Podcasting allows you to use any configuration of audio you desire. This is one great positive about podcasting. It also doesn’t matter what software you use to record your audio content. One choice for IBMs is Audacity. Audacity is free and allows you to blend an assortment of audio files.

An alternative program for Macintoshes is GarageBand which is also complimentary and helpful. It is important for you to save your audio content closest to its original format. Having a high quality audio allows you to go back and edit your content if needed, or use it again.

2. Convert the file to MP3 format

After you have recorded your audio content, the next step is saving it into MP3 format. For podcasting, the standard format is MP3. Most people only use MP3 formatting, so if you have an important reason for using another format, no one else will be able to use your podcast.

To get your desired results, it is paramount to use the minimum bit rate. Here are some recommended settings: For audio books, talk radio, interviews, sermons, etc., use 48-56k mono 64k Stereo - music, music and talk combos 128k Stereo - higher quality music

Make sure you use an .mp3 file extension when you save. Now you know how to make a podcast file ready to be published.
