Podcasting is not as easy as people think. It may be simple to record audio and upload it to a platform, but how do you come up with good quality content week on week? What about if you want to record a video podcast? How do you actually promote your podcast and make sure it's heard by your target audience?

These are all the difficult things about podcasting and I cover what I've learned from my experience recording Season 1 of No Bullsh*t Talks.
