In this episode I'm going to share my thoughts on creating a personal Podcast Checklist.  Spoiler alert: You should have one!

I'm on the Buzzsprout Podcast Community Facebook group, a decent resource for podcasters new and old -- though be careful joining: there are some restrictions in the group policies, and you can't just go posting willy-nilly!  (I've just started another podcast over on Buzzsprout, though the Tech Talk series is hosted on Anchor.  I've also got a podcast over on Podbean.)

On one post to the Buzzsprout Facebook group, a group member showed off his newly acquired Rodecaster Pro, and I replied that he should be sure to create a Podcast Checklist.  A few people responded, wanting me to share mine.  Well... I've made scripts for my Zoom event productions in the past, but honestly, I've been winging it on the few early podcasts I've been doing, though I have accumulated several scribbles on Post-It notes.

Today I've gathered up those notes -- and reviewed my Zoom scripts (with built-in checklists) -- and started compiling my usual "overkill checklist".  It's only overkill when you don't forget anything.  But I've read several posts on the FB group like, "I had a great interview, but I forgot to hit record!"  Yeah, following a checklist would probably have fixed that.
