Episode 20: How do you actually create a podcast?

Episode Notes Welcome to episode 20, where I talk about some tips to consider when creating a podcast. In an effort to show that you don't need much tech, I've used the back pack studio app on iOS to record and upload my episode to the podcast host. I also made no edits, so this episode is longer and in some instances while hopefully informative, may not be as clean as other episodes which is intentional in this instance. That said, everything is done from my phone in episode 20. I mention this not to be negative about back pack studio as it's a fantastic app for mobile podcasting, I'm just outlining different use cases. For audio editing I use reaper which is available for Mac and Windows. I'm usually using a Samson q 2 u mic with a zoom H6E recorder, after an initial edit my audio is uploaded to auphonic for noise reduction. Tune Pocket is where I get my music and sounds, and Pine Cast host and distribute my podcast to you.
