It’s All Journalism: Learn How To Podcast In 5 Easy Steps

It’s All Journalism is a weekly conversation about the changing state of the media and the future of journalism.



This bonus podcast features audio from my Friday, July 17, presentation on podcasting at the 2015 AAN annual convention in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Here are the updated pdfs from my presentation.

I tried to give a down and dirty, quick and easy guide to launching a podcast, including some of the technology you need to master.

There are lots of different ways to produce a podcast and there are lots of questions to think about beyond recording and posting audio, like:It’s All Journalism Producer Michael O’Connell at the Great Salt Lake.

  • Who is your audience?
  • What type of content would they be interested in listening to?
  • How much time are you willing to commit to a regular podcast?
  • How much money are you willing to spend?

This isn’t the first time our podcast has talked about podcasting. Here are a couple of related podcasts that touch on this subject:

I also appeared on the JellyVision Show recently talking about podcasting:

Podcasting Will Change Your Life: Ep. 184 with Michael O’Connell of It’s All Journalism Podcast

My goal was to demonstrate that podcasting is really not that difficult to do, once you break down the basics. It’s also an incredibly flexible platform that allows for a great deal of freedom of expression and creativity.

Let us know if you launch a podcast.
