It\u2019s also really easy to create and disseminate a podcast poorly, if you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>There are many ways to produce and release a podcast. \u00a0I\u2019ve been podcasting almost daily since 2006, have studied many different methods for all aspects of it, I\u2019ve worked as a paid consultant helping many people set up websites for podcasts and get set up for producing good audio at home. \u00a0I\u2019ve culled that experience down to a solid step-by-step process and made this video. \u00a0It\u2019s the first video of at least two I\u2019ll do on podcasting.<\/p>\n<p>I was going to write a book on the subject. \u00a0But after thinking long and hard, I decided that a couple of well-produced videos would show it better. \u00a0You can view it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VUzKZ_iI0qY\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This first video is 49 minutes long and covers setting up a website specifically for podcasting, including configuring the PodPress plugin. \u00a0Also covered is encoding high-quality low-size MP3, tagging those MP3s correctly, and submitting your show to the three most important podcast directories (iTunes, Stitcher and TuneIn).<\/p>\n<p>I made this video first before making one about recording, because I\u2019m assuming most Talkers readers are already producing some sort of audio on a regular basis. But my next video will be on recording and editing quality audio.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><i>Michael W.
