Powerpoint + Audio

I thought I was going to have a hard time creating my podcast assignment. I had the idea that it was supposed to be really elaborate and had to be posted on apple itunes. Anyway, I decided to create a Powerpoint presentation of the gist of my culminating paper. After I created a slideshow, I wondered what to do to upload some audio. As I looked around on the Powerpoint tools I saw that you can insert audio. For a while I thought I can record something from there but instead it was asking me to upload an audio file. So I sat there at my computer and started thinking. Okay, I need to create an audio file to post with my PPT. I started by playing around with Garageband. I even recorded two versions and saved it. Then I tried to upload it and for some reason it didn't want to. I started getting panicky and then remembered Audacity. I had downloaded it and so I used Audacity to record another audio file. Turns out you can save it to a .wav or .mp3 file. Anyway, to make a long story short, I was able to easily add audio to my PPT and therefore created my very first podcast. It's pretty cool!
