This show was recorded in class, on group teacher, Geoff's, Apple MacBook Pro computer with the program Garageband. The Garageband jingle chosen by the presenter is "Wild Card ". After editing in Garageband and Audacity (for automatic silence deletion), the audio volume was leveled using the program Levelator (www.gigavox.com/levelator), and the file was converted to MP3 format using LameBrain (check at www.macupdate.com). The photo was edited in Adobe Fireworks.
