Launch Your Club Podcast
for Free
Ever thought about starting a podcast for your club, but worried about the cost? Good news: you can launch a high-quality show with a zero-dollar budget. It’s entirely possible to connect with your community, share incredible stories, and grow your audience without spending a single cent.
01Gear Up for Free
You don’t need a professional studio to get great sound. In fact, the most crucial equipment is likely within your reach right now. The key is to make the most of what you have.
Your Smartphone is Your Studio
Your smartphone is an incredibly powerful recording device. Modern phones have excellent microphones, and with the right app, you can record, edit, and even publish episodes directly. Apps like Spotify for Podcasters or Riverside’s mobile app turn your phone into a portable production house.
Wired Headphones
Any pair of wired headphones will do. Use them to monitor your audio while recording and catch echoes in real time.
