Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re going to start thinking about podcasting software. The term “podcast software” is pretty general. It could be used to describe the programme or app you use to record, edit, or publish your episodes. Some platforms only focus on one of these aspects, whilst others will do all 3. It’s common for editing software to double up as recording software. Prime examples of these are Audacity, Adobe Audition, and our own Alitu. Many online call recorders don’t have editing functions though - or, if they do, they tend to be really basic. Podcast publishing or hosting software might also offer some basic recording and editing features. We’re going to take a deeper dive into some options here in a future episode. Transcription is also important from an accessibility and legal point of view. There’s plenty of software options on that front, too, as we’ll soon find out. You might even think of your project management or scheduling tools as podcast software. These are tools like Trello, Asana, Notion, Calendly, and Book Like a Boss.
