Thanks again everyone for a great PodcampDC. For those of you who couldn't make it, we talked about Web/Online Techno Stuff, shared ideas about the web and social media, and generally had a fun time socializing. It was a packed house at my Podcasting 101 session. I went over audio podcasting techniques, answered questions, and shared stories of my own successes and not-so successes. The audience had great questions and, in the spirit of Podcamp, even shared their own experience and know-how. How many conferences do you get that?Afterward, I did my usual, post-self-evaluation and realized that my presentation didn't include a listing of the equipment I use. Although I mentioned what I use during the presentation, I wanted to list my equipment in detail here. Hopefully, it will give those who are new to audio podcasting a starting point for evaluating their own podcasting equipment needs.Keep in mind that my equipment was purchased over a period of almost two years. I list it below in order of purchase.
