In Episode 10, I discuss what I wish knew before launching Dear Creators. Here are a few things to consider as you set out on your podcasting journey:

(* = Bonus notes that weren't mentioned in the episode)

1) How much time it takes to edit an episode

  • Creating a podcasting system

  • Outsourcing post-production tasks

2) The importance of practicing before you launch

  • Recording test episodes

  • Being okay with doing all the talking (solo episodes can be challenging for non-talkative people)*

 

3) Choosing a theme or topic that you care about

4) Pre-production considerations

  • Researching

  • Preparing an outline

  • Scheduling guests*

5) Expecting the unexpected

  • Modifying your content

  • Going with the flow

6) Presentation of show notes

  • Sneak peek?

  • Recap?

  • Transcript?

7) The style and format

  • Deciding on the general structure of each episode

  • Choosing to leave room for flexibility

8) Having at least 2-3 episodes ready before your launch date*

 
 

Obviously, you'll need to choose a mic, theme music, hosting, and other podcasting basics, but what's equally, if not more important is remembering the work that goes into running a podcast.

If you've already launched a podcast, let me know what you wish you'd known before creating your show! I'd love to hear about your podcasting experience.
