. Be prepared to vacation at the "Pancreas Hotel," take a water park ride through the circulatory system, or rock climb up the muscular system! Click on the tours listed below, or click on "Go to Archive" (on the left) to see the entire list of 15 tours! If you wish to download them to your iPod, click on the subscribe button which will take you to iTunes."

"What is The Levelator®? Do you believe in magic? You will after using The Levelator® to enhance your podcast. And you'll be amazed that it's free, now even for commercial use. So what is The Levelator®? It's software that runs on Windows, OS X (universal binary), or Linux (Ubuntu) that adjusts the audio levels within your podcast or other audio file for variations from one speaker to the next, for example. It's not a compressor, normalizer or limiter although it contains all three. It's much more than those tools, and it's much simpler to use. The UI is dirt-simple: Drag-and-drop any WAV or AIFF file onto The Leveler's application window, and a few moments later you'll find a new version which just sounds better."
