Why Podcast on Substack?
There are plenty of platforms to start a podcast—so why Substack?
Because this is more than just a place to publish episodes. Substack allows you to:
Build an email list AND podcast audience in one space as well as a community around what you share about.
Share audio + written content seamlessly. Syndication and video are also easy to add on Substack
Create a paid subscriber tier to monetize your most powerful episodes
Collaborate with other creators and grow faster through cross-promotion
Publish without the overwhelm of managing multiple tools or the expense of most other podcasting platforms
This isn’t about going viral. It’s about building real, deep connection with the people you’re meant to serve.
Your 30-Day Podcast Launch Roadmap
Let’s keep this simple, sustainable, and totally doable. Here’s how to start strong:
Week 1: Clarify & Set Up
Choose your podcast name and description (keep it aligned with your message)
Set up your Substack if you haven’t already (keep it simple—your name or brand is perfect)
Decide on your podcast format: Solo, interview-style, or a mix?
Outline 4-6 episodes you’d like to create
Week 2: Record & Learn
Record your trailer and 1-2 episodes
Test out your mic, lighting, and camera (check out the Podcast Incubator video series for help!)
Learn how to upload your episode + transcript to Substack
Create a workflow that works for you
Week 3: Publish & Share
Publish your trailer + one episode
Share it on social (don’t worry about being perfect—done is better than perfect)
Ask a few trusted friends or peers to listen + leave a comment
Invite your email list or Facebook group to subscribe
Week 4: Engage & Expand
Post another episode (consistency builds trust!)
Respond to comments + start conversations
Explore guesting on other podcasts (or invite someone to yours)
Consider adding a paid subscriber tier to share bonus content or behind-the-scenes reflections

I’ve hosted over 400 podcast interviews and have rolled of the million-downloads mark. I’ve coached countless spiritual entrepreneurs. And I’ve learned this: Podcasting doesn’t have to be complicated.
You don’t need fancy tech. You don’t need a viral moment. You just need your message, your heart, and a simple system to show up consistently.
That’s what Substack gives us—a place to show up fully, without the algorithm deciding if we’re worthy.
