So you want to start a podcast...

Hi!

I’ve seen a lot of kids start Minecraft podcasts recently, and I wanted to talk about how to start a podcast, and what you need to do so.

For one thing, make sure your parents know you’re making a podcast, because they might think of something that you didn’t. You should also let them listen to an episode before you publish it, for the same reason.

Now, to create a podcast, you need to go to anchor.fm. Click the get started button, and follow the steps to create your podcast. You can also do this from the anchor app, which has similar instructions.


Technically, that’s it! You can record episodes from the new episodes button, but before you do so, there’s some things you might want to do ahead of time.

  1. Find a good/decent microphone to record with.

  2. Let everyone in your house know that you are going to record, so that they don’t interrupt you.

  3. Get a good recording studio. This could be your room, a walk-in closet, or even outside, if it’s not too noisy.

  4. Make sure everything else you need to record is with you.

And that’s it! You can record away! Remember that you can have multiple segments, so if you need to take a break, click the red X to end that segment. Once your ready to continue, just start recording again (this time just adding a segment, instead of creating a new episode.)

And remember: Anything (and I mean ANYTHING) you put out there, is on the internet to keep forever. So always make sure you’re not publishing anything that you wouldn’t want everyone to know.

Happy podcasting!
