So far the creator is sharing information that is very relevant. Not a lot of fluff but important nuggets that provide fundamentals before getting into the core of the content. I like the teaching model. It helps me break it down in my mind and feel that I can tackle it in bite-sized chunks.

Giving us the background on where Podcasting started, eg timeline from the Radio, Internet phase, describing what it is, ie digital audio file that is 'portable and versatile'. Its many formats in Series, Seasonal, the different themes one can chose like the Crime narrative, Children's story etc.

As someone new to the podcasting space, I am gaining a wealth of valuable insights and practical knowledge that I believe will be key to effectively plan, produce, and run a podcast. The course content is clear and well-structured. Loved the use of different podcast ideas

It's very interesting. I am struggling with the time. All the info is excellent, it's just hard to fit the time required into my schedule. Some shorter videos would be good.

I have just started the course, and just alone by watching the first introductory videos I am totally inspired and hooked. And having in mind all the lessons enlisted for this course I feel I have landed in a very special and super helpful course. Samantha makes it so easy to follow her - in the way she has structured the course and in the personal way she presents and shares her knowledge. She makes learning really fun and I can’t wait for the next lesson! This course is as addictive as any one of my favourite podcasts, and truly: learning can’t get any better than that :)

It's ok so far. Wish she had discussed more about how to find out if the podcast name will be accepted and what iTunes and Apple podcasts are looking for in a name.
By Terri George on 7/10/2024
I love your presentation including clear and paced teaching. I appreciate knowing a little about your family and what motivated you to establish a podcast. I am excited and looking forward to learning more.
