To state the obvious, Podcasting is an audio medium so how it sounds is crucial. But sometimes sound design can be a lengthy and expensive process, which is fine when you have the budget and personnel to create custom music and score each episode. But for independent creators and small organizations who might not have the time or budget to do that, there’s a way to spruce up your podcast without sacrificing on quality.

On this episode of the Audience podcast, Matt talks about a 3-hour episode of Tim Ferriss’ podcast, where he and guest Chris Hutchins talk about how Tim grew The Tim Ferriss Show into what it is today. The episode is a powerful one but pretty long, so Matt highlights some of the most important bullet points for you. Using clips and commentary, Matt dives into the ten biggest lessons from that episode.

You might have heard of Tim Ferriss from his bestselling book, The 4-Hour Workweek. You might have heard his name when Fast Company listed him as the “Most Innovative Business People'' or when he was listed as one of Fortune’s “40 Under 40.” At his heart, he is an early-stage tech investor (some examples being Uber, Facebook, Shopify, Duoling, Alibaba and over fifty more), an author, and the host of The Tim Ferriss Show, which was the first interview-style business podcast to get over 100 million downloads. He knows his stuff.

On this episode of the Audience podcast, Matt and Stuart talk about the differences and the importance of having a trailer episode or an “Episode 0.” Are they different things? The short answer is yes. The long answer involves the reasoning for using one or the other, as well as the length and content of this initial episode. Depending on the format of your podcast, you may benefit from either having an Episode 0 or a trailer. 

Listen in to get tips on how to make both of them well, suggestions on which to use depending on the content of your podcast, and why they are so beneficial. Remember the beauty and the challenge of podcasts: There are no rules but there should be an episode 0.
