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 presenters is "Buddy". After editing in GarageBand and (for noise removal and deletion of unnecessary silence) Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/), 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 Apple iPhoto and Adobe Fireworks.
This show was produced at the Bardwell Road Adult Centre, St Clare's, Oxford, UK.
