How did you get started podcasting and why?

In a couple of weeks, I will be starting a Podcasting 101 Series called The Phases of Podcasting. It is a 6 part series that will start at the basics of podcasting and progress up to the more advanced stages such as video and screencasting.

I ask this question, “How did you get started podcasting and why?” in order to get some feedback from novice to experienced podcasters on what they did to get into podcasting, why they did it and what equipment did they use in order to get started.

Please leave comments to this post with your answers and also let me know that it is ok for me to use your stories in my upcoming series.

There are a lot of newbies coming onto the scenes nowadays and this is the main reason for beginning this series now. I will repeat this series, most likely a couple more times over the next 12 months, and maybe more frequently, as more new people come in and need this type of training.

Thank you in advance for all of your help on this. If you don’t want to leave a public comment, you can e-mail me the information and request that I withhold your information. Otherwise, feel free to put links in your comments on how others can listen to your podcasts so that you can get some free promotion out of this deal too!
