As you develop your concept, you’ll want to consider some key considerations: 

• How much time can you invest in this project?  
  • This could help shape your production schedule.  
  • Will your show produce new episodes weekly? Bi-weekly? Will you create a series of episodes to release as a season?  
• Consider your audience.  
  • Who will this show serve? What are their needs?  
• Should this be a podcast?  
  • Great digital projects match the medium to the message. What about your project would benefit from an audio or video podcast?
