So basically “What is Podcast and What you consider by the name “Podcasting”?
A podcast is an episode or series of digital audio files that a user can listen online or offline, you can consider it as making a YouTube Video without showing anything but just your Voice.
It’s like telling stories like our Grandma or Mother to use to tell us at Bedtime, like that if you are creative enough to tell some interesting stories in voice format or any information which people like to listen over their devices while driving, eating, break time, sleep time, etc. then (You can be a PODCASTER).
How to Start Podcast for Free Video Guide in Steps:
Podcasting is one of the easiest things to start and to start a podcast you don’t need any professional setup or technical knowledge, all you need is a space where you can record your Voice with least disturbance (means try there’s no disturbance & you can feel what you telling in a flow without breaks or cuts), this helps a Podcast to sound original.

What do you need to Start Free Podcast (Guide)?
You almost need nothing as its kinda Free, all you need is just your Smartphone, a Mic (if you can purchase), a space to record, Anchor App, some basic Audio editing tricks & knowledge, that’s it.
1) Microphone:
You can buy BOYA Collor Mic as its one of the cheapest, best & comes with Audio cancellation & condenser to help in voice cancellation. Enables you to record crystal clear voice for the podcast (the same Mic is used by YouTubers).
Remember to use a Collor Mic your phone need to have an Audio jack or go for Wireless Mic
2) Audio Editors to Edit Podcast:
There’s plenty of options available online, I recommend Audacity to all as its Free & a Great tool for every Audio edits no matter a Podcast, Song, Rap, Audio or anything.
Desktop/Laptop- You can download Audacity from HERE for FREE on Windows or Mac if you want to know how to use it to catch the below embed Video.
Smartphone- For Smartphones or Mobile edits you can go for Super Sound- Free Music Editor by HappyBees from Google Play Store & for IOS GarageBand is a Free solution for Audio editing purposes on Apply (You can even use Anchor App Sound editor which is decent).
3) Recording Podcast:
As mentioned above now you have Mic, Space, Software to Edit, its time to record the Podcast & for that you need a Story or information to tell.
Remember: A Podcast is Voice-based only, which doesn’t include any Videos or Images so you should keep in mind that whatever you are going to make doesn’t need any for any of it for the audience entertainment.
After considering through you are set to record your Podcast, now it comes to your choice what kind of Podcasting you wanna do like- You can upload a Full-Slashed Long Podcast or can keep it short & can convert it into Series or Episodes (take help by listening some of them on Anchor for Free & you can even record Free Podcasts using anchor only).
I recommend making it into a series with Suspense at the End of every episode to boom up curiosity for the next one. The story can be brought up from an old book or can be made by you (doesn’t matter but original always works best)
What Language should you choose before starting a Podcast?
Try to use Literacy understood by most people not difficult Phrases or Words which bounce back over the audience mind & a Podcasting doesn’t bound behind barries of the Language so you can do it in Hindi, English, French. Spanish, Dutch, etc. which you think can grab the audience [I suggest to start Podcasting in English for International base & India Hindi]- Tip
In India, there’s very little competition in Podcasting so Hindi Podcasting can work well for you.
Basically, it all depends where you Live & what native language you choose to grab, like Text you cant Translate Podcast into different languages once published nor can provide Subtitles.
Once you have all that,
Getting Ready for the Podcast- but wait!
You are pumped still 2 things left are- Choosing a name for the Podcast & a Logo to represent.
Like a YouTube Channel, a Podcast also needs a specific name- it can be your name, brand name, or any other which sticks to your Podcasting journey. Make sure its a kinda which is Attentive, unique, catchy & easy to stick in people’s minds [keep it short & sweet], you can use https://www.namecheckr.com and https://www.namecheck.com to check if the name’s available.
For Logo you can be creative like a Brand Logo or YT Channel Art or FB DP, your Podcast also needs one. To create it I suggest Canva (available on Android, IOS, Web) gives you high-quality Logo making in PNG Format with various specified Layouts.
(Your Podcast Name & Logo should relatable to your Stories or Podcast theme) Pro-Tip

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it
seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting
videos to your blog when you could be giving us something
enlightening to read?
First off I would like to say wonderful blog! I had
a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your
thoughts prior to writing. I’ve had trouble clearing my mind in getting my thoughts
out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing but it
just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying
to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips?
Cheers!
My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find nearly all of your post’s to be exactly I’m looking
for. Do you offer guest writers to write content in your case?
I wouldn’t mind writing a post or elaborating on most of
the subjects you write regarding here. Again, awesome blog!
Thank You so much for the words, and yes we accept guest post
