Stephen introduces Produced By in episode 000, a show about what it really takes to produce a podcast by going behind the scenes before recording, during the session, and after an episode goes live. The show will cover planning, preparation, editing, publishing, promotion, and building an audience for audio or video podcasts, highlighting that every show is “produced by” someone, whether a solo creator handling everything or a full team. Stephen will interview the people who make podcasts happen to discuss why they started, how their production evolved, challenges, key decisions, and lessons learned, while also touching on technology and exploring what “success” means for different podcasts.
