How To Start Podcast

Take a deep breath and have a look at these steps to organize yourself for the first Podcast.

• First plan your podcast, from listener to problem and make a note of solution.
• Give a short name to your podcast.
• Plan initial episodes to get a feel for your topic and its durability.
• Let’s choose a format that gives quality and sustainability.
• Arrange your equipment and use it to record a show.
• Present your show in a sustainable way.
• Finally, Publish your podcast to iTunes and elsewhere.

WHAT YOU NEED TO START A PODCAST

All you need to arrange a cell phone or computer, an internet connection, and something to talk about. First, think of a record and go.

1. START

Think about the topic which you are going start to record. Take some time and think about how you want your show to flow.  Is it segmented? Is it just you, or you and a friend? Do you have guests? Remote interviews? Is it more like a talk show? So your listeners know when next episode will release.

2. Starting With CELLPHONE

If you have a good Smartphone then this is the easiest way to start a podcast. All you need to install an app called Anchor. The anchor is a new and good quality app, that offers a high-quality record podcast, host unlimited episodes, and distribute everywhere with just one click.

Additionally, This app trying to renew the audio space, providing the space for you to have your own talk show, utilizing short-form audio, long-form audio, music, and more.It gives an option to interview your friends directly in-app, and even publish to iTunes.

3. EQUIPMENT YOU NEED

Now, you know the easiest way to record audio but when it comes to recording higher quality audio, I’d recommend getting some audio equipment.

Also, Go with up to two microphones at a time. You’ll record directly to your computer from the Focusrite interface, using the two Audio Technica mics.

Moreover, there is an alternative to the Focusrite interface would be this Zoom H4n, which records to an SD card, instead of a computer. Just plug the mics directly into it, and then put the SD card into your computer to get the raw files off after recording.

4.RECORDING & EDITING A PODCAST

Recording & editing is extremely similar across all these platforms, here I recommend you to go with Audacity, my favourite free audio recording & editing software.

Note*You can also have an eye on GarageBand if you have an Apple computer or Adobe Audition.

Move on,  Plug your audio interface to your computer. Plug the mics into the interface, and set up Audacity to record from them. Finally hit record and start talking!

Once you complete recording, you can start to edit. Start cutting up awkward silences, voice breaks and anything you don’t want on the record.

Cool! you complete this, Now export the file.

5. DISTRIBUTE A PODCAST

For a continues attachment with the audience, I would like to suggest go with 3-5 episodes ready to publish at once.

Think before publishing a podcast, Once you’re ready to publish your podcast, you’ll want to upload it for everyone to hear. Use any distribution/hosting service that hosts your files for anyone to download, and generates an RSS feed that “podcatchers” (like iTunes) read to know where to download the file from & information about the podcast.
