Attention Mac Users: Garageband has a dedicated function for Podcasts! Here's a nice guide to creating a podcast using Garageband!

Spreaker is one of several free podcast websites that exist that allow you to record a podcast and share it with viewers, like your students. The great thing that Spreaker offers is the ability to present your podcast in several formats. For instance, people who subscribe could listen to your podcast live, download it, or search your channel for past podcasts. Also, the creator of the podcast can upload their pods to facebook or share a link to their blog or personal website.

Audacity is a free program that allows users to record and edit things from their computer. It is simple to use and files can be saved in a number of formats. I did find that I had to add a plugin in order to save in the Mp3 format, but the program walked me through it and I had no problems. It is a great, user friendly program for beginner podcasters.
