With Audacity we get KS2 and KS3 pupils to create a radio programme in an hour. That's pupils who've never used Audacity before!
Basically, it's a free, open-source multi-track sound editor. It allows you to import sounds and music or to record your own with a microphone. Each "track" can be manipulated (change the pitch, tempo, add fades, distortion etc...)
It's a great tool for music, but also too create plays (the 3 witches scene works well), science "lectures", historical accounts - the list is endless. Of course, the finished product can be put onto a website later and then you've got a podcast!
