Awesome!!! Great advise!! I’m about to kick off my podcast. I’m in the process of recoding episodes.

[@scottmarker-treasurevalley7244]

🎉🎉 great ideas 💡 especially doing three episodes before you launch

[@Buzzsprout]

Thanks, Scott! All the best to you and to your show!

[@Just_Samson]

Solid advice Pat. Appreciate you bruh

[@jamespatrickcooper1601]

How does one "build a podcast for your listeners?" Do I find what interests them or can I come up with an idea and think people may like it? Just curious as someone interested in starting a podcast

[@Buzzsprout]

I think one thing that can help is to find your niche. Then those people who like the same things will be your listeners. Let's say; for example, your niche is basketball, Then you build a podcast for people who loves basketball. I hope that answers your question.

[@walterzimuto2295]

great advice thanks a lot ,jus a quick one what equipment do i need as a beginner basically to start OFF

[@Buzzsprout]

Excited to hear that you're finding it helpful, Walter! To kick things off, having a smartphone or computer, along with a podcast hosting service like Buzzsprout, can get you started in podcasting. If you're on a budget but still want to invest in equipment, USB microphones such as the Samson Q2U or Audio-Technica ATR 2100x are great options. Remember, starting a podcast doesn't require the most expensive gear, just the right tools that fit your needs and budget. 🙂 Feel free to check this for other recommended tools: www.buzzsprout.com/blog/podcast-setups I hope that helps, and all the best to your podcasting journey!

How do you build a podcast for your listeners...

[@ScottCoolidgestylist]

How do you create the split screen???

[@Buzzsprout]

Hey Scott! We're using Squadcast for this remote interview. But if you're wondering about the tool used to edit this short video, our marketing team worked their magic.

[@theblackgambit1]

How do you build a podcast for your listeners when you don’t have listeners because you don’t have a podcast for them to listen to yet?

[@Buzzsprout]

Great question! The best thing you can do is to start! Start by building a podcast you’d love to listen to. Your enthusiasm will attract like-minded listeners. Remember, every great podcast started with zero listeners too.

[@minako7928]

What mic is he using?

[@EbonyJon]

Our audience asked for a podcast, we made one and none of them are listening.

[@trishastargirl]

I want in, too! I want a partner, who's more into the editing and technical stuff. I just want to be the talent....I mean we would be having conversation with each other and the viewers. I'm a very strong reader, so someone who is shy about reading outloud, would be a good partner for me. Anyone in Houston, who's not in the streets, but is well informed and likes talking about true crime, celebrities and the culture, and you're looking for a podcast partner, let me know. I'm a mature female, but I'd fit in with the right 1 or 2 people. I'm like a "hip" Oprah who has loved all kinds of music throughout my life and I've always dreamed of being a talk show or game show host. 😊
