Why Create a Podcast?
Three tutorials and lessons using three different apps for creating and publishing Podcasts
Podcasts over the last five years have gained massively in popularity and are now mainstream. They are traditionally audio recorded programmes that are published onto a variety of services like Spotify and Apple Music. Audiences subscribe to their favourite podcasts so the latest episode is automatically downloaded onto their device. From football players to the BBC, everyone can have a go at podcasting and publishing their ideas and thoughts. It is easy and accessible to all age groups.
