001 Podcast Your Passion – 3 Questions To Ask Yourself Before Starting Your Podcast

Summary: Hello and welcome to the debut episode of Start Talking and Recording Today! This is a podcast where we teach you HOW to podcast. Whether you’re already an advanced podcaster or you’re looking to begin your very first episode, I’m here to help START you on your path to podcasting success. I have been podcasting since 2006 and have produced over 260 podcast episodes. I got my start in podcasting with a show called "The Tripsleft.com Sports Shorts". Surprisingly, this show only lasted 6 episodes. In January 2012, I launched the Sports Podcast Entertainment Network (SPNT.tv) with just one show on the network. The success we have seen over the year has been remarkable, the network now features 10 different podcasts! I started START because so many people over the years have come to me for my podcasting expertise and I thought who better to start a "How-To" podcast than I. There are a few rules that I live by and in this week's show I fill you in three important questions you must ask yourself prior to starting your podcast. I'd love to hear your feedback on this episode, things I can improve. Maybe you have questions you'd like to ask about podcasting. Please email me at startpodcasting@spnt.tv.
