Here's a master thread linking to all the longer interviews and chats I've done, mostly with fellow forum members.

I appreciate it might be some more work, but have you considered making it an actual podcast?

I would love to be able to download onto my phone and listen while on the go

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is a podcast?

I shoved the recordings on SoundCloud because I saw another forum member do the same and thought that's good enough for me.

It seems they can't be downloaded from SoundCloud? Is being downloadable part of what makes something a podcast?

Regularly creating audio content I guess is part of it.

Haha. Have I already created a podcast?

"The Accidental Podcast."

You're right. Maybe I just have to add that extra twist and what I'm doing within the forum can help people outside the forum.

Errr... Anyone know how to create a podcast?

EDIT: What do you think I should call it?

Waspy · Dec 15, 2016

You pretty much do have a podcast already! It's just a regular audio production, generally with a theme. You normally subscribe to them so you can download them as soon as they are produced.

I'm sure there are website out their that let you "produce" your own, not that I ever have.

Stick with AndyTalks, it's a good name!

I listen to a lot of podcasts and a lot of them are hosted here.

Basically as @Waspy says a podcast just means having a regular schedule of production. This can vary wildly between podcasts with some being every day such as Entrepreneur on Fire (EoF) and others being 1 episode every 3-4 months!

Most listeners will subscribe to a podcast to automatically download the latest episodes. You can subscribe in a few different ways with iTunes being the most popular. (https://www.apple.com/au/itunes/podcasts/)

Here is a guide from EoF on how to set up a podcast: http://www.eofire.com/how-to-podcast/

And it actually looks like you can setup a podcast with SoundCloud: https://on.soundcloud.com/creator-guide/podcasting
Basically all you do is add on an RSS feed of your SoundCloud content and then submit that to iTunes. People then subscribe to your feed. Easy!

Did you do all that research just help me? Wow. Thanks. Rep++

Blimey, that Entrepreneur on Fire article is a good example of an Epic Post! It's soooo long.

There's many links to more info, including his Clickfunnels signup page to his email series on how to create a podcast, which I've just subscribed to.

It shows the power of Epic Content - people share it, and it causes people to take action.

Just like TMF ...

Interesting that EoF is one podcast a day. I was thinking of doing a short nugget of a video a day (tighter than my daily Snapchat stories). I was toying with the name AndyBites, but that might be taken up the wrong way. Haha. Also... I'm not trying to create a personal brand (believe it or not), so need to keep thinking on that.

Haha didn't do any extra research, this is all stuff I just had floating round in my head from listening to so many podcasts! All the same thanks for the rep

One thing with EoF is that he front loads his interviews. So instead of actually sitting down and doing 1 each day he records 7 in one day and then schedules them all to get released one per day. That way he can bang them all out in one 8 hour day and spend the rest of the week on other content/businesses.
