We just recorded our lastest internal podcast for NCC leaders. It's our monthly touchpoint where we share "inside information."
Here's a link if you want to have a listen.
Also thought I'd give you a visual of our "podcast studio" also known as David Russell's office--the den, the hood, the pod. Goes by a few monikers.
By the way, if you look closely and carefully, and you are a Zoolander fan, you'll notice a little magnum pose. Or is that blue steel?

We are looking into podcast recording equipment and the setup you have sure looks nifty... any way to post equipment / software you guys use?
Daniel: We use Heil PR40 microphones exclusively for all 'casting. (The exception is that the audio from the sermons are delivered via Countryman E6 headsets or Sennheiser handhelds through Sennheiser transmitters and receivers. All studio 'casting is done with Heil.) We get our PR40s shipped from the Ham Radio Outlet just down the road in Woodbridge, VA.
In the photo, you also see a Heil PL2T desk boom and a standard-issue pop filter---almost any will do and you can even make your own.
We run all studio inputs into the Alesis Multimix8 Firewire mixer and then into the machine, a Quad Core G5 from Apple. We are moving to Apple Logic Express to capture, polish and produce the audio. All podcast audio is compressed using the MP3 codec to 64kbps bitrate at 44.100khz sample rate and a mono signal. (That's equivalent to 128kbps stereo, so 64/mono sounds nice!) We listen to the reference audio through a pair of Sony MDR-7509HD headphones.
The final audio from the Mac is transferred over to my Windows PC and I use iTunes to throw on ID3 information and artwork. I hand craft most of our podcast feeds, though the Zone Gathering feed is auto-generated by WordPress. Feedburner also keeps our feeds in check by adding the iTunes elements automatically. I use SmartFTP to upload the files and Dreamweaver to edit and upload the feeds.
And that's that. :)
Well, now we all know why David Russell is called the Digital Pastor.
I love it! =)
