Podcasts are like Lay's potato chips (you can't have just one). Once you start one, Getting the itch to start a second is something people are thinking about. With this in mind, we look at questions you should ask before starting your first, second, third... podcast.

Podcasters Pondering a Second Show
Kim Newlove of the Pharmacist's Voice is considering doing a local show about Perrysburg Ohio.
Dr. Brad Miller of the Overcoming Adversity show has launched Santa Clause Says Podcast.
Mark Vinet of the History of North America show is mixing in his historical fiction books (for me I would put these in their own show, and promote them in his first show).
Matt Rafferty of the Author Inside You is thinking of doing a local show that interviews local businesses.
Dave Jackson (me) is bringing back a show with a new format at MonthlyChallenge.fit
5 Questions You Should Answer When Starting Your Podcast
- Why are you starting a podcast?
- Is this a passion project or a business?
- Who is your audience
- What do they want to hear? (Why will they listen to your podcast?)
- How will you gauge your success?
(Bonus) What will you stop doing to find the time to do this show?
My Black Friday Purchases
I like the output of Deverberate for cleaning up bad audio that has lots of reverb.
I also purchased Wiser Notification (aff) to make my pop-ups on my site, and to show social proof on my site. (coupon BF2022-30 )
QUESTION OF THE MONTH
This month the question is the one I do every December. What is your favorite podcast in 2022 and WHY? You can only choose ONE (I know it's hard). If you can get their website URL that would be VERY helpful. Also be sure to mention your show, its website, and a little bit about it.
