In this episode, I am going to answer one of my most asked questions: How much time do I need to podcast? So this episode will answer that question and also give you some podcasting tips for your own process for running your podcast efficiently.
When researching an episode, I spend a maximum of 30 minutes gathering accurate information. My solo episodes run 10-20 minutes while my guest interviews last up to 60 minutes. I aim for a 1:1 ratio between recording and editing time. So if an episode takes 20 minutes to record, I'll spend 20 minutes editing it.
For promotional content, I lean on tools like Canva and Summarize. In about an hour a week, I can create social captions, graphics and short video clips. I'm most active in engaging with other podcasters on Twitter.
To interview guests smoothly, I set up automated booking links, research each guest beforehand, and prepare 3-4 potential questions. This prep ensures an on-topic, professional discussion.
Listen in for more tips to make your podcasting production process run as smoothly as possible.
