podcasting information, how to’s and legal info

On monday I gave a guest lecture to a group of first year radio students at the University of Westminster. One of the topics that came up during my presentation was podcasting, a great way for people to make their first (low or no-cost) steps into audio content production and broadcasting. Below I’ve put together some links that might be useful for anyone wanting to know more about podcasting – please add your own links as comments:
