SPI 546: My (Terrible) First Podcast Episode
#546 I'm gonna be honest. What you're about to hear in today's episode might be a little disturbing. Okay, I'm kidding (mostly). You might cringe a little, though. That's because you're going to hear clips from my very first podcast episode ever, from July 2010. Podcasting was very difficult then. It was not just technically difficult, but hard because there were fewer people making shows and proving that this thing actually worked. It was also hard because I was very much in my own head, and the thought of putting my voice out into the world was scary. But I also knew a little bit about the power and potential of podcasting. And I knew I wanted to help people change their lives through podcasting as well. That's why I also want to share a special offer on our Power-Up Podcasting course. It's the best resource out there to get you up and running with the podcast of your dreams.

SPI 545: The Reality of Starting a Podcast (Actually 2) with Abby Rose Green
#545 A lot of people are looking to start podcasts this year. I've been podcasting for a very long time, and we've done episodes with other podcasters talking about podcasting and what that can do for your brand. It can do a lot. Today we're speaking with Abby Rose Green. She co-hosts two relatively new podcasts, and they're both doing extremely well. This is a component that I don't have a ton of experience with: co-hosts. How do you coordinate? How do you work with another person who is also a voice on your show? Today, we're going to talk about all that and more.
