Episode Highlights

  • Getting Started

    Starting a podcast can be daunting, but and offer practical advice to make the process smoother. They emphasize the importance of keeping episodes short and tightly edited, especially for beginners. Jordan suggests avoiding unnecessary elements like musical beds and voice-over introductions to maintain focus on content quality 1.

    Keep them like 20 minutes, to begin with, because it's really hard to keep 20 minutes interesting when you are new.

    Additionally, they recommend releasing episodes bi-weekly to keep the podcast manageable and enjoyable rather than a chore.

       

    Ownership Issues

    Ownership of your podcast content is crucial, especially if you're using company resources. Jordan warns that employers might claim ownership if the podcast is created during work hours or using company equipment. He advises getting written agreements to clarify ownership and using personal resources to avoid disputes 2.

    Be very careful if it's even just in your industry and you're making it at home and you're employed by this company, they still might own it or have a claim to it.

    Jason adds that if the company funds the podcast, it could be a valuable learning opportunity, but you must be okay with not owning the intellectual property.

       

    Community Building

    Building an online community around your podcast can significantly enhance engagement and loyalty. Jason shares his positive experience using Mighty Networks to create a dedicated podcast community. He highlights the platform's tools for interaction and monetization, making it easier to manage and grow a community 3.

    Mighty Networks has been great for this because you're not under the thumb of one of these social networks that are going to take all of your friends' data and sell it back to them.
