SOUTH AFRICA'S
PODCASTING DESTINATION

Audio podcasts. Video podcasts. Your studio, under one roof.

Great podcasting starts with a clear sense of “brand” and a strong understanding of who your audience is.

Using video can expand reach and give visual context to conversations. While prioritizing crisp, professional audio, will always be part of the podcasting fundamentals. Two sides. One coin.

This workshop will give you the building blocks and guidelines to make every episode a worthwhile listen by learning how to create conversations that entertain, educate, and empower.

Audio, video, or both?

BEFORE YOU BUY
Know what you need. Buy once.

Most podcasting gear gets bought twice, once for the show you think you’re starting, and again six months in when you realise you should have asked different questions up front. Get the questions right now, and the gear decisions answer themselves. Here’s where to start.

How many people are on the mic?

Solo show, two-host interview, four-person panel? Plan for the format you'll be running in 12 months — not just episode one. Buying for two and outgrowing it in six months is the most common mistake.

Audio only, video only, or both?

Audio is faster to start, cheaper to scale, and reaches Spotify and Apple. Video opens up YouTube and short-form clips for social. Most podcasters end up doing both — knowing where you're going changes what you buy today.

Studio, location, or both?

A fixed studio setup uses different gear to a mobile or locationbased show. If you'll be recording interviews on the road, wireless gear and onboard recording change the equation.

Live stream or record-and-publish?

Streaming live to YouTube or Twitch needs different routing and processing to a record-then-edit workflow. Some gear handles both — some doesn't.

Hobby, side hustle, or business?

Your ambition sets the ceiling on what makes sense to spend. A weekly hobby show and a commercial production studio need very different setups — both are valid starting points.

What does success look like in 12 months?

If the answer is "10 episodes published" — start lean. If the answer is "monetised, multi-cam, sponsored" — invest in the platform you can grow into without re-buying.
