How To Podcast

A podcast is a collection of digital media files which is distributed over the Internet, often using syndication feeds, for playback on portable media players and personal computers.

What you’ll need:

  • Microphone
  • Production Software
  • Computer

Things to think about:

  • What subjects and content will you cover?
  • What will you name the podcast?
  • How often will the episodes come out?
  • If you make a podcast with a partner or group, who will be responsible for writing, editing, and promoting?

Tips:

  • Make an outline.
  • Check out the Teen Podcasters Network (http://www.teenpodcasters.com) for an idea of what’s out there.
  • Ready to record? Keep volume levels consistent. Do a test recording at the beginning of each session.
  • Set up a feed of your podcast. When the podcast is ready for publication then it's time to examine options for hosting the podcast on the web. One of the best free hosting options with unlimited storage and streaming is the Internet Archive, located at http://archive.org.
  • Submit the feed to podcast directories and networks such as I-Tunes, Odeo, and the Podcast Pickle.
  • If you are old enough, create a presence on MySpace or Facebook; both have podcasting applications.
