  2. To start editing, upload your audio file to the Hubhopper Studio Editor. You can use features like trim, duplicate and merge in the studio to edit your audio.

  3. When you finish editing and are happy with your episode, click 'download'. You will get an MP3 format of your audio file. 

  4. Click on 'Add your media file here' to put your file in the system. Make sure it's not over 200 MB.

  5. Then, hit 'Upload & Publish'. Choose where you want to share and it'll be sent out everywhere you picked.
