Pre-Production and a look at our set-up


Here is a quick look at our studio. We are using two apple powerbooks -  a 12" aluminum model running Audacity to record our podcast and a 15" titanium for on the spot research and when we need to bring up cnn.com really quick. 

We chose Audacity for the show because it's free, open source and advanced enough for what we need. If we went out and bought a $300 professional sound editing program I don't think we'd be able to figuire what half the controls do anyway.

On the advice of Kevin Rose from Diggnation, we went out and bought a Logitech desktop USB microphone on eBay for $49.95. I wanted to just use the internal mic in my laptop but there was some disagreement as to the sound quality being inputed.
