The Podcasting Party — Technology
The Podcasting Party

Are you wanting to start a podcast but are overwhelmed by the amount of information about podcasting?

Are you confused by all the technical language, and technology?

Are you frustrated by how expensive equipment and the costs associated with podcasting can be?

Or do you have a podcast?

Are you stressed out trying to create content, record, edit, and upload your episodes each week?

Are you frustrated by the lack of growth you see even with all your hard work and dedication?

Are you burnt out and ready to quit?

Then you’re in the right place. The Podcasting Party is a podcast for podcasters about podcasting.

As a podcast coach, I have seen a huge theme emerge with the women I coach: potential podcasters believe in the message they want to share through their podcast but they lack the confidence in themselves when it comes to learning the technology and starting their podcast. They spend months trying to figure it out, google their way through, and by the time they make it to me, they are stressed out, overwhelmed, and frustrated.

Beginner podcasters come to me burnt out and ready to throw in the towel. The message they once believed in is now dwarfed by the overwhelm and frustration they feel having to produce a show each week.

I’m on a mission to help potential and current podcasters take the stress, overwhelm, and frustration out of podcasting.

I believe that podcasting one big party, and you’re invited. Come join me and let’s put the party back into podcasting!

When is the BEST Time of Day to Publish Your Podcast? Jan 31, 2022

Show notes

Have you ever wondered what time of day is the best to publish your episodes?

Should it be waiting when listeners wake up or maybe should it go live for them to listen around lunch? What about the evening? Should you publish your episode so that it's ready to listen while your listeners are in the car on the way home from work or prepping dinner?

After being asked by podcasters and not really having a concrete answer for them about this question, I decided to conduct an experiment with my own show to determine what time of day is best to publish your podcast. So this episode is the results from that experiment that I conducted. And I think you might just be surprised with what I have to say.

Podcasting Encouragement for the New Year Jan 10, 2022

Show notes

So in this episode of The Podcasting Party, I really want to talk to you about claiming your power for 2022, making it your year. I think for so many of us, 2020 was the year that shocked us. And if 2020 shocked us, well then, 2021 was the year that exhausted us. I've talked to so many podcasters over the past six months who are burnt out, they're tired, and they're wondering if podcasting and their work is worth it.

And I just wanted to give you some encouragement for the new year if you too are feeling this way.

Dreaming Big for Your Podcast Dec 27, 2021

Show notes

As I was preparing content and thinking about the end of the year and the beginning of the new year and all the things that go with it, I realized that so often for women we're focused on others and we forget to dream, cast vision, and give ourselves a time and the space to pause and really think about our future.

And so today's episode, I'm changing things up a little bit. I want to guide you through a series of questions that will give you some time and some space to dream big for the new year for your podcast.
