The Podcasting University Podcast!
A meetup in a small room with about 10 people in 2019 is where it all started.
It was a group of podcasters who were all hosted with Audioboom and who met for the first time, because of the initiative of a few folks in the group. We called it the "Bangalore Podcaster's Meetup".
This and the subsequent couple of meetings involving a lot many other aspiring podcasters and current podcasters, showed that there was a huge knowledge gap amongst the first few people about podcasting.
And there came the idea for "The Podcasting University"
The Podcasting University is available on all podcasting platforms. Pick your favorite and subscribe to the show in there.
Two things that you might want to do -

In this episode I break down what actually belongs in a podcast starter kit, and I close most of those tabs for you. There are four things. Three of them are completely free, and the fourth starts free.
I talk about why the item you cannot buy matters more than any microphone, how my wife’s uncomfortably narrow show idea turned into the growth engine behind millions of downloads, and why the room you sit in affects your audio more than a three hundred dollar mic ever will.
I also do the maths on what five months of gear research actually costs. It is not money. It is twenty episodes.
What I cover in this episode:
- The four-item podcast starter kit, and why three of the four cost nothing at all
- The one-sentence test that tells you whether your show idea is specific enough to record
- Why room sound beats microphone choice, and the ninety-second fix that costs nothing
- What a podcast host actually does, and why you never upload episodes to Apple or Spotify
- The twenty-minute exercise to do tonight that reveals your real first problem
Tools I recommend when you are ready to upgrade:
- Buzzsprout — the podcast host I point beginners to, with the cleanest dashboard and the best documentation for a first-timer
- Samson Q2U — my recommended first microphone, because it works over USB now and over XLR later if you ever grow into a mixer
- Audacity — free, twenty years old, and still the best place for a beginner to learn editing
If this episode convinced you that your podcast starter kit is already sitting in your pocket, the next step is doing the seven things in order. Join my 7-Day Podcast Launch Challenge and go from idea to a live show in a week, one day at a time.
If this helped you close a few tabs, send it to the friend who has been researching microphones since March.
