Podcast Planning Calendar

Podcast Interview Planner

As a podcaster, chances are you are going to do a lot of interviews. Use this template to plan what you want to discuss with your guest and what topics you want to explore. Write out your questions in the blanks so you are completely prepared for the interview. Later, in post production, you can use this to start your editing script.

Podcast Checklist

This template will help you keep track of what gear you need for recording day. You can also use it as a printable checklist for tasks when recording (start mixer, press record, track volume, etc.)

Listener Persona Worksheet

A big part of planning is knowing who your audience is. This worksheet will help you create listener personas so you can define your target audience. This exercise helps you think through how people will read or hear about your show, what will drive them to subscribe to your show (and your email list), and how best you can frame your marketing to them.

Podcast Growth Roadmap

Clearly design your communication plan with our roadmap template! What are your keywords? On which platform do you plan to distribute your content? Which social media channels do you want to activate within a month? Step back and think about your marketing plan, map out your tasks, and track your progress.

Plan For Business and Success!

If you want your podcasting to be a source of income, planning for it can get you there. With a podcast you can:

- Sell podcast merchandise through a digital shop like Etsy
- Promote affiliate links to get seller commission when a listener makes a purchase
- Cut advertising deals for companies who want to promote their newest sale to your audience
- Create episodes that can only be accessed by paid subscribers

The possibilities are endless!

But you can’t just have a notion of what you want, you must have a plan for your project.

First you have to:
- Set up your episode production so your work is consistent and reliable
- Make excellent podcast content through tasks like picking the right topic and writing a solid script
- Grow your download numbers by having listeners review and share your episodes
- Increase your podcast’s social media followers by using tools like Canva

Even if you only want podcasting to be a creative outlet for you, know that creators make some of the best, original media when they plan it out.
