Starting a podcast requires a level of confidence, dedication, and experience, traits that are often associated with entrepreneurs like yourself.
As a entrepreneur, you have the skills and resources to create a top-notch podcast that can entertain and educate your audience.
By focusing on a clear concept and target audience, investing in quality audio equipment, and implementing a consistent content and promotion strategy, you can establish yourself as a thought leader in your field and build a large and engaged audience.
With your expertise and drive, you have the potential to create a highly successful podcast that will make a lasting impact.

I would suggest you do the following -
1. Use OBS and Zoom
2. Have a good mic and camera
3. Prepare questions beforehand
4. Let the podcast guest(s) know these questions beforehand
5. Use a good editing tool to make it crisp and relevant afterward
6. Post on Spotify and Youtube both
7. Let your audience know you've released one on Twitter, IG, LinkedIn
All the best! Looking forward to it.
Some of the best practices that I have observed are
- Define your niche and target audience: Decide what topic your podcast will cover and who your target audience is.
- Choose a name and format: Select a catchy name for your podcast and decide what format it will take (interview, solo, co-hosted, etc.).
- Equipment: Invest in the necessary equipment such as a good quality microphone, headphones, and a computer or digital recorder.
- Record and edit your episodes: Record your podcast episodes, and then edit them to remove any mistakes, background noise, or pauses.
- Publish your podcast: Choose a hosting platform to publish your podcasts, such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Soundcloud.
- Promote your podcast: Promote your podcast on social media, through advertising, or by reaching out to potential listeners and collaborators.
- Consistency is critical: Publish episodes regularly to build an audience and keep them engaged.
- Interact with your audience: Encourage listener interaction through call-ins, Q&A segments, or social media, to build a community around your podcast.
@bhaskar_pratim What is a catchy name you would suggest for an EdTech focused podcast?
@mubeen This depends on the topic though. But a few that i can think of which might catch the audience's attention are
- Smart Boards, Smarter Classrooms
- From Blackboards to Smartboards
- Tech-nically Education
- From Tech-ed in to Ed-tech in India
Will add up a few more if I come across any.
