Field Trip Info:

=What is halal?=

The term 'halal' is generally used to describe a lifestyle and, more specifically, butchering practice used by the Muslim community that follows religious law. It turns out it's not that different from kosher and may even be a healthy, more ethical alternative to mass produced meat.

= What is a podcast? = A podcast is a multimedia digital file made available on the Internet for downloading to a portable media player, computer, etc.

**How does one create a podcast?**


 * To create an audio podcast, you create a podcast project, record narration or dialogue in Real Instrument tracks, and then add music and sound effects (such as jingles and stingers) to other tracks in the timeline. For enhanced audio podcasts, you can add chapter markers, titles, artwork, web links, and episode information. When you are finished, you can send the podcast to iTunes or Dropbox to share on the Internet, or export it to disk. **
