When you're finished reading and practicing you might ask, "How will I know when I am good enough to launch my podcast show?" The answer I will leave you with is this: When you can prep a podcast fast and jump into creating it as if talking to a friend on the phone. You won't feel nervous, you will feel motivated. You are no longer figuring out how your equipment works; you are just doing it. Time will seem to fly by as you record, and your passion and creative energy take over. It will feel organic, and most importantly, podcasting will feel fun. That's when you will be ready to go out there and record show number one and start the social media buzz.

You will make a great first impression, and most importantly, you will quickly rise above the noise!
