How to Streamline Your Podcast Workflow with Aaron P. Woods from Podpal – Thursday, June 24 at 4:00 PM ET

Despite the growing popularity of podcast listening, Podcast creators struggle to release content regularly due to the fragmented processes & tools available today. The average podcaster uses 5-8 different applications to manage the release of a single episode! Additionally, most new podcasters quit by episode 6 due to the difficulty of podcast administration.

At Podpal we’re changing that! In the same way tools like Jira, Trello, and Asana made it easier to manage business projects, Podpal helps podcast teams become more efficient so they can create content at scale, build an audience, and monetize their brand. In this presentation, we're joined by Aaron P. Woods, Founder & CEO of Podpal to learn more about the major steps related to managing a podcast. He'll teach you how to leverage project management best practices and tools like Podpal to streamline your production workflow. You'll learn how to plan, publish, and promote your show without all the stress and clutter.
