Planning your podcast with the Podcast Canvas

Do you have an idea for a podcast but aren’t sure where to start? Here at the CPI, we like to use this Podcast Canvas, developed by Karen Unland (click to save as a PDF).

Filling out the canvas will help you clarify your show’s audience, focus, and format — which will in turn help you figure out some of your more technical needs, like what kind of recording equipment you need, how often you’ll release an episode, or what resources you’ll need to create to post or promote your show.

Thanks to Karen for letting us share her work, and happy pod-planning!
