The final stage of making a podcast begins with branding up your content, ready for publishing.
Remember that this is the craft of that final product that will reach your audiences ears. Whilst your brand is conceptualised during the ideation phase, it is created during this post-production stage. This is yet another stage where knowing your audience, as well as your content, is key in forming the basis for your brand.
Your podcasting branding should and will consist of:
Although your content will change from episode to episode, creating a routine will help listeners better engage with your brand. (For instance, a clear intro with defined theme music across multiple episodes will help create a recognisable format for your listeners).
This will develop a more sustainable audience who will return to you and your podcast, knowing what to expect.
As your series progresses and grows, you will define your own style as a host and as a podcast. As time goes on, you may even start to freestyle or improvise as you become more confident and comfortable. However, ensuring that you stick to a specific format, even if just for the introduction of each episode, will help create a stable brand and foundation for each podcast you create as part of your series.
