Quotes
- If you do want to start a podcast, make sure that you’ve got someone with knowledge who can help you with planning properly and really push you.
- Something that’s really struck me is that most of my episodes with guests have not been the most widely listened to.
- You can also use your blogs as a content generator to give you ideas for things to talk about in future episodes.
- Don’t get too hung up on statistics, instead use them to make informed decisions about your podcast and what you do.
- Planning my content in advance was super helpful. It allowed me to be flexible and adapt during the pandemic.
