If you haven’t reached that conclusion yet, check out my post “It’s time for you to start a podcast,” then come back. The “nuts and bolts” of podcasting are much, much simpler than they were when podcasts first came on the scene. These days, you don’t even need a computer (strictly speaking).

Inspired By Serial, Teens Create Podcasts As A Final Exam In the months leading up to the final exam, 10th grade teacher Alexa Schlechter struggled. She’s an English teacher — an educator of stories told through the written word.
