All you really need to start a podcast is a microphone or some kind of recording device you can connect to your computer—you could even use a recording app on your mobile. However, more expensive equipment will obviously lead to a better-sounding podcast.
Long-time podcaster Dan Benjamin has a comprehensive guide to some of the kit you can pick up and there are plenty more guides out there. You’re also going to need an audio editor to cut out awkward silences and mix in music: Audacity is one of the best free options out there.
SoundCloud users on a standard free account can upload up to three hours of audio every month, so it’s great for getting your podcast off the ground. If you want more, you can pay $55 per year for six hours of audio a month and $135 per year for unlimited uploads.
