Want to know how to start a podcast? We're running an experiment in (almost) real time to see if we can create a brand new podcast in one Buzzcast episode.
Megan from Buzzsprout Weekly joins us as we work through her concept and niche, to format, equipment, software, artwork, and launching. We walk through the exact decisions we’d make if we were starting a podcast today!
If you’ve been sitting on a podcast idea, feeling overwhelmed, or trying to convince a friend to finally hit publish, this episode shows you exactly how doable starting a podcast really is!
