A podcast is not a random piece of audio that upload onto your website. 

A podcast is just a tad more involved than that.

In this episode, Serena explains not just the definition of a podcast but the commitment required when you launch one. 

About me
Hello, I'm Serena Gay, a BBC-trained journalist and a former international satellite TV presenter.

I have many years of news and audio production experience which I now use to great effect as CEO of a podcast making company called "Made4U Podcasts".

I've  also helped run family businesses in the UK and Germany in the tourism and wine education fields.

So I understand the pressures on businesspeople to perform, promote and reach new and profitable streams of clients.

That's why these podcasts are short, pithy and full of information - not blather!

There are some outstandingly good free tools out there to help you put your podcast together for free - or for very little.

The providers of these tools are, of course, hoping that you might take up their paid plans sometime in the future - but there is no pressure on you to do this.

Given the stormy economic times that we are promised lie ahead, it's good to know that you can still launch a podcast for relatively little money.

Here are the featured podcasting tools:

Most podcast guest interviews go well. But sometimes, your podcast guest is a disappointment and you just cannot publish the episode. 

What do you do?

How do you break the news to them? 

This episode provides help with finding the most diplomatic solutions. After all, you don't want to hurt their feelings or earn yourself a reputation as a time-waster.
