Everyone is under the impression that podcasts are all about being technically savvy, and they aren't.  It's all about the original idea and goal.  you can have the most technically precise and accomplished podcast that can still SUCK!  If you're base idea is solid, the rest will follow!  Outline your ideas and remember there is no "formula" for a good podcast without a solid initial idea.

Now that you've got your idea and some structure (an introduction/opening, some meat material, a conclusion and an the end - record it!  Get yourself either a headset with a microphone, or if you foresee yourself giving it a longer haul, look on the web for a variety of podcast packages.  We got the gear we initially used for less than $80, and have converted to what is real studio-based equipment, but it doesn't cost an arm and a leg at all.  A nice headset (that we still use for monitoring) cost less than $40, and the software to give you a variety of options when recording (we recommend Mixcraft - the Official Software of the 2GuysTalking Podcast Network) will cost you less than $100 total.  A very small pay in for what is potentially a very rich, learning and creative experience overall.  Get familiar with your voice and give don't be afraid to give it a few tries.  Get your final initial recording down and give it a listen.

You've got the initial recording done,  now what?  Contact the 2GuysTalking Podcast Network we'll send you more details about our contest.  It really is THAT simple!

For those looking to continue from here, you'll need to find a webhost (2GuysTalking can host your files for you at a very reasonable cost), and you'll need to figure out a way to present your podcast to the masses.  2GuysTalking can help you with that as well!

Thanks for YOUR interest in producing a podcast for our 3rd Annual 2GuysTalking "I Hear Your Podcast Contest" sponsored by Sprint's RelayMO and Acoustica's Mixcraft Software!
