Podcast hell

So I finally got the AMP'D podcast up and running...why does Vivian say this is so easy? Maybe I'm just dense, but it took forever to figure out. The kids did a beautiful job of recording the first episode. It's a wonderful discussion of what it's like growing up Black in Rochester. Anyway, first we had to figure out how to convert a wav file to something we could upload into GarageBand and/or iTunes, and then edit. Once we figured that out, we then had to figure out how to upload it onto a podcast hosting site. We tried gcast to no avail. We found podbean which also has video capability so signed up. But the problem of getting our file into the right format remained. Podbean takes zip files so...eureka! All this has taken much longer than expected. Check it out now that we finally did it. Subscribe, comment, become our friend!
