Blog Experts-Much help needed!

I want to set up an online blog focusing on Rugby around the world. However, I have lots of Rugby contacts and want to have a radio segment on the blog for live broadcasts and Q&As with famous rugby players,pundits,coaches etc. I was hoping to do one on a thursday or friday before the weekends action and one on the Monday after the weekends action with other days being filled in with the occasional rant etc. How would I go about doing this?

What I want for the Radio segment is to have a section where listeners can ask questions via a chat room which can then be asked and answered. What software would be needed to do this if needed?

Finally, what would I need to set up the blog itself. I take I'd need a host,domain, wordpress? or should I use blogger.com? Any general blog setup ideas would be great thanks.

So I hope you can help me!

You need wordpress found at:

www.wordpress.org

Then just customise it to your liking i.e. mods and styles... pretty easy

just to elaborate on the wordpress recommendation, they offer a specific plug in for your needs which will make it easy to do a podcast. to record the podcast your gonna need a mic, and a piece of software you can get by doing a simple search on the net...search for "audacity"...this will allow you to mix and add sound. to set up a chat room just use aol, or any number of chat offerings.

you'll likely need a hosting service and a domain name with wordpress for your site.
