Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas 2012

Today, my family and I – and all of the in-laws on both sides – are celebrating Christmas, so we’re spending time exchanging gifts, hanging out, eating, and enjoying the time with each other.

Merry Christmas and to all a good night (or good morning or whatever time it is where you are or when you read this :)).

Podcasting Equipment: My Hardware and Software

In the last couple of months, I’ve had a number of conversations with others that ultimately made it into interviews, podcasts, screencasts, and more.

For the most part, getting into podcasting (or just generally improved audio recording) is relatively easy, but I thought I’d share my notes here as I ended up having to do quite a bit of research on both hardware and software prior to making any purchases.

Here’s a rundown of my podcasting equipment including both hardware and software.
