How does a beginner start a podcast? Sometimes it's about finding the right help.

In the Podcast Roadmap, you'll walk through each step of the podcast process. Here's an excerpt.


As you start developing your podcast idea, the question must be asked: will you do it yourself, or will you use a production partner?
