A while back, I published the most popular podcasting tutorial on TH-cam, and in this video I wanted to make sure you have all of the latest and greatest information so that you can get your podcast setup the right way.
Podcasting has changed my life! It's helped me build a huge audience, develop a deeper relationship with my subscribers and customers, make more money, and most importantly make a bigger impact in the world.
All you need to do now is take action and learn how to start a podcast!
In this particular video, I'll be highlighting the equipment and software you need to get started - all without breaking the bank. My goal is to take away all of the excuses you have that are holding you back from starting your podcast. Trust me, because it took me forever to start my podcast back in July of 2010.
Things have changed since then (hint: it's A LOT easier to start a podcast today than it was before), and so make sure you watch through this video about equipment and software, and then subscribe so you don't miss the other two videos in this tutorial series!

I’m going to start a podcast talking about physics (universal level)
Wish me Luck :)
Best of luck!!
Damn I am on.
You haven't Did anything yet buddy you're late
How is it going? I'm going to launch my podcast next month. I've had my channel on TH-cam for more than one year now and will be expanding into podcasting.
That sounds fantastic! I’d love to listen. My Snapchat is @billyjeanbruh, if you could send me the link when this is up I will promote it on my Instagram and snap chat. I know it’s not much, but I’d love to support you, notify me when it’s up!
I was overwhelemed by the thought of everything it would take to make a podcast. Thank you for breaking it down and making it so simple!
This was great, Pat! Thank you 😊
Found you through your podcast!
Thanks Pat. I’ve been hesitant to start because I’m not all that tech savvy but you’ve given me new found confidence to give it a go. You’ve helped a small dream of mine come alive.
Hey Pat,
I was watching through this video and noticed when you go through the pop filters and windscreens, you mixed the two up. The first one is a windscreen and the second is the pop filter.
Thanks for your content!
I'm so excited about this series, Pat! As always, you're so helpful! Thank you!
Pat, you're the most consistently transparent teacher I've ever seen. I've been following your content since 2013. Thank you for everything you've given us!
you look like the charles boyle look alike in brooklyn nine nine
omg hahaha that's kinda true hahaha
Fuck
He's Bill's brother lmao
They can hire him for the Halloween episode
I have no desire to start a podcast but it's good to know there are awesome resources out there to help get started. If anyone asks if I know how to start a podcast, I know where to direct them.
Im listening...
interesting comment you have here, i know this is from a year ago I dont even know if you are still alive, but if you are can you direct me to something that helps me skin a rabbit. Im having trouble with the ones i hunt i can never do it properly
@@fancypigeon1031 direct me
I see that you are a real enthusiast when it comes to podcasting. I am just like you and I believe in bringing a change. I am a beginner and I need moral support from genuine audiences like you to advance my podcasting career. Visit my podcast by clicking on this link : tap.bio/outgrowthx
If not, then I wish you best luck! No hard feelings ;)
Appreciate any help
So, this popped up in my timeline 3 years later. I followed Pat's advice 2 years ago. I had a small TH-cam channel and then pivoted to podcasting for my niche . I have consistently followed Pat's advice and now have a channel that is its own global brand too. I highly recommend his online courses which are value for money and will help you elevate your growth and exposure.
Finally something easy to understand! Great job getting us started on podcasting. Headed to listen to more of your content now!
Thank you for making something complicated simple. Your video was very helpful!
agreed!
I have a youtube channel but want to start podcasting to assist me in using different angles to my brand. This video made it all very straight forward. Great vid
Hey Pat, just wanted to let you know I listen to your podcast every time you upload anything new and I like it a lot, I am interested in starting a podcast and just listened to the state of podcasting 2019 just today, glad to hear about Spotify, I am super glad I found you here, you were the first suggestion as well which is great, keep up the good work I really enjoy the show.
Hey Pat. Thanks for this information. Really appreciate it as I’m starting out knowing very little. I’m excited to share my work and I’m grateful for people like you that are willing to share your knowledge and expertise 🙏🏽
Looking to try out a 3 mic podcast setup with video cheap and with as little post work as possible (cutting in between scenes etc).. what would you recommend to purchase?
By far and away the best tutorial on creating a podcast I have seen on TH-cam thanks so much for the concise and very helpful tips

I agreee I’ve been looking everywhere
Thank You!!!
These videos have come at a most perfect time!!! ❤
Thanks Pat for all the helpful tips, equipment, software and the links for even more info!
Thanks a lot, this really assisted me and inspired me more to start my own. Amos here from South Africa 🇿🇦
Hey Amos, I just wanted to find out if you’ve launched already?
How did it go, Amos?
Very informative... thank you
I really appreciate you. Its nice to have people like us , moving forward in life willing to reach back and pull others in
This is the series to watch if you want to get into podcasting, I came across it while researching how to get started on my own podcast and it has been immensely helpful to me. Thank you Pat, you really get across the finer points of what and whatnot to do as well as the basics ! Watching your videos gives me more confidence in my ability to produce my own show and get my audience built up sooner than later. I was about to make all the mistakes you warned about, because frankly, I had no idea what to do. I have been writing online opinion columns for years and I have a great audience with that, but I wanted to get into podcasting to get those thoughts and messages out to my audience and hopefully gain new followers in the process. Now I feel that I have more confidence in doing this thanks to your video tutorials. ~ Rob D.
Pat!!! #TeamFlynn!!! Just uploaded my first Episode to ITunes!! Thank you thank you!!!!!
Me too. Mine's called "Brothers Who Spoon." What is yours called?
pooperscoop54321 Journey Through the Gate Paranormal Portal Podcast
Sysco Murdoch NOT on Google? I'm a Coast2Coast fan so yours sounded interesting.
I’m starting a podcast with my husband and brother in law where we get up early in the morning, drink a nice cup of coffee, and we talk about anime!
Thank you for being so generous and sharing this information.
This is brilliant, thanks for boiling it down to a set of solid recs with no additional research required. All your suggestions are good.
Great podcast, Pat. I will not be doing podcasts any time soon but I have started making TH-cam videos so, despite being an MS girl, I found the Garage Band tutorial helpful.
Hey Deb! You were randomly chosen based on your early comment to win an SPI pin! Please email pat@smartpassiveincome.com and we'll hook you up :)
What is ms girl
@@donaldchesser157 Microsoft
Love the videos, Found you by reading Crushing it!
Thanks, Pat! I used your videos getting my show up and running in 2017 and I just came across this to get some ideas for improvements!
hi Pat! we just want to say thank you for the inspiration. a few months ago i had no idea how to podcast or where even to start. although our show is only video at the moment we've used your affiliates make our site, and to host our files. we've used your advice everywhere! thank you so much!
Great video! Garage Band is such an incredible program, and if you download the app to your iPhone or iPad, it's like having a recording studio in your pocket! Plus the functionality is the same whether you're recording/editing on computer or mobile.
yup
Great information straight to the point. Thank you! :-)
Thanks Matthias!
You are AMAZING. Will be watching all your podcast videos to learn how to start up my own podcast. I was overwhelmed but you’re making it 100x easier for me! 💙💙💙🙌
Finally a good teacher!!!! I just felt like he held my hand and walked me through the whole thing!
Me and my friends are starting a podcast and this video helped alot if your interested our podcast is called Jibbletz Podcast
Do you have a video on how to record with two people?
This is SO helpful thank you so much for the care and planning you put into this video!
Thanks Pat, very informative. I look forward to watching more of your videos!
Could you go over having a 2 or even 3 person setup?
Colin Redmann I’ve seen a 6 person podcast before and it was neat was just a big group chill session .
You would probably need a mixer so you could have multiple inputs
I need a 5 person set up😭
Same here.
Yeah get a interface with more inputs. Or a mixer.
ok so I started watching your beginning podcast and I was considering making one myself and where to i go? TH-cam of course and this is the first video I see.
I love your podcast and the tips about the equipment. When the time comes I'll be ready. Thank you!
This video was super helpful! Thank you. I especially like the 4 steps to start a podcast you gave a great amount of info in a short description 🙌🏼
I am from Brazil. I like your vídeos for to study english.
For studying English
Can't thank you enough for these videos. I have decided to begin a Podcast, and this video laid it out SO well!!! Just downloaded the cheat sheet.
Dude, wow. just wow. Amazing content! Glad i listened to Steve. A happy subscriber.
I was so excited and them realize I have $0.00 for those things, great!
Eny Niendorf you can use phones microphone too . You already have that on your phone. Use your phone audio recorder.thats what I do.and when your Abel to,you switch over to a better one.
WarAngel 144 thank you for this information. How long did it take , roughly, to get it all set up and running for you?
you're posting on the internet, you have everything you need to get started, but if you look for an excuse you will always find one, without fail, and it only takes one to make you fail. Your choice 👍
😅
Join us later, when you can afford it. Podcasting is the way in this LOCKDOWN. Depending on your PROJECT, you can also look for a finance/ dormant Partner.
Hey Pat. Great tutorial. Thank you. I will be interviewing people on my podcast so I'm assuming I need to double up on the equipment which is fine. Everything shown in your tutorial is only for one microphone.
Can I use a USB dual adapter cable so I can connect the two microphones into the side of my computer?
Great question. I was wondering the same thing. Did you find an answer?
@@StephenBeale I too would like to know this
Bump need to know also
❤️ I'm ao grateful for you Pat! A couple months ago I started to explore the amazing idea of becoming a Podcaster. I watched so much overwhelming videos that I almost quit. Pat makes things simple while keeping things real. I am so grateful for his webinars and the Superfans Book! Today, I'm coming back not only to tell you how much I appreciate him but I'm sharing this video with a friend that is so exciting about becoming a Podcater as well! 💕🙏🏼💕 it feels so good to spread goodness!!! 🍃My Podcast is called Bug Me Not - Big Talks for Kids and I'm so happy with this amazing Journey! ✨✨🌼 I wish you all success, happiness and blessings! 🌱 Keep on learning and putting your heart in everything you do!
This was SO helpful & thorough 🙏🏼
What about headphones? Is there a recommendation for the best type of headphones to use?
Use your Apple EarPods, not AirPods. And the Audio Technica M50x’s. Funny you asked, I just made a video about podcasting headphones the other day haha
Is your setup different that what you recommended? I like the Rich sound you have. How do you accomplish this? Thanks!
You could have the best mic in the world, but it’s not going to sound like this straight out of box. The rich sound you speak of is done in post with condensers, compressors and equalizers. Think of it like an Instagram filter for your picture, but with audio. Hope that helps :)
This was jam packed with useful information... especially the little things that people might overlook like the size of your podcast artwork. Thank you!!
OH MY GOSH Thank you SO SO much for making this video! I have been wanting to make a podcast for a long time, but had no idea where to start. Thanks so much for making it easy! :)
Welp. Had to save this so I can come back lmao. Imma forget all of this 🤣
Rogue Video Productions it’s expensive but not impossible to start
How do I connect multiple microphones to my computer if I don't have a USB microphone?
that little red box he had in the beginning allows for multiple mics.
an audio interface would be the best and easiest option. You would have to use xlr microphones, and get an interface that has greater than 1 port, or as many as you need.
.
Great tutorial Pat! Just what I was looking for today to get me started. Thank you! :)
Hi 👋🏾Pat!!! Can you make a vid for multiple mic users in a podcast show. Would I need extra equipment? Btw you are doing a great job! I also listen to your SPI podcast! I appreciate you! 😝
Hi Lynelle, there's any new piece of gear called the RodeCaster Pro by Rode that would be a perfect fit for you. I to want setup to have multiple mics for several guest. This item is great for podcasters and is relatively inexpensive, about $600.00. But it will be well worth the money. I currently have one on back order. Hope this helps!!
Is possible on a Mac very easily without any extra equipment (probably on a pc too but I’m not familiar)-you just plug in two usb mics and make an aggregate audio device in preferences. I won’t explain it all here because there are peeps out there doing so in a much clearer fashion. Search TH-cam or the web and there are plenty of great tutorials. It is surprisingly easy
HELL YEAH MAN NOW I CAN START UP MY VERY OWN PODCAST
HOLLYWOOD look out BECAUSE HERE I COME
I cannot THANK YOU enough. This is everything that I need to know...You made the difference and I want you to know that. Thank you!
Dude you are AMAZING! I am in the process of starting my own podcast and with your help I’m definitely on my way !!! Thank you Pat!!
Can I do this for gaming voice overs? I have a cheapo Neewer condenser mic for 40 comes with stand shock mount pop filter and ever phantom power. Though the mic sounds webcam quality. I wanted a mic for podcast and also gaming.
You sure can. When you edit your gaming videos all you do is add your recorded voice as another audio source. Works great!
do you have a tutorial for someone trynna start a podcast with remote co host? badly need it haha
Use Zoom or Zencastr. Or just do it over the phone, assuming you both have separate recorders / mics. You’ll have to sync the audio in post, but people will think you’re in the same room!
Worked through the next module of Power-Up Podcasting last night! Thanks, Pat!
A great video. Podcasts are new to me, so it was refreshing to find someone who made it simple. Thanks Pat
What would I use to actively toggle cameras, like Joe Rogans podcast?
You would need various cameras recording different angles and then in editing you'd need to sync all the cameras together and cut in between them
You'll need Jamie !!!! JK buddy
What about for multiple mics?
RODECaster Pro
@@MiguelVillagomezTV thank you
What's pro?
you need the box
CrackaLackTV good luck paying $600
One of those rare occasions where I found exactly what I needed on the first search.. Thanks!
This is wonderful...thank you for all your work putting this together.
I want to combine TH-cam live, Facebook live with my podcast. Is it doable? And what's the deal with periscope?
What if i have multiple mics and only one PC or laptop to Plug in ?
An audio interface would help you
On a Mac, and I bet there is a way to do this on pc, if you plug in two usb mics, you can create an aggregate audio device and record on two tracks simultaneously on GarageBand. Again, I only know Mac but there are great videos and online tutorials on how to do this without an external mixer
Thank you for the video.
Love your podcast by the way ✨
Genius! You're a GREAT instructor. Thank you!
What would you use to record phone call interviews?
Legally, that is a big no go. I wouldn't record interviews because if the applicant makes a complaint you would have to provide them any and all information.
@@XGR76 I don't believe he means those types of interviews. I believe he's speaking of podcast interviews. :)
I have the same question
The cheat sheet link is where again? Is it the very last link?
Here it is Michelle! Sorry about that! Here you go: patflynn.lpages.co/the-podcast-cheat-sheet/
Here it is Michelle! Sorry about that! Here you go: patflynn.lpages.co/the-podcast-cheat-sheet/
Thank you kind sir!
Amazing help, Thank You!
Pat - always great to see your content. You are a great example of a creator who has his head and heart in the right place. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us
Equipment: Headphones, Audio Card, Microphone, and stuff.
Me: Phone and FLStudio
Yeah that's about right
Same here
How's the sound? Good quality? I have FL Studio too, is it a simple software?
What about multiple mics?
An preamp with multiple inputs like the Presonus Preamp would work.
Clear, short and sweet precise information. Thanks bro !
You know how to break it down to simple steps, Thank you. Can't wait to see more.
Pat this is all is great but please don't recommend the MY-420 Studio Microphone Shock Mount. It scratched my brand new microphone. I recommend you remove it from your list.
dang that sucks. what mic?
thanks
You’re welcome!
Good looks bro respect to the grind and knowledge
Nicely done, Pat. Concise, right to the point. Thanks.
Would a MacBook Air work well for podcasting or should I make sure to get the pro?
stylistmatt if you’re just podcasting on it, the air will work just fine! Once you start getting into heavier software is when the pro comes in handy. Overall I would recommend getting the pro, however if it’s just for podcasting, the air will suffice :)

This is a very helpful guide and I appreciate your time and effort you put into your videos. Thank you!
Thanks so much, Pat! Your timing was impeccable. I have just started recording a podcast with my son, and I purchased the Samson a few months ago because it got similar reviews to the ATR2100, but it was about $20 cheaper. I figured if I didn't like it, I would try the ATR2100 for our second one, so we each have one. However, after watching your review, I'm going to stay with the Samson for my second one, as well. I did have some problems with the stand for it, and I saw that was a negative in the reviews for it. Some people said to just pick up a better stand to go with it, so I will probably do that. Thanks, again, Pat!
I want to make a JRE type podcast
He confused pop filter and windscreen (pop filter is the circular thing he led up) there have different aims but at this level there very similar
Thank you Pat your podcast video was clear, informative and I very much appreciated what you put together. Thank you so much.
Well done! Clear, concise and professional!
So I actually want to know "what is podcasting" ?!!!
Haha I understand your question. A podcast is like a radio show, except it's prerecorded and people can stream (or download) at any time
I thought it was casting pods
I'm starting a Premier League Podcast.
Let’s get it imma support you.
What's it called? I want to tune in
Great video: structured, full of valuable info/tips. Thank youu
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I watched your video in February 2020 and followed all of your suggestions. I will be able to launch my first (4 podcasts) for my ministry the first of July, thanks to you. I am sending the pre-launch ad out now and it is all thanks to your very informative and easy to follow tutorial. Blessings to you and yours.
You're awesome i'm following you.. i wanted to hear someone tell me how to start & you have, thank you you're a blessing!
