A manageable launch, with room to learn along the way.

GET STARTED

2. Choose the date for your first official recording and a realistic launch date.

3. Prepare the basics: title, short description, cover art, three finished episodes, a host, and one place to announce the show.

4. Map 12 episode ideas. Add a recording date and a release date; leave room to adapt after feedback.
