Podcasting is a great way to create content and stay connected with people at the same time! It is certainly possible to create podcasts at the moment, but you might have to think differently about how you record, with participants taking part remotely.
There are a number of different ways to record your podcast remotely and the option that’s right for you will depend on what technology you have access to and how experienced the people on your podcast are with recording audio.
