Add Custom Covers to Podcasts
made using Anchor

Anchor - https://anchor.fm/ - has become a favourite tool, within education, for creating podcasts.

In a matter of minutes Educators and/or their learners can have their first podcast episode recorded, edited, and published (watch the video at https://www.youtube.com/embed/8NfKlcP_Yxg  to see how easy it is).

This can all be done...

• on a laptop - https://anchor.fm/ 
• on your phone 
• Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fm.anchor.android - or 
• iOS - https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1056182234?mt=8 or 
• on an iPad - https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1056182234#?platform=ipad

Yes, I've posted about this in the past but, Anchor have added a new feature, in the form of "Cover Art".

Here’s how it works...

• Find an image. Choose a photo from the Unsplash library by searching for the keyword(s) relevant to the podcast. Once you've picked the one you like best, you can zoom and crop the image however you like. (You can also, of course, upload your own image.)
• Style the text. Now you can add the podcast’s title to the image with a custom design. You can get creative with text options, by customising the font, shape, placement, and colour of the podcast title.

If you haven’t started your own podcasts yet, it's worth checking out the "How to Start a Podcast" guide for tips and tricks on how to make something awesome with Anchor https://www.youtube.com/embed/L5P1eQV7LKs

This update to Anchor is one that those of us already making podcasts on Anchor will appreciate, as we can now add a bit more of our personal styles to the podcasts.

If you give Custom Covers to your Podcasts using Anchor a try or have already used Custom Covers for your Podcasts using Anchor, do share your feedback, positive and/or negative, in the comments.

Thank you.
