Podcasting Guides & Resources

Apple Podcasts (formerly iTunes Podcasts) is the first podcast directory you should submit your podcast too.

You can choose up to 3 separate categories for your show. We recommend you select all 3 so you have more places to be found.

If your show fits into one of the subcategories, we recommend you choose that because you’ll also be listed in the main category.

For example, if your show is about nutrition, when you choose the Fitness & Nutrition subcategory, you’ll be listed in both the main Health category and the Fitness & Nutrition subcategory.

Also, make sure the first category you choose in your podcast platform is the most relevant as that will be the main category you’ll be listed in.

All podcasters have experienced it: an interview with a guest for their podcast that ends up being a big flop.

The guest was boring, they rambled all over the place, they focused on pitching their own product, or they had horrible sound quality.

Not only does the interview end up being a waste of time, but they have to break the news to the other person that their interview won’t air.

Preventing this from happening requires some preparation work, but once a podcaster has a process for it, they’ll be able to have great guest segments everytime they interview someone.
