Ideas for your first podcast episode

About this episode

It’s happening. You’re finally launching a podcast.

You’ve been thinking about it, planning it, buying the gear, deciding not to do it, then deciding you want to do it, then getting scared, putting the gear back in the cupboard, then getting it back out, then realising you really just need to do it.


You know, all the normal emotions that fresh podcasters go through.


You get over the initial hurdle of committing to the process, but then you start thinking what that first episode needs to be like.


It needs to be amazing.


The kind of episode that someone will listen to and think, “This is possibly the greatest podcast in the history of the world. I’m hooked and I will now be a raving fan forever. I will give them my first born child as gratitude for how good this podcast episode is.”


Sure, that’s one way to attack your first episode, but maybe it’s not the smartest…


In this episode, I step through how I believe you should approach your first podcast episode.
