PodCast??

I am currently working on putting together a podcast for my little web site and wow is this a perplexing task!! Why would some one want to put together a podcast about cooking, culinary arts, and food when all of these things utilize all senses other than hearing (except for fajitas and rice crispies)? Guess that some one is me and I would like to make it some kind of interesting. So what is next now that I have decided to undertake this unusual task?

The first thing I need to do is find a recording device to get voice from my mouth to the computer. Guess this can be done with a microphone but what if I want to interview "people" about certain culinary topics at a mobile location? I really can not carry around a desktop computer in my back pocket. A hand held digital voice recording device seems to be the way to go so I will be looking for something like this on the next few weeks. Looks like the cost will be around $150 for something half way decent, and the ability to transfer files to a computer.

I already have some background music thanks to Hoppie Vaughn from "The Fat Daddy Band" and Dave Harrison from Bluz N da Blood has helped out with some on the more technical details like mixing, equalizing, hosting, and promotion.

Right now, "I think people is going to really be the story" if I can find people in this Southwest, Virginia area who will be willing to put their voices out there about cooking and their own culinary experiences. I will probably babble on about some culinary topics but how boring would that got over time??

So, what would you like to see in a culinary podcast?
