Podcasts are a huge part of these potential expansions. Whether you currently have a podcast or are thinking of starting one, there are certain tools that you need in order to succeed. Here are five podcast tools that you simply can’t overlook.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-1--1-necessary-hardware\">1. Necessary hardware\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately for anyone still using old model computers and worn-down microphones to their podcast, audiences no longer accept low resolution audio for podcasts. The good news is you can make a few hardware upgrades to get some amazing sound without breaking the bank. Though it is nice to have a fast computer, you can realistically get by without one, though it might make things like editing take much longer. We will focus on smaller, cheaper upgrades that you can make immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-42517\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192235\u002Fpodcast-tools-2.jpg\" alt=\"A microphone near a mixer.\" class=\"wp-image-42517\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192235\u002Fpodcast-tools-2.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192235\u002Fpodcast-tools-2-450x300.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192235\u002Fpodcast-tools-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hardware drives the entire operation.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first thing you’ll want to add to your podcast tools is a professional microphone. This will give you the opportunity to record high quality audio and cut down on unsettling sounds associated with older, cheaper mics. Next, to keep the mic accessible to the host and guests, you’ll want to find a stable mount that holds the mic in place. Finally, a pop filter is a nice finishing touch to the equipment, giving your recordings a clean sound without any extra ‘popping’ being picked up during the podcast.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-2--2-scheduling-apps\">2. Scheduling apps\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most commonly overlooked aspects of a successful podcast is a release schedule of some sort. It doesn’t matter how good your content is, if you put out an episode every once in a while, without any rhyme or reason, it will be less successful. The difference between a podcast with sporadic episode releases and a podcast with a weekly, planned release schedule is massive. In order to fulfill this, you’ll want to implement a scheduling app.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-42519\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"528\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192235\u002Fpodcast-tools-3.jpg\" alt=\"A desk with podcast gear on it.\" class=\"wp-image-42519\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192235\u002Fpodcast-tools-3.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192235\u002Fpodcast-tools-3-450x297.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192235\u002Fpodcast-tools-3-768x507.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Scheduling ensures a podcast holds audience interest.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scheduling apps let users plan ahead with a lot of different features that don’t exist using a pen and a physical calendar. A good scheduling tool lets podcast owners create reminders and involve potential guests in the scheduling process. I recommend \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fdoodle.com\u002Fen\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Doodle\u003C\u002Fa> for this reason, as it gives users a chance to invite podcast guests to indicate when they’re available to record. A lot of the \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fbest-branding-podcasts\u002F\">best branding podcasts\u003C\u002Fa> are made using Doodle, giving it a lot of positive backing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-3--3-writing-tools\">3. Writing tools\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It’s fine to write your podcast script or topics onto a piece of paper in a notebook, so long as you’re the only one who needs to see it. Chances are this isn’t the case, however. Especially as your podcast expands, there will be and more reason to digitize your writing efforts. Tools like Microsoft Word run into similar problems as the physical pen and paper method – they require extra sharing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-42521\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192235\u002Fpodcast-tools-4.jpg\" alt=\"A person writes notes in a notebook.\" class=\"wp-image-42521\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192235\u002Fpodcast-tools-4.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192235\u002Fpodcast-tools-4-450x300.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192235\u002Fpodcast-tools-4-768x512.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Writing is a huge part of the planning phase.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The solution is to find a writing tool that allows for real-time collaboration, so that guests and co-hosts can access show scripts and make live changes. This boosts feedback from other members of your podcast team and helps cut down on potential mistakes before it’s too late. A tool like \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fdocs.google.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Docs\u003C\u002Fa> allows for real-time editing and collaboration. Give it a shot the next time you’re writing a podcast show script.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now it’s time to take a look at some post-podcast tools. These are tools that help your process after you’ve recorded a podcast episode.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-4--4-editing-tools\">4. Editing tools\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the podcast is recorded, it’s time to start cleaning it up and getting it ready for release. The last thing you want is errors, dead time and a lack of flow within an episode.

Make sure you have a handle on it before beginning a big editing project.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that your podcast is recorded and edited, you can release it to the public. Once this is done, it’s important to have a way to measure the podcast’s success.
