This morning at 7:50a.m. Pacific, I was on CityTV Vancouver'Breakfast Television for about 5 minutes. I spoke with Simi Sara, the host, on how easy it is to podcast and I demoed Odeo (which works through a web browser like Internet Explorer; here's the 7 second podcast Simi and I recorded on the Breakfast Television). All you need is a computer with a microphone, an internet connection and Odeo (free, unlimited 3 minute podcasts!), a story, something to say or a cool sound. What I didn't get a chance to say was: play around with Odeo and then when you get serious, move up to a non free commercial provider like Audioblog (my friend Eric Rice's podcasting and videoblogging service) or libsyn (just to name two).

For me, the more you pay, the less you get when it comes to conferences. For $100, Podcast Hotel Seattle 2006 was even better than the original one in Portland. Still grassroots, still vital but with more bands and more great discussion. Looking forward to the next one. More later!

I still think this recipe is too complicated. If you want something simpler just use WireTap Pro and LineIn. No need for the complicated Audio Hijack Pro setup that Glenn describes. Audio Hijack Pro is awesome but complicated to use.
