now you are thinking about creating your own podcast,
but you're not sure how to go about doing it. In this
post I'm going to cover all the equipment and
resources needed to prepare your podcast at lightening
speed.
3. Equipment
1) A computer or laptop to polish the audio and put it on
the internet.
2) A microphone to record the content for the podcast.
3) Some audio editing suite, to enable add, remove and
change bits of your of your podcast.

4. Multiple Ways
There are multiple methods to create a podcast making
use of the list above, now I will give you a step by step
account of one of many ways you can go about it.
5. Audio Editing Software
Having made sure you have a laptop and mic, you need
to download an audio editing software. For my
example I am going to use Audacity. Whilst
downloading audacity, be sure to also download a mp3
encoder, so that will save the podcast in mp3 format.
Be sure to save the encoder in the plugins folder of the.
6. Editing Your Podcast
After you have all the data for the podcast, it is time to
edit. This is a chance to add introductions and closing
jingles and promos. Make sure to remove noise using
the in-built features of audacity to make your podcast
sound better and also make it the best experience
possible for those that are listening to your podcasts.
Make sure to go through all the audio and remove the
quiet spaces on the podcast. Also use the normalise
feature to remove audio spikes that might be ruining
the audio.
