- BBC Podcasts
Before you make a podcast, first familiarise yourself with the podcasts that are out there already. A good place to start is the BBC, a pioneer of podcasting. Navigate around the site, find some episodes, and listen to them right from your browser.
- ITunes Podcasting
I know you're eager to get started, but I recommend you spend a few weeks listening to podcasts first. Get a feel for the medium. This tutorial will show you the easiest way to do that, which is to subscribe via iTunes.
- AudioBoo
Alright already! Let's get going. If you have an iPhone, AudioBoo is a great way to dip your toes - you can record straight from the phone and publish podcast episodes automatically. The catch is you can only record short episodes and you can't edit them later, control metadata, or provide your own landing page.
- Recording
Let's now go the full monty, with a manually recorded podcast. This tutorial shows you how to make a recording, and you'll end up with an MP3 file.
- LibSyn
You'll need somewhere to stick the MP3 files. You can actually use almost any blogging framework, but LibSyn has a lot of stuff built in for you.
- Hosting
If you're hosting your own, say on your wordpress blog, you should familiarise yourself with the technical details in this tutorial. You'll probably want to look around for plugins to fit your blogging framework.
- Uploading
Now you have a file on your machine and a host in the cloud. This tutorial will help you get the former up to the later, and then people can subscribe. Yay!
- Skype Interviews
Now, some specialised topics to make your podcasts even better. First, recording interviews with skype.
- Equipment
Some fairly cheap equipment to improve your audio quality
- Book
Remember, it's more than audio quality. Your content and how you cover it is really the king. This book takes you through all the details of making a successful podcast, from two guys who were podcasting right from the start.
