OMFG I made it through 100 episodes of this here podcast – can you believe it?!
During this (epic but occasionally emotional) rollercoaster I’ve learned A LOT, so I thought it’d only be fair to reflect a little and share some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned about podcasting.

10 podcasting tips:
- Don’t aim for a perfect start, just begin, and learn along the way. Also, don’t aim for perfect along the way!
- Never be afraid to switch up your format, your posting schedule or anything else.
- Having rapport with the people you interview is ESSENTIAL.
- The best possible podcast training academy is listening to other people’s podcasts.
- If you need to take a break, nobody will die.
- Fancy equipment and fancy editing can just be an excuse to procrastinate. I still edit everything myself!
- Listening to your own voice gets easier with time. Slightly.
- Remember who you’re recording for and make sure you’re giving them something to take away.
- If you want people to know about your podcast, you have to actually tell them.
- Be really clear about WHY you’re doing this. There should be a purpose behind your show.
