Topic 5 From recording to airing

Now that you know what it takes to produce a Podcast, you can record your own episodes! 

Get the recording equipment ready and start recording (you can do it on audacity, a free downloadable registration platform)! 

Once you’ve finished with the recording phase, you’re ready to air the Podcast episodes following the structure you’ve previously decided. 

AIR YOUR PODCAST:

  • Launch your podcast: Try to record more than one episode in time for your launch. Listeners who like your content will almost always look for the next episode and they like it to be available. 
  • Air it on podcasting platforms or app (spotify, google play, soundcloud..)
  • Interact with your listeners: ask them to subscribe, share, and leave a review of your podcast at the start and end of every single episode.
