The solo podcast format
Going solo means no one else holds you back — and no one else holds you up. Here's what that really means.
Solo's big benefit: you don't need anyone else to record. You're building your reputation as the authority on your subject. The podcast is exclusively yours, so you make all the calls on sponsorship, monetisation, and direction.
But solo is also the most intimidating style for beginners. The biggest challenge is getting over the feeling that you're 'talking to yourself' — and realising you're actually talking to your listener.
