ASK SARAH #10: Starting A Podcast? Tools, Structure, Editing + More

by Aug 17, 2020Ask Sarah, Blog, Podcast

Are you curious about starting a podcast, or in the process of starting one?

I get dozens of questions about starting a podcast, so grab your headphones and listen to this episode. Here’s what I cover in this episode of Ask Sarah:

TOOLS:

What tools do I use and what equipment do I love? Are there tutorials that help? What platform should I use to do recording?

CONTENT DESIGN:

I break down all the pieces of a show, and how I learned the sequence, and how to write it all down for notes and editing.

EDITING:

Do you want to do self-editing or outsource it? How much does it cost? Who can you use?

AUDIO + VOICE TRAINING:

How do you get better at recording and creating good-sounding audio? Here’s what I do to set up a great audio environment and how to record in “one take” as much as possible.
