What Shopping Do I Need to Do to Create a Podcast?

Whenever I download a podcast on my laptop or iPod, I wonder if I will ever be able to create a podcast like that. When I did a bit of research on creating podcasts, I found that the process was a fairly simple one.

You might have downloaded a podcast on your desktop PC, laptop or iPod. You might have watched podcasts for entertainment, collecting information, or for work purposes.

The very first thing I did in creating a podcast was to do some research on the topic.

First, the internet is a wonderful source for researching how to create a podcast. Many sites allow you to create one through their site for free, or for a minimal cost. If you want to do it completely on your own, make sure your system is set up for MP3 files. Creating a podcast is a great way to get you some exposure all over the internet. This makes it popular for musicians wanting to get their music out there, authors enticing readers with an interesting segment of a book, or people just sharing things for fun and entertainment.

Regardless of your reason, creating a podcast is easy and fast. The great thing about the set up is your can do it with any type of platform or application. Save your completed audio to ensure the quality will remain the same when it is connected with the audio portion. Then convert it to MP3 format. It is important to use MP3 or your podcast will be distorted or users just won’t be able to open it.

Next, decide where on your site you want to post the podcast. It is recommended that you add a podcast directory to make them easy for users to find. Then create your podcast feed. This is the RSS files that connect your podcast and allow the information to be transmitted. If you are using a blogging tool, remember to create an item for each MP3 item that you publish. If you are not using a blogging tool, simply add the enclosure tag to the end of the file name.

So what are the things I need? I need to record an audio file and convert it into an MP3 file. I need a good microphone connected to a computer. I need a software to convert my audio files to MP3 format. I need a software to upload my podcast on my website. And I am done.
