Podcast Studio is the all-in-one way to record, edit, and publish your podcasts. Instead of managing “tracks”, “effects”, and spending time with repetitive editing, Podcast Studio can do all the work for you and make podcasting easy and fun. Connect your participants to your podcast by adding them as people — not as “tracks”.
Podcasts are free audio shows that you can stream and play on your Mac. You can listen to individual episodes, or you can subscribe to a show so that new episodes are automatically downloaded as they become available.
