Record a Podcast

Make a Podcast:

• Record a five-minute discussion (ideally with a partner)

  • Audio recording tools: handheld digital audio recorder; GarageBand (Great Tutorial--Thanks to Kayla!) or Audacity on a laptop PC; Skype recorder; iPhone or Android audio recording app (Hi-Q MP3 Voice Recorder on Android or Voice Memo App on iOS); Zencastr on a laptop PC

• Edit audio using Audacity or other audio editing tool of your choice to include intro and closing music from a Creative Commons source (Jamendo, CCMixter, or other)

• Need music? Check out Internet Archive (Audio) or Artlist.io

• Export edited audio as Ogg Vorbis file

• [Optional]: Install LAME MP3 Encoder and export audio as MP3 file

• Upload audio to an online audio storage service (archive.org or SoundCloud)

• Write RSS feed for your podcast:

  • iTunes Podcast XML Generator
    

Alternative:

• Complete the same as above, but record, edit, and publish your podcast entirely in a Web browser

• Recording tool: Zencastr

• Editing tool: Bear Audio Editor

• Publishing tool: Internet Archive
  

Alternative:

• Instead, livestream and record a video podcast of discussion of your project pitch on YouTube or other service

• Edit your video to include a title card, credits, and music
