How this podcast is produced

This is the vacation episode. Recorded on my way to the beach of Moliets-et-Maa.

Moliets-et-Maa is a small village in south-west of France. It’s situated close to the Atlantic sea. Roundabout 120 km south of Bordeaux and 50 kilometres north of Biarritz. It’s a surfer’s spot and offers a 9- and 18-hole golf course. We love it due to the great sea view, the wide beach and the lovely weather conditions.

It’s also my 10th episode and therefore time for a short celebration. Hoorray. Okay, that’s enough.

5 steps to produce a podcast episode

The tools I use

MindMeister is my mind-mapping tool for planning the episode’s content. I also use it during recording as my cheat-sheet
audacity is a free, open source, cross-platform software for recording and editing sounds. I heavily use it to remaster my recorded sound files. There’s also Adobe Audition, but you will have to pay for it.
auphonic is the automatic audio post production web service for podcasts, broadcasters, radio shows, movies, screencasts and more. I use auphonic for my final normalization and loudness amplifying to achieve a constant level of volume in my episodes.
Rode is the manufacturer of great microphones. I regularly use the NT1-A, but in this episode the SmartLav+ is in use.
dig.ccmixter.org is my preferred source for royalty-free music following the Creative Commons Licence
buffer.com is my preferred tools for scheduled contributions to Twitter and LinkedIn. However buffer is much more. Get yourself a try.
