Once you’ve planned and produced your episode, you’ll need a process for post-production. This includes things like editing, audio cleanup, distribution, show notes, and more. Remember that if you’re leveraging YouTube Podcasts (please please do), you’ll need to have a separate step to upload episodes to YouTube. Currently, this doesn’t and shouldn’t go through your podcast host.

📣 Pro Tip: Don’t let fear of editing stop you from starting your show. There are lots of easy video and audio editing tools out there, great editors you can hire, and hey… you don’t have to edit your show. It’s your show, your choice.
