Podcast

 

In this modern era, who doesn’t listen to the podcast on their gadget even just once. It’s very popular with young to old people. But if you don’t know what it is. I will explain it to you. The podcast is a digital audio file made available on the internet for downloading to a computer or mobile device typically available as a series at first. Fun fact, the podcast is the acronym for iPod and broadcasting. It has similarities with the radio because broadcast in the form of audio or sound. However, this trend has changed. A lot of content creators produce a podcast in the form of video. So, the video contains two-person or more doing a conversation talk and discuss anything. 

 

Nevertheless, in this writing, I put more focus on educational purposes instead of in general. Ok, will continue the discussion. The purpose of using podcasts in teaching and learning English is to teach the students about listening and speaking skills. In my opinion, this media is good to enhance the ability of the learner to study more because the activity of teaching doesn’t monotonous just listening to the teacher only. Then, for the tool to make a podcast you just need the recorder, a smartphone is enough. After doing a recording you can edit the audio first with the software, I suggest using Audacity it’s free the editing stage is optional. There are many platforms for uploading the result of your recordings like Soundcloud or Spotify.

 

Here is a video of the tutorial to edit the audio in Audacity.



 

And my first episode of the podcast with my pair. You can listen in your free time.
