Wow, what an absolutely amazing resource this has been! Been contemplating starting a local podcast covering industry leaders back here in India and this has been really helpful! Thank you for the tips!

Hey Caitlin,

That’s awesome you’re thinking of starting.

I think it will really depend on your goals and what you want to do with your business. If your friend is more interested in business talk and potentially wants to help coach people then that’s perfect for her. Equally a lifestyle based podcast may be great to connect with her audience to then naturally offer her services (if she takes pics of families/ lifestyle stuff)

But unfortunately, the answer is it really depends. What is your current blog/ business based on?

Hey Mike,
I’ve been thinking of starting a podcast and I’m noticing that several entrepreneurs in my city are doing this. I’m curious, what are your thoughts about going off-brand for a podcast? For example, I know a photographer in my town who has started a podcast about leveling up in your business and personal life. It’s much more lifestyle based and doesn’t really center around her photography business at all. I’m having a hard time deciding how I want my podcast to look – more lifestyle based or all business consulting. Thanks for all these tips! I’ll definitely use these moving forward!

Podcasting is great! I just recently created a podcast using Zencast, and now my content is on Spotify, Apple, and Google Podcasts. And I’ve used their materials to create my own podcast blog. Great post!

Yeah for sure — if you’d like to add copy just shoot it over and where you’d like to insert (perhaps highlight in red?) and I’ll get it in there.

Yeah, I dunno to be completely honest. I should back up and say I almost never have this problem but I did a recorded screen call the other day with someone on Skype and the sound quality was horrific (even though the other person could hear me just fine/sound quality was good). His sound was fine so it must have been 1) something on my end or 2) Skype.

Either way, bummer we spent an hour and it turned out that way.

Hmmm very odd. What tool do you use to record?

For example, Audacity does this to me unless I have headphones in but other things like Screencast-O-Matic doesn’t need it.

It’s probably that whatever you are recording on has the “sound output” set to your laptop speakers and just causes a horrible feedback loop (it may even just be the sound settings on your laptop)

In reply to Pete McPherson.

Thanks, Pete.

I would like to point everyone in the direction of Pete’s amazing video that he released yesterday (how weird!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jtoq9MC7ENo

It breaks down all the podcast hosting servers in way more detail and even shows you that RedCircle is actually now free (with no uploading limits!)

I had no idea about this when I wrote this post and only saw Pete’s video yesterday so it’s a bit of a no brainer…and I will be switching as soon as my annual membership runs out.

Defo watch Pete’s video for more info… Ben, can we add this into the post/can I edit it?
