Planning is important for podcasting

 * Podcasting Terms:**
 * Podcast Intro: a fully-produced introduction to your podcast, consisting of our voice talent, royalty-free music, and/or a careful blend of sound effects.


 * Podcast Outro: wrapping up your show -- which might include credits (writer, producer, etc.), legalities, the URL of your podcast page, or just a simple "tune in next time."


 * Podcast Bumper: a short transition between podcast topics or between songs on your podcast.


 * Creating your first podcast...**

Steps

1. Plan what you’ll say in the episode intro and outro, and what you want to cover in each segment.

2. Record a podcast intro that says who you are and what your podcast is about.

3. Record an episode intro that describes the topics you’ll cover today.

4. Record a few informative segments.

5. Record a short "outro" to sign off at the end.

6. After you’re finished recording, you can try to spice up your podcast using music. You can try using the same jingle every episode after your podcast intro. You can also use jingles as "bumpers" between segments, and again after your outro.
