FAQs
What is a podcast?
A podcast is recorded audio distributed over the internet through an RSS feed. Podcasts can take many forms: from scripted dramas to conversations to narrative journalism.
Why should I start a podcast?
Podcasting is growing at a remarkable pace. Over the last five years, the percentage of Americans who listen to podcasts every week has more than doubled, now amounting to roughly 28% of the population. Podcast advertising is flourishing, and advertisers are discovering that ads read by podcast hosts — familiar voices belonging to speakers whom audiences have come to trust — pack a punch.
What equipment do I need to start a podcast?
A quality podcast will mean quality equipment. Of course, thanks to platforms like Anchor and Podcastle, you can record a podcast with nothing more than your phone and a lavalier microphone off Amazon. But if you want to grow your podcast into a revenue-generating tool, you might need to invest in more professional gear.
How do I choose a topic for my podcast?
A good podcast needs a concept or a topic. The better defined your topic, the more likely you will find your audience (and vice versa). “History,” for example, doesn’t tell a potential listener enough about what they’re getting into. “The History of Bread” gives them enough to decide if they want to listen (or not).
How long should my podcast episodes be?
The length of your episodes can vary depending on your topic and format. Some podcasts are just a few minutes long, while others can last for over an hour. It’s important to choose a length that suits your content and keeps your audience engaged.
How often should I release new episodes?
The frequency of episode releases can also vary widely. Some podcasts release new episodes daily, while others do so weekly, bi-weekly, or even monthly. Consistency is key, so choose a schedule that you can stick to.
How do I monetize my podcast?
There are several ways to monetize a podcast, including sponsorships, donations, selling products or services, and more. It’s important to choose a monetization strategy that aligns with your content and audience.
