    I put "launch" in quotes because this step is really all about submitting your podcast to iTunes (Apple Podcasts).

    That means that when Apple accepts it, your show will be live and officially launched, even if no one knows about it.

    As a bonus, we'll talk about growing your show in a couple days.

    It's possible you already figured this step out by clicking the iTunes & Directories tab in your Buzzsprout dashboard, but if you haven't yet, it's easy!

    You will need to create an Apple ID if you don't have one already.

    It's time to invest in some equipment.

    Audio quality is more important than most people realize - poor audio quality will quickly turn people off, even if they can't specifically name why.

    And you don't have to spend a ton to get amazing audio quality!

    Today we're going to talk about Show Format.

    There are many different styles and formats you can choose - and many people will combine formats (i.e. a solo episode one day, an interview episode another day).

    There isn't a right or wrong way to go here - and many shows evolve and change over time to include other formats or segments.

    Action Step: Decide on an initial podcast format and outline the segments you will include.
