Starting a podcast in 2025 is really pretty simple.

Podcasting changed my life for the better in so many ways. If you want to start a podcast, here are the 10 things that will help you make it happen in 2025!

I’ve been in the podcasting world for almost 4 years and I’ve been helping a lot of women start their own podcasts in the past year.

Here’s what I would do if I was starting a podcast in 2025:

1. Do video from the beginning

2. Use Descript

3. Figure out your niche

4. Have a workflow

5. Do seasons

6. Buy a dynamic microphone

7. Have a month’s worth of content before launching

8. Create a trailer

9. Find a couple of podcast coaches to follow on social media

Topics discussed in this episode include:

Takeaways from this episode:
