1. What is a podcast and what is it for?

In very simple words, a podcast is an audio or video show that you can download from the Internet to listen to whenever you want.

It’s like a radio show, only on the radio you have to be attentive to the time it is broadcast (or you won’t be able to listen to it), and the podcast is a show of this type but you can download and listen to it at any time.

Believe it or not, podcasts were invented 14 years ago, so it’s time you knew exactly what it is and how it works.

To begin with, you should know that although podcasts can be made in video or audio, most of them are voice recordings.

So anyone who has a good idea, a computer and a microphone can create a podcast.

At first they were shows created only by amateurs, but big companies have already joined this trend by creating professional shows.

The creators of a podcast produce a show telling a story or commenting on a subject.

It is also fashionable to record radio shows and publish them as a podcast, so anyone can listen to them, at any time and anywhere in the world.

When the person or company has finished recording the Podcast, it is uploaded to an Internet page that can be a musical platform, a special community for Podcast or an individual web page specially designed for that show.

After it has been uploaded to the web, it is now within everyone’s reach, anyone with a computer, tablet or smartphone can download it and listen to it whenever they want, as many times as they want.

Some creators have started charging subscriptions to download their files, but the general rule around the world is that they are free.

You see that it is very easy to understand what a Podcast is and how it works, but don’t underestimate it, it goes beyond simple audio and video files.

For example, in Spain alone, radio podcasts have more than 350,000 listeners.

It’s not just a way to share content and entertain yourself, Podcasts can be very useful educational resources for everyone.

It also helps radio and television personalities gain a reputation and become known.

When it comes to business, it’s the ideal way to share news with customers, advertise and find new customers.

It is also important to note that a Podcast may have one or more people as members.

A Podcast can be a single person reading a monologue, two people conducting an interview, or even several people taking part in a discussion.

Of course, you set the limit, depending on what you want to convey and the way you want to convey it.

Depending on the number of people, perhaps the tools or steps for making your Podcast may vary a little, such as the equipment you are going to use, some programs, or accessories.

2. What do you need to make a podcast?

You can start your Podcast with a creative idea and equipment that you probably have at home, such as a computer with Internet access, a microphone and headphones. You’ll also need a program to record and edit.

Let’s start with what’s needed for the birth of a Podcast, a novel, creative and fun idea that can catch the interest and attention of the public.

Below, in “How a Podcast is Made” I teach you how to think about and choose a theme for your show.

Then, to put you into action, there are teams that are totally necessary to record your Podcast and others that you won’t need from the beginning, but if you can get them, they will help you to have a better result.

The basic thing is to have a computer with an Internet connection, as you will insert everything else into the computer.

It is not necessary that you run to buy a computer of last generation, with the one that you have at home will be enough to begin, and you can go improving it according to the necessities that you have when you begin to record.

If it’s a laptop, just make sure it has the necessary connections to adapt the other computers, if it doesn’t, you can easily solve it with an adapter.

The Internet connection will be especially important when uploading your file to the web.
