Building a killer podcast website doesn’t have to require a PhD in coding. Today, we’re diving into the magical land of website tools that will make your life easier and your site way cooler. Ever thought about adding an events calendar to your page? Yeah, me too! I stumbled upon this nifty tool called Elfsight that lets you whip up an events calendar faster than you can say ‘podcast launch’. It’s perfect for keeping your audience in the loop about all the fun stuff happening in your podcasting world. And guess what? You can even customize it without touching a single line of code. Just grab some code from Elfsight, paste it into your PodPage, and boom! You’ve got an events calendar that updates automatically. Talk about a time saver! Plus, if you’re on a budget, there’s a free plan to help you kick the tires. Oh, and if you’re all about making those podcast connections, we also chat about how to pick the right guests for your show. Spoiler alert: if you’re not feeling that ‘YES!’ vibe when you see a potential guest, it’s probably a no. Remember, your podcast deserves energy and excitement!
