Podcasting conferences are a place where podcasters from around the world come together to network and learn more about their craft. Whether you’re an expert who’s been in the field for years or you’re yet to record your first episode, all skill levels are welcomed with open arms.

First made popular by smartphone voice assistants like Siri, voice control devices are becoming part of our everyday lives. We no longer need to pick our devices up in order to use them.

So you have your interests that you’re going to turn into a podcast. But now it’s time to narrow down even further into a specific niche.

If you’ve made a great podcast, then you’re going to want to write great show notes, too. Why? Well, for two main reasons:

How much do you feel like you know about money? How to save it, how to invest it, how to negotiate for more, how to (insert all other stressors that come with it here)?

Creating a podcast can be as simple as hitting the record button from an app on your smartphone. That being said, you need to try to stand out from the crowd to make your mark in an increasingly competitive podcasting landscape.

Everyone’s interested in something. Whether it’s the paleo diets, Reddit true crime conspiracies, or medieval history, there’s something that piques your interest.

Fancy branching out and listening to new podcasts but don’t quite know how to find them? Thanks to a range of great tools, it’s never been easier.

Despite the seemingly endless options in the podcast field, sometimes it’s hard to determine what to watch next. For the entrepreneurial woman, there are myriad options, so we took the time to narrow down on a few of our favorites.

You know that feeling when fear hits your body? When your stomach starts to tighten, your palms begin to feel clammy, and then even your thoughts clam up?

Unfortunately, co-hosts and guests can’t always be present physically to record a podcast. Whether you’re separated by a 20-mile car ride or a 7-hour flight, distance can make recording your show a little tricky.

You have an episode (or two or three) of your podcast ready to launch, but now Apple Podcasts is asking for a podcast description and you're wondering how to write a great one.

Podcast analytics help you measure your show’s performance through practical data. From subscriber counts to average listening time, this information allows you to make strategic decisions about your content.

Just the thought of starting your own podcast can be intimidating. There are so many things to consider – from the basics of choosing a podcast name to deciding which audio equipment you’re going to need.

You may have mastered the art of podcasting, but were you aware that you need a website to optimize your reach? Podcast websites are becoming essential to the success of your content on the web.

Creating a podcast website should be at the top of every podcaster’s to-do list. It acts as a central hub where both new and existing listeners can consume more than just your finished episodes.

You’ve started your podcast but it’s not quite getting the number of subscribers you had initially hoped for. It’s an obstacle that most podcasters must overcome when first starting out.
