clear that podcasting is one of the popular and powerful marketing
tools. With increasing mobile usage, podcasting had gained more
attention. It has become an alternative to video marketing as small
businesses do not have the suitable equipment to shoot videos as it
involves lighting, sound etc. This is where the podcast becomes
prominent.

microphone and headphone. Editing software is simple and freely
available and once it is ready, it can be uploaded on the website for
