Podcasting

I guess I'm behind the times in the geek world. Podcasting is the newest thing. I just recently found out about. One blog I read everyday, VividBlurry.com, started Podcasting this week. I downloaded and listened to his podcasts so far and they are pretty cool. I think they are MP3 files. You are supposed to download the files and put them on your iPod to listen to at a later time. I haven't done that. I listened to them right on my computer. Sounds like he has quite a set up to create the podcasts. I haven't the first clue how to do it. I've done some searches on the internets but haven't downloaded or bought any software to help me create these podcasts. Plus, once I got the right software, what would I talk about? I think I would need someone here to have a conversation with. I think me talking by myself would be quite boring. I tried using the internal microphone on my iMac and some very simple audio recording software but it sounds like shit when I play it back. I think it's picking up the fan noise from my computer.

Has anyone else looked into Podcasting? And if so, what software do you use? Do you use a microphone or your internal microphone? I think I need to do a lot more research before I attempt to create a podcast. I want it to sound decent so I know I'll have to work on it a bit longer before I create one on my own.
