Starting your own podcast: here are the basics

Technically speaking, starting your own podcast is quick. However, there are many things you should think about beforehand. Our guide summarizes the questions you need to ask yourself.

With a plan: your own podcast should follow a clear line.

The podcast concept has long been established and this success invites you to join in. However, you should not start too hastily.

How to start your own podcast

The success of a podcast depends on both the people and the concept. The latter, after all, can be quite different:

• Is it an interview-format podcast, where different interviewees are invited in each episode?
• Or does the podcast consist of two (or more) fixed hosts who always talk to each other?
• Does the podcast permanently deal with a specific topic area?
• Should the podcast be short and sweet or long and detailed?
• On which platforms should the podcast appear?

There are also other things, such as sound effects and a professional intro. Thanks to the diversity in the streaming sector, the above criteria give you every freedom, as almost any concept can work - if it is implemented well. Letztendlich gilt somit dasselbe wie in allen Bereichen der digitalen Unterhaltung: Es ist eine Frage der Qualität.
