Podcast hosting platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts all support OGG. It's the safe choice for distribution.
For spoken word, 128kbps mono is plenty. Music-heavy podcasts benefit from 192kbps stereo. AudioUtils lets you choose the right balance of size and quality.
Record in the highest quality your setup allows. Convert to your distribution format once, at the end. Every extra conversion degrades lossy audio slightly.
