Stop letting "someday I'll start a podcast" sit in your notes app. This 12-week plan turns an AI tutor into your producer and first listener: it helps you find a show worth making, get clean sound out of gear you already own, ask questions that get real answers, cut a rough take into something tight, and get an actual episode live in a real feed. You'll learn the whole pipeline — concept, sound, conversation, edit, publish, grow — so you can fix any episode that isn't working, not just follow a checklist.
This is a deep digital guide: 12 ready-to-run, ~60-minute weekly sessions. You lead each session — every step is timed and every AI prompt is written for you, so no prior podcasting or AI experience is needed. - "Never used an AI chat assistant? Start here" — a five-minute onboarding that gets a complete beginner from zero to ready, using a free AI assistant. No paid plan required. - Four rescue prompts in the front matter for when a session goes sideways, plus 12 weekly sessions, each with a plain-language concept, a concrete worked example, a minute-by-minute session plan, copy/paste AI-tutor prompts at every step, a "show me" checkpoint, common mistakes to avoid, and practice. - One real, published episode and a release plan for the ten after it.
Adults with something to say who want to launch a real podcast people actually finish — no studio, no existing audience, and no experience with recording or editing required.
A raw chatbot will happily generate you a list of "podcasting tips" and move on. This pack ships the structure and depth it lacks: a real 12-week progression through the whole pipeline — concept, sound, conversation, edit, publish, grow — with a tutor set up to work from your actual audio, ask before it tells, and give you an honest read on whether a stranger would keep listening. You finish with a real episode in a real feed, not a folder of half-finished ideas.
