Over the next few weeks, we will be discussing a new Podcasting 101 Series called “The Phases of Podcasting”. There are 6 phases we will go over during our training beginning with Phase 1 (I think that’s a great place to start, don’t you? ) labeled “The Basics”.

We will begin at the front of podcasting with the very basic equipment and software you will need to get started with this hobby. This phase may take two episodes to complete, we will have to see how it goes for time, as I will be going into depth on each phase to insure that the maximum amount of information can be given to the listeners.

Phase 2 is labeled “Prepping for your Podcast”. During this training, we will discuss the various prep that should be performed in order to have the best, most professional sounding, podcasts. Most novice podcasters think that prepping for their podcast consists of just turning on the PC and doing it. This is not always the case as you will see during this phase of training.

Phase 3 is labeled “Going Live the First Time”. Since podcasting can be pre-recorded in most cases, many podcasters and would be podcasters, aren’t sure about this new arena of Live, Interactive podcasting. We will discuss what you need to do to Go Live with your podcasting.

Phase 4 is labeled “What Happens After The Show Is Over?”. Do you just turn off the mic and wait until your next show or podcast or do you try and build community by taking a few extra minutes to be with your listeners. We will discuss what happens between show/podcast times and what you may want to do to help build your listener audience.

Phase 5 is labeled “Taking Note”. In this phase of training, we will discuss the importance of having show notes and publishing these notes after the show. Blogging plays a big role here, however, there are a few ways that you can use your show notes and we will discuss this further during this phase of training.

Phase 6 is labeled “What Happens Next?”. During this last phase of training in this series, we will discuss how your podcast can evolve and what you need to do to “take it to the next level” and help it to grow. This phase may take a couple of episodes to complete as there is a lot of important information that will be covered during this training.

So there you have it, a sneek peek at the Phases of Podcasting coming to Podcaster Training over the next few weeks. I put out a blog post several days ago asking for your storieds as to how and why you started podcasting. Please take a minute to leave a comment on that post or here and let me know if I can use your stories along with my training. Make sure to leave links in your comments as this is a great way to promote your shows, podcasts, blogs or web sites!
