There are multiple steps in podcast planning. Let’s look at the most common ones.
What to Include in Your Podcast Planning Worksheet
There are four stages in podcast production.
1. Prep Stage
These are the pre-production items.
Brainstorming topics: Involve your content team in some brainstorming exercises. Your podcast may include original subjects. Or, you may use topics covered in blogs or ebooks. Podcasts can actually be a great way to repurpose content.
Researching: You may already have intel on the subject. Other times, you’ll need to find some relevant data or support to back up your points. Research can be time-consuming, so keep this in mind.
Finding guests: A podcast is a conversation, not a monologue. Your guest should be an expert on the subject. Being passionate about it is a plus. Don’t think you need to find extroverts for your podcast. They aren’t on stage. It’s a private chat among friends. Start with internal experts, industry leaders, customers, and partners as possible guests.
Interview prepping: Your host and/or content team should put together questions. You don’t have to use this verbatim. They can be a starting point for conversations. Structure it like an outline. If there are specific points or stories to share, decide how you’ll weave those in with the right questions. (divvyhq.com)
