Equipment
The bare minimum you need to record a podcast is a computer with a USB microphone and access to the internet. As a general rule, though, the more limited and lower cost your setup and equipment, the more limited the sound quality of your show will be.
Recording & Editing Software
When you plug your USB microphone into your computer, you will need some software to actually record and edit the audio. The good news is that there's a few options for this, and one of them doesn't cost you anything
Scripting and talking
Once you’re set up with a microphone and your editing software you are ready to hit ‘Record’ – but what will you say? That’s where scripting comes in.
Music
There’s no rule to say your podcast must have music, but many choose to add some at the beginning and end to add that extra layer of professionalism.
