Course Description
Have you ever wondered why some podcasts capture your attention instantly while others fade into the background?
Behind every engaging show is a mix of thoughtful planning, storytelling craft, and a clear understanding of the audience.
This workshop is designed to take you beyond the basics of recording and give you the creative and practical tools needed to make your idea stand out in a crowded market.
Guided by the award-winning creators of the award-winning Just Lawful Podcast, you’ll learn how to shape your raw concept into a professional-quality format, refine your unique voice, and develop content that resonates with listeners.
Across three interactive sessions, you’ll discover how to define your theme, plan and structure episodes, and apply narrative techniques that keep audiences coming back.
The course culminates in creating and presenting your own demo pilot, giving you the confidence and practical insight to move forward with your podcasting journey.
Bring along your idea, enthusiasm, and readiness to collaborate. You’ll leave with the framework, feedback, and inspiration to record a podcast that feels both authentic and professional.
Course Structure
In the first session, you’ll learn how to frame your podcast idea so that it has both clarity and appeal. Together we’ll explore what makes a podcast truly unique, from developing a strong theme to defining the audience you want to reach. You’ll break down the essential building blocks of podcasting – format, tone, and delivery – while starting to shape your own concept into a practical plan. By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear foundation and the beginnings of a demo episode idea ready to refine.
The second session focuses on storytelling and structure. You’ll discover the formulas and techniques that professional podcasters use to keep listeners hooked, from creating compelling openings to pacing an episode for maximum impact. You’ll work hands-on with your pilot idea, mapping out segments, flow, and style, and receive guidance on how to turn your idea into a ready-to-record demo episode.
In the final session, you’ll share your demo pilot with the group, receiving constructive feedback and first impressions from your peers. This provides valuable insight into what’s working, what resonates, and where you might want to adjust. Alongside this live review, you’ll get practical advice on next steps, whether that’s recording your first full episode, refining your content, or exploring ways to launch your podcast into the world.
