Launch a podcast FAQ

How much does it cost to start a podcast?+

You can launch for under $100 with a USB mic and free editing software — many start with just a phone and earbuds. Hosting runs about $10–20 a month. This plan builds an equipment list for whatever budget you set.

How many episodes should I launch with?+

Three is the sweet spot: enough for new listeners to binge and for platforms to see you are consistent. The plan has you batch-record all three before launch day.

How do I get my podcast on Spotify and Apple?+

You upload episodes to a podcast host, which creates an RSS feed, then submit that feed once to Apple Podcasts and Spotify. After approval, new episodes appear automatically. The plan includes a submission guide.

Is this template really free?+

Yes. The free plan includes 3 goals a month — this can be one of them, and every deliverable it generates is yours to keep.
