4 Tips For Starting Your First Podcast

Recording A Podcast

There are a number of steps you need to follow when you are ready to record a podcast. First, you should set up the technical aspects of your podcast. You should test it beforehand to ensure that everything works correctly. You will need a computer, a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), and podcast-specific recording software. You should also have an audio interface with enough inputs for your recording.

Scripting

Before you begin writing your podcast script, do some research. Listen to podcasts that are already on the air and write down any notes you find. This will help you have a solid jumping off point for your writing.

Editing

If you are a podcast novice, you may wonder whether or not you should edit a speaker’s original speech. It may seem like a good idea, but you might also find yourself cutting out the speaker’s idiosyncrasies. The answer depends on the content of the conversation and how you want your listeners to experience the podcast.

Guest-Host

Before deciding to get a guest on your podcast, you should think about the audience of the potential guest. You should consider whether your podcast topic will appeal to their audience, and whether they can add value to it. In addition, a potential guest must believe that they can extend their brand by coming on your podcast. This means that you should carefully review the potential guest’s work. If they are known for making bad podcasts, you should avoid them.
