You want to start a podcast, but the process feels daunting.

Before you get distracted by the expensive gear you think you need and all the monetising opportunities you’ve heard of, plan your first episodes.

Then you’ll feel ready to podcast.

And if you follow the 10 exercises in this book, you’ll even have a plan!

Take that first STEP:

Plan your first ten EPISODES.

Craft your host PERSONA.

  • Choose a format (or two!).
  • Find out how to set up your show and push it out to the world.
  • Figure out what resources you’ll need to create your audio files.

  • Plan your episode structure.
  • Craft your first words and your episode’s close.
  • Work on your persona: who are you to your listeners?
