I'd finally compare it with other standard podcast logos I like for quality sake.
4. I'd like to do this podcast on my own (solocast). Every month, I'd have one guest interview. If the interview can't be in person due the pandemic or distance,

@naijapodhub #PodsInNaija
I'd schedule a virtual meeting.
I'd use zoom for free if my interview is less than 40 mins. I'd use platforms like http://squadcast.com http://zencastr.com to record the interview if my podcast is longer that 40 mins or

@naijapodhub #PodsInNaija
my guest is going to stay on the episode from start to finish.
I can also use this method if I am recording a duo-cast(podcast with a cohost) or a group-cast(3 or more hosts) and we all cant be in the same room to record.

I can get my questions ready for an interview, send it to the guest and have them record their answers and send to me.

5. Recording Yourself.
If I use an iPhone or a high quality android, I can record with my phone's voice memo or voice recorder. I'd record in the dead of night or the very early hours of the morning, under my thick blanket to try shielding out noise.

@naijapodhub #PodsInNaija
I'd also throw my pillows all around me as well. If my home is quiet, I'd simply record at home with good UBS pod mics like blue snowball ice microphone

6. Recording at a studio
I'd email, dm or call @iamthefayfay to help me with this.
Since my podcast doesn't depend of the newness of content, I can record multiple episodes at a go.
I'd record 4 episodes every week. 2 on Friday and 2 on Saturday.

7. When I am all set, I'd structure my content as follows.
Trailer for podcast. It will be at most 2 minutes long telling the listener what to expect on the podcast, how often an episode drops and where it can be found.

@naijapodhub #PodsInNaija
Podcast intro, a brief 30 secs max piece similar to the opening montage of a tv show but in audio form. It can be theme song as well. Listen to #TheUnsullied with @Rhecks for reference
@naijapodhub #PodsInNaija
@naijapodhub #PodsInNaija
Divide your pod into start, middle and end and decide how long each part is going to be.
Make bullet points and notes to help you flow from one point to another and from one part to another.

8. Editing and audio production by yourself . I'd edit my podcast with Audacity or Adobe Audition. I'd find youtube videos to help me understand the basic use of these editing softwares. I can also use any audio workspace I am comfortable with.
@naijapodhub #PodsInNaija
@naijapodhub #PodsInNaija
If I want a much more professional production, I will contact @iamthefayfay for her podcast editing and podcast production services or schedule tutorial classes with her to help me get started.

9. Distribution platforms
I'd research on at least 5 free platforms and 5 paid for platforms. Then, I'd narrow it down to 3 or 4 that come closest to what I want for my podcast. Then I'd make a final decision of best fit.

10. Show notes and caption
My show notes and caption would include bits of information talked about on the episode. Links, references and time stamps so my listener can easily access all linked content.

@naijapodhub #PodsInNaija
There are platforms that allow listeners to click on time stamps. This automatically skips to the exact time where a particular thing is talked about.

11. Social media presence and promo
I'd promo my podcast on twitter IG and facebook. Scheduling at least 2 to 3 posts weekly to either presell or promote my most recent episode.

Affiliate marketing, merchandise sales and creating brand specific content all help. You can seek the help of a podcast distributor or marketer.
I know a guy. You can request for his service.
