You might choose to have editors on your team or assign editing duties to teammates who have pitched in in other ways.īefore you think too much about your podcast, you're going to want to think about how, exactly, you'll record the sounds you need. After you record the conversations or interviews, your team will want to make sure you talk about what you want to cut out and keep in - that's all part of the editing process. Depending on the size of your class or group, some team members may work as researchers or spend time organizing interviews. (Sometimes, producers or hosts pitch in to help write for podcasts.) Hosts also "voice" the podcast by acting as the narrator and conducting interviews with subjects. You'll also need writers to write out questions for interviews or the script. Often, producers are in charge of the sound: They record the sound and edit it to put the podcast together. The role of producers frequently varies between podcasts and radio shows. There isn't a set number of people needed to create a podcast, but it helps to have a team of people who work in different roles. How many people do we need, and what roles are involved? We're writing this guide with the idea that you can make a podcast with two tools: a smartphone and a computer. Nope! There are ways to make a podcast without buying expensive microphones and recorders. We're challenging you to work with sounds - interviews, narration and recorded sounds from the world around you.ĭon't I need fancy equipment to make a podcast? And there's Planet Money, a podcast all about money and life. NPR's Hidden Brain is about science and human behavior.
Many are educational: They teach listeners about a specific topic. Some feature people having conversations. Up First comes out every morning, and the hosts talk about the news and feature stories from guests reporting on the news. Some podcasts, like NPR's Up First, are about news. Others, like Kind World, a podcast from WBUR, are less than 10 minutes. Some podcasts, like This American Life, are long - sometimes an hour or more. That's good news for you, because it means that you have lots of room to be creative and make something you're excited about.
Before we get started, we know you might have a few questions.
