**The Retired Podcaster** is for anyone who has reached retirement — or is getting close — and has wondered whether they could make a podcast of their own.I’m David, I’m 73, retired, and I’ve spent much of my working life around radio, broadcasting and microphones. These days, I still make podcasts simply because I enjoy making audio and telling stories.In the first few episodes, I’ll take you through the basics of getting started: finding something to talk about, becoming comfortable with your own voice, making your first recording, choosing equipment, editing and eventually publishing your first podcast.After that, we’ll simply talk about podcasting — microphones, storytelling, interviewing, ideas, mistakes, things I’ve learned and whatever else seems worth discussing.There’s nothing to buy and no complicated formula to follow.Just one retired podcaster talking to another about how enjoyable making a podcast can be.You’re never too old to press record.
