The Podcast Cheat Sheet

Starting a podcast doesn’t have to be hard. The Podcast Cheat Sheet is your ultimate technical checklist for setting up a podcast—and it comes with a free video series to walk you through setup.

Starting a Podcast Is Cheaper than You’d Probably Expect

It’s also less complicated than you might imagine. Yes, there are a lot of steps, but you can do it, and we can help. Download our Podcast Cheat Sheet, and you’ll receive Pat Flynn’s How to Start a Podcast video series, two free tools designed to guide you through the process of starting your podcast.

The Ultimate Technical Checklist

Veteran podcaster Pat Flynn has set up many podcasts over the years, and in the process, he’s created a start-to-finish checklist that the SPI team relies on every time we need to get a new show up and running—and now you can have that checklist for free!

This checklist has everything you need in order to get started with your show now.
