Audacity

=Audacity=

There are a few popular programs used for podcasting, audio recording, and audio manipulations. In this class we will be using Audacity. Audacity is an Open Source program developed and modified by a network of programmers with the central purpose of bettering the program and its functions.

Another good thing about audacity is that it is free and the same across platforms (e.g. mac, windows, linux, etc.). When we create our own podcasts, you will need this Program in order to continue with it.
