How to Podcast

This website is about learning to podcast without spending a lot of money. The site author is Jason Van Orden who is also the author of Promoting Your Podcast. The site gives some quick simple tips on making a podcast or what the process is. He tells you how to reduce background noise, good places to record your podcast, and just tricks to recording a podcast. Like one tip that was interesting was recording in a closet so that there isn’t a lot of background noise and the clothes would dampen the sound to get a studio effect. He let the reader know of certain noises that we wouldn’t normally think of but definitely get picked up by the mic, like computers, fans or air conditioning, a room that echoes, outside noise, and my favorite, the squeaky chair. Also talks about what devices we could use to record our podcast.

To me this all seemed like common sense. Obviously make sure you are in a quiet place, if not, then speak up close to the mic but not too close. Van Orden tells us when to press the recording button, where to press it, and what device we could use. I think it would have been nice if he said something about the after recording the podcast and how you can successfully put it onto your computer.
