Podcasting Guide

Podcasting is a recorded audio program on any topic you wish that can be shared widely online to a variety of audiences. It includes the creation of a storyline or concept, audio recording of one or more speakers, editing, distribution, and advertising.

This guide was created to help the beginning podcaster learn the basics of the art including information on storytelling, software and equipment, editing, accessibility, and promotion. If you have any questions, comments, or feedback, please reach out at breakerspace@umn.edu.
