Create your own audio podcast on a Windows machine

Creating your own podcast on a Windows machine is probably easier than you realize. To make a podcast, you need a computer, a microphone and audio recording software. Audacity is one such program and it is free. Once recorded, edited and saved, the file needs to be saved as a MP3 file. If you'd like others to hear your podcast, the MP3 file can be stored on a website, in iTunes, in a blog post, or at free file hosting services such as, Our Media. Remember, you do not need iTunes to listen to a podcast. Windows Media Player or any audio player works.
