Podcasting starts with the people you are creating for. Not everybody but definitely someone. Have them in mind as you work.
Present in the moment
What we create invites a deliberate choice to listen – to be engaged with and by its content. Podcasts paint with words and sound to transport listeners somewhere else. What we are aiming for is so good people can’t help but share it.
