“There are “how-to” courses for starting a podcast and then, there is Jump Start Your Podcast. Paula’s course offers a unique perspective that is not just the nuts and bolts and technical “how to’s” of getting your podcast launched; she can also provide intuitive insight to help you discover fears that are keeping you from realizing that dream. Paula is a powerful life coach and her guidance really helped me overcome unexpected vulnerability when I launched the Midlife Schmidlife podcast. Point blank, my podcast most likely wouldn’t have happened and would still be one of those things I want to do “some day.” If you are thinking about starting a podcast, Jump Start Your Podcast is the ONLY online course I would consider.”

– Liz Applegate, Midlife Schmidlife

“Jump Start Your Podcast is one of the best things I’ve done for myself, hands down. I knew I wanted to start a podcast but had no idea where to start. Paula’s class broke everything down for me in manageable steps and Paula is there guiding you every step of the way. Bonus, Paula is super fun to work with and loves talking about the heart behind your podcast as well as the technical stuff. When I was pulling my hair out over my launch Paula was there to answer questions and support me. If anyone is interested in hosting a podcast but feeling overwhelmed I would say work with Paula, she’s the bee’s knees!”

The class will outline the basics of what you need to start a show, and it’s recommended that you are relatively comfortable with (or feel comfortable learning how to do) things like: setting up or updating a blog, uploading files to a dropbox or similar type of tool, and learning new software. Basic instruction will be provided, and there will be portions of self study required by students. You do not have to have a website or blog up and running (nor do you necessarily need one to launch a podcast). The class departs from an assumption that you already have a site or are comfortable building and updating one on your own.
