Summary: Fresh off a semester teaching audio journalism, and in the midst of writing a book called The Business of Podcasting with Steve Lubetkin, I just had to share these eight podcasting truths with you. I guess I could also name them “things I wish I’d known when I started podcasting.” Here are the show notes for this 12-minute episode: 1. You will hate your first five episodes. 2. We can tell when you’re reading. 3. Get the tech right. 4. Passion wins over technology – to a degree 5. Don’t make me dig for your podcast 6. Many people still don’t know what a podcast is. 7. Ignore the snake-oil sellers. 8. Podcasts can build communities.
