Many people have an interest in starting their own podcast, but need help figuring out where to begin. Smarter Podcasting: Podcasting For Beginners sets out to help beginning podcasters. Its goal is to help people new to podcasting figure out the best methods for creating a podcast and growing an audience for it.
The host of the podcast is Niall Mackay. He is a comedian, podcaster, and producer who lives and works in Vietnam. While he started as a stand-up comic, he now focuses on podcasting. McCay founded the production company Seven Million Bikes, which produces various podcasts. He also teaches courses on how to podcast.
In many ways, Smarter Podcasting: Podcasting For Beginners lives up to its title. The show is about helping newer podcasters figure out how to distinguish themselves. In a crowded landscape that only grows larger by the day, this is an invaluable skill to have.
Each episode title explains what subject the podcast will be covering. Mackay also divides many of these episodes into a certain number of tips. This makes it easier for the listener to take notes as needed and focus on specific areas of interest.
In the first episode, Mackay begins by discussing the importance of niches. He explains that if a listener has a passion for a specific topic, it is likely that other listeners will as well. These kinds of insights come from many successful years of building various podcasts.
Furthermore, Mackay is a likable presence. He is easygoing, and his sense of humor helps explain some of the more complex concepts. The podcast never feels like a lecture but more like a knowledgeable friend is speaking.
New episodes of Smarter Podcasting: Podcasting For Beginners premiere weekly on Mondays.
