There are more than 2 million different shows on Apple Podcasts, so it can be easy to feel daunted if you are making a podcast for the first time.
Freelance journalist Iris Pase provides some helpful tips to polish up your podcast, including the many mistakes to avoid when making a podcast, writing for IJNet.
