Help on starting my own podcast?

[TheLinuxNerd 1]

Hi,

As the title explains I'm trying to start my own podcast on PodBean. I already downloaded audacity for the editing. I'm just wondering how I get started. From a technical stance I'm all set. I already have my own USB headset Microphone and a laptop. I just downloaded the intro/outro audio from another website. What recording software do I use? Please help me get started with building my own podcast. Thanks.
