Podcasting is one of the latest technological Internet trends. Due to the fact that making a podcast is based on RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and its simplicity in creation, it is likely that this technology will be well-used.

Use the following guide to help you create your own podcast by taking your audio file and converting it into an MP3:

1. Generate the content you desire to use for your audio

You may want to use any of the following to make your recording: music, audio books, lectures, sermons, interviews, radio-type shows, etc.

One of the great things about podcasting is that you don't need to have a specific format or formula for the type of audio you want. It also doesn't matter what software you use to record your audio content. However, a great program to use for IBMs is called Audacity. It is a free, open-source and lets you mix a variety of audio files.

For Macintosh, GarageBand is a great option because it too is free and useful. It is important for you to save your audio content closest to its original format. By doing this, you can retrace your steps to edit or reuse it.

2. Adapt your file to MP3 format

After you have recorded your audio content, the next step is saving it into MP3 format. The MP3 format is the norm for podcasting. 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. Below are some suggested settings:

For audio books, talk radio, interviews, sermons, etc., use 48-56k mono
For music, music and talk combos, use 64k stereo
For higher quality music, use 128K stereo

Make sure you use an .mp3 file extension when you save. Now you have the knowledge on how to make a podcast that is ready for publishing.
