Overcome your fears and start that podcast, with Becca Ingersoll

What if my friends turn against me?
What if, what if, what if.
As a podcaster I’ve had these thoughts, and I’d bet that you have probably had something similar.

Cultivating a Community Off-Air with Carla Ward
One of the best things I did last year was fly from New Zealand all the way over to Perth in Western Australia for a podcast listener meetup. I’d met just a couple of other people who I knew would be there, but everyone else would be a new connection - including the people I was sharing an air bnb with.
Was I worried? Not at all, in fact I was so excited to be meeting people who had the same interest as me.
That trip, and the people I met, will stick with me for as long as I live.

Lauren Wrighton on how podcast managers help grow your show
" Ultimately it can come to a point where the production side of it is holding you down from putting your best message out there.

How long should your podcast episode be? Is five minutes too short? Is 90 minutes too long?
This episode will help you decide for yourself.
Is my episode too long, or too short, is a question that even seasoned podcasters ask themselves.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer for every single podcaster, but I’m going to share csome considerations to

Mikki Williden on how to get back on track after Christmas
“So often people don't feel great this time of year. They do let a lot of their habits go and feel guilty and ashamed and like they're not worth it and they've failed.
“Whereas instead you can sort of feel empowered and confident in your food decisions and also not deprived, like an element of restriction. Trying to maintain certain habits will probably always be required because otherwise it would be a free for all and you'd be eating all day.
“But it doesn't mean that you
Adventures with Cat Caldwell Myers
“It’s true that there are going to be certain places in certain spaces where you're even more alive and more aligned with the people around you. The things you're talking about, the things you're prioritising, the things that are important to you are going to be different in a community that you're really aligned in versus it's a community where you're finding alignment, but you're having to work really hard to find it.”

Rain Stickney on making podcasting playful
“I had a good friend who was a podcaster, and he always encouraged me to start a show, but of course it took many, many, many years until I was ready, but there were little seeds planted along the way.
“It's still an experiment, and it always was an experiment, and I feel very in touch with my creativity. And so, rather than having a plan where this is the way it is, it's much more of a creative process and flow for me.”

Tammie Chrin on self-publishing
“Social media was getting very hard to attract people to see your content. I felt there was a time where it was just really a waste of my time and podcasting seemed like a better fit and to be able to get to a specific audience that I wanted to speak to. I decided to create the podcast so that people could listen to it when they wanted, how they wanted, and go from there, and it's been a game changer for sure.”

How to podcast and build a community with Allison and Julie from the Podlander Drunkcast
“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 co

Raising Athletes with Kirsten Jones
“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.”
