+ Tips and Tricks Have all information, pictures and music picked before you start recording Write out your script to read unless you are having a discussion or an interview. For an interview have a list of topics to discuss. This makes for a smoother sounding podcast, easier to listen to and less re-recording due to mistakes. For the first podcast expect 3-4 class periods. Subsequent podcasts (if they have their information collected ahead of time) should only take 1 class period to record and 1 to edit.

+ More Tips and Tricks Be aware of copyright laws when using music.
