Hello,

I am in the market to host a 4 person podcast with 3 speakers and 1 running sound effects during the broadcast, similar to morning radio shows. What do radio shows for this? My budget is 5K for all of the equipment. I would appreciate any help you could give.

Five grand? You could make a pretty nice home studio for that. With that kind of money, I'd bring in a consultant.

Its a stock ticker or teletype machine sound (here on AM news) tick-tick-tick-tick

I'm sure you could find the sound online and add it in a loop post production. I suppose it could be kind of neat to have an old antique one running real time in the background.

If you want to be able to cue sound effects like radio shows do their theme music and stuff, you need something like http://softronmedia.com/products/products/otas.html

Or if you want free, there's http://sourceforge.net/projects/harvestsounds or http://www.mrvoice.net/

All of these are designed to enable you to play sounds as and when necessary (light laughter at the right moment and stuff)
