How do you plan for a podcast?

Find a few podcasts that inspire you. Listen to how they format their podcast and take notes. For example, how do they start their intros? Do they play music? Talk about themselves? Remind listeners what the podcast is all about? Pay attention to the structure so you know how to model yours.

So you learn along the way and make changes as necessary.
