Episode 9 Deep Thoughts
What’s better quality, quantity, perfection, doneness? I’m NOT SURE, you tell me (@lokate). This episode is mostly deep thoughts, from deep in the back of my broadcast closet.

Episode 8: Spreading the Word (Take 1)
I let my friends and family know that I started a podcast, and this is how it went. This is basic stuff, but sometimes basic stuff is good (hello frappuccinos).

Episode 7: What’s Next? + Listener Feedback
Whelp, now that this experiment is on iTunes, what’s the plan for future episodes? Same thing I plan every time, Pinky, try to take over the world! Also in this episode: listener feedback for the first time ever.

Episode 6: We’re Approved! Happy Dance to *Intro Music*
I’m so excited that Apple approved the podcast to show up in iTunes, I’m only sort of sad that my mic rubbed on my shirt and made an annoying swishy sound the whole time.

Episode 5: OMG You’re a Real Podcaster Now
Longest episode yet, but so worth it. If you get to the end of this one, and follow my tips, you too have a real live podcast on the internet for all to hear! Here are the links I mentioned to help you get all set up, and on your way to iTunes approval:

Episode 4: Where I Learn that Planning is Good
A couple follow up tips on branding. Last ones before you publish, promise! This time I wrote down what I wanted to talk about before the episode (and it still sounds a little scattered, but I didn’t leave anything out … mostly).
Customer Reviews
Gives you that little extra push you need!
Laurel's podcast is inspiring for anyone who's considering starting a podcast or didn't even know they wanted to (like me). She's fun, silly, but most importantly, got me to start one of my own!
Amazing!
Funny, helpful and interesting! This podcast has inspired me to think about starting my own podcast, thanks Laurel!
Charming!
Fun to hear the journey from talking into your phone at a stop light to being a podcast sensation (I'm assuming this will happen shortly). One of the reasons I've never seriously considered making my own podcast is the worry that you'd need to invest in an expensive microphone for good audio quality, but all of her experiments so far have sounded great.
