Dear Abby, but make it pods!

Podcast questions - we all have ‘em, whether we’ve been at the podcasting game for a while or we’re just starting out. Since our goal here at PodMakers is to equip you with as much knowledge as possible for you to make empowered podcasting decisions, we opened our little ears up for some of those burning questions!

With Carin’s expertise in all things production, editing, and tech as well as the internal work it takes to get to the mic in the first place…

And Kacey’s expertise in how to market your business through intentional podcast content and grow your reach organically as a podcast guest…

We tag-teamed your Dear Abby/Dear PodMakers podcast questions one by one, and we go deep to show you that podcasting is first and foremost a creative endeavor. 

Seems obvious, right? But it’s easy to forget in the world of online business marketing that creativity, artistry, and our own specific footprint is what truly makes the magic.

(Not the tech gadgets or the content formulas or the intro-outro music, as fun as those components are ;)

But even once we decide to start a podcast or revisit our existing podcast strategy, it opens up a whole other host of questions. What’s our purpose? Who are we speaking to? And how can we harness our own human brain and make it work for us in a way that we can pod smarter, not harder? 

We got so many great submissions that this is just part one of our podcast questions two-fer episode. We combine our personal experience working with clients in the podcast space as well as our firsthand experience AS podcasters to speak to a wide range of topics, including:

Licensing for intro/outro music [4:06]

Copyrighting your podcast name [9:50]

Consistency in podcast recording: what it really means and what we make it mean [16:25]

When you should DIY your editing/producing versus hire a professional like Carin [16:35]

How to gauge a podcast’s “success” - is it metrics or something deeper? [19:39]

The internal emotional and mindset work we all face in order to show up and share our voice [30:10]

We can’t wait to dive deep with you and support you along your pod making journey.
