About this episode
You’ve been hearing about National Podcast Post Month online. Maybe you even have friends who are participating. Or maybe you just learned about it today. Now that the challenge is in full swing is it too late to join? Welcome to the official National Podcast Post Month podcast for the 16th annual global podcast challenge. I am your host and the founder of NaPodPoMo, Jennifer Navarrete. This podcast is presented in two segments. The first segment is a guide for podcasters participating in National Podcast Post Month. The second segment is the behind-the-scenes of how this particular podcast is coming together using Podcasting 2.0’s Live Item Tag done through Blubrry’s PowerPress plugin. Now lets dig into today’s topic: Is it too late to join NaPodPoMo? One of the things about NaPodPoMo is that it doesn’t matter when you discover or when you join during the month. As long as you have 30 podcasts episodes, by the end of November 30th, in whatever time zone you’re in around the world, then you will have successfully completed the challenge. Where to begin? Well, I personally think using your mobile phone with a podcast app is the low lift and easy to get started option. I call mobile + apps level one podcasting. I can tell you that I am a big fan of level one podcasting. Since I always have my phone with me, I’m always ready to podcast when I have a moment or when inspiration strikes. Plus since you already own your phone, you have everything you need to be successful right now. I recommend listening to episode four, The 4 Levels of Podcasting to learn more . You might be feeling the pressure to catch up with everyone else who has been podcasting since day one. I find it best to ease your way into NaPodPoMo. You can always batch record to get to your 30 episodes. Let’s just start with your first episode, then you next episode. Eventually you’ll find you groove and it’ll be easier. You just need to start with one. Now what will you talk about? I suggest listening to episode two, What are you gong to talk about? So is it too late to join NaPodPoMo? Nope! Even if you find out about this on November 30th, and you can record all 30 episodes in before the end of November 30th, you will still have successfully completed the challenge. So the goal is to take action, to try something new, to learn along the way. Tech Challenges + Frustration = Live Podcasting Now onto the second part of the episode where I share the behind-the-scenes of going live with Podcasting 2.0’s Live Item Tag via Blubrry’s PowerPress plugin. In the last episode I spoke about having eveything I needed to go live, but lacking the confidence to push the button and actually go live. At the end I m
