GEEKOUT:

How to podcast - from a couple of guys that have been doing it since the beginning.

1. Listen to a lot of podcasts

2. Make it about something you care a lot about

3. It would help if that topic is something there aren't a million podcasts about already - (there are plenty of shows about politics for example)

4. Don't script

5. But have topics that you are familiar with to talk about.

6. Have a cohost

7. Show your sense of humor... let your audience get to know you.

8. Have guests, but not too soon.
