Podcast Now Course

The comprehensive Podcast Now Masterclass currently costs $1,597. This is a special introductory price for a course valued at over $16,000, and it includes lifetime access to everything in the course—with no tiered access, no restrictions, and no extra fees. Ever. You will also have access to any new course materials I create, even if you’ve already graduated from the program.

You can pay for the course all at once in one lump sum, or take advantage of the 12-month payment plan.

The course price will increase the next time it is offered—but never for those of you who have already paid.

If you are a marginalized podcaster and the cost of the course is prohibitive for you, a limited number of scholarships will be available. Please see the scholarship FAQ below.

Note: Alternately, if you would like to sponsor a marginalized podcaster through a scholarship, please let me know!

Why yes! Payment plans are available.

You can choose to pay for the course in full ($1,597) and save a bit of money, or you can enroll and make 12 (twelve) monthly payments of $175 each.

If you find the cost for the program prohibitive, there are limited scholarships available for marginalized podcasters! You can find out more about scholarships below.

You can dive in to the rich wealth of information the Podcast Now Masterclass offers as soon as you enroll for the course!

The Podcast Now Masterclass is a professional development program for driven individuals who want comprehensive, step-by-step training in the art and science of podcasting.

I’ll work with you as your personal podcasting coach in a program that will provide access, guidance, accountability, and community to podcasters in both the fiction (audiodrama) or nonfiction (traditional podcast) arenas.

You may proceed through the program at your own pace, though a loose 12-week window is recommended for maximum effectiveness. You will receive all lessons at once, but I recommend taking one lesson per day, building a comprehensive strategy as you go, and not just jumping ahead to launch. 🙂

Regarding expectations (which are important!), during this program, I will:

• Teach a series of video classes on both beginning and advanced podcasting topics, from strategy and ideation through launch.
• Provide a series of smart, strategic worksheets that will guide you through every step of the process.
• Provide curated professional development materials.
• Provide a private Facebook group where you will find insight, accountability, and community.
• Host weekly live office hours, during which you are welcome to ask questions, get advice, and solicit feedback from me personally.
• Help you develop an individual plan of goals and strategies for your next steps as a podcaster.
• Be available for guidance as you create, produce, and market your podcast.

During this program, you will be expected to:

• Do the work! Simply purchasing the course does not mean you’ll magically end up with a launched podcast in 12 weeks. 🙂 You’ll need to commit to taking this masterclass seriously and following all of the steps in order.

I want to make sure everyone in this program is a good fit for the community, and that I am a good fit as a teacher and coach for you.

With that in mind, I am looking for people who are seeking a positive, challenging, and safe community in which to grow as podcast creators.

You’re a good fit for this course if you’re motivated—you’ve been itching to podcast for a while now.

You’re ambitious, because you have stories and words you want to send out into the world, and you want people to hear them.

Whether you have a lot of time to invest or only a little, you want that time to be the most effective it can be.

You’re kind and generous, open to contributing to the community (within your own personal boundaries) and helping others succeed.

You’re passionate—and you may even want to start more than one podcast! This will likely be a lifelong endeavor for you, either as a career or a long-term passion.

You’re open-minded and willing to learn, even if this course challenges your perspective or is harder than you might have expected.

Still not sure whether this course is right for you? Contact me and we’ll talk it out.

Good podcasting takes time. However, I designed this course to fit into the life of someone who has a family, works a full-time job, and strives for a healthy balance in their lives. Video recordings of livestreams will ALWAYS be made available afterward, and you’ll be able to post your achievements and progress to the Facebook Mastermind community whenever it is most convenient for you.

I suggest all students dedicate at least 30 minutes per day (or between 2-5 hours per week) to this course. But that’s just a suggestion. Because you’re busy, and I get that. (Trust me.)

If you complete one lesson per day, it is possible to complete the course in 12 weeks, or you can take a bit longer (or less!). It’s just up to you and what works with your schedule. The more time you are able to dedicate to the course, the more quickly you will advance.

The purpose of this course is to empower and enable you to create a professional-quality podcast. 🙂 

I’m happy to provide feedback and answer questions during weekly group coaching, but you (and/or your team) will be doing the actual writing, recording, editing, etc. for your show.

If you’re interested in one of the limited half-price scholarships I have available for marginalized podcasters, please fill out the Scholarship Application Form prior to signing up or paying for the course. I’ll notify you when I’ve received your application, and we’ll go from there!
