Hello and welcome!

This journey will be all about how to create a podcast. As a sports enthusiast, I love to talk about all things sports so what better way to do that then by creating a podcast just for that specific purpose.  Also many sports fans know watching a favorite sport on television sometimes just isn’t enough, especially if you aren’t able to enjoy it whenever or wherever you go. Enter the podcast.  Not only is podcasting a new and exciting medium poised to take off exponentially, but they are an effective, portable, convenient and intimate way to deliver and produce content.

I took an interest in podcasts last year after I became obsessed with following ESPN reporter, Adam Schefter on Twitter only to find out he also hosted his own podcast.  Once I started listening I couldn’t stop. Especially when I found out that Schefter is considered ESPN’s most prolific NFL news-breaker because of his rapid reporting style of staying on top of injuries, suspensions and signings. He essentially is the main news source for America’s most popular sport. How exciting?

In the process of diving into this dynamic medium, I hope to learn the basic skills necessary to create a podcast. The thought of creating and deploying a sports podcast that people find entertaining and want to come back to listen to, can be a bit overwhelming but if the “how to” process is presented in bite sized pieces, the end goal seems to be more realistic.

By the end of my journey, hopefully you can learn what’s needed to create your own podcast. I also hope the way the information will be presented will make the process of creating a podcast easier. By providing the guiding principles and including a breakdown of the steps in the process, you should acquire the skills and background knowledge to start making a podcast of your own. So join me on this journey as we learn to navigate this process together!
