Podcasts are like radio or TV shows that can be downloaded over the Internet, and they are one of the fastest growing forms of multimedia. With GarageBand 3, you can create your podcast episodes and then upload them to the Internet using iWeb or another application.

There are four primary types of podcasts: audio podcasts; enhanced podcasts with markers, artwork, and URLs; video podcasts containing a movie; and enhanced video podcasts containing a movie, markers, artwork, and URLs.

In this lesson, you'll first learn how to create a new podcast episode and set up the voice tracks for recording. Then you'll work on a real-world enhanced podcast with multiple voice tracks, markers, artwork, and a URL. Along the way, you'll also build an opening title sequence, learn how to add a project to another project, edit marker regions and artwork, and record sound effects directly to the Timeline.
