Podcasts

At Åbo Akademi University we have two podcast studios: one in Turku and one in Vaasa.

The podcast studios are equipped with specialized audio equipment. In addition, the acoustics of the studio are adapted to minimize unwanted echoes and sound distortions.

Podcast studios are booked in Peppi.

Recording outside the podcast studio

It is also possible to borrow a Studio Kit, a bag with microphones and a webcam, so you can record material outside the studios (more info to come)

How to make podcasts / podcasts

Three production phases

1. recording

2. editing (if needed)

3. publishing on platform

Recording

The sound is the most important thing, TEST for a while before you start the real recording.

There are many different programs to record with, such as

– Zoom: Start a meeting, activate the microphone and record to your computer

– Windows: Audio recorder

– Mac: QuickTime Player: File / New Audio Recording

– Free Audacity software, which also works well for editing

Publishing and storage options

At ÅA there is Panopto (panopto.abo.fi) and O365 OneDrive (office.com) that can be used
to publish your podcasts. You can also upload audio files to blogs2.abo.fi if you
have a blog there,
