Getting Started with Podcasting

Podcasting involves a lot of technology and hardware which can be a little overwhelming at first. This session will explain the software and hardware that you need to get started. Hint: it’s not as much as you think. Eric will reveal the must have tools and share a streamlined process for production so you can ditch fear and get recording with confidence. MEET OUR HOST: Podcasting became an obsession for me when I was bored in my cubicle in 2013. I've listened to thousands of hours of podcasts and one day realized just how much impact they could have for the Gospel. In 2016, I started my show, Halfway There, to tell the full story of the Christian life with God. Then, in 2017, I started Christian Podcasters Association as a group on Facebook to bring Christian podcasters together. It's evolved from just a group where people post their latest episodes to a membership that promotes the cause of Christian podcasting and podcasters around the world. Now I use what I've learned to help people just like you start and grow their podcasts. I’ll show you how to overcome fear, streamline your processes, and reach the people God is calling you to with your podcast. Come along if you'd like.
