Podcast Creation for Beginners

Podcast Creation for Beginners

“We have reached the end of this Domestika course. I hope you liked it and that you have learned what it takes to start your podcast. Now I encourage you to carry out your final project by making a podcast from scratch. Next, I am going to review the different phases that we have followed to develop the final project: After several lessons in which we have learned all the theory about podcasts and everything necessary to create our own, it is time to get down to work. Planning In our final project I have met with Cristina, with whom, to begin with, I have talked about the choice of the theme of her podcast. Cristina is a great fan of rock music, and has decided to make a podcast on this matter. Once the theme has been selected, we have decided how often it will publish. In addition, I have advised him that it would be interesting to give life to his feed before broadcasting the first chapter, so he has created a kind of trailer in order to generate interest among the audience, and, incidentally, explain what things he is going to do in your podcast. I have also recommended that you create your social networks, and you have created an account on both Twitter and Instagram, @conunparderock . In this way, you will generate interest among your followers and will be recognized as someone who is passionate about these topics.

Realization Afterwards, we started to record, we prepared the mixer and the microphone, and we configured everything so that Cristina could start speaking. After this I have made an example of basic audio editing, with Adobe Audition, that Cristina will carry out for the premiere of her first podcast. Publication Finally, and waiting for your frequent publication to begin, I have recommended several pages that will serve to host your podcast and distribute it, in order to reach as many people as possible. Now it's your turn, share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". As I have done up here, remember to share both the final result of your podcast and the steps that have led you to it; the process of choosing the theme, the script, the materials you have used in the recording, the editing, the platform you have chosen to publish it ... tell me all the details! Remember that podcasting is a long-distance race, don't be in a rush to get a relevant audience. Consistency is very important. Try to stay up to date with all the podcasting news, the medium evolves very fast and it is very important to know all the movements. You should try to take care of the sound as much as possible. Whenever you can, improve your equipment and become professional. Do not forget that your message has to reach the listener as clearly as possible, learn about speech and diction. When choosing the theme of your final project, I recommend that you talk about what you are most passionate about. The podcast is usually very personal, due to the relationship that is created with the listener. Talking about a subject that you are passionate about will work in your favor, not only because of the ease you will have when preparing the programs, but because that passion will be transmitted when you talk about it. Now we are nearing the end of this course, thank you very much for being on the other side, I hope I have been able to explain all the details and characteristics of this means of communication, podcasting. If you have any questions, you can contact me in the forum by leaving your questions. I will try to answer as quickly as possible, but I ask for your patience if you see that I am slow, the podcaster work is 24/7! I would also like to encourage you to give feedback on colleagues' projects. Having different opinions will go a long way toward improving our podcasts. Thank you very much, and welcome to the world of podcasting! ”
