There is much more that goes into a great podcast than your time on air. A great podcast involves defining your audience, choosing a compelling topic, and planning. Design your podcast in a way that leaves a lasting impression on your audience. You'll know you've hit the mark when your listeners repeat what you've said and share what they've learned with others.
