You also need to know that if you click on the red (right-hand) recording meters, they will wake up and monitor the incoming show without going into full record.

Selection B. Audacity doesn't edit video. Export the show at 48000 WAV, not 44100 WAV. That's much more likely to match the video editing software you use. 48000 is the sample rate for video. 44100 is the rate for music CD.

Then, when you tried to mix that song with your voice for a podcast, it failed? Take all the step carefully how you got the original music. Who play...

Since I am squeezing about 2 1/2 hours of conversation into 78 minutes We are relieved you're not trying to squeeze 2-1/2 hours onto a music CD by compressing the show in MP3. Lots of people try that. No, it doesn't work. 78 minutes is fixed. You select a tiny portion of the show, <delete> and then...

Does the microphone work if you try a straight recording? No fancy overdubbing or tricks?

Start with a fresh Audacity. Is your microphone selected in the Input drop-down menu on the Audacity main window?

You also need to be in Edit > Preferences > Recording > Overdub...
