Dear podcast people,

I just graduated from business school and am turning into full-time podcasting. The catch: I am learning everything from scratch.

German-speaking podcast, guest-based format, average 10k–15k listeners per ep, occasional peaks of 50k–60k.

There are only two of us running this, and my role consists of basically everything operations-related: recording, editing, cutting, social media, editorial planning, communication, etc.

The problem: I am completely drowning in the workload. I know that doing one episode a week should be manageable, but I desperately lack the proper workflows and tool mastery to make it efficient.

I am looking to connect with some skilled, experienced podcast producers or editors who might be generous enough to jump on a quick call, share some knowledge, or look over my current setup.

I want to understand how a professional podcast is managed top-to-bottom:

• File management: How are raw files recorded, transferred, and stored cleanly?
• Hardware & software
• Editing & post-prod: What templates are best for speed without sacrificing quality?
• Social media pipe: How is the editing workflow linked to social media clipping? Best tools?
• Editorial: When and how are content decisions made efficiently?
• Analytics: Which KPIs to track? How?

I don’t want to bog this post down with every single micro-detail, but I think getting a high-level view of standard professional workflows would be life-changing for me right now.

If anyone is willing to mentor or just share some wisdom, please drop a comment or send me a message.

I’d immensely appreciate it!
