Thank-you for spotlighting podcasting as a method for learning how to do family history research. This technology would also be great for creating an archive of the recorded interviews with your oldest family members.

These are general guidelines for transferring the recording from the cassette to your computer's hard drive, so it can be incorporated into your family history podcast.

If you've already got a cassette tape recording of an elderly member of your family, use the RCA plugs to connect your tape recorder to the sound card on your computer. Set your computer's audio recording software to receive the sound from this source and click "record". Then go to your tape recorder and press "play".
