Podcast Consulting

As the co-creator of the Teacher Think-Aloud Podcast, I have shaped the podcast from its very beginnings. Some challenges I’ve undertaken:

 

  • Choosing a name for the podcast that reflects its focus on reflective practice for teachers;

  • Designing a logo and developing consistent branding for the podcast across its website, social media, and other appearances;

  • Building and maintaining the podcast’s website, leveraging SEO, and distributing episodes on hosting platforms;

  • Planning monthly episode content, writing scripts, scheduling guests, and writing interview questions;

  • Engaging guests in dynamic interviews that communicate the impact of their work and tangible takeaways for listeners;

  • Editing episodes that weave together interview recordings and host commentary in a seamless, engaging listening experience, using tools such as Audacity (manual editing) and Descript (AI-powered).

 

Work with me, and take your new or existing podcast to new heights!
