Which audio engineering skills do new podcasters need?

In this episode, I list 20 audio engineering skills I use so that you have an idea of what you need to know if you start a podcast. I took this directly from my newest online course, which is called A Behind-The-Scenes Look at The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast. It launches in April 2023.

I help pharmacy professionals decide if they want to start a podcast by showing them behind the scenes of mine. “Checking all the boxes” on my list may be just what you need to feel more confident about starting your podcast.

If you know someone who needs to hear this episode, please share it with them!
