educator, independent artist, and arts advocate,

00:00:10.019 --> 00:00:12.759
and the executive producer of the multi award

00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:16.719
-winning podcast, The Piano Pod. And I'm so glad

00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:18.899
you're here. Whether you're just starting to

00:00:18.899 --> 00:00:21.460
think about launching a podcast or you've already

00:00:21.460 --> 00:00:24.660
got a few episodes under your belt, this course

00:00:24.660 --> 00:00:28.660
was designed with you in mind. It's for artists.

00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:33.100
educators and independent creatives, people who

00:00:33.100 --> 00:00:35.939
have something meaningful to say and want to

00:00:35.939 --> 00:00:39.399
build a podcast that feels authentic, intentional

00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:43.759
and sustainable. Over the next few modules, I'll

00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.100
walk you through everything I've learned from

00:00:46.100 --> 00:00:49.259
producing both audio and video podcast episodes

00:00:49.259 --> 00:00:53.140
for nearly six years. I'll share tools, strategies,

00:00:53.820 --> 00:00:56.880
and real talk because this isn't just about how

00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.460
to podcast. It's about why and how to do it in

00:01:00.460 --> 00:01:03.460
a way that fits your life and your creative energy.

00:01:03.850 --> 00:01:06.909
Here's what you can look forward to. In Module

1, we'll get grounded. You'll explore the creative

00:01:09.730 --> 00:01:12.469
power of podcasting in today's world and what

00:01:12.469 --> 00:01:15.010
it means to build a digital presence that's true

00:01:15.010 --> 00:01:17.689
to you. We'll talk about choosing your topic,

00:01:18.109 --> 00:01:20.950
understanding the podcasting landscape, and identifying

00:01:20.950 --> 00:01:23.349
the audience you actually want to reach. Not

00:01:23.349 --> 00:01:26.609
just the biggest one, but the right one. Then

00:01:26.609 --> 00:01:29.430
in module two, we'll move into planning. This

00:01:29.430 --> 00:01:31.549
is where we'll break down your show's format,

00:01:31.849 --> 00:01:34.469
tone, length, and release schedule. You'll make

00:01:34.469 --> 00:01:37.109
key decisions that shape your podcast's identity

00:01:37.109 --> 00:01:39.730
so you don't feel lost every time you hit record.

00:01:40.469 --> 00:01:43.950

00:01:43.950 --> 00:01:46.549

00:01:55.379 --> 00:01:58.319
to the platforms that matter. No fancy equipment

00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:02.040
or editing degree required, I promise. And finally,

00:02:02.579 --> 00:02:05.620
Module 4 is all about promotion and growth. I'll

00:02:05.620 --> 00:02:08.740

00:02:18.139 --> 00:02:20.759
not self -promotional, and how to build real

00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.520
