Don't Let Tech Scare You: Podcasting Is Easier Than You Think!

Your Podcast Consultant: Podcast Tops To Avoid Podcasting Mistakes

If you're sitting there sweating bullets about diving into the world of podcasting because technology gives you the heebie-jeebies, relax, my friend. The real villain stopping you isn’t the tech; it’s your brain playing tricks on you.

Seriously, we chat about how the fear of technology is just a fancy excuse to avoid trying something new. Trust me, if you turn down the radio when your phone rings, you can totally handle mixing audio for your podcast. It might seem tough at first, but like everything else, it gets easier once you give it a shot.

You've Been Thinking of Starting a Podcast

Ever sat down and thought, "Man, I totally want to start a podcast, but my tech skills are basically at a toddler level?" Yeah, I get it. We've all been there, staring at our devices like they might bite us or something. But here’s the kicker: it’s not the technology that’s holding you back, it’s your brain.

Seriously. In this episode, we dive into the real culprit behind your podcasting fears. It’s not some high-tech wizardry that’s out of your reach; it’s the mindset that says, "I can’t do this." We share some examples, like a client with 40 tabs open on Chrome—because who hasn’t been there? We explore how the fear of tech is often just the fear of trying, and trust me; we’ve got the laughs and the insights to help you kick that fear to the curb. It’s all about realizing that everything seems hard until you actually do it, so let’s get you podcasting, shall we?
