Main Segment

In this episode of the EduRoadTrip, we discuss our podcasting process, starting from the initial planning process on Google Docs and Voxer, through our recording process on Google Hangouts on Air, and finally with our editing and uploading process via Blogger. We emphasize that this entire process is done with native equipment on our laptops, at no additional cost (aside from Justin’s editing software, which he purchased a few years ago), and is relatively easy for the moderately techy person to complete.
