The course starts during the week beginning 20th January 2020. Live classes will be generally held on Tuesdays at 1pm (GMT). You will receive a replay of all the classes – alongside resources given out in the class e.g. cheatsheets, checklists, swipe files. So there is no need to worry if you can’t attend live. 

1. Podcast hosting (around £15 / $19 per month)
2. A microphone (around £50/$60)

1. High quality recording tools (around £15 / $20 per month)
2. Professional artwork (up to £200 / $270)

5. Theme music (around £15 / $20)
6. Professionally produced intro and outro (around £150 / $200) 

We’ll be teaching every lesson live, but you’ll know everything you need to know by week 6 – or around the 40 day mark. After that it’s 2 weeks of implementation and a big Q&A ‘troubleshooting’ session in week 8. So, if you’re ready to go during week 7 or 8, you’re welcome to launch early!

Colin has helped to launch 100s of podcasts over the past 10 years, though, and in his experience, 40 to 60 days is an ideal length of time. Not so short that’s it’s super pressured, and not so long that you lose motivation. It’s very, very hard to do a good job, from scratch, in less time.

Good question. In an ideal world, you’d do all three. It’s possible to create a blog, a podcast and a video all in one content creation activity.

But, in reality, it’s good to concentrate on one, at first, and build out from there. Podcasting is a great started point for a few reasons:

• The gear and software required for podcasting is much simpler than video
• You can record with a script/outline in podcasting, allowing for easier planning and creation
• Competition is lower in podcasting than video or blogging
• The attention is amazing in podcasting – people listen for literally hours at a time
• Podcasting is an intimate, one-to-one medium that grows fanatical fans quickly
• It works brilliantly alongside blogging, since you’ll be creating shownotes too

• Eight weeks of online training (modules outlined above). Classes are taught live
• Recordings of all classes/calls
• Bonus sessions on running great interviews, repurposing your podcast & being a great podcast guest
• Dedicated Facebook group for Q & A and support

Yes, Colin and Janet both work with a few different podcasting and media creation tools, so we’ll be getting as many discounts for you as we can on things like podcast hosting, editing software and more.
