One of my favourite things to do here at Bamby Media is run consultations for aspiring podcasters.

We jump into a virtual meeting together and I get giddy with excitement while they explain their idea for a show.

Then we get down to business and I start asking the harder questions.

Why do they want to start a podcast?

Who is it for?

How will their podcast be any different to others in their field?

Where are they going to record their podcast?

Who is going to do the editing?

The point of me asking these questions is not to overwhelm them, it’s to make sure they’ve thought it all through. Because there are plenty of people who start a podcast on a whim, get 7 or so episodes in and then realise they can’t keep up. 

From the hundreds of podcasts we’ve worked with, I’ve seen the value of a long-standing podcast and I know that a proper plan goes a long way.

Our role here at Bamby Media is to help podcasters launch and produce their shows and grow their influence. It takes time, strategy and a significant investment to create the type of podcast that will create engaged listeners. 

Today, I’m running through the full step-by-step of how I recommend you start a podcast in 2024 and beyond.
