I’m planning to launch a new gaming podcast about PlayStation, and I did record the intro part today as I promised myself I would. But I can’t stop second guessing myself and just sitting here wondering if it’s even worth the effort. My plan was/is to record the rest tomorrow and launch, but I’m really not sure if I’m going to go through with it after all. Idk who’s going to see this post or care but I guess I wanted to tell someone how I’m feeling about it. That’s all.
If you’re unknown now, the currentness of the topical stuff won’t matter to most of your viewers. Because they’ll only start listening once they find you and are more likely to do so once you have a few available episodes.
Your wishy washy “I’ll post tomorrow or next week is already a red flag.”
Start doing weekly or however often once you have 4 episodes done and cover topical stuff then.
This seems like especially good advice; you’d be kind of betting on someone 60 days from now coming across the podcast and going “Hey, this is pretty good!” They’re not going to care as much if the conversation is about very recent, fast-expiring news. Probably better to aim for something that makes for a slightly more timeless conversation.
