334 Musician Podcaster Bree Noble – From Kitchen Recordings to Industry Authority

As a musician podcaster who has built multiple successful shows over the past decade, Bree Noble represents what's possible when artists embrace podcasting as both a creative outlet and business tool. In this conversation, she shares her evolution from recording in her kitchen to becoming a recognized industry authority featured in Forbes.

Bree reveals the technical and logistical challenges she faced transitioning from Women of Substance streaming radio to becoming the speaking host of a podcast. She discusses why she wishes she'd front-loaded more episodes before launching and shares practical strategies such as having set interview questions ready and using scheduling tools like Acuity.

Our discussion covers her journey through multiple iterations of her shows, from Women of Substance to Female Entrepreneur Musician to the current Profitable Musician Show rebrand in 2020. Bree explains how AI tools have transformed her workflow and why episode swaps and collaboration episodes are particularly effective strategies for musician podcasts.

For musicians considering podcasting, Bree offers frameworks for determining whether podcasting suits your situation while warning against underestimating the consistency required to build an audience. She shares how podcasting deepened her relationships with listeners and created networking opportunities that traditional music marketing approaches never provided.

Whether you're exploring podcasting as a new creative outlet or looking to establish authority in your field, this episode provides actionable insights from someone who has successfully navigated every stage of podcast development while maintaining her identity as a musician and entrepreneur.
