This week on Alli's Tech Talk we will be exploring the world of podcasts.

 

When I was starting my research process on podcasts I found this video on Youtube which is a tutorial about how to make a podcast using the program Audacity.

This video was a very helpful if you are a beginner to the audacity program because it gives examples of how to edit the sound, and post to multiple online databases.

 

Another website tutorial about how to successfully accomplish making a podcast is

http://www.how-to-podcast-tutorial.com/00-podcast-tutorial-four-ps.htm. This webpage breaks the podcast tutorial into four basic steps that will allow for an optimized podcast. These four steps are:

1. Plan
2. Produce
3. Publish
4. Promote

During the planning stage of the podcast the website describes figuring out the actual message you want to share before you even get started. It also delves into the structure of the podcast in timing and formatting so that each podcast is similar for your listeners. This webpage literally takes you through each step of creating a podcast so by the time you have hit the last page you could have a fully functioning podcast.

Many times when you want to add sound effects to podcasts it is difficult to find useful information. This website provides a variety of sound effects that can be used for podcasts.
