I started a podcast.

I started a podcast and I’m not sure it’s going to be very good, but it has a strong meaning behind it. It’s all about networking and helping people find contacts in the music business. Not going to say the name of it because I try to keep myself strictly anonymous on here. The only 2 issues I’ve been running into are where to record so I have better sound (because I tried my closet and my internet crapped out twice), and getting people to be guests. I have contacts in the music business because I started in music when I was 10 playing the cello, and my contacts have contacts…the only problem is getting them when they have time in their schedules. I need to make this podcast regular if it’s going to succeed, because I want to help people by connecting them with the contacts they need. I believe it’s a great idea, but am scared that it won’t get the boost it needs. Any advice?

Getting a decent microphone and a room that is acousticly dead are good. You can apply processing after recording to get it to sound the way you want. You can record interviews in advance and edit when you have time. It takes a long time to edit stuff down though. It's probably a good idea to start off with some interviews before you launch so that you have some in the can and have an idea of how long it takes you -so you can decide how often you release a new podcast.

Once you begin you will feel the pressure to keep the machine fed!
