The software which my partner and I have chosen to use is the Mac application called "Garageband". It is a very basic piece of software which comes pre-installed on Mac products. I have some previous experience with using this application for other personal projects, but I have found three good sources for brushing up how to use Garageband specifically for recording podcasts.
The video "How to use Garageband to record a Podcast" on YouTube gives advice on how to balance the audio level when recording yourself using Garageband so that you are not too soft or too loud, as well as what quality would be best for the intended podcast once completed and exported.
The article "Creating a Podcast using Garageband" goes into more detail, showing a user how to cut out bits of a podcast that won't be needed, as well as inserting jingles and cleaning up the recorded audio if it is necessary. (http://mac.appstorm.net/how-to/music/creating-a-podcast-using-garageband/)
The powerpoint presentation found here goes the most in depth. It gives diagrams explaining why each piece of Garageband is and how it works, and acts as a user-manual of sorts to show just how to use Garageband if one was unfamiliar or had not used it before.
After fiddling around with the application for a bit, I have familiarized myself with it again, and do not think that there will be any problems when my partner and I record our podcast, or throughout the editing process. I think no one is really used to hearing themselves, whether it be on video or through recorded audio, so it is still quite strange, but I am aware that I will have to remember to speak a little more slowly and enunciate more for my information clear and understandable.
