Stor圜orps offers a free mobile app that you can use to record interviews with family members. This is an annual event intended to encourage people to record family stories during the month of November. Last week I shared the news that Stor圜orps is once again hosting The Great Thanksgiving Listen. Anchor offers some ideas for podcast topics here or you could head to the Story Corps Great Questions page to look for some podcast topics.
If you're looking for a way to have your students create podcasts while your school is closed, Anchor's new remote recording option could be just what you need. The whole process is demonstrated in this new video from Anchor. Guests can open the link in Firefox, Safari, Edge, or the Anchor app (Chrome support coming soon) and start recording with you. To do this just open the Anchor app, click record, and then click "invite friends" to send them a link to join you in your recording. Fortunately, Anchor has introduced a new way to record podcasts with remote guests.Īnchor now lets you record with up to four remote guests even if they don't have Anchor accounts. While that process works, it could be easier. I used Zoom to record those episodes and then publish them through Anchor. Most of my podcast episodes are solo efforts, but I have done a handful with guests including this one with Scott McLeod and this one with LT Rease Miles. You can see my whole process outlined in this video and blog post.
In other words, with just a couple of clicks my podcast gets distributed to Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, and a handful of other networks. I use Anchor because Anchor makes it incredibly easier to record, edit, and publish my podcast to all of the major podcast networks at once. Anchor is the service that I have been using since last August to produce my weekly Practical Ed Tech Podcast.
