Since I have a topic for my podcast I know that the real work now begins. When researching for creative ways to make a podcast I came across ALOT of sources saying in and around the same thing; you're gonna need a mic, you're gonna have to be up-to-date with your posts to stay relevant, and all that good stuff. But while researching I found that the difficult part of it all was finding sources that were creditable and just overall legit. So through my findings I found these three sites that answered a lot of my questions, and also gave me insight to look deeper within my podcast theme (SPARK) and be creative.
1. Windows: Create you own podcast
I never knew the Windows site helped people make podcasts and give them helpful advice, I just thought they were merely there for tech support, and debuting new tech; but to my surprise they actually have a lot of helpful tips to help the public make a successful podcast. Aside from the normal stuff like materials you would need to actually produce a podcast, they tell you that marketing your podcast to others is a helpful way to promote your show and get others involved and tune in. They also tell you to do research on topics that are of interest to you, and others, and stress the need to edit your recorded work before putting it out to the public.
2. kdmc Berkley-Berkley Graduate School of Journalism: Podcast
I knew I could trust this site off the bat because this podcast tutorial was written by Berkley Journalism students who are going through, or have already gone through, the same process as we all are. the helpful tips that the students had to offer were how to mix tracks with your podcast, so mixing music with your recorded audio and other cool sound effects. They also gave a step by step instruction how to carefully edit your podcasts before publishing and how to adjust sound levels for the audio so the audio isn't over bearing or pitchy.
3. Make Use Of: How to make a podcast on the go with your mobile phone
This website is dedicated to helping other use their tech devices and give helpful tips to improve those devices. I found this post special because it aids you in how to make a podcast with your phone! The site also tell you good apps that you could download to assist in producing a great podcast. I liked this post a lot because it gives a different way on how to make a podcast (with your phone) which I appreciate because I find that it would be a lot easier to record with your hand held device.
Taking in all my resources tips and advice I think I'm going to go in the direction of recording my podcast with my phone. It seems a lot less difficult to produce and less costly, I would rather purchase an app for $1.99 then go out and buy a microphone for $19.99.
