Course Details
Podcasting Masterclass: How to Plan, Produce & Promote Your Podcast
2 hours | Online via Zoom
If you're thinking of launching a podcast for your business, or around a personal passion, this is the workshop for you.
I've been producing and hosting podcasts since the 00s, where at MySpace I produced a whole host of music-focussed content. Nowadays I'm the host of the Digital Marketing Institute's 'Ahead of the Game' podcast, and produce shows professionally for business clients.
Podcasting is once again booming, but this time it's hit the mainstream and isn't going anywhere. A podcast is one of the most intimate and engaged channels you can develop a relationship with your audience through, and could transform your business. But where do you start?
I'll guide you through the whole process from planning to recording, from editing to promoting. I'll go into detail about equipment, software and workflows in a way that anyone can follow. I'll share hard-won lessons about dealing with clients, guests, technical nightmares and more!
- Assess whether a podcast is a good fit for your business
- Know who's doing it well, and why it works for them
- Devise a theme and a format for your show
- Research your audience to understand what they want
- Give your show a name and branding that stands out
- Line up guests and contributors
- Choose equipment, whatever your budget
- Learn how to edit your podcast with inexpensive (or free) software
- Understand the basic principles of audio production, even if you've never done it
- Know how to publish your podcast across all the main platforms and apps
- Learn about promotional tools to grow your audience from day one
Hi, I'm Will your podcasting teacher
Who am I and why should you trust me to teach you?I've been producing and hosting podcasts since the 00s, where at MySpace I produced a whole host of music-focussed content. Nowadays I'm the host of the Digital Marketing Institute's 'Ahead of the Game' podcast, and produce them professionally for business clients too.
Today I run marketing and creative skills courses for the biggest training providers including University College Dublin, The Institute of Data & Marketing and the Digital Marketing Institute. I'm also a regular guest on TalkRadio and Times Radio (UK) where I offer my expertise on the digital stories of the day. In my early career I taught music production in Ealing, London where I deepened my passion for everything audio in the incredible studios there.
It's safe to say that I've seen a lot in my career, from global superstars losing their temper two minutes before my interview, to complete technical failures in the middle of live broadcasts. I've produced podcasts in multi-million-dollar studios and on the noisy city streets with an iPhone. Having tried a hundred ways to produce audio I'll give you the simplest, budget-friendly ways to get a great podcast out there!
Why People Love My Courses
I recently did the Social Media and Content Marketing Course with Will. I found it really useful, and learned a lot over the 2 days. Working in a Digital Marketing Agency, I am constantly trying to up-skill myself, and these courses allowed me to do just that.
Will has been amazing in relation to any follow up questions I have had since completing the course. I would definitely recommend this course!

Digital Marketing Manager, Transpose DigitalWill is great. I attended a one-day workshop with him recently on social media, just to brush up on my skills. The guy knows his stuff. He’s very practical and helpful. No waffle or nonsense. He’s also great at following up and answering any questions. I would have no hesitation in recommending his workshops and consultancy services.
