Educational Podcasting
Your experience has a story. Make it a podcast.
You have ideas worth sharing beyond your classroom. Whether you want to interview educators, reflect on your practice or connect a school community, start with a clear purpose and a recording setup you can actually use.

Start here
Start a show you can keep making.
The best first setup is the one that helps you record consistently. Choose a listener and a format before you choose more gear.
Know who you are helping
Finish this sentence: “This show helps ___ do ___.” Choose a repeatable format—solo reflection, an interview or a conversation with a colleague.

Record and make a backup
Reduce room noise, wear headphones and record a short sound check. Save the original audio before editing.
Edit for the listener
Trim distractions, balance voices and prepare an episode description and transcript. Use only music and artwork you have permission to publish.
Publish and share
Choose a podcast host for your audio and RSS feed, then follow its submission steps for listening apps. Add a clear episode title, show notes and a link people can share.
