How to Record a Podcast: a blog about the process of recording your own podcast.
I was reading the other day about how the actor who provided the voice for Sadie Adler in Red Dead Redemption 2 recorded her dialogue. The developers at Rockstar Games built a special recording device that would allow her to act out her character’s lines as if she were actually in the game, with real-time feedback on how her character would react. This is an interesting glimpse into how a video game is made, but what really caught my attention was the description of how she recorded her lines:
Sadie had to record each line multiple times, in various tones and pitches, so that the game’s artificial intelligence could learn from them and respond appropriately when, say, she was happy or angry.

How to Record a Podcast
I was recently asked how to record a podcast. My experience in recording podcasts is limited to my own, so I thought I would write a blog about the process of recording your own podcast.
I’m hoping that this blog will help people who are thinking about starting their first podcast or those who have started a podcast and want to see what others have to say about it.
This is not a guide on how to start a podcast. It is just my thoughts on the subject. The first thing you need to do is figure out what you want the show to sound like. You need to be clear on this before you begin recording.
The second thing you need to do is decide what format you want the show in. There are many different formats available, but they all have their pros and cons. Some formats allow more freedom than others, while some formats can be easier or harder to edit.
The third thing you need to do is find out where you can get your show hosted. There are many different hosting services out there, but they all have their pros and cons as well.
The fourth thing you need to do is figure out how much money you can afford to invest in the show. This may seem like an odd question, but it’s actually very
When I started my podcast I was new to the world of audio. I had no experience recording, editing, or even listening to podcasts, but that didn’t stop me from making one. With a little research and practice, I was able to get set up and create an episode in less than a week.
Many people out there are interested in starting a podcast but don’t know where to start. This blog is intended to help you get set up and record your first episode with minimal time spent researching.

How to Record a Podcast
We live in the golden age of podcasts. There are more podcasts than ever before, with a variety of great options available for free. If you want to listen to stories about movie stars, there’s a podcast for that. If you want to listen to stories about true crime, there’s a podcast for that too. There are even podcasts about podcasting. And there are now more ways than ever to get your own podcast up and running, from cheap DIY setups to full-fledged professional studios. Here at WIRED, we’re all about doing it yourself, so we got the gear, set up the microphones, and recorded our own podcast using only what you can buy at an electronics store.
The Basics
Before you start recording, you need to plan out what you’re going to do on your podcast. You don’t need much: Even just two people talking is enough for a good podcast (it worked for Ira Glass). When you choose your topic, it should be something that people will be interested in hearing more about, but it also needs to be something that you can discuss at length every week or two without getting bored (so don’t pick something like your love of sandwiches). After choosing your topic and deciding how
I’m recording a podcast and writing about the experience so that you can feel like you’re doing it too!
It’s called How to Record a Podcast and it’s available on iTunes, Google Play Music, Overcast, and other podcast apps. I hope you’ll listen!
Welcome to my blog, which is about recording and producing podcasts. I am a podcast producer and editors, who also has a lot of experience with both audio engineering – in the studio and live – as well as radio journalism.
I have created three podcasts over the last four years: “Doing Something”, which was nominated for an award at the British Podcast Awards, “The History of Rome” which has been downloaded over 100 million times and “Doing a Podcast” which shows people how to make their own podcast.
In this blog I will share all my tips, tricks, hacks and advice that I’ve learned while making those shows.
