For 2024, I brought the Ken On Food podcast back to life with a short series called Food In 5 Minutes. If I can do it, anyone can do it.
After a one-year run in that particular format, it’s now parked, with a view to returning later this year in a new seasonal-style approach with longer episodes over a shorter run. I also plan on returning to work on a number of previous podcast projects, including the UR Podcast series produced with Urban Gym. 2025 seems like a good year to tackle all things podcasting.
If starting a podcast in 2025 has been on your agenda, then you’re in luck.
Over the course of the next five weeks, with the support of one post a week, I’m going to guide you through how you can research, prepare, record and launch your first podcast. This short course doesn’t cost you anything, and doesn’t require you to sign up for any newsletters or ‘limited time’ offers. Check back on the blog each Friday for the month of January and you’ll find a new post ready and waiting to guide you on your next step of the journey.
What happens after that is up to you.
What to expect
This new, short series of posts, is aimed at podcast listeners, those with an idea bubbling below the surface for something they would like to try, but are struggling to put all the pieces together. If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
Divided into five segments (you can click the links below to find the posts now), you’ll learn about
- Choosing your niche, topic or focus
- Planning your podcast episodes
- Getting the right podcast equipment and software
- Recording and editing your first podcast episode
- Publishing and promoting your podcast
The list isn’t exhaustive by any means but for newcomers to the space, you’ll find plenty of useful information, tips, tricks and suggestions that you can use to make your journey from podcast hopeful to podcaster a good one.
If you’ve got any questions along the way, leave a comment on any of the posts.
And happy new year!
Update: As an added bonus, to round out the series, here are five tips for beginners on the podcasting front, just a little something to keep in mind if you’re going to be investing your time and resources in the process.
