Many small podcasts sit behind a single-language barrier even though short, translated clips can unlock new discovery and partnerships. The Micro‑Translation Kit is a compact, monologue‑friendly playbook that teaches solo hosts how to pick one episode, extract 2–3 promotable 20–45s moments, produce quick machine+human translations, and publish a minimal set of translated assets (captioned clip, translated caption file, and localized show lead) to test demand in a new language. PodRick walks through ethical checks for quotes and rights, machine‑translation hygiene, a 10‑minute publish checklist, and a tiny experiment design so you can judge lift with low traffic. You’ll hear before/after examples of an English clip plus a polished translated caption pass, get exact on‑air permission lines to read to guests, and a conservative micro‑challenge: ship one translated clip this week and visit newpodcity.com/translate‑kit to download templates and a short reviewer checklist.
