In this article, I am going to show you how to make a podcast. Firstly, podcasts are recorded audio discussions on certain topics that can be listened to both online and offline. In this digital era, many people share their experiences or stories in the form of podcasts with any theme such as business, education, audiobooks, politics, comedy, etc. Furthermore, there are a lot of tools provided to edit or create podcasts, one of the tools is Audacity.

Audacity is an easy-to-use, multi-track audio editor and recorder for Windows, Mac, and other operating systems. The feature-packed software is open-source and free to use. Then, Audacity can edit audio files, mix multiple tracks, apply effects to sound recordings, and do a lot more to create all kinds of music.
