In-Studio Podcast Systems Bootcamp
Learn How to Start, Run, and Publish a Podcast
Hands-On, in a Real Studio
The In-Studio Podcast Systems Bootcamp is a practical, small-group training program designed for people who want to learn how to start and run a podcast using a simple, reliable system they can operate on their own.
This is not a lecture.
This is not theory.
You’ll learn by seeing the system demonstrated live and then working with the equipment yourself.
Everything is taught using a clean tabletop setup that reflects the kind of podcast system most people would realistically use at home or in a small business setting.

- set up a podcast system
