Enter a name for your podcast,
click the "Create" button
5
00:00:14,948 --> 00:00:19,085
and GarageBand opens with
a new empty podcast project.

7
00:00:21,321 --> 00:00:26,059

00:00:28,395 --> 00:00:31,164
or any other mic connected to your computer.

[Welcome to the California travel podcast]
11
00:00:34,234 --> 00:00:37,771
[this episode is all about
my recent trip to Lake Tahoe]
12
00:00:37,771 --> 00:00:40,006
After you record the basic narration
13
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,475
you can quickly add jingles, background music
14
00:00:42,475 --> 00:00:45,979
and other sounds from the Loop browser.
15
00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:47,680
Select "Jingles" in the browser
16
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,819
and then pick a musical genre
that fit your podcast.
17
00:00:52,819 --> 00:00:55,922
It's easy to preview loops
by simply click on them.

[Loop examples]
19
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,302
Once you find one that you want to use
20
00:01:09,302 --> 00:01:11,204
just drag it to the jingles track
21
00:01:11,204 --> 00:01:14,707
or to the empty area
at the bottom of the timeline.
22
00:01:14,707 --> 00:01:17,710
Adding artwork to your podcast is easy too.
23
00:01:17,710 --> 00:01:19,679
Select a podcast track
24
00:01:19,679 --> 00:01:21,514
and click the media browser button
25
00:01:21,514 --> 00:01:24,884
which gives you access to your iPhoto library.
26
00:01:24,884 --> 00:01:27,153
Drag the image that you want
to use from the browser
27
00:01:27,153 --> 00:01:29,622
to the episode artwork box.
28
00:01:29,622 --> 00:01:31,458
This is the photo that your audience will see
29
00:01:31,458 --> 00:01:33,126
when they download your podcast
30
00:01:33,126 --> 00:01:35,028
and when they listen to it.
31
00:01:35,028 --> 00:01:38,498
If you want to show them other photos
in different parts of the podcast
32
00:01:38,498 --> 00:01:40,533
all you have to do is drag in other images
33
00:01:40,533 --> 00:01:42,335
and drop them in the "Podcast Track"
34
00:01:42,335 --> 00:01:44,537
where you want them to start.
35
00:01:44,537 --> 00:01:47,507
The photos will also act as
chapters in your podcast,
36
00:01:47,507 --> 00:01:50,677
you can easily add titles
by clicking the "Chapter Tile" column
37
00:01:50,677 --> 00:01:53,746
in the podcast track editor.
38
00:01:53,746 --> 00:01:57,217

to a website for each chapter.

00:01:57,217 --> 00:01:59,018
First type in the "URL Title"
40
00:01:59,018 --> 00:02:00,753
what your audience will see
41
00:02:00,753 --> 00:02:04,424
and then enter the actual link in the URL box.
42
00:02:04,424 --> 00:02:06,826
The last thing to do is to review your podcast
43
00:02:06,826 --> 00:02:09,762
and make sure looks and sounds
exactly how you want it.
