Thought this might interest all of us vintage Mac fans - here's
somebody talking about his Mac OS 9 setup that he uses to produce one
of Sweden's most successful podcasts on cars:

A "podcast" is really just a sound file. It can be created or listened
to on almost anything with sound capabilities, the version or type of
OS is irrelevant. You could make a podcast on an old Commodore 64
without any real trouble.
 
The name "podcast" probably needs to be consigned to history, since
Apple no longer makes iPod devices.  :-( Maybe they should now be
called something like "pre-recorded audio shows".

Very true! But when you want something that sounds professional and
"radio like", a Commodore 64, recording to tape on the kitchen radio or
recording onto someones answering machine doesn't really cut it. You
want to some audio processing, editing and do *something* that adds some
kind of production value to the sound.

But yeah, it's just a sound file. If you don't care about sound quality
you can surely use whatever with recording capabilities to do it.
