Podcasting can be a very isolating activity. As the podcaster, we often sit alone in front of our computer - doing hours of research, staying on top of social media engagement, building our website, the list goes on. We sit alone behind our mic when we record hoping we are saying things in a way that will resonate with our audience. Often this process can make us feel alone, isolated, and unsure of what we are doing. These feelings of isolation can also build up to frustration- wondering if we are doing it all wrong. Imposter syndrome can kick in- is anyone even listening? Is my message resonating?
So how do we continue to do this thing we love- podcasting...without feeling isolated, frustrated, or confused? We found the best way to alleviate all of these issues is to be an active member of a community of individuals with similar goals. Being an active, engaged member of a community like this can turn an isolating activity like podcasting into a connected and exhilarating venture..

How Many Podcast Episodes do I Need to Record Before Launching? (The Pros & Cons of Batch Recording)
How many episodes should I have before I launch? This question gets asked so many times in every podcasting forum that we participate in and the number varies widely! There are people that say they have 20-30 episodes already recorded and ready to upload. There are people saying they record the same week or even day that they post a podcast episode.
Batch recording is a term used to describe recording several podcast episodes at once. A “batch” is a group... like baking a batch of chocolate chip cookies.
In summary:
- Batch recording in small batches is very helpful to keeping a systematized workflow and lowering the stress of uploading and staying consistent.
- But be aware that you are not batch recording so many episodes that you do not stay in alignment with your audience's pain points or your areas of interest.
- Especially in your first 6 months of podcasting, you will grow and change so much that it is important to stay nimble.
- General recommendation: when launching have your trailer and 2-3 episodes ready to upload so that when you launch people have a few episodes to listen to. From then, try keep at least 2 weeks ahead of schedule so that you do not have to stress about consistently uploading. Because as you all know, consistency matters.
