Once an episode has been complied and “published,” it is downloadable. Once you build episodes, you can even allow Anchor to start distributing your show to most of the major platforms or, just keep it on your Anchor.FM page and link people to your show (say in Canvas).Īs a way to introduce podcasting to a class with minimal technology requirements, or equipment, and having students focus on the structure of their story this can be a great tool for an educator looking to begin integrating podcasting into a class. You stack your segments in the order you want, add transitions (provided) between segments, or (in the app) you can even use snippets of music from iTunes or Spotify underneath a bit you recorded. Using this model, it forces users to think about what they want say in chunks, as opposed to one monolithic recording (or rambling) that you would need to edit after the fact. The reasoning for not needing ‘editing’ is in their module based episode design. **Background music to a clip add can only be done from the app Drag and drop assets recorded in the browser, from the mobile app, or uploaded.

Anchor.FM ( recently acquired by Spotify) allows users to use a free mobile app, or web browser, and any microphone, and allows anyone to get started podcasting without any real need of knowing “editing.” And accounts/hosting is free ( at least at the time of writing this post). With this second golden age of podcasting, podcast production is getting easier and easier.
