Advice on starting podcasting

[JimClark49]

Hi All,

I am planning to make podcasts in the near future for educational purposes and was hoping some experienced podcasters can share tips.

I currently plan to start simple by using iPhone voice memos to record the audio. I plan to upload to ITunes by creating a channel on there and assuming this is free? Are there any caveats of using Itunes?

Any other tips or resources are greatly welcomed.

Not a podcaster, but I used to record music in my dad's shed on no budget. A great tip I found was to put a pillow behind the microphone and a wire clothes hanger with a pair of tights over them. This improves the recording quality by removing room echo and pop's. The most annoying thing on a podcast is poor audio quality, so if you sort that the content will follow.
