A good place to start
Hi Glenn,
Have a listen to Episode 58. It's a whole episode just on what you are looking for.
I think you will get a lot of information out of it.

Another place to start is the series we did on podcasting at http://geeksandgod.com/podcast...

Glenn, This is gonna sound
Glenn,
This is gonna sound strange and maybe a little archaic, but I inherited the job and had to keep some old proceedures in place.
We do a CD recording of the sermon each sunday. I take that CD and extract it with BonkEnc Audio encoder. I then pull it into Audacity and trim up anything we cant put on the web. Export it to MP3 and tag it with Mp3Tag. I then upload it to our podcast site which is Loudblog hosted in a dreamhost account.
Everything is free, well documented and easy to use.
If you dont do CD recordings, you can feed the audio from your soundboard directly into a computer running Audacity and record it on the fly.
Hope that helps.

Good info
Good info here Peter...You've made the process simple to follow, and I don't find it 'archaic' at all. For our sermons I use a Mac, and I use the following process:
1. Record on CD
2. Pull the AIFF off the disc, import into Pro Tools
3. record intro/outro, import music, edit
4. Mix to a mono AIFF
5. Encode using Max Audio Encoder
6. Upload
I think this process (much like yours above, just using different audio software) is the easiest and most common. Recording directly into a DAW would be ideal, but is probably too much work and not easy enough for volunteers (not to mention, doesn't offer an easy archived version, which CD does). I think CD is a great way to go.
