I needed a list like this and you delivered it. Thank you, Chitraparna. Based on personal experience, could you recommend one or two of the tools you’ve listed for someone who would like to try blogcasting but does not want to get bogged down in technical details?
Frank, in that case, use Audacity or Pod Bean
