From Idea to Episode
Every podcast starts with an idea. Define your niche and think about the audience you want to reach. Research similar shows, explore what works, and what is missing. Planning early will save time during production.
Next, create a content plan. Outline 5–10 initial episodes, topics, and potential guests. Organize your workflow to ensure consistency and quality across episodes.
Consistency is key. Listeners appreciate a schedule they can rely on.
