The big assumption in all this is that everyone has something interesting to say and are fluent enough to say it. My long-held belief is that everyone should only do the things they're very good at doing. In the past this "natural selection" ensured that only the best minds were heard or read. Now any vacuous drivel can get spread around. At the present rate civilisation will soon be going backwards.

My recommendation: just start. Get a reasonable microphone, use your PC to record, and make a few practice podcasts. See how they sound to you.

My weekly podcast is done with a plantronics USB mic and headset, my PC, and Audacity - the free open source sound editor. That's it.

My biggest worry is that I'll have all of these cool ideas for my podcast but the technology will get in the way.

So do I have to go spend money, or can I go downstairs in my makeshift studio, record my podcast any way I want, convert it to an MP3 and I'm ready to download onto a podcast site?

Fortunately Adam Curry is entertainment savvy AND a tech geek, so the balance is there. Unfortunately, I'm just now understanding how to attach a file when I email someone, but I've got tons of ideas, concepts, projects, etc.

The technology is holding me hostage from participating.

I have also heard of podcasting sites where anyone
can record thoughts, music, poetry etc., and post it so anyone can hear it. This sounds like an exciting way to start underground podcasting shows, which could them move onto the mainstream podcasting sites.
A page like this could also use podcasting; instead of reading this post you could be listening to it.

I'm the one who thought it boring. :) I guess my real point was, Adam Curry and others make a big deal about what a revolution podcasting is, but it's hard to hear the revolution if the messenger sucks. That said, I don't even have an iPod, so it's something I experience at my desktop computer and thus is not much different than just downloading an mp3 file manually. If I actually had an iPod my opinion would probably change.
