Tool #2 - Microphone - Any microphone or webcam with microphone will do! The sound must be clear, don't use low quality microphone, or you might turn your audience away!

Podcast is a very powerful method to stick your visitors on your blog and give the search engine good impression that your blog is "Good". After recorded and edited your speech, you can just upload it to the server, preferably on the wp-content/uploads of your blog.
