Ask the Geeky Girls -
Erin (ErinIreland)Erin (ErinIreland) from Illinois asks:
I would like to know more about the technical side of podcasting. I understand if you do not want to reveal the “back of the camera” side. Since it is proprietary information. How do you prepare? You are an avid reader and movie watcher, so how do you keep everything organized to include in the podcast? How do you edit? How long does it take? What equipment do you use? I have so many more questions but I think this gives you an idea of my interest in how the podcast works.
