Hi, I’m Julia Levine, aka The Podcast Teacher™… career educator and host of Podcasting Over 50.
For the business owner in your 50s, 60s, or beyond who’s been stuck in planning mode…
You’ve been thinking about starting a podcast for a while now.
You know it would help you grow your audience, build trust, and connect with the right people.
But every time you try to move forward, the questions start piling up.
What gear do I need? Where do I record? What do I talk about? Is it too late to start?
So you keep researching. Consuming. Taking notes.
And somehow, you still feel just as unsure as when you started.
Here’s what I tell my students: you’ve spent decades building real expertise. You don’t need to have it all figured out to share it.
You just need the next right step.
And this roadmap gives you exactly that.
The Podcast Roadmap is a free guide from Julia Levine, The Podcast Teacher, that walks business owners in their 50s, 60s, and beyond through the 5 simple steps to launch a podcast: Strategic Planning, Content Creation, Production, Distribution, and Launch & Market. Each step includes a plain-English checklist, so you always know exactly what to do next. It’s based on the same Fearless Framework Julia has used to help more than 1,000 podcasters start and grow their shows.
The same way anyone starts a great podcast: with a plan, not with expensive gear. You don’t need a production studio, a big social media following, or advanced tech skills.
You need to know which decisions to make first, which ones can wait, and which ones don’t matter at all. That’s exactly what the 5 steps inside the Podcast Roadmap give you.
And your decades of business experience? That’s your advantage. You already have the expertise your future listeners are searching for… the roadmap simply shows you how to get it out of your head and into their earbuds.
Not even close. There are around 4.5 million podcasts, and only about 10% are actively publishing. Compare that to 600+ million blogs, and podcasting is dramatically under-saturated. Meanwhile, 40% of Americans listen to podcasts every week. The audience is there and growing… the voices of experienced business owners are what’s missing.
Strategic Planning, Content Creation, Production, Distribution, and Launch & Market. The free Podcast Roadmap breaks each step into a simple checklist so you can move from idea to launched podcast in order, without overwhelm.
No. Most new podcasters can start with a simple USB microphone and free recording software. The Podcast Roadmap covers equipment in Step 3, and the short version is this: clarity and consistency grow podcasts. Fancy gear doesn’t.
