Shownotes Transcript

For years I've told people THE BEST ratio I've ever achieved is 4 TO 1 when it comes to making a podcast episode. In other words, a 15-minute podcast will take an hour. 

I asked my audience how long it took them from idea to pressing publish. They shared their workflow and the amount of time spent per episode.

For me, my average is about 6 to 1. So a 15-minute podcast will take 90 minutes.

Based on the data from the audience, they averaged 10 minutes for 1 minute of podcast. So a 15-minute podcast will take an hour and a half. To see my flow, visit the website at https://www.schoolofpodcasting.com/803)
