How To Share Radio Clips to Social Media

How to share audio content from your radio show or podcast on social media

As Broadcasters continue to explore ways to engage their audience off the airwaves (especially in the digital space), social media is becoming an important channel for radio shows & broadcasters to get right. Especially given that the average person will spend nearly two hours (approximately 116 minutes) on social media every day! (Social Media Today) Unfortunately, social media doesn’t cater well to audio which makes sharing radio audio difficult.

As an audio creator, you have an unfair advantage: Lots of audio. You can use that audio content to your advantage by turning it into video for Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Twitter, & more. By clipping audio segments from your show and turning them into short videos, you can share radio content directly on social media and drive traffic to your website, show, or podcast. This post will explain how to use Wavve to clip segments from your radio show or podcast and share it on social media, like this:
