FAQ
Who is this course for?
It is intended for those looking to start a podcast and have no idea where to start and need help with planning, equipment, software, production, and marketing.

How are you qualified to teach this course?
Tanner is a working Podcast Producer and Podcast Engineer in South Portland, Maine and owns The Portland Pod, Maine's first commercial podcasting studio. The Portland Pod currently produces two internal podcasts while providing engineering and marketing assistance to a small family of local and national clients. Tanner has a professional background in IT Engineering, Internet Marketing, Web & Graphic Design, and Fiction Writing - a unique combination of skills for any one person to have and which help to put him in the position to bring a lot of value to this course that might not otherwise be present.
Why is the price so low?
Because being fancy is what makes these courses expensive. We shot all videos from one angle on an iPhone and captured all screen activity using TechSmith's SnagIt software. We did this because the less time and money we put into being fancy the more time we could put into the actual content. This is important as we want newbies to be able to actually afford the course so more first time podcasters can come out swinging.
I've been podcasting for a while, should I enroll in this course?
That's up to you. I will say that if you struggle with marketing and social, there is definitely value here for you, but this is truly for beginners and so the course is presented in a beginner style.
Will the course be released all at once or over time?
The course is released, in its entirety, on February 18th, 2019. You are then free to work through it at your own pace. You also have lifetime access to the course in the event that podcasting technology evolves and updates to the course are necessary.
When does the course launch?
The course goes live Monday, February 18th, 2019 at 8am.
