Lately my Twitter feed has been filled with clickbait and get-followers-quick schemes, promising ridiculous lists of resources like “900 A.I. + No Code Tools you MUST Be Using!”

Seriously? Forget the fact that the actual templates and resource lists always underdeliver.

Who actually has the TIME to sift through all that? I use exactly SIX tools to make professional looking and sounding podcasts. None of them eliminates the need to actually produce quality ideas, but they do allow you to package your content attractively and concisely. So you don’t end up on the growing trash heap of unlistened to (or unlistenable) half-baked podcasts. These tools all have a small learning curve, but once you master them they can save you hours per episode. My motto: Finish your work and go outside.
