EXPENSES AND INTERVIEWS
How can you start a podcast for free? I need to quickly test out ideas before putting money and time into publishing one. What's the best way to do that? - Sean
Any tips for interviews? - Ryan
If your show is an interview-based show, what are the three things I need to think about when recruiting new guests? From the perspective of the ...
the audience (benefit, engagement, transformation, emotion)
the host (what do you want to accomplish? How will you incorporate you?)
and the goals of the show? (how does it help your drive business? How does the guest add value)

PODCAST PRODUCTION
Many asked questions about podcast production this week. As you work to refine your production process, these tips will help.
Looking for advice on "live" editing.
I record and edit my podcast in Audition. All episodes are scripted, because I learned that if I just wing it with a loose outline then I have a LOT of editing to do. But even when scripted the editing takes me forever.
I record first and edit later, usually on another day. This isn’t working. I don’t like editing, and it’s still hours of work to edit a 45 minute audio file. - Danny
I'm only 6 episodes in. My first episode was rough, not real good. But it has 40 downloads and the next 5 have less than 20 each. So I'm thinking since that first episode was so weak, that I'm not getting repeat listeners. Should I just delete episode one? - Greg
Do you post YouTube versions of your podcast? I've started doing this, just as a static image with subtitles. - Craig
How important is a podcast name? - Cliff
Do you recommend having someone else do you intro? Someone with a terrific speaking voice? - Chris
How did you get your podcast music and intro outro? - Jennifer
How did you determine the length of your podcast? - Danielle
I'm in search of greater podcast revenue. I was wondering if you have done commission based ads? You read the ad w/ a unique discount code, every sale, you earn $xx? - Jim
