PODCAST STRATEGIST • CAPE TOWN

Your podcast should still be running
in three years.
Most aren't.

The shows that last are designed before they're recorded. That's the work Sean does with founders, businesses, and creatives across Africa and beyond.

The Problem

Why most podcasts disappear.

The thinking is done after the recording starts. 

Audience, positioning, purpose, format. Four things that most podcasters decide by accident, under pressure, or not at all.
 

The result is a show that loses momentum too quickly.
 

The solution is not better equipment or more episodes. It is better thinking, applied earlier.

The Method

Four stages. Applied in the right order.

The Podcast Design Method structures the strategic thinking that should happen before anyone presses record. 

1

Intent

Who is this for, and why should it exist? Intent is the work most podcasters skip and it determines everything that follows. 

2

Form

Length, format, tone should be chosen deliberately, not by default. 

3

Voice

The tone and host, ready to carry the show. On-mic presence and the show's public expression are built in this stage. 

4

Release

Distribution, platform selection, launch roadmap are all  built around resources, goals and capacity. 

This is the foundation of the Podcast Launch  Accelerator.
