What Do You Need to Produce a Podcast?


If you want to produce your own podcast, it can be quite a bit of work. But if you have a passion for the subject you are wanting to do a show on, it can be quite a bit of fun as well. If you want to get started, there are some things that you will have to have. While you might expect to have to invest thousands of dollars in hardware and software, this really isn't needed at all to make your own show.

The first thing that you are going to need is a basic microphone. This does not have to be fancy or very expensive at all. Many shows don't use professional equipment at all. Even the ones that do started with basic computer microphones. As long as you can get a basic recording out of it, it will be more than fine. At a later date if your show becomes more popular, you can consider investing in something nicer, but don't do this at first.

Get a free program called Audacity. Many people who podcast use this program. Not only can you record with it, but you can also cut and mix the audio tracks. This helps you edit out mistakes, put music into the podcasts, and other things.

Be sure that you understand how to make a feed for your podcast. This is extremely important to getting listeners and something that many overlook. While it is a bit technical for many, it's not as hard as it sounds. Get this feed submitted to iTunes as well as other podcast directories. This will get you listeners which is what your goal is so that they can enjoy the show you want to make.

Get a basic site up as well as using social networking platforms. These will help you stay in touch with your listeners which is important to producing a better show.
