There's a number of factors, both technical and creative, that need to be considered when you decide to start a podcast. This document covers the main areas of consideration, such as:

Is it actually a podcast that you want to make?
What is the intended audience and reach?
What commitment can you make to it?
Have you got willing guests or contributors (if relevant)?
Accessibility � Transcripts (can be time intensive)
How is it going to be recorded? Can you commit to in-studio times or is it remote?
What promotion will you be doing?

The attached PDF will give you more information on these matters and enable you to make some important early decisions as you consider starting a podcast.
