Hey, Podcasters!
While reviewing applications for our Start Podcasting cohort, I noticed a pattern: a lot of people have great podcast ideas! While it can be easy to come up with the concept, it’s actually hitting publish that can hold new podcasters back.
That’s why, in this week’s episode of Buzzcast, we decided to start a podcast from scratch in (almost) real time.
I join in on the conversation as we work through my own podcast idea step by step, asking the same questions new podcasters wrestle with every day.
If you’ve been sitting on a podcast idea or are feeling overwhelmed by where to start, this episode shows how doable the process really is!
