First, you’ll need to have a microphone and record some content.

What are some good podcasting sites I can join?
user
I recommend joining podcatch.com - I’ve found it to be the most accessible, easy-to-use platform for anyone to start a podcast.  Then, just choose an existing theme and follow their step-by-step process.  You’ll have your own podcast up and running in under a day!

What kind off equipment will I need to buy?
user
There are two options.  You can use your computer’s built-in microphone, or you can buy a stand-alone microphone.  You might find that a stand-alone microphone is better for getting a quality recording, as it provides a better pickup and uses higher-end microphones, but it’s also more expensive.  If you go with the built-in mic, you’ll have to avoid any background noise when you record and may want to consider getting a microphone enclosure.
