Our church is wanting to podcast our sermons but we have never tried this. We have a small budget; with this in mind; what is the easiest way to start doing this? We are currently meeting in a local YMCA and have a computer we use for different areas of worship.
Any info you can share would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and have a blessed day

Hi Wesley, for low-cost podcasting of your sermons, there are a couple of free options — http://www.sermon.net/, http://www.sermoncloud.com/ (freemium), and http://sermondrop.com/ (freemium). What your church would need a volunteer to record the sermon, upload the audio file (typically in MP3 format) onto one of these services, and link to the sermon audios from your church website.
[...] Start podcasting your sermons for free at sermon.net or grow into it with a “freemium” service like sermoncloud.com or sermondrop.com (cf. episode 32 comments) [...]
