Learn to create a podcast you're proud with Pod like a Pro

One of the hardest things about creating a podcast is knowing if your idea is worth pursueing. And let's be honest, making a podcast is hard work, so it's something you want to get right from the start. In the Pod like a Pro podcast course you're taught by industry professionals who have decades of experience telling audio stories, so you know that they will guide you in the right direction.

We get it. Boy, do we get it.

Putting yourself in the public sphere in the intimate way a podcast demands is not for the faint hearted. It takes guts. And we're here to be your podcast cheerleaders as you take your first steps into the podcast arena. We'll share tips of the trade about how to get out of your head and embrace your authentic self.

Podcasts are big a commitment. There's no secret time hack here, but there are proven work flows that make the process manageable. Tip: The more organised and clear you are in the pre-production phase, the more hours you save in the post-production phase. 

Tech and podcast recordings go hand in hand, but it doesn't have to be daunting. In this podcast course we will walk you through your tech set up and give you easy to follow instructions to get the best result from your equipment and your guests. You will be given the opportunity to test your audio set up with us personally and trouble shoot any problems that arise.

It's true. You can make the best podcast in the world, but unless you tell people about it, no one will listen. We'll walk you through ways to create eye (and ear) catching content. How to use PR and other podcasts to find new listeners and the best techniques to find yourself in the podcast charts.

The Pod like a Pro course is designed for you to learn to make a top quality podcast that will compete with the best without the large production team and price tag. Benefit from our years of production experience to guide you in the right direction so you too will be podcasting like a pro in no time!

In the program you get all the one on one support mentioned throughout this page. If you're looking for an affordable, self paced option without the one on one support, then the course might be for you. In the course you get access to all the recorded video content, the first intro live and the final launch party, plus our private Facebook page. But you only get sound checks, intros and outros professionally made, strategy feedback and script feedback with the program.

From podcast strategy, to interviewing, editing and marketing. Every step is mapped out for you in this hands on course. There will be theory, yes, but you'll also put it into practice. 

This course isn't just about watching videos. If you choose the essentials option you get to joing us for the introduction live and the launch party. If you chose our recommended program option you'll have interaction and support the whole way through. There's five live opportunities to talk with us and get to know others who are also starting on their podcast journey. The groups are kept small so that everyone gets a turn. Plus, you'll have multiple opportunities to send us your work for feedback.

All good podcasts start with a clear plan. We'll show you how to create a professional strategy that will set you up for success. In the program option we'll also give you the opportunity for personal feedback with one of the coaches.

We're all about learning from each other at Pod and Pen. Just because we're the podcast people, doesn't mean we're the only ones in the room with the knowledge. If you sign up for the course you'll also get access to a private group with your fellow course attendees where you can discuss your work, ask questions and feel supported.

Liz and Nathanael are experienced producers who have trained many professionals in their careers. We know how daunting it is to put yourself out there and will gently guide you to find your confident, authentic voice.

Not sure if what you've got planned actually sounds any good? No worries. In the podcast program we'll offer you some professional ears to help you create a sound design and episode rundown that will work both for the listener and your busy schedule.

Put all these bits and pieces together and you'll surprise yourself when you have your first episode, sounding so professional and ready to be published. Now that you've done it once, you know you can do it again (and again)!

We don't just help you create your episode. We give you the opportunity to have our sound engineers polish your intros, outros, and trailer. We will show you how to create a distinctive, professional finish that is your pod signature.

Marketing is important when it comes to creating a successful podcast. We'll show you how to create audiograms and other social media assets that tie in with an overall marketing strategy. 

Each module incorporates a video of the skillset you are learning. Some modules will have worksheets to complete, others will have over-the-shoulder videos that you can follow along with. Across the course there will also be five live group coaching calls (in the program option) you can attend or watch back later. 

We won't just throw you some emails with a couple of videos attached and let you work it out yourself. The program option is interactive and supported. You do the work, and we will provide feedback and support every time.
