So, it is finally time to look back, and reflect on the topics that have been discussed throughout this Weblog. We began by defining a podcast, and listing some of the benefits offered to its users. Among which were:

1. The ability to host your own web-based radio station;
2. The ability to interview experts in regards to subjects that are of interest to your intended audience...and so on (Gunter).

We also addressed the fact, that there is a direct correlation between the amount of time spent in the process of planning a podcast, and the level of quality and/or receptiveness by its audience . In addition, the steps involved in recording a podcast, as well as, the soft ware needed to do so were also described within this Weblog.

Furthermore, the editing procedure was the fourth subject to be discussed. It was mentioned that Audacity can not only be used as recording software, but also as an editing one. In addition, it was noted within this Weblog, that Audacity provides its users with various editing options. These include: The ability to delete unwanted noises, awkward pauses, as well as, the freedom to add a musical background to your podcast in order to give a more “professional polish” to it (Fariwar, Give your podcast professional polish with Audacity).

Lastly, the publishing process was described. In short, the uploading and/or publishing process involves the creation of a Weblog, and an RSS (Blogger). It was discussed, that the fastest and easiest way to do so, is by using a “blog-creating” software also known as a Blogger.
