If you have a Mac, I recommend Audio Hijack. If not, Audacity for Windows is free and good. Audio Hijack is better and more flexible, but I'd still get Audacity for editing.

Funny you mention it. Just yesterday I threw together my first php script to dynamically compile i-tunes compatible rss feeds. I'ts a bit rudimentary... you would have to manually fill out a form that would update a database with the audio metadata... (and upload via FTP your audio file) but if that isn't too much trouble, email me and I'll show you what I have. Not sure what kind of backend you are running. Love your site and would be happy to help.

I just have spent 2 months working all of this out. I have a Mac, so I use GarageBand (no problems at all) with Audio Hijack Pro with Skype to do phone interviews.

For putting up the podcast, I use Loudblog. Pretty sweet software, available at http://loudblog.de/

I have about 10 interviews completed, just editing them and putting them up on http://theadventurelifestyle.com

E-mail me if you have any questions, I would love to help out.
