How do I plan a podcast concept and format?
Plan a podcast by naming the listener, the promise of each episode, the format you can sustain and how often you'll release. Then test it with a few episode ideas. See our pricing page for current prices, or book a free discovery call.
What questions does a podcast plan answer?
- Who is this for, and what do they get from every episode?
- What format: solo, co-hosted, interview or panel?
- How long are episodes, and how often do they come out?
- What does a listener do after an episode?
- How will new people discover the show?
Strategy session or launch kit: which do I need?
See our pricing page.
Can a strategy session help an existing show?
Yes. Common topics include a format refresh, a new segment, a better release rhythm, or a plan for clips and social media.
What should I bring?
Your goals, any download or audience numbers you track, a few episodes you are proud of and a few you are not. Honest material makes for a useful session.
What should I bring to a strategy session?
- Your goals for the show and who it is for.
- Any episodes or recordings you already have.
- Shows you like and why.
- Your realistic weekly time for recording.
- Questions about format, length, guests and release schedule.
What comes out of the session?
You leave with a clearer concept, a format you can sustain and next steps for your launch or relaunch. If you then want help producing the show, the launch kit and monthly packages pick up from there.
