In this learning session our guest speaker, Laura Ellis, from the Louisville Public Media Podcast Incubator, will share insights and work through some good reasons and bad reasons to start a podcast. In this session, we will explore different formats, production schedules, and episode structures that can make podcasting more or less labor intensive. And we will flag some of the pitfalls that might stand between a new podcaster and sustainable success.
