Want to start your own podcast? GarageBand is one of the easiest and most inexpensive tools to use. In this course, author Garrick Chow demonstrates how to make and publish a high-quality podcast using GarageBand. He starts with the basics: what a podcast is and the steps it takes to turn a raw idea into something ready for listeners. He then shows how to plan and record a podcast, how to choose the right audio gear, and how to configure GarageBand. Once your audio is recorded, Garrick shows how to edit the material, add music, and apply effects.
