I'd like to start a discussion on the mechanics of actually recording your podcasts.  Which programs do you use to record and edit?  Do you like them?  Why?  I'm particularly interested in your experiences with recording video chats via Skype and/or Facetime.  Have you had success with a particular platform?  Any tips I should be aware of?
