Sneha Jasrasaria Quick answer

Plan before you record
- Define the audience. Who exactly is this for?
- Pick a format. Interviews, solo episodes or panel discussions.
- Choose a schedule. Weekly or fortnightly, and stick to it.
- List the first ten topics or guests. If you cannot, the idea may need more work.
- Name and cover art. Clear, searchable and on brand.
Episode structure that keeps people listening
- A short hook: why this episode matters.
- Quick introduction of the guest.
- Three or four key questions or sections.
- Practical takeaways.
- A clear call to action, like visiting your website or following the show.
Guests
Good guests bring expertise and their own audience. Invite clients, partners, industry experts and local leaders. Send questions in advance and share clips with them so they promote the episode too.
Measure success
Downloads matter, but so do the outcomes: new leads mentioning the podcast, partnerships formed with guests, clips that perform well on social media and invitations to speak. A podcast with a small but relevant audience can be very valuable for a B2B brand.
