Our Topic

This is episode #50 of the Ideas Architect podcast. Yeehar! And, given it’s a milestone issue we thought it would be a good chance to share what we’ve learnt over the past year about publishing a podcast show.

If you’re looking to create your own podcast show it will give you a few clues and raise some questions for making your show happen.
