Let’s start with the basics: Recording equipment
Your mic matters! Choosing the right one, along with setting up a quiet space and understanding some basic recording techniques, will make a big difference in your audio quality.
Now, let’s talk about RSS feeds: What are they and why do they matter?
Before we get into how to set one up, let’s break it down: RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It’s how your podcast reaches platforms like Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
Subscribing to an RSS feed is like following a show that automatically updates every time there’s new content.

Time to define your show’s style
What kind of podcast do you want to make? Is it going to be interview-based, a narrative story, or just you and a mic? There’s no wrong answer, just make it yours.
Even a loose script can help you stay on track and feel more confident when recording.
Record, edit, repeat
Once your plan is in place, it's time to record and polish your audio. Good editing makes a huge difference in how your message is received, and even beginners can do it with the right tools.
Here are a couple of articles that will help you along the way:
Choose the right file format
Exporting your audio in the correct format is key for compatibility across platforms. MP3 is the go-to, but it's helpful to know when WAV or AAC might come in handy too.
Don’t forget a Trailer!
A trailer is a perfect way to introduce your podcast to new listeners. Keep it short, snappy, and informative. It’s your audio elevator pitch.
