Surfing the Inner N8

Our church will hopefully be podcasting very soon–and for less money than I’d expected.  While the ideal scenario would be a Countryman mic with a CD recorder running through the sound board, I’ve discovered an alternative.  We ordered a digital voice recorder and inexpensive lapel mic.

The voice recorder arrived yesterday, and it is tiny.  It’s about one-fourth the size of my cell phone!  It will easily fit in my pocket.  I’ll just run the mic cord into it, hit play, and we’re all set.  From there I just take the recorder, which comes apart in the middle, and stick it into my laptop to upload it.

If we had our church website up, we could even begin podcasting this Sunday.  But that’s probably still a couple weeks away.
