Easy as shelling peas in a pod

Certainly not a technologically daunting experience, anyway.

Podcasting for LC technophobes

STEP 1
Peter hands you a mysterious looking black box.

STEP 2
Scuttle down to the interpreting booths for top quality sound-proof recording.

STEP 3
Record a conversation or monologue by pressing REC on the mysterious black box.

STEP 4
Hand the black box back to Peter.

Thereafter, Peter obviously does some wondrous link work to the PC (yet to be mastered by these fair hands) and before you know it, you're casting for all & sundry.
