    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.
