The Social Media Church podcast is a weekly conversation with church leaders about social media. On this episode, we break from the typical conversation and open the floor for host DJ Chuang to describe the key ingredients that go into making a podcast so you can think through the preparation for the podcast you should be producing.

DJ,
This is sooooo helpful. No surprise, there. Your stuff is great and your ministry is a gift to communications ministry. Thank you…bless you.
Thank you Meredith! Your comment is all too kind, much appreciated; I love to help people and churches..
Thx so much for mentioning my bundle. I ought to mention that “Podcasting Church” is available by itself at http://amzn.to/podcastchurch and you can even get it free by going to http://bit.ly/podcastchurchfree and signing up to my newsletter.
Let me know if you ever want to talk about it.
Keep up the good work,
Paul Clifford
Thank you, DJ, for mentioning my show The Audacity to Podcast! I’ll comment on your listen of Christian podcasts, too.
Be careful with Buzzsprout. they are free, but they also can mess with yor ID3 tags (see http://podcastreviewshow.com/coffee-and-cigarrettes/ ). Also make sure that whatever media host you use that you can change the URL you send to iTunes. Some of these you end up leetting iTunes hijack your feed and you can’t move to a new host without losing your audience.
@Daniel, @David: thanks for the comments, and appreciate what you’ve both done for the world of podcasting! And, @David, thanks for the notes of cautions & making us aware of those things.
