Chapters
Welcome to the intro lesson of my course, Let's Podcast. Hi, my name is Yukimi Song. I'm a pianist, educator, independent artist, and arts advocate, and the executive producer of the multi-award-winning podcast, The Piano Pod with Yukimi Song. And I'm so glad you're here. Whether you're just starting to think about launching a podcast or you've already got a few episodes under your belt, this course was designed with you in mind. It's for artists, educators, and independent creatives, people who have something meaningful to say and want to build a podcast that feels authentic, intentional, and sustainable. Over the next few modules, I'll walk you through everything I've learned from producing both audio and video podcast episodes for nearly 6 years. I'll share tools, strategies, and real talk, because this isn't just about how to podcast, it's about why and how to do it in a way that fits your life and your creative energy. Here's what you can look forward to. In Module 1, we'll get grounded. You'll explore the creative power of podcasting in today's world and what it means to build a digital presence that's true to you. We'll talk about choosing your topic, understanding the podcasting landscape, and identifying the audience you actually want to reach. Not just the biggest one, but the right one. Then in Module 2, we'll move into planning. This is where we'll break down your show's format, tone, length, and release schedule. You'll make key decisions that shape your podcast's identity so you don't feel lost every time you hit record.
In Module 3, we shift into production. I'll guide you through recording, editing, and getting your episodes ready for release. You'll learn about managing raw media, editing both audio and video, and how to distribute your podcast to the platforms that matter. No fancy equipment or editing degree required, I promise. And finally, Module 4 is all about promotion and growth. I'll show you how to build visibility, stay consistent without burning out, and explore monetization strategies when you're ready. We'll talk about how to share your work in a way that feels generous, not self-promotional, and how to build real connections with your audience. By the end of this course, you'll have more than a plan. You'll have the confidence and tools to create a podcast that aligns with who you are and where you're going. So if you're ready, let's dive in.
