Very few people who call identify themselves as a part of your fans will put forth minimal effort beyond basic to support your work. Don't worry about it. This is normal.

Think you've mastered podcast launching with your first? You'll see just how hard it is to do the second time around.

Any tool to help your planning is excellent, but there is no magic tool that works as a universal fix for all.

Other's podcaster's glossy websites and fancy audiograms help them promote their show over yours. It is not about how good the show is or how well it resonates with the audience. This is the selling the sizzle over the steak argument.

One of the frustrations you will find when you finally get interviewed about your podcast are the questions you are asked do not reflect well on explaining your podcast. Do some 'interviews' of yourself on your podcast and see if what narratives should work so you can steer a conversation towards a more positive angle.

Trying to be a marathon podcaster (posting more than one episode of a show within a week) can make you a standout to potential audiences, or maybe a quick ticket to burnout and giving up on podcasting. Yes, the nightly news produces content every day, but the organization behind your local or the national newsrooms is immense (and extremely expensive).

It can be a pain to change your hosting platform. Unless you see a significant boost in moving to a new one, see what you can do to fall in love, or at least kinda like, the one you are already paying money to.

You may be a podcaster looking to do your work on the cheap. You may be itching to spend big dollars on shiny new gear. All are welcome at the table of podcasting.

There are three main barriers that keep people from pulling the trigger in starting podcasting: the tech (do I have the stuff to do it), the talent (do I have the ability to do it), and the time (do I have the time/intangible resources to do it, cause money can buy time).

A question that stymies and stalls potential content creators is whether the medium is too saturated to enter. It’s not. Every year there are award winners for new entries to all media, so do what you can to be a new and influential entry into the media you choose, hopefully, podcasting.
