Hey friends, here is a recorded live session I hosted in our community. Each month I am hosting an ask me anything session based on a variety of topics. This month we focused on PODCASTING.  I was joined on this call by our good friends Cat Moore, Nathan Todd, Callum Woods and Ivana Suter as well as a number of other community members in the live chat.  Here are some questions I address (as well as others, asked live): CALLUM What software do you use for podcasting? How do you record the podcast? What’s your process once recorded? Where do you share the podcast? How do you prepare for guests? How do you get guests? KATE What hardware do you need? Is a producer required if you want to do it right from the start? Best way to get reviews/ratings to grow the audience, is it simply just ask? ANN How do you decide which guests to choose? What motivates you for interviews? Best microphone? JONATHAN How do I get such an amazing accent to come through on my podcast like yours? I hope this episode serves you well and inspires the podcaster within you to just start where you are with what you have! Always love  Ryan  p.s. please send your questions to podcast@abty.co.uk
