Learn Podcast Basics to Start Your Podcasting Journey!

Have you ever thought about starting a podcast but didn’t know where to begin?
This event is your all-access pass to understanding the modern world of podcasting—from concept to creation and beyond. Whether you’re curious about what makes a great podcast or ready to take your first steps toward launching one, this interactive session will give you the tools, confidence, and inspiration to get started.
In today’s media landscape, the definition of a “podcast” has evolved dramatically. In 2025, podcasts aren’t just audio anymore—they’re video shows, livestreams, and full-fledged brands that connect creators with audiences across the world. During this class, we’ll explore how podcasting has changed over the years and what that means for you as a new creator.
We’ll break down key topics in plain, practical language, including:

• What a podcast is (and what it isn’t) in 2025
• The difference between audio and video podcasts—and how to choose your format
• How to record and edit your first episode
• What an RSS feed is and why it’s essential
• How to upload your show to platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube
• How to pick a podcast host and understand your distribution options
• Tips for planning, naming, and promoting your podcast
  
  No prior experience is needed—just curiosity and an idea.
  By the end of this session, you’ll walk away with a clear understanding of the podcasting process, insider tips from a live podcast producer, and the confidence to finally share your voice with the world.

When you come to a Poduty Live event, you’re not just sitting in a classroom—you’re stepping into a fully equipped podcast theater designed to inspire creativity and connection. Expect a warm, welcoming environment where curiosity is encouraged, questions are celebrated, and learning feels more like hanging out with friends than attending a lecture.
You’ll be greeted by host Jeff Revilla, an experienced podcaster and live show producer, who will walk you through every step of the podcasting process in a fun, easy-to-understand way. From the moment you walk in, you’ll see the lights, cameras, microphones, and energy of a real podcast production—because at Poduty Live, we don’t just talk about podcasting, we show you how it’s done.
This event is perfect for anyone curious about starting a podcast or learning how today’s creators reach global audiences. Together, we’ll explore what a podcast really is in 2025, how that definition has evolved, and what tools you actually need to begin. We’ll cover everything from recording and editing to RSS feeds, hosting, and publishing your first episode.
Come expecting to learn, laugh, and leave with new ideas (and maybe even new podcasting friends). Whether you join us in person at the Poduty Live Theater in Tarentum, PA or tune in virtually, you’ll experience the same signature mix of education, entertainment, and community that makes every Poduty event unforgettable.
