In Da Cloud
While we mainly know SoundCloud as a place to find potential superstars (or duds who can't stop preaching about "real" rap), you may not have known that it can also be used to record your podcasts. Tech blog Makeuseof perfectly covers why Soundcloud is fantastic for podcasts, with its wide library, recognition and reasonable price of $12 USD per month for detailed creator controls bundled with the most amount of storage space, perfect for those episodes that drag on! With detailed statistics that show you just how popular you are alongside deep customisation and a simple, user-friendly interface, you'll find SoundCloud to be the perfect place to fulfil your Joe Rogan fantasy. You may not be as interesting as him, but count us in if you can get somebody on your podcast that makes us laugh like Joey Diaz. Besides, if Soundcloud was good enough for Post Malone and Billie Eilish, we're sure it's good enough for you!

Spreaking While Speaking
You can have the greatest features in an app, but if it isn’t simple to use, you can expect it to turn away users.

We’re quite impressed with how it’s described on the Google Play Store, outlined as a detailed and flexible creator that appeals to any type of podcaster, whether they’re the gruff, seasoned pro or the beginner that’s still wet behind the ears, you can expect an experience tailored to your expertise. Its never been simpler to edit your recordings to perfection and you even get real-time stats to show you just how cool (or lame) your episodes are.

Made In A Lab
Regardless of how engaging your podcast is, bad quality audio will turn away even the biggest purists. The AudioLab App as described on the Google Play Store, promises to make your audio clear and easy on the ears. It offers the standard audio recording features, but what makes this app truly stand out is its ability to support pretty much every audio file format while giving you the power to trim and mix your audio with sound effects such as echoes, 3d Audio alongside transcribing and even removing unwanted background noise!

As any podcaster who’s been in the game long enough will tell you, poor quality equals fewer followers, making AudioLab an essential download for any budding podcaster.
