It depends on the quality that you want to have. An iPod or iRiver 10 feet out from the stage could work on the inexpensive end. You could also dangle expensive microphones from your theater ceiling. It just depends on the quality/cost you decide
upon. Both could be recorded using a PC or Mac and Audacity or GarageBand.

>> Here is a resource page that I put together regarding podcasts...the first few links have info on creating audiocasts with windows OS/software. It is a little dated, but still relevant.

>> Below you'll find a link to a project that we did with our 5th grade students last year...they made virtual tours of University School by taking a bunch of digital photos, writing a collaborative script with google docs, and recording their podcast on
>a mac using garageband. You'll need a user name/password to access the files (user name is usm, password is wildcat)...there are other samples of a project we did with 7th grade students in English class as well.

http://ashtonw12usm.wikispaces.com/Course+Portfolio . Students in my middle school media production class are all using pages like this to highlight some of the film shorts they've created and to write a little project reflection.
