Opinion: Want to start making your own podcast? Here's how. [Opinion]
Get to know the people reporting on some of the biggest stories in local journalism.
Podcasts are audio stories distributed over the internet. Like YouTube did for videos, audio podcasts represent the democratization of radio, making a medium once gatekept by professionals more widely available. You don’t need a recording studio or a fancy microphone to broadcast yourself. All you really need is a smartphone and something to say. Audio blogs can be traced back to the 1980s, but podcasts really came about after the iPod was invented in 2001 because it allowed radio broadcasts to be downloaded and stored in an mp3 player. In fact, “podcast” is a portmanteau of “iPod” and “broadcast.” As of this year, there are more than 2 million podcasts and counting.1. Decide what your podcast is going to be about.
This seems fairly simple, but it’s deceptively hard to come up with a good idea for a podcast. So you want to talk about food? Great. Are you and a friend going to rate new restaurants, interview celebrity chefs, highlight how climate change is affecting food systems or something else? Narrow down your topic and make sure you can explain your focus in a single, declarative sentence before moving on.
After settling on a topic and format, it’s time to collect audio. If you’re going to record Q&A-style interviews, you’ll just need a mic and a way to record. You can do both of these things using your smartphone with apps like Spotify Anchor, which has built-in recording, editing and uploading capability. You can also record on Zencastr or even Zoom, which has a record function and became commonly used by TV stations and podcasts during the pandemic.
