For many of us, podcasts are a favorite way to get our news or stay entertained while we're working out, commuting or getting stuff done around the house. Chances are you probably have a favorite (or seven) that you keep up with on a regular basis.

While every armchair broadcaster with a voice-recording app is eager to get in the game, creating a professional-sounding podcast isn't as simple as that. This guide will tell you how to create, record and publish your own basic podcast-and get people to listen.

Before you start, be ready to commit

Before you rush into things, it's important to keep in mind that podcasts take a lot of effort to get going. It's easy to assume they are easy to produce because most are audio only, but don't be fooled. They can take a lot of time to put together, especially when you're first starting out.

Also, podcasts do best when they're released consistently. If you're interested in developing any kind of listener base, you have to be ready to release episodes on a regular basis. Podcasting can be fun work, but it's still work, and should be treated as such.

Don't expect to get rich from podcasting. It's possible to generate income from podcasting, but that usually requires advertisements and sponsorships and patrons-all of which you can get only after you've built up a listenership big enough to make it worthwhile to advertisers.

If you're not interested in starting a podcast for the fun of it, or just to have your voice heard, you might not get much out of it unless you already have an eager audience.

The gear you'll need to get started podcasting

You can't start a podcast without equipment, and good equipment will go a long way. Here's what you'll need:

Microphone(s): Any microphone will work for recording your podcast, but listeners can usually tell the difference between low- and high-quality microphones. (I use four analog Audio-Technica AT2020s for my own podcast). As you shop around, you'll also need to decide whether you want to use a USB or analog (XLR) microphone. USB mics convert analog sound into digital, so you can plug a USB mic directly into any computer and start recording without much hassle, but you could potentially get lower audio quality compared to analog. Considering you don't need any extra tools or devices to record with a USB mic, they can be a little cheaper in the long run.

Analog microphones use XLR connectors, which means you need another device to get your audio onto your computer, but you can get higher audio quality and can use them with other sound equipment (if you had a PA system or wanted to play live music, for example).

Of course, if you have a gaming headset or other basic microphone around, you can easily use that to podcast, too, so long as the quality is decent. That won't work well if you are co-hosting or plan to have frequent guests, as you'll need multiple microphones to capture everyone.

Portable XLR recorder (optional): If you plan on using analog microphones for your podcast, you'll need something that captures your analog audio and converts it to digital. Portable XLR recorders can capture multiple microphone channels and allow you to do basic sound level adjusting and muting on the fly. Your Audio files automatically get organized and stored on a memory card that you can insert into a card reader or slot in your computer.

These are amazing tools, but they can be expensive. You can find them for anywhere between $100 and $500, depending on how many channels and options you need. (I use a Zoom H6 Handy Recorder with four available analog channels, which costs $300-$350.)

Audio interface (optional): If you want to record directly to your computer with your analog microphones, you'll need an audio interface. These devices allow you to plug in one or more analog microphones and will convert the analog audio to digital. Most audio interfaces will connect to your computer via USB or USB-C. Audio interfaces can cost as little as $30 and go as high as $300, depending on what you need.

A computer: Any Windows or Mac computer should work fine to record, edit and upload your podcast. Thankfully, editing audio doesn't take a ton of computing power. Additionally, depending on how you choose to record-directly to the computer or onto a dedicated recording device-your computer will also need the right ports. USB microphones, for example, will obviously need an open USB port. If you're using analog microphones with a portable XLR recorder or audio interface device, you'll need either a 3.5 mm audio-in jack, a USB/USB-C port, or in some cases, a FireWire port. Before you spend any money on equipment, make sure you have a computer that can support it.

Audio editing software: For the actual recording and editing, you'll need a Digital Audio Workstation (or DAW). There are a lot of good options out there, but the licenses for most aren't free. Professional-level DAWs like Reason cost anywhere from $99 to $599 depending on the features you want, while Pro Tools runs $29-$79 per year. Hindenburg offers audio editing software licenses for $95-$500, Reaper is a fully loaded audio production app that'll run you $60 and Adobe's audio editing software Audition CC is available with a $20.99 monthly subscription.

You probably shouldn't start dumping money into podcasting software as a beginner. Because of that, most people will recommend free open-source programs like Audacity when you're just getting started, and that's what we'll use an example throughout this guide.

You might be thinking that all this equipment is pretty pricey, and you're not wrong. However, keep in mind that decent audio equipment will last forever if you take care of it. It may be expensive at the outset, but after the initial purchase, you're set.

Narrow your topic and find your niche

There are a ton of podcasts out there, which means that you can probably find a podcast about everything under the sun already. Don't get discouraged! While nearly every broad topic is already covered, you just have to find your spin on things to make an old idea something new.

For example, if you wanted to make a podcast about music, ask yourself if there's an audience out there for what you want to talk about. Maybe you narrow your idea down from music in general to bluegrass specifically. Now your coverage is specific: the music, people, and culture of bluegrass.

Once you have your topic narrowed down, it helps to add a spin to it. Maybe you talk about bluegrass music and culture while sipping moonshine with your co-hosts. It's kind of true that everything has been done before, but it hasn't all been done the way you would do it. Find an angle that's interesting and engaging-the more your passion shines through your podcast, the more people are likely to keep listening.

Download, install, and set up Audacity

As mentioned earlier, Audacity is a great DAW for podcasting beginners. It's open source, free to use as long as you like, and is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Before you can jump into recording, there are a few tricks to getting it all set up properly:

1. Download and install Audacity 2.4.1.

2. Connect your microphone and open Audacity.

3. See if your microphone is being recognized by Audacity by checking the drop-down menu next to the small microphone icon. If you see your mic, go ahead and select it.

4. In the top-left corner, you should see the pause, play, stop, skip back, skip forward, and record buttons. Click the record button and talk into your mic to make sure it's working properly.

5. Stop recording and playback what you just recorded to make sure everything sounds okay.

Note that previously you had to download the LAME MP3 encoder to export your file as an MP3. LAME is now built into Audacity for Windows and Mac. If you're using Linux, follow these installation instructions.

Record and edit your podcast in Audacity

Recording is pretty straightforward in Audacity, but there are a few things you should do before you jump into your first show:

1. Connect your microphone and make a quick recording the same way as before to check your audio levels.

2. You can adjust your recording volume with the slider right above the drop-down menu where you selected your recording device.

3. When you've found a good level, go ahead and remove your recording test by clicking the small X at the top left of the track. You don't need it anymore.

4. Make sure your recording space is silent and record around 5 seconds of "silence." This is called room tone, and you can use this to cover up background noise while you're recording the real deal. You can mute this track for now by clicking the mute toggle button on the left side of the track. You can also minimize it by clicking the arrow at the bottom-left of the track.

5. Go to File > Save Project > Save Project As, and choose a name for your project. Keep in mind that this doesn't export any audio, just saves your progress.

Now you're ready to actually record the main part of your podcast. Hit the record button, and Audacity will start capturing your audio in a new track. When you're done recording, hit the stop button. It's as simple as that. Before you continue, be sure to save your work.

How to add intro and outro music

Writing and recording your own theme music is incredibly difficult if you don't know what you're doing (and it probably won't sound very good). Leave it up to the pros and find free tunes at any site that offers music under an Attribution International License or Attribution-NonCommercial International License-like the Free Music Archive:

1. Browse the music by genre or via search.

2. Find a track that you like and click the down arrow to download it.

It might take a while to find exactly what you want, but when you do, all you have to do is credit the creator in your podcast description.

Now it's time to add music and make any necessary edits:

1. Go to File > Import > Audio. Locate any music you want to use within your podcast, and click Open. The music will get dropped into Audacity as its own separate track.

2. Find the Selection Tool in the Audacity toolbar. (It looks like a typing cursor.)

3. Drag the Selection Tool over the section of music you'd like to use for your intro and outro music.

4. With that section of music currently selected, find the Trim Audio button on the Audacity toolbar and click it. You should be left with only the section of music you chose.

5. While that section of music is still selected, find the Copy button on the toolbar and click it (you can also use CTRL+C or Command+C).

6. On the same music track, click anywhere to the right of that music section. Then find the Paste button on the toolbar and click it (or CTRL+V or Command+V). You now have your intro and outro music, but it's still not quite ready.

7. With the Selection Tool, select one of the music copies. Then go to Effect at the top and choose Fade Out. Do the same for the other music copy, but choose Fade In instead. Your intro and outro music is now ready to go.

How to edit out certain bits of audio in your podcast recording

If you need to cut something out of your podcast-like swearing, if you're trying to keep clean, or information that shouldn't be made public-it's easy to fix:

1. Find the section of audio that you need to cut.

2. Use the Selection Tool and highlight the entire section you want to remove.

3. Find the Cut button on the toolbar and click. Boom, it's gone. (Alternatively, you could also use the Silence button.)

4. Remember the room tone you recorded earlier? You can copy a section of that and overlap it with the cut portion so you have a less-jarring silence.

With your music ready to go and your necessary edits made, you can now line everything up with the Time Shift Tool (two arrows connected by a thin line). Just slide each piece of audio in its respective track until you're happy with how all of the audio lines up. You might need to play around with it a little to find the sweet spot.

What if my podcast sounds bad?

If you feel like your audio isn't sounding as good as you'd like, there are few things you can tweak. For example, you can use Audacity's compression and EQ settings to get things sounding closer to radio quality. The best ways to use compression and equalizer settings could be multiple articles on their own, but this video from Podstart gives a quick overview of how to use them in Audacity.

Optional: Recording with multiple microphones or Skype

Why would you want to record with multiple mics? For one, it makes it a lot easier to fix someone's audio, either on the spot by adjusting their mic level or later on if you have multiple audio tracks recording at once.

Even with multiple USB microphones, however, Audacity can only recognize one audio input for recording at a time. The Audacity team does suggest a couple of ways to sneak around this limitation:

Windows: For using multiple USB microphones on Windows, you can aggregate them all into a single recording device using software like Voice Meeter (free) or Virtual Audio Cable. (The trial version supports up to three devices.) The audio from each mic will get picked up just fine, but all level adjustments have to be made through the software. In Audacity, you'll still only see a single recording track to edit.

If you're using multiple analog microphones, there are two ways you can go about it:

1. Use an audio interface device or mixer that connects to your computer.

2. Record everything on a portable XLR recorder and upload the files onto your computer.

You'll need one of those devices anyway to use analog microphones, so if you get one that supports multiple microphones, you're all set.

What about Skype, Google Hangouts, or other internet calling services?

Audacity doesn't support Skype recording directly, but the Audacity team has some ways you might be able to sneak around it for both Windows and macOS.

Otherwise, you'll have to use additional software like MP3 Skype Recorder or Pamela and import the call audio into Audacity the same way you would bring in music or other audio files. Once it's in Audacity, you can adjust levels and make sure everything sounds okay. As powerful as Audacity is-especially being free-it certainly has its limitations, so if you really enjoy podcasting, it could be worth it to spring for a better DAW down the line.

Tag and export your MP3 file in Audacity

Exporting your podcast as an MP3 file should be easy because you set up MP3 exporting before you started recording. There are still some important things to remember when you export, though.

First, you'll want to edit the file's metadata (also known as "tagging"). Metadata is information that displays no matter what the filename is and includes things like title, track number, album, and the name of the artist.

Fortunately, Audacity lets you do that when you export your audio as an MP3:

Go to File > Export > Export as MP3.

Select MP3 Files in the 'File type' drop-down menu. Then name the file (your podcast name and the number of the episode, for example). Click Save.

Now you'll see the Edit Metadata Tags window. Enter all of the necessary information (we'll go over that shortly). You can also add and remove sections as you see fit here.

Go down to the Template section and click Save. Save this template for future episodes so you don't have to fill out most of this information ever again.

Click OK. Your MP3 should export and be ready for uploading.

If you're not sure how you should fill out the metadata template, Daniel J. Lewis at The Audacity to Podcast has some suggestions:

Track:

your episode number. This will help sort episodes chronologically if a player doesn't read the published or modified dates.

Title:

your episode number and title, just like your blog post. For example, "AYJW027: Courageous (2011)."

Cover / picture / album art:

your podcast cover art...

Metadata is important when you want to list your podcast in a directory later on, so take the time to make sure you have as much information as possible.

Optional: Add podcast chapters

Podcast chapters are a great way to grant users more control over their listening experience. Your podcast might cover a wide variety of topics, for example, or you may want to give your listeners easy access to your various segments. It's not a requirement, and very few podcasts use the feature, but podcast chapters certainly help if you're trying to present a more polished piece of work.

Podcast chapters work like chapters in a book and let you "skip" segments of the episode like the introduction, or skip past segments you're uninterested in. You can even add images to your podcast sections, tying the picture in with the discussion or using it to present even more information about a topic. Unfortunately, adding them manually can be complicated and time-consuming. To spare you the trouble, use chapter-adding software:

Windows: The freeware app Chapter and Verse lets you add podcast chapters as well as other pieces of metadata like images and chapter notes.

The $24.45 app Podreel performs the same task but uses a cleaner interface. You can use the trial version, which lets you add up to 5 chapter markers to your podcast but adds a promotional message at the end of your file.

macOS: The Chapters on the Mac ($19.99) app makes adding chapters on the Mac pretty simple. You can save podcast presets if you're working on more than one podcast, adjust playback speed to help you locate your segment markers faster, and add images.

Pick a strong name and create a cover art image

When it comes to people finding your podcast, the name you choose for it is important. John Lee Dumas, the host of the Entrepreneur on Fire podcast, suggests you pick a name that communicates to your audience exactly what your podcast will be about.

If we return to the bluegrass and moonshine example, it could be something straightforward, like "Bluegrass n' Moonshine," or something less obvious, but still gets the point across, like "Sippin' and Singin': The Bluegrass Podcast." The title gives you an idea of the show's contents, but more importantly, your show would likely pop up in someone's search for podcasts about bluegrass music.

You'll also need an image for your podcast. This is the first thing people will see when they come across your show, so it should look good. An image is also required in order to list your podcast in directories like iTunes, Stitcher, and BluBrry, as well as podcast managers like Pocket Casts and DoggCatcher.

Cover art can be a photo or a piece of custom artwork, depending on how you want to represent your show. If the show is about you, you can even use a good photo of yourself. You can use a simple logo if you like, as long as it has something to do with what you talk about on the podcast. You want to make sure your image conveys what your show is really about as best it can.

No matter what you choose to use for cover art, make sure the show's title is on the image. If you're not comfortable making the image yourself, don't be afraid to hire a designer to do it for you from service-oriented websites like Fiverr or 99designs.

Podcast images need to be certain sizes as well, otherwise your artwork won't look as good when it's shrunken down. In fact, some directories won't even accept podcast feeds if your art isn't sized appropriately. Here's are the essentials you want to shoot for:

Image must be 1,400 x 1,400 pixels at minimum

Image must be in .jpg or .png format (.jpg preferred)

Image should look good-and readable-at 300 x 300 pixels

A good rule of thumb is to optimize your image for 150 x 150 pixels. If it looks good that small, you know you won't run into any problems. Daniel J. Lewis at The Audacity to Podcast also recommends that you treat certain types of images differently so they always look their best:

For photo/image-based artwork, acquire the largest version possible and design within its dimensions.

For color- or illustration-based artwork, design in a vector editor (like Adobe Illustrator) to make artwork that can scale to any size without losing quality.

You can do most of your image editing in Photoshop-or alternatives like GIMP and Pixelmator- with ease. When you have a good name and some decent art representing your show, you're just about ready to start recording.

Find a place to host your podcast

When you've finished tagging and exporting your podcast, it's time to find a place to host the MP3 file. Getting your podcast hosted is essential so you can start distributing your show to podcast directories and apps. Here are some of the best options for beginners:

SoundCloud: SoundCloud offers free podcast hosting (in addition to two competitive paid options for when you get a little more serious), and lets you distribute your podcast via RSS. Your podcasts will instantly publish to SoundCloud itself, which makes it really easy to share your podcast on social media, blogs, and other web sites.

If you're new to podcasting, or hosting media files online in general, try out the free services to see if you like the way they work. When you find one you like, it's worth paying for hosting if you're serious about continuing your podcast. Each host listed here will provide you with easy-to-follow instructions for how to upload your podcast audio file, but there are some basic steps to follow no matter which service you choose:

1. When you sign up for the service, use the name of your podcast (or the closest thing to it).

2. Upload a cover art image that is at least 1,400 x 1,400 pixels.

3. Fill out all sections of your profile, especially your show's description.

4. Upload your MP3 file. Most hosting services let you listen to your podcast right within the site, so give it a listen to make sure everything sounds good.

5. The file's metadata that you created before should fill in a lot of the necessary information. However, if something doesn't look right, now is the chance to make changes and fix it before you submit your RSS feed to any directories.

Once you're happy with how everything looks, you're ready to validate your feed and submit it to podcast directories.

Get on Apple Podcasts

There are a lot of podcast directories out there that you can submit to, including Stitcher, Blubrry, and Miro. Most podcasters, however, will tell you that if there's only one directory you should try to get listed in, it's Apple Podcasts, because it's the most popular and has the largest reach. Here's how to get listed in the Apple Podcast directory:

1. Check your title, author, description, and cover art that's associated with your podcast audio file on your hosting service. Apple Podcasts uses those fields for search. For more information and tips, check out the official Apple Podcast specs here.

2. Locate your podcast RSS feed URL and copy it.

3. Make sure your podcast RSS feed is valid. Some hosts have a built-in validator and will say if your feed is valid. Otherwise, paste your feed URL into Cast Feed Validator and see what podcasting apps and directories will see. Make changes at the hosting site as necessary.

4. Sign into Podcasts Connect with your Apple ID. To get started, you'll have to test and validate your podcast by adding your RSS feed (click the "+" sign to add and hit "Validate").

5. Preview your podcast and fix any errors.

6. Once your RSS feed has been validated, you can submit it for review to be published. Track your podcast's status on your Podcasts Connect dashboard.

That should do it! If you don't see anything pop up in Apple Podcasts right away, don't stress. It can take from 24 hours to two weeks before your podcast is added, as your podcast must first be reviewed by a team of people. Fortunately, the process of getting listed in other podcast directories isn't much different, so once you've got Apple Podcasts figured out, the sky's the limit.

Finally, as exciting as it is to get your podcast out there for everyone to hear, consider waiting to submit your first episode until you've already got a few of them in the can. Submitting only one episode can leave a lot to be desired for those that stumble upon your show. It's also less likely that you'll be featured or promoted as something new and noteworthy. So record three or four episodes before you start trying to grow your audience.

Launching a podcast can feel overwhelming if you're doing it by yourself, but you don't have to do it alone.

Since 2009, Buzzsprout has helped over 300,000 podcasters launch their podcast, and we've used everything we've learned to create this guide.

We broke this guide into 10 easy steps that give you everything you need to confidently create, launch, and grow a great podcast!

1. Develop a podcast concept

Choosing the right podcast concept for your new podcast is a big part of attracting the right listeners and staying committed to your show.

Follow these tips to narrow your niche and clarify your message.

Define your goals

Why do you want to start a podcast? It's important to know your why, even if it's to have fun with friends.

Some good reasons for starting a podcast are:

to generate leads for a business

be recognized as an industry leader

share an important message

Podcasting has a lot of benefits for brands and businesses, but it's important to be realistic about your goals.

While some podcasters shoot to fame, most have a small target audience that they build over time.

Pick a podcast theme or topic

You should feel excited to regularly discuss and research your podcast topic. The more you enjoy your topic, the less likely you'll experience podfade.

Once you have some ideas, do some market research to survey the competition in your genre.

Search your show's topic in Apple Podcasts. Listen to a few episodes and ask yourself what you could do differently.

There's always a unique angle or perspective to offer.

PRO TIP

To test out your own podcast concept, try to come up with ten episode ideas. If ideas don't come easily, you might want to change topics.

Make it specific

When you zero in on a niche, you attract a more specific and engaged audience. Podcasts that appeal to a broad audience can end up reaching fewer people.

People are also more likely to recommend a niche podcast to a friend than a generic one.

To make your podcast niche, focus on a sub-category or sub-demographic.

Drill down on what makes your podcast different. What unique perspective can you bring to your podcast's topic?

EXAMPLES OF FINDING A NICHE

Mental health → Mental health for lawyers

Drones → Drone racing

Nutrition → Nutrition for diabetics

Personality tests → Enneagram in the workplace

Business → How to start a nonprofit

Name your podcast

Your podcast name is a core part of your brand. It makes a strong first impression on listeners and sets the tone for your podcast.

Here's Apple's advice on how to name your podcast:

It's important to have a clear, concise name for your podcast. Make your title specific. A show titledOur Community Bulletin is too vague to attract many subscribers, no matter how compelling the content.Pay close attention to the title as Apple Podcasts uses this field for search.

Podcast names should have the following characteristics:

specific and succinct

available

memorable

similar to your business name or brand

Once you have a title in mind, run it through a podcast name checker to ensure the social media accounts and domains are available. You also don't want to use someone else's podcast name.

PRO TIP

Don't create podcast artwork, yet. You'll tweak your podcast concept before you release your episodes, and you don't want to have to redo your artwork.

2. Choose your podcast format

Your format should complement your podcast and feel sustainable.

Ask yourself what gives you energy. Do you love connecting with podcast guests, or do you feel your best going solo?

If you choose to have cohosts, try to keep your group small. Podcasting with more than two or three people makes scheduling a challenge.

Keep in mind that some shows require more production than others. For instance, fiction podcasts usually require more editing than interview podcasts.

These are some common podcast formats:

interview podcasts

cohosted podcasts

scripted non-fiction

news recap

educational podcasts

scripted fiction

Optimal podcast episode length

Make your episodes as long as they need to be and no longer.

Some podcasts are less than five minutes long, and others have episodes the length of a short audiobook. Here are the most common episode durations:

less than 10 minutes (14%)

10-20 minutes (15%)

20-40 minutes (31%)

40-60 minutes (22%)

Over 60 minutes (7%)

Podcast publishing schedule

Podcasting can be a full-time job or something you do on the side. You might decide to publish daily or every two years like Serial.

We recommend publishing once a week to develop a connection with listeners and create the habit of producing consistent content. These are the most common publishing frequencies:

0-2 days (7%)

3-7 days (36%)

8-14 days (39%)

15-29 days (17%)

Over 30 days (1%)

3. Setup podcast recording equipment

You don't have to buy expensive equipment to have good audio. Lots of popular podcasts have a basic setup.

Let's review what to look for in a podcast microphone. Then, we'll make our top podcast equipment recommendations.

Best podcast microphones

A good podcast mic enhances your audio quality and makes editing easier. Less background noise in your recording means less editing on the backend.

Here are a few to consider before getting your first podcast mic. Our top recommendation is the Samson Q2U which you can buy on Amazon for about $70.
Dynamic or condenser
Dynamic microphones work best for podcasting. They pick up lower frequencies and have less sensitivity. This means you'll have less background noise to edit out later.

Condenser mics have more sensitivity and pick up a wider range of frequencies. Sensitivity is good for recording music but isn't ideal for spoken word.
XLR or USB
Podcast mics have two types of connections: XLR or USB.

XLR mics give you maximum flexibility. There are a lot of XLR mics to choose from, and they usually have a long life. But XLR mics require an interface or mixer to hook up. This can get expensive for beginners.

USB microphones are less expensive and plug directly into your computer. You can also run it through an interface if you record with multiple people.

USB mics are affordable, practical, and sound great. This mic is the best option for the majority of podcasters.

TOP MIC RECOMMENDATIONS:

Example podcast setups
1. One-person setup ($70)2. Two-person setup ($400)3. Three-to-four-person setup ($960-$1,080)
At $200, the Zoom P4 is a cost-conscious replacement for the RODECaster Pro.
RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES:

4. Choose your podcast software

Once you've recorded your podcast, it's time to make edits. This is where you can structure your episode and optimize audio.

Fortunately, podcast editing software is often affordable. There are even some high-quality, free podcast editing tools.

Remote recording software

If you frequently do remote interviews, you'll need software specifically for long-distance recordings.
1. Riverside.fm

Cost: $9+ per month

Studio-quality recordings

Riverside allows you to record local audio and video, even if you don't have a great internet connection.

Users can take listener call-ins, livestream to social media, and edit videos within a browser. Files continuously upload to the cloud during recording, so you never lose your work.
2. SquadCast

Cost: $10+ per month

Studio-quality recordings

SquadCast makes it easy to set up a remote podcast interview and capture high-quality, lossless audio.

Squadcast's sound quality is much better because it records local WAV files to each person's computer. The initial setup is more complicated than Zooom, but this tutorial can help.
3. Zoom

Cost: Free - $15/month

Average recording quality

Most guests have experience with Zoom

Zoom is a go-to remote recording tool with average audio quality. And most people already know how to use it.

The app's default features compress audio, but you can improve the audio by using the best settings for Zoom recordings.

PRO TIP

Don't use Skype to record your podcast. Skype calls are typically much more compressed and of lower quality than the other options.

Editing software

1. GarageBand | Free

Difficulty: Beginner

Compatibility: Mac and iOS

GarageBand comes pre-installed on most Apple computers. If you don't have it, you can easily download it for free. We think GarageBand is a more intuitive interface than Audacity.

GarageBand is not available on Windows computers or Android phones. This tutorial can help you learn how to navigate the workspace.

2. Audacity | Free

Difficulty: Moderate

Compatibility: Mac, Windows, and Linux

Audacity is a free, open-source audio editor with pro-level features. This DAW is more than enough for most podcasters to produce great episodes.

Audacity has a steeper learning curve than GarageBand, but we have many Audacity tutorials to help you navigate the platform.

3. Descript | $10+ per month

Difficulty: Moderate

Compatibility: Mac and Windows

Descript is an all-in-one editing tool that lets you record, transcribe, mix, and edit your audio files like you would a text document.

Descript can automatically remove filler words and dub over a phrase with text-to-speech voice cloning.

This Descript tutorial shows how to use the video and screen recording feature and the in-browser editing suite.

4. Hindenburg Pro | $12 per month

Difficulty: Moderate

Compatibility: Mac and Windows

Hindenburg is a pro-level audio editing software designed specifically for podcasters and journalists.

The workspace features simple tools made for spoken word and automated options to streamline your workflow. This Hindenburg walkthrough gives you an idea of the workspace.

Alternatives:

Other podcast software

These tools aren't required but can improve your workflow and help optimize your content.

1. Otter.ai | $13 per month

Otter.ai is an automated transcription service. The tool is highly accurate and has a quick turn-around time.

Buzzsprout has an Otter.ai integration, so you can easily upload your Otter transcripts into your dashboard when they're ready.

This service is a great option if you speak English. If you speak another language or have a heavy accent, it won't render accurate results.

2. Magic Mastering | $6 per month

Magic Mastering automatically levels out and optimizes your audio file, like an Instagram filter for your podcast.

This tool helps simplify your workflow and guarantees your podcast meets industry best practices.

3. Audio Hijack | $64 one-time fee

Audio Hijack lets you record audio from any website or application and save it as an audio file.

Audio Hijack is an excellent option if you livestream with Twitch, StreamYard, or Facebook Live.

5. Record your first episode

Recording your episode requires a little preparation on the front end. Follow these three steps to set yourself up for success.

1. Write a podcast outline

Rambling is one of the most common mistakes new podcasters make, and the best way to fight this tendency is by writing a podcast script or outline.

Even taking a few minutes to jot down a list of bullet points will dramatically improve the flow of your episode.

If you're working with a cohost, share the outline with them so you can work on it together.

2. Pick a good place to record

If possible, record in a quiet room with lots of furniture, curtains, rugs, or carpet.

Noise bounces off of hard, flat surfaces, so eliminate these where you can. You can also sound treat your space with foam panels on the walls.

3. Set up your recording equipment and software

Connect your mic to your computer or audio recording device.

If you have a USB mic, plug the cable into your computer's USB port. If you have multiple hosts, run each mic through an audio interface and plug the interface into the computer.

If you have an XLR mic, connect its cable to a USB interface or an external audio recording device like the Podtrak P4.

Once plugged in, go to your audio editing software settings and select your audio input.

Microphone technique

Position your mouth 2" to 4" away from the microphone for the cleanest sound, but the optimal distance may vary based on your microphone.

If you notice too many plosives or harsh sibilance in your recordings, the simplest solution is to move off-axis from the microphone.

Set your mic up to the side, angled slightly toward your mouth. This adjustment prevents bursts of air from hitting the capsule and results in more natural audio.

Record test track

Try recording yourself talking at a consistent volume at several different positions. Then, listen to the recording to see which position gave you the best audio quality.

Don't worry about mistakes, stammers, or silence. You can make your edits in the next step.

6. Edit your audio

Podcast editing is primarily for cleaning up the audio and making basic changes to the structure. Try to keep the process simple. If you focus too much on production, you'll get overwhelmed.

Follow these four tips to streamline your editing workflow.

1. Create an engaging intro and outro

Your podcast intro tells your audience what you're about, and the value your podcast brings. When done well, your intro hooks listeners and convinces them to stick around for the whole episode.

You can get royalty-free music for no cost or purchase your show's intro music through one of these resources:

2. Edit for content, then distractions

Edit for content on your first pass and work on noise issues or other distractions on your second go-around.

If you focus on noise issues too early, you might polish sections you remove later on. Focus on getting the content right first, then double back to fix audio issues.

3. Fade between tracks to remove unwanted noise

When you cut sections of audio, you can sometimes get little pops or clicks in the finished product.

Use the fade tool at the beginning and end of clips if you run into those issues.

4. Create a punch-list

If you don't want to listen to an entire episode multiple times, create a list of audio distractions to check during your second pass.

This list can save time and ensure you don't miss anything.

Export audio file

After you edit your podcast, export it as a .WAV file. Buzzsprout will automatically add ID3 tags and convert your file to the correct file format.

If you use another podcast hosting platform like Anchor, you'll need to export your file in the format your hosting site recommends.

PRO TIP

Don't worry about ID3 tags. Buzzsprout will add the correct ID3 tags to your audio files automatically.

7. Create podcast artwork

Your podcast cover art is the first thing potential listeners see on Apple Podcasts or social media.

Good artwork implies quality content, and 62% of new listeners are more likely to listen to a podcast if they like its cover art.

Your podcast artwork should follow these technical specifications based on Apple's Podcast Artwork Requirements:

square Image (3000 x 3000 pixels)

resolution of 72 dpi

PNG or JPEG file types

colorspace RGB

5 Tips to make your podcast artwork stand out

Follow these five tips to make artwork that stands out in podcast directories and attracts new listeners.

1. Visually communicate the subject of the podcast. Potential listeners should know what your podcast is about just by looking at your artwork. Too much symbolism or ambiguity can turn people away.

2. Design for a variety of sizes. You will use your artwork across several mediums and platforms, so it must look good even at 55 x 55 pixels.

3. Don't use too many words or fonts. Don't use more than four words on your cover art, and make sure it's legible even in small sizes. You should also limit yourself to two complementary fonts.

4. Avoid podcast imagery. Just as movie covers don't have pictures of DVDs and TV sets, your podcast cover art shouldn't show podcasting equipment. You don't need to remind people that they're listening to a podcast!

5. Use consistent branding. Your podcast artwork is a part of your overall branding. Feel free to make subtle changes to artwork to fit various layouts and pages, but the imagery should stay consistent.

Tools to design your podcast artwork

Buzzsprout's Canva integration allows you to create your own podcast cover within your Buzzsprout account.

Choose from 250,000+ templates, edit the template to match your podcast brand, and click Send to Buzzsprout.

Using this tool automatically guarantees that your cover art meets spec requirements for every podcast app.

Adobe Creative Cloud Express (previously Adobe Spark) is a free service similar to Canva.

Create a free account and browse a catalog of templates, text styles, and color pallets to design your unique podcast logo. When you're done, download your file as a .jpg or .png.

Fiverr is a more affordable way to outsource your artwork. Prices vary based on the experience of the designer.

Make sure you pick a designer with examples of good artwork in their portfolio.

99Designs lets you run a contest where designers compete to create the best design. Designers submit their ideas based on your guidelines, and you pick your favorite!

You can use this link for $20 off any contest.

8. Set up podcast hosting

A podcast hosting service like Buzzsprout stores your audio files and distributes them to podcast platforms so listeners can find your show in directories like Apple Podcasts.

You can try Buzzsprout free for 90 days to see how you like it. Then, follow these steps to set up your account!

Fill out your podcast information

Go to Podcast Info inside Buzzsprout to fill in your podcast title, artwork, and description. This information helps you appear in search engine queries.

Your podcast description is where you tell listeners what they can expect from your content. It's also a good place to use keywords to draw people's attention.

If you have a business podcast, use related words and phrases so readers know your content is relevant to them.

Upload podcast artwork

Upload your podcast artwork into the designated field.

You can upload pre-made artwork or use click the Canva button to create your cover art within the dashboard.

Pick a podcast category

This is where you pick which category your podcast appears in Apple Podcasts (formerly iTunes).

Pick the category that best fits your podcast. You can always change this later.

You can also pick a subcategory to narrow your niche. It's better to be at the top of a subcategory than further down a general category.

Upload your first episode

Drag and drop your file into the dashboard and then schedule when you want it to go live.

Individual episodes have their own metadata, including an episode title, and can even have their own episode artwork.

Write podcast show notes

Your Episode Description is where you can write your show notes.

These notes show up with your episode in podcast apps and next to your episode on your podcast website. Quality show notes can help with your SEO and overall accessibility.

Try to include these things in your show notes:

helpful links

ancillary information

contact information

short summary of the episode

Most major apps support formatting within your episode notes, but not all do. Keep that in mind when you format your episode description text.

Bonus features in Buzzsprout

Now that you have the basics done, you can check out these extras to optimize your podcast.
Buzzsprout customizable website
Every podcast should have a website where your podcast lives. All Buzzsprout podcasters can create a free customizable website where you can keep your transcripts and episodes and have more information on your podcast and hosts.

You can set up this website within Buzzsprout and put it on your own domain. This site is primarily for podcast listening, transcripts, and show notes.
Transcripts
Transcripts help with your accessibility. Some people just prefer to read rather than listen to your content.

Within Buzzsprout, you can transcribe your episode using the Otter.ai integration or transcribe it yourself. Upload your transcript, and we'll distribute it to every directory that supports the feature.
Magic Mastering
It's challenging to fine-tune your audio. Magic Mastering levels out your audio, removes background noises, and makes voices sound full.

Once you have an account, you can try out this feature for free on one episode!
Visual Soundbites
Visual Soundbites are video clips of your audio animated with your podcast artwork image and waveform.

These soundbites are a great way to promote on social media and stand out in someone's feed. Posts with a visual component get an average of seven times the engagement.

9. Get listed in podcast directories

Podcast directories, like Apple Podcasts, are a centralized place for podcast listeners to find new shows.

Getting listed in the top podcast directories is a critical part of your podcast marketing strategy. Most of your new listeners will find your podcast through these directories.

Here are the steps for getting listed in the top three major podcast directories.

Submit podcast to Apple Podcasts

Apple Podcasts is the world's number one podcast directory, accounting for 37.4% of all podcast downloads.

Here's how to get into Apple Podcasts:

Log in to Buzzsprout

Go to the Directories tab

Click Get Listed under Apple Podcasts

Log in to Apple Podcasts Connect

Click Validate

Click Submit

It can take up to 24 hours for a podcast to be approved, as Apple does a human review of every new podcast. You'll receive an email once your show is approved.

Submit podcast to Spotify

Spotify launched its directory in 2018 and is now the second-largest podcast directory, with 26.8% of all podcast downloads.

Here's how to get listed on Spotify:

Login to Buzzsprout

Go to the Directories tab

Select Get Listed under Spotify

Select Submit Podcast to Spotify

Once you submit your podcast to Spotify, it should be listed almost immediately.

Submit podcast to Google Podcasts

Google Podcasts makes your podcast visible in Google web searches and on Android phones. This directory accounts for 2.4% of all podcast downloads and works differently from its competitors.

Rather than submitting your podcast to a directory, you just make sure Google can crawl your podcast website.

You can manually submit your podcast RSS feed to Google to help speed up the process.

All Buzzsprout websites are compatible with Google Podcasts. Most podcasters see their episodes show up in Google results in a couple of weeks.

If you use another podcast platform, check out this article on how to get a podcast into Google Podcasts.

Other podcast directories

Once you get listed in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts, your podcast is in front of 95%+ of all podcast listeners.

Submit to these smaller directories to further broaden your reach:

10. Launch and grow your show

When it's time to launch your podcast, you have two options. Choose whichever one feels best to you.

Strategy #1: The grand opening

A grand opening is when you build hype for your show before its launch. This is the approach used by most podcasters with an existing following.

Pick a launch date a few weeks away and reach out to people who might be interested.

You can pay for ads, submit to Apple Podcasts' New and Noteworthy, or reach out to publications.

Strategy #2: The soft open

A soft open is more discreet. With this method, you publish episodes as if people are listening, but wait to promote your episodes.

This strategy lets you get comfortable, iron out kinks, and overcome imposter syndrome.

When you see your podcast succeed in a lower-pressure environment, promoting it more confidently is easier.

Imposter syndrome

A lot of podcasters feel like a fraud when they first start. Maybe you dislike your voice or feel inadequate to speak on your topic.

It's easy to sideline yourself, but you have a valuable perspective to offer. Know that this is a normal phase of podcasting that gets easier.

7 Marketing tips to grow your listenership

It takes time to get the word out about your podcast. Follow these five steps to build a successful podcast marketing strategy.

1. Share your podcast with friends and family

Share your podcast with loved ones and ask for feedback. You can get their honest opinions and have them leave your first reviews on Apple Podcasts.

2. Create a Buzzsprout Ad

You can grow your listenership by running a podcast promo with Buzzsprout Ads. Podcast promos are more effective than traditional ads since they target the right audience for your show.

When you create a Buzzsprout podcast promo you:

target people who listen to podcasts

find listeners already interested in your podcast's topic

reach 5,000 listeners for just $100

When listeners click on your ad, they'll be taken to your podcast page, where they can subscribe to your show and get notified of new episodes.

3. Post episodes on social media

Sharing podcast content on social media helps you build a connection with your listeners that can be hard to achieve over just audio.

You can create Visual Soundbites for Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, boost tweets on Twitter, and post content on LinkedIn. If you do this right, you could pick up ten new listeners over your first few episodes.

If you're comfortable filming yourself, we've seen multiple podcasts go viral after posting original content to TikTok.

4. Join groups and forums

Providing value on forums like Reddit, Quora, or Facebook groups helps direct people to your podcast.

Respond to relevant, recent questions you can confidently answer. Include a link to one episode to direct your podcast traffic.

Aim to post one or two answers like this for each new episode.

5. Cross-promote with other creators

Cross-promotion lets you partner with other podcasters and promote each other's shows.

This marketing method lets you get your podcast in front of a new audience.

You can contact fellow creators on Podchaser or find hosts' contact information on their websites or social media.

6. Overcast Ads

The Overcast podcast app runs ads exclusively for podcasting. In our experience, we get 100 new subscribers each ad cycle. This is an excellent way to get your first 100 subscribers if you have the money.

7. Create a call to action

A call to action (CTA) is one thing you ask your listeners to do after listening to an episode, and it can be a powerful way to reach your podcasting goals. You can ask listeners to:

subscribe to your show and leave a review

download a lead magnet

sign up for your email newsletter, etc.

Just make sure to limit yourself to one CTA per episode so you don't overwhelm your listeners.

Free resources

If you encounter any issues during your launch or have questions while podcasting, consult these Buzzsprout resources.

Celebrate your launch!

If you've made it this far and are ready to publish your episode, we encourage you to submit it soon and celebrate your accomplishment.

Launching your first podcast is an achievement, so congratulations from the entire Buzzsprout team! We can't wait to see how far your podcast takes you.

Panda says: Excellent question! When you upload a PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file, similar colors in your image are combined. This technique is called "quantization". By reducing the number of colors, 24-bit PNG files can be converted to much smaller 8-bit indexed color images. All unnecessary metadata is stripped too. The result better PNG files with 100% support for transparency. Have your cake and eat it too!

In the above image the file size is reduced by more than 70%. I have excellent eyesight but can't spot the difference either! Use the optimized image to save bandwidth and loading time and your website visitors will thank you.

(Please be patient, video conversion may take a while, especially for long gifs with high frame rate)

Upload and convert video to GIF

With this online video converter you can upload your mp4, avi, WebM, flv, wmv and many other popular types of video and rich media files to turn them into high quality animated GIFs. Source video file can be uploaded from your computer or smartphone or fetched from another server by URL.

After upload, you can select the part of the video you want to cut, entering start and end time. If nothing is selected, the converter will make a GIF from first five seconds of the video clip. If you want to change the dimensions of the GIF or crop out only part of the video, you can use our resize and crop tools on the GIF after finishing the conversion.

We offer MP4 to GIF, WebM to GIF, AVI to GIF, MOV to GIF, FLV to GIF as well as 3GP, OGV, M4V, ASF and other format converters. It's possible to convert transparent video (with alpha channel) to transparent GIF as well. It can also convert some SWF (flash) files, but currently not all of them.

Tips

Frame rate (fps) is the amount of frames shown each second. Higher frame rate gives smoother and more cinematic animation thus increasing perceived quality, but greatly increases file size. Choose accordingly for your needs.

To keep the file size and processing time reasonable, we limit maximum length of the part you can select for conversion (duration) depending on selected frame rate. If you want to create longer GIFs, you have to select lower fps. Maximum length at 5 fps is 60 seconds, at 10 fps it's lowered to 30 seconds and so on.

Pause the video and click "Use current video position" to get an accurate start and end time for your GIF.

Use our crop, resize and optimization tools below the output image, to adjust the dimensions and file size.

If you are looking for a tool to perform conversion the other way around (GIF to Video), give our GIF to MP4 or GIF to WebM converter a try.
Or if you want to make a GIF from multiple images, use our GIF maker instead.
