With a range of podcasts cropping up now, it's time to start your own. Here's how

Small beginnings
Start with whatever equipment/device you have at home. Initially, I borrowed a sound recorder and a camera from friends, until I knew I could invest in something more solid. If you don't have a recorder, the Anchor app is good for recording and easy to use.
Being vulnerable
My podcast is based on overthinking and I am overthinking stuff that could be so personal that sometimes it feels strange that I'm outing myself. Initially, I wouldn't open up and give details, thinking I was the only one who thinks this way. This shouldn't be the case — your listeners should feel like you are pals with them.
Keep a bank
You never know when your guests or you could be busy to record as per timelines, so keep a bank ready. And sometimes, when you hear something you've recorded, you will hate it — your voice, the flow or the audio — and it is completely okay to feel that way. Chuck that away and take another chance.
End with a message
Start with an introduction about yourself and move on to the topic under discussion, but reserve the last 10 minutes for summing up the takeaway.
