In this episode, I share how I reinvented my podcasting process to make it as efficient as possible. I used to rely on an employee to handle everything, but now I’ve found tools that allow me to record, transcribe, edit, and publish a podcast all from my phone in less than 10 minutes. From using the Dolby On app for recording to Happy Scribe for transcription and ChatGPT for polishing the content, I’ve streamlined everything. I can even merge my intro and outro with the audio before uploading it to Spotify for Podcasters. If you’re thinking about starting a podcast, this episode is for you. I break down exactly how you can use free tools to get your podcast up and running with minimal effort. With this system, there’s no excuse not to start building your community and sharing your insights with the world. Transcription: Hello, everybody! I’m pretty excited today because I’ve had to reinvent my entire podcasting process. I’ve been talking to a lot of people who want to start their own podcasts, and I realized that I could share some insights on how you can do everything from your phone—without any additional effort. Right now, I’m in my car recording this episode. I never use a studio or controlled environment to record because I simply don’t have the time. I typically record podcasts while I’m driving to an event or meeting. Until recently, I had someone on my team who took care of everything—summaries, publishing, scheduling—but when she left, I had to figure out how to manage it all myself. That led me to spend some time finding tools to make the process as efficient as possible. I wanted a system where I could go from recording to publishing a podcast in just 10 minutes. So, here’s the process I came up with: First, I use an app called Dolby On to record. It’s a free tool that lets me record audio, add noise reduction, and even apply mastering to improve the sound quality. Once I have the recording, I upload it to a transcription tool like Happy Scribe. There are free options that give you a few transcriptions per day, so it’s perfect for my needs. After that, I use ChatGPT to polish the transcription, correct any grammar mistakes, and remove unnecessary elements like timestamps. The next step is creating a two-paragraph summary and a teaser for social media, which ChatGPT also helps me with. Once I have the text ready, I use another app to merge the audio with my pre-recorded intro and outro. From there, I upload everything to Spotify for Podcasters, schedule the episode, and that’s it! The whole process takes less than 10 minutes, and I can do it all from my phone. I used to have an employee handle this for me, but now I’ve automated the process. If you’ve been thinking about starting a podcast, there’s no excuse anymore. With all the free tools available, you can easily set up your podcast and start building a community. I’ve recorded over 260 episodes of Sweet Buzz in the past two or three years, and I can tell you, it’s worth it. Give it a try!
