How do I make a good live podcast?
What’s happening is that I’m starting a podcast on UStream, and will be doing it live. What I want to know is how I can mix it and add sound effects (I will have 2 microphones) whilst it is live (the audio goes through software, comes out of it and then into UStream possibly). And if possible, can I record it whilst I do all this?

podcast live???
i have a couple programs, garage band and podcaster. i have a question.
on either of them, can you make a podcast live, like make an internet radio type thing
Here’s a step-by-step guide to making your first podcast.
One option to consider is Audacity. It’s open source, cross-platform, free and let’s you mix together multiple audio files.
On the Macintosh, GarageBand is a popular choice, because it is free and powerful.
Save your finished audio show at maximum quality in the native format of your audio application. That way you can go back and edit it or reuse it and you’ll have a good version.
Convert the file to MP3 format. Once you have your audio content, you need to save it in MP3 format. MP3 is the defacto standard format for podcasts. Stick with MP3 unless you’ve got a very good reason for using another format. Using anything but MP3 will mean that some users may not be able to use your podcast.
Use the minimum bit rate that provide good results. Here are some suggested settings:
* 48 – 56k Mono – sermons, audio books, talk radio
* 64k+ Stereo – music, music & talk combinations
* 128k Stereo – good quality music
Make sure you save it with a .mp3 file extension
The article Saving MP3 Files for Podcasting has more detailed information.
Publish your MP3 – save your MP3 files to your web server, and test them with any MP3 player. The files can go anywhere on your site, but you may want to put all of them into one directory, so they are easy to find and manage.
Create your podcast newsfeed – Podcast feeds are RSS files that describe your podcast, along with information for each show. An RSS file is just a text file that links to your MP3 file.
For a brief introduction of to RSS, check the article Understanding RSS Feeds. For details on RSS, check the RSS 2.0 Specification. The specification includes an example file that can be used as a starting point for creating new RSS files.
You can use any text editor to create an RSS news feed. However, most podcasters use blogging programs or other applications to automatically generate newsfeeds.
If you have a blogging tool that lets you reference enclosures, just create an item for each MP3 file you publish, and use URL of the audio content as your enclosure. If your blogging tool doesn’t support enclosures yet, don’t worry, it will soon because of the popularity of podcasts
In the meantime, you can edit your RSS file with any text editor to add the enclosure tag. Here’s an example from the Trade Secrets podcast newsfeed:
RSS newsfeeds normally feature news Items that contain a Title, Link, and Description. Each item in a news feed provides meta-information about a URL on the web. In the case of a podcast newsfeed, each Item describes the content of an audio file referenced by the enclosure URL. Save your RSS file with a .rss or .xml extension.
Normally, you’ll want to have one news feed that contains all of your recent podcasts, ordered from newest to oldest.
Publish your podcast news feed – transfer your podcast RSS file to your webserver, like you would any other content. Validate it using an online RSS validator. If the podcast news feed is valid, it’s ready to be published to the web.
That’s it! Check your podcast and publicize it. Several designers have come up with some great podcasting logos, so make sure you make it easy to find your podcast.
Don’t forget to add your site to the Podcast Directory.

How do you record/post a live podcast?

If you have the ability to pay for web hosting, I recommend the wordpress blog software with a podpress plugin. You can see and example of it here for video

Making a LIVE Podcast with People Spread Across the Country?
Okay well I am making a podcast with several other hosts, but we don’t want it scripted. We want it to be live talk show, but we are all over the country.
Is there any program that would allow people with microphones who aren’t in the same room together to talk and record the live show? *desperately need this*
Most people use Skype for something like this, and then another program that records the sound output. Gizmo Project is similar to Skype, except that it includes the recording feature built into the Gizmo Project software
Note that the sound quality will vary, and you will probably want to test to see what works best for you.
