Starting an Apple Podcast involves several steps. Here's a general guide:

1. **Create Your Content**: First, you need to create your podcast. This involves planning your content, recording it, and editing it to ensure it's high-quality and engaging for your audience.

2. **Save Your Podcast in the Correct Format**: Apple Podcasts require your audio to be in the MPEG-4 Audio format (.m4a), MP3 format (.mp3), or in the MPEG-4 format (.mp4, .m4v, .mov) for video podcasts. Your podcast should also have a bitrate of 64 kbps or higher for mono audio, or 128 kbps or higher for stereo audio.

3. **Create Your Podcast's RSS Feed**: You'll need to create an RSS feed for your podcast. This feed will contain all the information about your podcast, including the title, description, artwork, and episodes. You can create an RSS feed using a podcast hosting platform.

4. **Submit Your Podcast to Apple Podcasts**: Once your podcast and RSS feed are ready, you can submit your podcast to Apple Podcasts through Podcasts Connect. You'll need an Apple ID to do this. Once you've logged in, click the "+" button to add a new podcast, then paste your RSS feed URL into the provided field. Apple will then review your podcast, which can take up to a few days.

5. **Promote Your Podcast**: Once your podcast is live on Apple Podcasts, you can start promoting it to attract listeners.

Remember, creating a successful podcast takes time and effort, but with dedication and quality content, you can build a strong audience. Good luck!
