Summary of steps to starting a podcast:

  1. Just start! Use the equipment you have and build from there

  2. Choose a topic that you’re passionate about and that also has depth to it

  3. Create a podcast name and logo! I recommend Canva or Adobe Express

  4. Record your first three episodes! Either on your phone or right into your editing software choice. I recommend Audacity or Adobe Audition

  5. Edit audio on Audacity or Adobe Audition (you can add music, a jingle, or sound FX)

  6. Upload episode to Spotify for Podcasters or Buzzsprout 

  7. Promote your podcast using your social media! I recommend Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook!

    Tips: Be consistent! Promote yourself! Try to find a niche! Research techniques on YouTube! Stay true to yourself but be open to grow!
