Starting a Podcast: What to Expect

Starting a podcast takes planning and preparation. You’ll need to learn the tech, face personal fears like public speaking, and stay on top of the workload to produce regular, quality episodes. Setting a launch date, practising with test interviews, and planning ahead can help you feel more confident and ready to hit the ground running.

Growing Your Reach and Building Connections

A podcast can open doors to new opportunities. You might get noticed for awards, or be invited to events and interviews. Hosting or being a guest on podcasts helps you build connections and collaborate with others in your industry, creating chances to grow your practice.

Staying Consistent and Building Community

Running a podcast means sticking with it to keep the content flowing. But it’s about more than episodes—it's about creating a space where people connect. Your podcast becomes a way to build lasting relationships.
