In addition to being an avid podcast listener, I also co-host @girlinskies with @XolieNc.
I also conceptualised @Wamagaisa’s #BSRPodcast & lead on the post-production of it.
Just a mention of some of my experience in this space.
As I go along, feel free to ask any questions

🎧So you want to start a podcast?
If you’ve been thinking about starting a podcast, this is the question you should ask yourself?
💭Would I do it if no-one listened and I never made money from it?💭
If the answer is yes! Then yes, go ahead.

🎧 POP is
Purpose (Why?)
Outcome (What?)
Process (How?)

🎧 📌Making a podcast
If you can afford to, do try and find a good studio or community radio station that will let you use their equipment to record.
If that’s not an option you can record at home or on your phone. This video has helpful pointers

🎧 📌 Sound
Your sound is very important. We don’t necessarily pay attention to “good sound” but we know what bad sound is.
Sound is definitely one of the most important things to get right with your podcast. For at home recording, this is one I use but see link for full video

🎧📌 “I’ve recorded an episode - I’m ready for the world to listen. What next?”
You can consider a podcast hosting site to distribute your podcast. There are hosting sites such as @anchor @buzzsprout @podbean etc. Most of these sites will then get your podcast on Spotify, Apple

🚨 However, please do your research with these as most of the free hosting sites have limitations. These include incomplete analytics - if you opt for them to submit your podcast then you are reliant on their analytics.
🚨 Some of the terms & conditions suggest they have greater control over how they use, manipulate your content. This means little if podcasting is a hobby only.

🎧If you prefer greater control of your content. You can use sites like @SoundCloud.
There’s a cost as soundcloud only allows 3 hours free content then you’ll have to pay. When you upload your podcast, you’ll get an RSS feed link.
