Here is my experience and learning from Digital Pratik's 7 Days Podcast Roadmap Challenge - Day 4

On this day he shared about tools you need to start your podcast, So if you're doing it alone you just need a smartphone and a little silent place to record.

And for an Interview based podcast session, you can use Skype and Zoom and then record your whole session, Skype and Zoom also provide the functionality to download the video and audio tracks which you can later use it to publish your podcast.

A good podcast consist of various elements or sections -

1. Pre Roll - This is about a short overview of what you're going to get inside the podcast episode. This is usually about 10-15 seconds long.

2. Intro - After your Pre-Roll you have to introduce your podcast and little about yourself, a quick and crisp intro would be better, and then start your main episode.

3. Main Episode - Now after your crisp intro, Let your main episode can take over.

4. Mid- Roll Ads - These are bumper audio ads, alert messages, notices which you can incorporate between your main episode. Do it when you have an ample amount of subscribers to your podcast.

5. Outro - This is where you tell your audience to like, review, and share your content just like any youtube video's ending. You can even include a thank you note for listening to your podcast.

These are the 5 essential sections of a podcast.
