I have started a podcast in an area I really care about. It's niche and the audience is likely to be small, I don't expect to ever make money, but I'm passionate about the need to have conversations around this topic.

This is the first content creation thing I've done, compared with the technicalities of work (think engineering).

I'm swinging between excitement to podcast and write and think, then struggling with the tedium of day to day stuff. I'm spending too much time on the podcast, but have episodes booked with guests to record coming up. I'm checking my stats constantly craving to hear what people think.

Is this a phase? Will compartmentalising become easier when the initial excitement wears off?

What is your biggest tip for someone who wants to start a podcast?

We started our podcast about 4 months ago, we do mainly true crime but also musicians and food influencers from Louisiana. We have about 50k followers on Facebook and 10k on tiktok. We made a media kit and started sending it out to local businesses for paid ad reads but haven't had any luck landing and sponsors. Any suggestions?

This is simple tool, just upload a doc or tell and idea what the podcast should be about, it imagines and generates multi-speaker real sounding podcast episode.

Hey everyone,
I recently started a show called “Mastering Adolescents” focused on helping teenagers build themselves before they enter adulthood.
The first episode is about something I think a lot of young people struggle with:
Feeling behind and not knowing where to start.

I’m giving out free test accounts in exchange for honest feedback.

Just to be clear, this is self-promo, so feel free to ignore it.

I’m a new podcaster, and my first 10-minute episode took about 30 minutes to edit. The second took 45. By the third, I was spending around 90 minutes on it.

The audio itself wasn’t getting worse. I was just becoming more particular about every pause, breath, and small mistake.

So I built an app to handle the basic first pass automatically. You click once, it does the standard cleanup, and then you can make any manual changes you still want.

I’m not trying to claim it replaces a professional editor. I mainly want to see where it works, where it fails, and what actual podcasters would want improved.

I’m offering free test accounts to anyone willing to give honest feedback. Harsh feedback is completely welcome.

Comment or DM me and I’ll send you access.

Mods, apologies if this goes against the self-promotion rules. I’m happy to remove it.

I’m relatively new to podcasting (6 published episodes at the moment, 2 in the pipeline). Started after a layoff to keep myself busy while I look for the next full time gig. So far I’ve been looking at audio downloads to measure success, but now I’ve got some video versions on YouTube not included in the stats of my platform podcast subscription, since I don’t want to pay for their video tier.

Then I’ve got social media views for shorts. It’s just feeling like I have artifacts all over and no centralized stats dashboard. I guess I could make one myself in Claude down the line, but does something already exist? How are you all keeping a pulse on how your pod is performing, and what stats do you think matter?

My goal has mainly been to have fun while connecting with cool techy creatives through my pod, but I’d also like to increase my audience so more people hear my guests’ stories on how they’re building passive income alongside their day jobs.

I’m also using my pod to create visibility for myself as a professional to get seen by more recruiters and hiring managers. So far it’s working, but I keep thinking how I can do better. Open to ideas.

I am relatively new to podcasting. I would like to add sound bites from sports and politics. Does anyone know where I can find 15-30 second clips to download to include as free use?

Hey all, I’m a retired remodeling contractor/ carpenter. I given thought to doing a podcast where I take questions regarding anything about your home etc. I would like to demonstrate how to do certain aspects of home improvements: ceramic tile/ installing a door etc etc. Can this be done with visual? I plan to interact and use humor. My African grey ( Jake) will assist me from my shoulder. Is this even allowed? How do I start? Do you think it’s a good idea? Please comment, good bad ideas questions critique criticism etc. Thanks for listening 💕

Hey everyone!

I just released Episode 3 of my podcast, "Odd Fellas Tamil Podcast."

This episode is about my weight loss journey, the challenges I faced, and what I learned along the way.

Thanks for checking it out! ❤️

Across this series, we explore the nature of reality, the soul’s journey before birth, the veil of forgetting, the creation of personal reality, beliefs and consciousness, life catalysts, the transition out of the body, and humanity’s evolving relationship with awareness and existence.

This is not a podcast about telling you what to believe.

It is an invitation to question what you think you know, look within, and explore the possibility that the answers you seek may already exist within you.

Hi everybody, my manager is looking to invest in a video mixer for some studio shows and podcast recordings and we’re looking for the best bang for our buck.

Does anyone here have any experience with the extreme iso G2 since it’s relatively new and can tell me what it’s like to use on a daily basis?
Pros, cons, shortcomings, realistic workflow etc

I found this posting on Facebook marketplace and I was wondering if this was good equipment to get started podcasting with. They’re asking $80 for the whole set and was also wondering if that was a good deal or not.

Also if I decided to buy this equipment would I need to purchase or software would I need to use for editing?

Thanks in advance for any advice or tips!

We’re a new True Crime and Paranormal podcast focusing on systems that are corrupt and fail the population they’re supposed to serve. We are just getting started and audio is not great but we’re learning ways to improve. Give us a listen and please share out to people to help get us rolling!

I assume you just need your Computer and a camera. I am renting a room at the Brown Co Library(Green Bay, Wi), to show the SOLUTION to the Jon benet Ramsey case.......LETS GO!!!!!!!

I have interviewed over 150 senior leaders in marketing, media, advertising and technology at this point, and I think it’s great content (because of the guests, not me).

Not sure if that counts as self promotion though? 🤷🏻‍♂️

for anybody using opus or one of these other clipping tools, whats a feature/set of features you wish it had? or something about it thats just annoying

Hey all,

Starting my first podcast narrative history connecting past events to today. Total beginner (USB mic, laptop, quiet room).

Main question: Audio-only or add video from Day 1?

Quick hits:

1. Does video actually help history storytelling or just add work?
   
2. Will audio-only kill my discovery on YouTube/TikTok?
   
3. Video podcasters—what's the #1 hidden time-suck?

I want to grow but not burn out. What's the smart move for a solo newbie?

Thanks!
