New Show: Podcasting and Platforms with Chris Spangle Jul 10, 2021

Show notes

I love podcasting as much as I love politics, and I am starting a new show to walk you through my podcasting method. Listen to the first episode then subscribe here - https://link.chtbl.com/podcasting-and-platforms!

Where do I begin? This is often the first question asked by a new podcaster (and old ones looking to start a new brand). This question usually paralyzes someone looking to start a show. They'll look at other shows, see 4 years of growth and think, "I have no idea how to replicate it." Or, "Who would listen to me? I am not an expert." This resistance is completely normal, but it isn't an excuse for procrastinating. In this episode, I talk about the 5 or 6 years of talking myself out of starting this show because I want you to know that is a common reason people never begin. It is the first hurdle to building a great show.
