Lately I’ve had some free time so I've been watching the movies being mentioned this award season.

Who has the best "start a podcast" guide? I am going to do a pilot run of 10-12 episodes of a podcast and need to know what software etc., where to upload stuff. I'm looking for efficiency and just enough that I won't be like, "wow I screwed this up" in a year or two.
