1. Open[1] the program.

2. Make sure external microphone (if any) is plugged in. (If one is using Windows, this can be done by going to “Control Panel,” and clicking on “sound and audio devices.” Then look under “sound recording.” Your microphone should be recognized in the drop down menu.

3. Click on the “Record” button; (red button).
4. Record the content of podcast.
