G+T Catch-up:

  • Germany is hosting the EURO 2024: https://www.uefa.com/euro2024/


    • Some of the things we mentioned in this episode:

    • Podmasters Conclave and Awards 2024
    • India is the third largest podcast industry in the world (after US and China).
    • Only 12% of Indians (150 million users) currently listen to podcast = huge potential for growth in the industry.
    • AI in Podcasting: from writing your episode titles to AI voices "hosting" your (non-fiction) podcast
    • Audio vs Video Podcasting

      • Some podcasts we mentioned in this episode:

      • The Corner Flag by Amogh Ranadive
      • A Niche Thing by Aneesh Bhasin
      • Shuddh Desi Gay by Yogi and Kabeer

        • HOW TO START A PODCAST:

        • Finalize your topic (what can you talk about for 30, 40, 50 episodes?) and format (co-host, guests, etc?)
        • You can start with audio only and add video later
        • Make sure you have enough time to start a podcast (from research and recording to editing, publishing and promoting)
        • Decide the length of your episode (most podcasts with shorter episodes are more successful).
        • Keep a regular publishing schedule (helps your listeners and the algorithm).
        • Tech: you can start a podcast without expensive tech and simply use your phone/laptop.
        • What we use for our podcast: Zoom (recording), Audacity (editing) and Spotify for Podcasters (publishing).
        • Social Media: promote your podcast episodes, share teasers, interact with your listeners, etc.
