#1 How to Start a Podcast, Why I Started & What I Hope to Achieve

Starting a podcast is a pretty daunting experience.  From how to start a podcast, how to record a podcast and creating a podcast for audio and video for the very first time, what you see in my very first episode is the end product of being completely self-taught in all of that . --------- TOPICS COVERED:  How To Start a Podcast - This is my first ever podcast episode which of course came with its challenges. From researching podcast software to podcast microphones and everything in between it was a bit of a minefield which I wanted to avoid. The danger of over researching and becoming overwhelmed is real. I took a question from an Instagram follower which let me go really into detail about the whole creating a podcast process. Why I Wanted To Start a Podcast - When I told people I was starting a podcast you could tell they didn't really understand why or see the value in it. Having started out as a travel Instagram couple before then incorporating the blog, I see the podcast as an essential tool to have as part of our Wander In Two brand and its continued growth. There are also very personal reasons why I wanted to start a podcast which I go into detail about. I share things in this episode that I have only shared with a best friend and Ivana so it felt pretty liberating to talk about it and share.  What I Hope to Achieve by Having a Podcast - We have massive aspirations for our Wander In Two brand which I know will be only boosted by having this podcast as an outlet and traffic driver to our website.  The podcast will also be a great outlet to go into depth on subjects such as mental health, overall wellness, business, relationships, travel, blogging, social media and so much more. Without the restrictions of the Instagram algorithm and the Google ranking factors, by having this platform I will be able to discuss subjects in so much more depth and with freedom. The biggest thing I want to have with this podcast is to have fun and bring a little bit of Scottish humour regardless of the subjects discussed. Life is tough so I want to help bring positivity and fun into everything that is covered in each episode.
