Podcasting Essentials: Launch, Edit and Grow Your Own Show

Lisa Newton covers the practical sequence of creating a show, beginning with its purpose and format before moving into equipment, recording and editing. Distribution and promotion connect production work with reaching listeners. The curriculum also includes AI prompts for selected tasks, which learners can use as drafts rather than substitutes for original reporting or accurate episode notes.

What you will learn

• Plan a podcast format and episode workflow
• Record and edit using accessible audio tools
• Prepare distribution and audience-promotion activities

Who this suits

The requirements welcome beginners with an interest in podcasting and willingness to experiment. Audio-software familiarity is helpful but not required. The broad format suits someone seeking an overview of the complete workflow rather than one advanced production technique.

Before you enroll

The official listing gives 9 hours 8 minutes of video and a July 2026 update. Recording and independent production will take additional time. Check current hosting, software and directory terms rather than assuming every demonstrated option remains unchanged. Monetization discussions describe possibilities, not expected earnings. Review AI-assisted text for factual errors and protect private guest material; permissions and editorial responsibility remain with the producer.

Udemy offers paid purchase or subscription access depending on the current course and region. Paid teaching courses provide completion certificates under Udemy’s policy. Check current access terms and any separate software or material costs before enrolling.

Put it into practice

Produce a short pilot episode with a defined listener and format. Keep an editing log, write original show notes, and prepare a modest promotion plan whose results you can measure without promising a particular audience size.
