Let’s put all of this into context before we move on.
在继续之前，让我们将所有这些都放在上下文中。
播客简介 (An Introduction to Podcasting)
Although the concept has been around since the 80’s radio boom, podcast is a relatively new term which is a mishmash of Apple’s iPod media player and the word broadcast. Podcast is defined as:
尽管从80年代的无线电热潮开始就出现了这一概念，但播客是一个相对较新的术语，是苹果iPod媒体播放器和广播一词的混搭。 播客定义为：
“A digital audio or video file or recording, usually part of a themed series that can be downloaded from a website to a media player or computer.” Source: Dictionary.com
“数字音频或视频文件或录音，通常是主题系列的一部分，可以从网站下载到媒体播放器或计算机。” 资料来源： Dictionary.com
Adam Curry and Dave Winer are behind the creation of iPodder which forms the building blocks of modern day podcasting. The purpose of the site was to provide users with an elegant broadcasting mechanism enabling them to listen to audio content whenever they’d like.
iPodder的创建由Adam Curry和Dave Winer支持，iPodder构成了现代播客的基础。 该站点的目的是为用户提供一种优雅的广播机制，使他们能够随时收听音频内容。
播客的兴起 (The Rise of Podcasting)
Podcasting has been around since 2004 and, over a decade later, they’re regaining popularity among the masses. According to a study, more people are listening to podcasts in the United States than ever before.
自2004年以来就开始播客，十年后，它们开始在大众中重新流行。 根据一项研究 ，在美国，收听播客的人数比以往任何时候都要多。
Nearly 46 million Americans listen to podcasts per month.
每月有将近4600万美国人收听播客。
27 million Americans listen to an average of 6 podcasts per week.
每周有2700万美国人平均收听6个播客。
More than half of the podcast listeners consume them on their smartphones.
超过一半的播客听众在智能手机上消费它们。
45% of the podcasts listeners hold a college degree.
45％的播客听众拥有大学学位。
25% of podcast listeners plug their smartphones into their car’s audio system nearly every day.
几乎每天都有25％的播客听众将智能手机插入汽车的音频系统。
Apple has surpassed 1 billion subscriptions for podcasts via iTunes.
Podcasts are trending once again and this time they’re here to stay for some time. Most of the podcast listeners are young, affluent, and well-educated people who crave audio content on their morning commutes and running their daily errands.
播客再次流行，这次是在这里停留一段时间。 大多数播客听众都是年轻，富裕且受过良好教育的人，他们渴望在上下班途中听音频内容并执行日常任务。
Apple’s products come with the stock Podcast app whereas other apps like SoundCloud, Tune In, and Stitcher are also widely used.
苹果的产品随附有Podcast应用，而其他应用如SoundCloud，Tune In和Stitcher也被广泛使用。
WordPress中的播客 (Podcasting in WordPress)
Podcasting and WordPress are like two peas in a pod (pun intended!). WordPress is an immensely popular CMS and its users like to keep up with the latest trends and styles. You’ve probably noticed that most of the WordPress hubs have added a podcast to their site to supplement their daily blogs covering everything from the latest happenings to tutorials. In a way, website owners are translating written content into audio content.
播客和WordPress就像是荚中的两个豌豆(双关语！)。 WordPress是一个非常受欢迎的CMS，它的用户喜欢跟上最新趋势和样式。 您可能已经注意到，大多数WordPress中心都在其站点上添加了一个播客，以补充其日常博客，涵盖从最新事件到教程的所有内容。 网站所有者以某种方式将书面内容转换为音频内容。
A podcast combined with a WordPress site is far more beneficial for website owners from a marketing perspective in that both promote each other and cover twice as much ground. At this point you’re probably convinced that a lot (and I do mean A LOT) of people subscribe to podcasts regularly but are still uncertain as to whether or not it’s worth all the effort.
从市场营销的角度来看，结合WordPress网站的播客对网站所有者而言更为有利，因为两者可以互相促进，并且覆盖的范围是两倍。 在这一点上，您可能已经确信，有很多人(我确实是说很多人 )定期订阅播客，但仍不确定是否值得付出所有努力。
In the next section, we’ll cover the advantages of starting your very own podcast and how it can benefit your online business.
在下一节中，我们将介绍启动您自己的播客的好处以及它如何使您的在线业务受益。
为什么今天应该开始播客 (Why You Should Start Podcasting Today)
Aside from the fact that podcasting gives online businesses an additional channel to promote their online business, this content broadcasting mechanism has an array of advantages that webmasters can leverage.
除了播客为在线业务提供了额外的渠道来促进其在线业务外，这种内容广播机制还具有网站管理员可以利用的一系列优势。
提高转化率 (Increases Conversion Rates)
Podcasting is a smart way to increase conversion rates. For instance, if you’re selling plugins or themes for WordPress, you can market your products to your podcast listeners through your show. Your site’s visitors are more likely to subscribe to emails if they know they’ll also receive regular podcast updates.
播客是提高转化率的明智方法。 例如，如果您要出售WordPress的插件或主题，则可以通过节目将产品推销给播客听众。 如果您的网站访问者知道他们还将收到定期的播客更新，则他们更有可能订阅电子邮件。
Adding personality and using a conversational tone throughout your writing builds trust between the author and the reader. Imagine the difference a podcast will make.
在整个写作过程中增加个性并使用对话语调可以建立作者与读者之间的信任。 想象一下播客将带来的变化。
吸引更多流量 (Attracts More Traffic)
Currently there are tens of millions of blogs all over the Internet whereas the number of podcasts is still a few hundred thousand. That’s a huge difference which means that there’s a whole lot of room for new entrants.
目前，Internet上有数以千万计的博客，而播客的数量仍为数十万。 这是一个巨大的差异，这意味着新进入者还有很大的空间。
Starting a podcast enables webmasters to attract more traffic to their website and make the most of popular podcasting platforms to gain recognition.
启动播客使网站管理员可以吸引更多访问其网站的流量，并充分利用流行的播客平台来获得认可。
增进与访客的互动 (Improves engagement with visitors)
An audio channel supplements your website massively in terms of building trust between your viewers (or in this case, listeners). If your site has a blog then your site’s visitors are interacting with you through the written word. Enabling visitors and readers to become listeners adds a human element to your site and your team.
音频频道在建立观看者(或本例中的听者)之间的信任方面对您的网站起到了很大的补充作用。 如果您的站点有博客，则站点的访问者正在通过文字与您进行互动。 使访问者和读者成为听众，可以为您的网站和团队增添人为的元素。
A picture may speak a thousand words and a blog may convey your message but a voice is can make all the difference when it comes to improving engagement with your visitors.
图片可能说出一千个单词，博客可能传达您的信息，但要提高与访问者的互动度，声音可以起到很大作用。
For most people, making the switch from typing words onto a text editor to speaking their heart out into a microphone is smooth and feels natural. Others may find it to be a rather daunting task. The important thing is to be comfortable in whatever you decide to choose.
对于大多数人来说，从将单词输入文本编辑器到用麦克风说出自己的心声的切换很顺畅，感觉自然。 其他人可能会发现这是一项艰巨的任务。 重要的是要适应任何您决定选择的东西。
播客入门 (Getting Started With Podcasting)
The concept of podcasting is a little overwhelming at first (believe me, I know!) and figuring out how to start is difficult. In this section of the article, I’d like to walk you through a step by step procedure on getting started with podcasting in WordPress.
播客的概念起初有点让人不知所措(相信我，我知道！)，弄清楚如何开始是很困难的。 在本文的此部分中，我想向您逐步介绍如何开始使用WordPress中的播客。
Without further ado, let’s begin!
事不宜迟，让我们开始吧！
第1步：设置WordPress网站 (Step 1: Setting up your WordPress Site)
The first step in creating a podcasting channel is to set up a WordPress site. If you don’t already have one, you can follow WordPress’ famous 5-minute install tutorial to get on board. Once your site is set up, you’ll need to select a decent hosting provider.
创建播客频道的第一步是设置WordPress网站。 如果您还没有一个，可以按照WordPress著名的5分钟安装教程上手。 建立网站后，您需要选择一个不错的托管服务提供商。
A media host is recommended because media files (audio, video, etc.) are larger than regular HTML documents. This essentially means that they will use up more resources and hosting them separately guarantees better performance. We’ll look at some WordPress-specific solutions a little later on in the next section.
建议使用媒体主机，因为媒体文件(音频，视频等)比常规HTML文档大。 从本质上讲，这意味着它们将消耗更多的资源，并分别托管它们可以确保更好的性能。 在下一节稍后，我们将介绍一些特定于WordPress的解决方案。
步骤2：工具和资源 (Step 2: Tools and Resources)
The most important asset in your podcasting career will be your microphone. The audio quality that reaches your listeners depends entirely on the microphone you use so it’s best to spend a fair amount of time (and of course, money) when buying your first microphone.
在播客生涯中，最重要的资产就是麦克风。 听众所能听到的音频质量完全取决于您使用的麦克风，因此，最好在购买第一个麦克风时花大量的时间(当然还有金钱)。
Most podcasting experts suggest that you start out with a dynamic microphone that features front-firing with rejection. This feature enables the microphone to pick up your voice and cancel out any other noises in the recording environment.
大多数播客专家建议您从动态麦克风开始，该麦克风具有前置发射和拒绝功能。 此功能使麦克风可以拾音并消除录制环境中的任何其他噪音。
Rode Podcaster USB Dynamic Microphone. Rode products are popular among many podcasters. The best part is that they are extremely handy to use and you’ll get a dynamic microphone without breaking the bank. A fair trade, I must say.
Rode Podcaster USB动态麦克风 。 Rode产品在许多播客中都很流行。 最好的部分是，它们非常易于使用，并且您会得到动圈的麦克风而不会花很多钱。 我必须说，公平交易。
Snowball USB Microphone by Blue Microphones. The Snowball USB microphone is a great choice if you’re just starting out with podcasting or are in the experimentation stage.
蓝色麦克风的Snowball USB麦克风 。 如果您只是开始播客或处于实验阶段，则Snowball USB麦克风是一个不错的选择。
Heil PR-40 Dynamic Studio Recording Microphone. The Heil PR-40 is a professional microphone used by experts. I suggest that you put off buying the Heil PR-40 until you’re comfortable with podcasting and your show really kicks it off.
Heil PR-40 Dynamic Studio录音麦克风 。 Heil PR-40是专家使用的专业麦克风。 我建议您推迟购买Heil PR-40，直到您对播客感到满意为止，并且您的节目真正开始了。
You’ll also need some other equipment like a microphone arm and a decent pair of headphones. We’ve covered the hardware aspect but a good podcasting show takes their software seriously too. Those of you using PCs won’t have to spend a dime recording (Pamela) and editing (Audacity) their podcasts. On the other hand, if you own a Mac, the recording software (Call Recorder for Skype) will cost you a few dollars but you can edit (GarageBand) free of charge.
您还需要其他一些设备，例如麦克风臂和一副像样的耳机。 我们已经介绍了硬件方面的内容，但是一场出色的播客节目也非常重视他们的软件。 那些使用PC的人不必花一毛钱录制( Pamela )并编辑( Audacity )他们的播客。 另一方面，如果您拥有Mac，则录制软件( Skype的Call Recorder )将花费您几美元，但您可以免费编辑(GarageBand)。
I recommend that you adopt a lean approach to podcasting which means that you should deliver the bare minimum first, evaluate the listeners’ response and then go forward from there. Save more by investing wisely and on time!
我建议您采用精益方法进行播客，这意味着您应该首先提供最低限度的内容，评估听众的React，然后再进行下一步。 通过明智和及时的投资节省更多！
步骤3：发布您的播客 (Step 3: Publishing Your Podcasts)
The last step is to publish your recorded podcast on a site or have it go live on iTunes. Platforms like SoundCloud and Libsyn are a great place to start. The advantage of publishing your podcast episodes on a well-known platform is that you’ll have a large pool of potential listeners right off the bat.
最后一步是在网站上发布录制的播客，或在iTunes上直播该播客。 SoundCloud和Libsyn等平台是一个很好的起点。 在知名平台上发布播客节目的好处是，您马上就能拥有大量潜在的听众。
We’ll look at some WordPress-specific publishing solutions in the next section in detail.
在下一节中，我们将详细介绍一些特定于WordPress的发布解决方案。

选择音频设备的简要指南 (A Brief Guide to Selecting Audio Gear)
The audio setup your podcast is recorded on holds central importance to how well you’ll do. When it comes to software, they’ve all got the right features in place to help you get started with podcasting. The actual hardware gear you’ll use is far more complicated though and there’s a ton of factors that should be taken into consideration before any purchases are made. Let’s go go through it step by step.
录制您的播客的音频设置对于您的工作状况至关重要。 在软件方面，他们都有正确的功能，可帮助您开始播客。 但是，您将使用的实际硬件设备要复杂得多，在进行任何购买之前，应考虑很多因素。 让我们逐步进行一下。
传声器 (Microphones)
The microphones you’ll ultimately end up choosing from for a podcast setup can largely be categorized into two categories:
您最终最终会从Podcast设置中选择的麦克风可以大致分为两类：
Condenser. These types of mics pick up even the slightest sounds and are often paired with a phantom power mixer to function properly. If you have a recording studio then you should definitely go for a condenser mic.
冷凝器。 这些类型的麦克风甚至可以听到最细微的声音，并且通常与幻像电源混合器配对以正常工作。 如果您有录音室，那么绝对应该选择电容麦克风。

音频接口 (Audio Interfaces)
If you’re running a one-man podcast show then you’re good to go with a USB microphone. Those of you who are planning on starting out with a few regular team members hosting the show with you or are planning to conduct interviews from your studio would go for a microphone with an XLR port (or multiple USB microphones, depending upon your preference). A team of podcasters is incomplete without an audio interface. Here’s a list of factors you need to take into account:
如果您正在进行单人播客节目，那么最好使用USB麦克风。 那些计划从几个固定的团队成员开始与您一起主持演出或计划从您的工作室进行采访的人，会选择带有XLR端口的麦克风(或多个USB麦克风，具体取决于您的喜好)。 没有音频接口的播客团队是不完整的。 以下是您需要考虑的因素列表：
- Number of input channels. 输入通道数。
- A USB interface to connect to your computer. USB接口，用于连接计算机。
- Your budget. 您的预算。
- Phantom power (in case of condenser microphones). 幻像电源(对于电容式麦克风)。
Let’s take a look at some of the most popular audio interface and mixer options available.

An audio interface is not a bare necessity for those of you who selected USB microphones and are the sole hosts of their podcast show. We recommend that you start out small and, if you like it, invest in a mixer or audio interface later on once you’ve got the whole podcasting thing down.
对于选择USB麦克风并且是他们播客节目的唯一主持人的人来说，音频接口并不是绝对必要的。 我们建议您从小处着手，如果您喜欢的话，等到您完成整个播客工作后，再投资购买调音台或音频接口。

如何使用SoundCloud (How to Use SoundCloud)
SoundCloud has grown to become one of the most widely used services that brings online streaming and a sense of community to a single platform enabling users to share music and podcasts. Though SoundCloud is mostly used for music, a growing number of members have started hosting their podcast shows through this powerful application.
SoundCloud已发展成为最广泛使用的服务之一，该服务将在线流媒体和社区感引入一个平台，使用户可以共享音乐和播客。 尽管SoundCloud主要用于音乐，但越来越多的成员已开始通过此功能强大的应用程序托管其播客节目。
In this section, we’ll take a look at some of the standout features SoundCloud offers and how you can broadcast your first podcast show in less than five minutes. Let’s begin.
在本节中，我们将介绍SoundCloud提供的一些出色功能，以及如何在不到五分钟的时间内播出您的第一个播客节目。 让我们开始。
步骤1：在SoundCloud上创建一个帐户 (Step 1: Create an Account on SoundCloud)
SoundCloud enables first-time users to sign up using either their email address or social media accounts (Facebook or Google).
SoundCloud使首次使用用户的电子邮件地址或社交媒体帐户(Facebook或Google)进行注册。
Once you’ve entered your credentials, tick the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy box and click Create account.
输入凭据后，在“ 使用条款和隐私政策”框中打钩，然后点击创建帐户 。
步骤2：设定播客设定档 (Step 2: Set Up Your Podcast Profile)
This step is perhaps the most crucial step in the entire process because it’ll end up defining how your users perceive your podcast show. When you’re setting up your profile on SoundCloud (or anywhere for that matter), you must keep in mind that you’re branding yourself. Everything you write will become a part of the brand you’re marketing. Here’s a quick checklist of items you should cover in the Description box:
这一步可能是整个过程中最关键的一步，因为它将最终定义用户如何看待您的播客节目。 当您在SoundCloud上(或与此相关的任何地方)设置个人资料时，必须记住要在烙印自己。 您撰写的所有内容都将成为您所营销品牌的一部分。 这是您应在“ 说明”框中涵盖的项目的快速清单：
- Your name/name of your website. 您的名称/网站名称。
- What your podcast is about. 您的播客是关于什么的。
- Who should listen to your podcast. 谁应该听您的播客。
- How listeners can benefit from it. 听众如何从中受益。
There are hundreds of pretty awesome podcasts out there. This Description box, although small, is one of the biggest platforms through which users can learn what your show is about and most importantly why they should listen to what you have to say without actually streaming it. Pat Flynn has a really good description on his podcast Smart Passive Income.
那里有数百个很棒的播客。 这说明中，虽然小，是用户通过它可以了解你的节目是关于什么的，最重要的他们为什么要听你的有什么不实际流可以说最大的平台之一。 帕特·弗林(Pat Flynn)的播客“ 聪明的被动收入”(Smart Passive Income)的描述非常好。
步骤3：上传曲目 (Step 3: Upload a Track)
Now that you’ve set up your profile, it’s time to get down to business. By clicking on the Upload button (in between the search bar and your avatar), you can choose to:
现在，您已经设置好个人资料，现在该开始做生意了。 通过单击“上传”按钮(位于搜索栏和头像之间)，您可以选择：
- Upload a file 上传一个文件
- Start a new recording 开始新录音
With a free account, you’ll be allotted a total of 180 minutes – it’s not a lot but it’s enough to get your podcast started. Once you’ve entered your track’s Basic Info (name, description, etc), switch to the next tab over Metadata that allows you to set a buy link on the track. This essentially means that you can sell your tracks instead of putting them up for free. You can even add a license to it!
使用免费帐户，您总共可以分配180分钟的时间-虽然不多，但足以开始播客了。 输入曲目的基本信息 (名称，描述等)后，切换到元数据上的下一个标签，该标签可让您在曲目上设置购买链接。 从本质上讲，这意味着您可以出售曲目，而不必免费添加。 您甚至可以为其添加许可证！
There you have it! You can have your first podcast show up and running in three simple steps.
你有它！ 您可以通过三个简单的步骤显示并运行您的第一个播客。
