You’re all set to release your podcast to the world, but how on earth does this happen? 

This is the how to podcast series, a mini series under the umbrella of the Women Who Podcast show.

This episode we’re going to talk about where to host your podcast.

You need three things for a podcast, the first is the idea, the second is somewhere to make it and the third is somewhere to host it.

The idea: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-start-a-podcast-the-idea/id1653722280?i=1000624993275 

Recording: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-record-an-episode/id1653722280?i=1000637328919 

How does hosting work?

A podcast host, or server, is the place where you upload your finished episodes and add your shownotes. 

You have one host and then you can connect to other podcast directories.

Here are some podcast hosting services:

Got any questions? Please get in touch by email, [email protected], or send in a voice message.

HOW TO RECORD

This episode we’re going to delve into recording an episode, the next step in getting on air. 

You’ve got your first guest ready, they have said yes, you know what you want to talk about with them but that’s as far as you’ve got.

This episode will go through some of the recording options available to you. Below are links to all those mentioned.

“We're a niche market, but the opportunity to connect with other people, was a really big draw. It certainly increased our support level, but also was just such a boon to us personally, and to a lot of other folks, to have this community of weirdos who wanted to joke around and do all kinds of wild things.

“I'm so grateful to Patreon for making it easy, not only to offset the costs of making the show that we love doing so much, but also for making it so much easier to connect with the community. I don't know how else that would have come about. I'm so grateful for it.” 

Our featured podcast host in this episode are Allison Shoemaker and Julie Starbird, hosts of Podlander Drunkcast.

What they say about Podlander Drunkcast:

A slightly tipsy exploration of each episode of the STARZ series OUTLANDER

This is a slightly longer episode than normal and one that I actually recorded a couple of months ago but due to my own episode time limit of 25 minutes I didn’t want to edit this one.

And so with a focus now on talking about the podcasting process, things like Patreon, mistakes made, etc, I wanted to get this conversation heard.

“I think the most important thing that I needed to hear over and over and over, because I would hear it in the course that I took, but I needed to keep hearing it, is I am absolutely, you are absolutely qualified, like the world needs what you have.

And even if there is another podcast on whatever it is that you want to talk about, no one can do it like you.”

Our featured podcast host in this episode is Brandi Kelly, host of The Sober Bartender.

What Brandi says about The Sober Bartender:

The Sober Bartender is a journey through recovery. Not just from alcohol, but recovery from life. Every day we face circumstances outside our control. On this podcast we explore new perspectives and seek the solution as opposed to living in the problem. Hear my story on how hitting the bottom led me to climb to the top, as well as stories and interviews with people healing and growing despite challenges and limitations. This show is about HOPE. Shifting perspectives and becoming willing to see things differently. This show is for anyone who wants to grow through instead of go through.

“One of my teachers when I was in high school, and this has always stuck with me, but she said, my job is to make sure that when you leave this classroom, you know more than when you walked in.

“And I used that as a guide for my own teaching. And I use that as a guide for podcasting. When the listener is done with the episode, do they know more than when they started and enjoy the experience along the way, maybe even laugh a bit.” 

Our featured podcast host in this episode is Gwendolyn Dalske, host of Good Is In The Details.

Welcome to Women Who Podcast the podcast for women who have something to say.

My name is Alison Fraser and this podcast is for women who are either already podcast hosts or are just starting out.

Each episode is aimed at giving you the confidence boost you need to get started - and to keep going - as well as to create a sisterhood of women already doing it.

I’m a firm believer in leaving the ladder down, in helping women take the shortcut to success so they can change even more lives.

Women Who Podcast, and the podcasts that came before it, has always been about voices and helping them get heard. But after speaking to so many podcasters and hearing similar stories of having the courage to just start I know that Women Who Podcast can help even more.

You can expect to hear interviews from women already podcasting but also other experts in their field who can help you and your podcast have an even bigger impact.

As women we often have something to say, but not always the courage to say it.

This is your time. This is your permission to use the voice you have to help others.

So give Women Who Podcast a subscribe and if you want to join our sisterhood look us up on patreon.

“I like to say competence builds confidence. So at first you don't have any confidence so you feel like an imposter because you’re new, you're a beginner, but the more reps you do, the more you feel strongly about it and the less bothered you are about it cutting out or whatever, you know, whatever thing might happen as it does. And the more you just kind of get on with it and let it go.

“And then I feel like it kind of takes on a life of its own. And it's now really just fun.”

Our featured podcast host in this episode is Kirsten Jones, co-host of #RaisingAthletes.
