If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, then you know my husband and I produce a weekly dinosaur podcast. After 6 years of making the podcast, we’re now working on a comprehensive course to teach other people how to make podcasts. If you want to launch your own show, please sign up for our email list and get a free ebook to help you jumpstart your first five episodes.
For now, here are some additional resources to help you, especially if you’ve already got an idea and have started working on your show.
