TL;DR: how do you #podcast?
My super nerdy kid has decided she wants to spend the rest of her hot summer break creating a podcast in which she teaches parents how to help their elementary aged #kids with #school.
She's all in. First episode recorded, eps 2-4 sketched out.
What comes next?? How do you go from recording to #podcasting? Not looking to make money! Just trying to support her efforts to find her true calling and save other kids from their clueless parents.
What are the most fool proof audio editing tools? I will pay for easy.
What information goes with a podcast? How much do you reveal about yourself?
And...where do they live??
There's two parts to distributing a podcast. The hosting and the feed which gets updated when you add a new episode. This feed can be submitted to different distribution channels (Apple Music, Spotify, etc) and those distribution channels will then know when you have new episodes.
Spotify has an all-in-one solution where they will host and create this feed on their servers. This is totally free and probably one of the easier ways to get started.
You may hit TOS issues with a lot of services due to her age, but if that happens I would be happy to set up something on my server for free. I already pay for far more storage/bandwidth than I need so it has no marginal cost to me to enable her to explore her interests. It will take a little time to set up because I don't do any podcasting.
That's about all I've got from the nerd side of posting. If you end up with specific questions let me know and I'll do my best to answer

This is really, really helpful, Dan!! I'll let you know what we learn as we go, and might well hit you up on that hosting offer if we can figure out the logistics
