Most of the public speakers I work with are not on a stage every week. They are booked a few times a month, and the rest of the time their audience has no easy way to keep hearing from them. That gap is exactly why I built the micro podcast package. Here is how it works and why it fits speakers so well.
What Is a Micro Podcast?
A micro podcast is a show that is 10 minutes or less. It shares one thought, one theme, one idea. It is a quick snip of audio that is easy to record and easy to listen to. You record about 10 minutes of audio a week on your phone, a camera, or Zoom, and send it to me. If the recording part sounds confusing, I help with that too. You do not need to figure out the tech.
What You Get Each Week
From that one recording, I produce a full audio episode edited to broadcast quality. I remove the ums, uhs, stutters, restarts, coughs, and the dog barking in the background. I write your show notes and handle your RSS feed, so your episode reaches the major podcast apps without you lifting a finger. I also make a short-form vertical video, a static image post, and a Pinterest pin. Pinterest is a search engine, and your show belongs there. Your time investment stays under an hour a month.
A Podcast That Booked a Speaker Twice
I belong to the Forum of Executive Women in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Each month we bring in a professional speaker. Earlier this year, our president listened to Ginny Priem’s podcast, Unsubscribe, and loved it so much that we booked Ginny for a keynote. Six months later, she led a breakout session at another event we hosted. After her keynote, we could follow her show and keep learning from her. I am still listening in October. Her podcast gave our group somewhere to go after the speech.
Content That Shows Up for You
You cannot always share videos of your speeches. Sometimes you do not have the footage, you are not allowed to post clips, or you do not want to give away the whole farm. A micro podcast gives you steady content for LinkedIn, Facebook, groups, and TikTok. You open the folder, grab the file, and hit post.
Keep Your Speaking Skills Sharp
Speakers do not have a gig every week. One of my clients, a longtime speaker who had never podcasted, told me it is a similar muscle but also a completely different one. Flexing it every week means you are loose and ready when the next booking comes through. A podcast is also street cred, especially once you have good numbers behind it.
Ready to Start?
My mission is to make podcasting easy and accessible. I have over 10 years of experience in audio and video content creation, and I want three more micro podcast clients before the year ends. The contact form and my free school community are linked in the show notes. Let’s get the ball rolling before the new year starts.
Key Takeaways
- A micro podcast is 10 minutes or less and shares one idea.
- You record weekly, and I handle editing, show notes, RSS, and social assets.
- A podcast gives your audience somewhere to go after your speech.
- Weekly episodes keep you visible and your speaking skills sharp.
If you speak for a living, a micro podcast might be the easiest marketing move you make this year.
