4. Tips for creating a podcast

If you are planning to create a podcast as a teacher or scientist, it would be a good idea to pay attention to a few important things in advance.

• Define your goal. First, clearly define what you want to achieve with your podcast, whether you want to introduce a new topic, spark a discussion, or deepen existing knowledge.
• Think about the structure and audience. Work out the parts of your podcast well: the introduction (who is speaking and what it is about), the main part (the key content you are conveying), and the ending (a summary and announcement of future topics).
• Use storytelling and an informal tone. Storytelling and a relaxed atmosphere help keep the listener's attention.
• Ensure quality sound. Audio quality is crucial to the experience, test your equipment and settings before recording.
