Mic Drop Podcast Workshop

What if your voice could reach hundreds, or even thousands of people every single week? Imagine being the go-to authority in your niche, with your own professional podcast, without the tech headaches or endless Googling.

Most people dream about starting a podcast… but never launch because they’re overwhelmed by equipment, apps, editing, and how actually to get it out into the world.

We’ve partnered with Resilient New Media, Calgary’s podcasting experts, to deliver a hands-on, practical workshop that cuts through the noise and gets you from idea to launch with confidence.

What you'll learn:

• The exact equipment you need (and don’t need)
• The apps & platforms that simplify production
• How to map your first three episodes
• A step-by-step launch plan so you can hit publish with confidence

And you won’t just learn. You’ll walk away with a fill-in workbook that organizes your entire podcast roadmap.

At the end of this 2.5-hour workshop, you’ll walk away with:

• Printed workbook to map out your podcast idea and launch strategy.
• Hands-on introduction to professional studio setup—so you know exactly how the gear works.
• Proven 6-point launch strategy to help you launch your show successfully.
• Opportunities to ask technical questions around equipment and installation.
