Podcasting

Thought i would post this now...after a session on podcasts. I was a little unsure of this as a task, and wasnt over enthusiatic at doing it, partly because radio shows i have done in the past have been unsucessful..however, i really enjoyed the session today. The software is easy to use, and it is easy to edit mistakes, which would be very useful in the primary school! The only queries i have with it is that the microphones were slightly tempermental...i found i had to shout to make myself heard, and this would be difficult for primary school children. And also saving the end piece!!!! I saved it to my stick, however it didnt want to play, even in an MP3 format..if anyone can help me, and tell me what i many have done wrong, i would appriciate it!
