Paul Garay is not just a master of audio production, he's a master of Podcasting - in fact, Paul is Apple's main Podcast trainer! When he's not traveling coast to coast teaching the fine art of podcasting for Apple, you can also catch him at his own popular podcast, the Inside Home Recording Show, where Paul and his friends discuss all things related to project recording studios.
This program teaches valuable podcasting skills including recording and editing podcasts, using GarageBand's built-in DSP effects to compress and EQ your voice to give it that big podcast sound, making enhanced podcasts with images and URL links listeners can click, and publishing your podcast on iTunes or through iWeb.
Of particular note, there's also a detailed section on recording remote interviews with people over the web, via Skype - really cool stuff if you don't have the time or resources to fly your interviewees to your home studio!
