Podcasting - How to Create a Podcast Quickly and Easily
With this one simple article I’m going to show you how to quickly put together your own podcast. I won’t be able to go into detail on everything, but I’ll definitely get you started on the right track. And just so we start off right, I want to give you my definition.
Why? Because I’ve seen a lot of people put an MP3 file on their web site and proudly proclaim, “I have a podcast!”
Um, no. An audio file people can download is not a podcast. Even several audio files people can download isn’t necessarily a podcast.
Here’s my definition: A series of audio or video files that can be subscribed to and automatically downloaded as new episodes are released.
Notice I didn’t say anything about whether the files are spoken word or music, whether they’re amateur-hour or professional sounding, or even whether they are free or for pay. To be called a podcast you just need a series of audio or video files (how long that series lasts is up to you) that can be subscribed to so programs like iTunes can automatically download them when new episodes are available.
An episode can be a minute in length, or it can be an hour or more in length. If you’re just getting started, I suggest going with a shorter length because doing a podcast requires a commitment and while you’re raring to go right now with a marathon session, what about next week or the week after? Especially when some unexpected “life situation” pops up?
You can always go from a long podcast to a short one, or vice versa, but in general, the more consistent you are, the more comfortable your audience will be. And that holds true for more than just the length of each episode. There are some “stream of consciousness” podcasts that are good, but in general, a show that gives the audience great content in a format they recognize will do better than one that’s all over the road every time.
2. A Place to Host Your File
You have a few options for hosting your file. My favorite is to use Audio Acrobat. It’s a program that not only allows me to host my files but also record, organize, syndicate and publish them.
Another option is to host your files on your hosting account. This can get very expensive if your program gets popular (and this is what you want!) so it’s not usually a good option for anyone serious about podcasting.
Good quality podcasting means that the audio quality ought to be clear with well pronounced sound. Moreover, if the file is in video formats then the picture quality must be very fine. Podcasting is generally used to relieve stress and for the purpose of relaxation. Another interesting use of podcasting is about commercial acceptance of promotional campaigns in between the broadcasting of files.
Conclusively, it can be simply said that podcasting is a pretty smart technological innovation that is fast becoming popular among the mass. Each day more and more people are getting to know what is podcasting and its benefits
