Shownotes

In this episode, we’re getting into the fun details - we’re going to design our podcast. This is a really fun step, where your podcast will start coming together properly as you start to piece together all the exciting ideas you’ve had and form it into something concrete. What do we mean by ‘designing’ a podcast? Let’s talk through the steps.

I’ll be joined by my special guest, CEO & co-founder of Rebel Base Media, and owner of podcast hosting platform Captivate.fm, Poductivity, Podcast Websites and of course, Podcast Success Academy.

This episode's milestone:

Head to pages 5-6 of your Podcast Accelerator crib sheet! Get thinking about your listener avatar and XYZ statement as a foundation for designing the rest of your podcast. With these details in mind (and it doesn’t have to be perfect the first time, just something to focus on!), it’ll be so much easier to plan content, design cover art/choose music, market our podcast and find sponsorship down the line. 

What can you expect from this podcast?

I’m your host, Rachel, Content Executive at Captivate. It’s my job to help podcasters like you start, launch and grow your podcasts using free education and resources.

Over the course of this series, I’ll be joined from time to time by special guest Mark Asquith, CEO and co-creator of Captivate, who'll lend his expertise and advice. Over the next 8 episodes, we’ll be sharing the strategies, mindsets and steps to help you design, build, produce and run a successful, sustainable podcast with zero jargon or guesswork.
