Should you podcast with a co-host or go solo?

Deciding whether to share the mic with someone or go solo is one of the biggest decisions you'll make as a podcaster. While co-hosted shows bring amazing chemistry and energy, they also come with added complications like scheduling, balancing workloads and (in the worst cases) legal headaches. In this episode, I break down when co-hosting is a good idea, when it’s not and how to avoid the biggest mistakes people make when launching a show with someone else. What you’ll learn: Why chemistry isn’t enough to make a co-hosted podcast work The biggest red flag when choosing a co-host How to future-proof your podcast partnership Why fear shouldn’t be the reason you avoid going solo What to include in a co-host agreement (even if you’re mates) How to avoid resentment when splitting the workload Why solo shows are often simpler and more sustainable EPISODE CREDITS: Host: Rachel Corbett Editing Assistance: Josh Newth LINKS & OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF: Find out how to work with me here Download my free podcasting guide Check out my online podcasting course, PodSchool Click here to submit a question to the show Email me: [email protected] Follow me: Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok or check out my blog or the PodSchool website.
