[sc name="affiliate disclosure"]Like many entrepreneurs and small businesses this year, I have decided to start a podcast. I personally love Podcasts and talk radio in general. Personally, I never would have imagined starting a Podcast myself. But the beauty of the technology age that we are living in today means a lot more opportunity to do more creative things. Below I am going to discuss the reason why I'm starting a podcast and why it might be great for your business as well.

The Reason Why I'm Starting a Podcast
For starting the Podcast I choose to invest into the Blue Yeti microphone. Initially I was using my cell phone as a microphone but the quality to me just wasn't good.
Learn New Skills
One reason I started blogging was to become better at writing. Similar to blogging, I think starting a podcast can help in developing communication skills. I think there is also an opportunity to meet and interview other creatives and small businesses in the community.
More Ways to Consume Content
Since I started creating content I have found that people consume content in different ways. I tend to enjoy reading something that interests me whereas others may enjoy watching or listening to that same piece of content.
Podcast Platforms
While developing a Podcast, I have begun to learn about the mediums in which these are hosted. Almost similar to how hosting services for websites, there are dedicated hosting plaftforms for Podcasts. Below are a few podcast hosts that I have come across:
Recording Software
Anchor.fm appears to be one of the best out of the box and simple recording software for Podcasts. However, I have heard great things about the following platforms used for recording audio:
Audacity
Garage Band
Summary: The Reason Why I'm Starting a Podcast
Going forward, I see starting a podcast as a prelude to other mediums such as vlogging or public speaking. Right now, I have begun to convert many of my old blog posts into Podcast versions. I'm still getting the main kinks out of the podcast such as audio and platform choice, but I will update this website with the links to the Podcast as soon as it's finished.Thank you for visiting this blog post.
