Good planning will save you time and will likely increase the quality of your recordings. You will now create a list of general steps that will guide you to record your sample.

Ask yourself the following questions:

• What is your podcast about? what are the main ideas?

• Who is your audience?

• What do you need to record in terms of tools and space?

• Do you have a good understanding of the audio set-up, recording, editing, and exporting?

• Who can support you to successfully record and plan?

Reflect, write down your answers, and arrange them in steps. These should include pre-, during, and post-recording steps.
