A podcast for authors, publishers and writers, produced well.

A book is often chosen after hearing its author speak. A podcast lets readers meet the writer before they buy.

Why authors and publishers start a podcast

Authors have ideas that go beyond a single book. Audio keeps them in conversation with readers between titles.

What the show can cover

Formats that work for this sector:

  • Interviews with other authors in the field.
  • Chapter ideas explored in conversation.
  • The craft: research, drafts and revisions.
  • Reader questions answered.

What to settle before you record

A book show needs a clear promise, or it becomes a promotion loop. Decide what a listener learns regardless of buying the book.

  • A topic wider than a single title.
  • Clear separation between teaching and selling.
  • Release timing around publication.

How radio.app produces it

You record; we make the podcast. For authors, publishers and writers that means cleaning and levelling every voice, building the intro and sound identity, editing to a script or notes, and delivering finished episodes to one loudness standard. The production process shows each step, and the plans show the starting points.

Questions

Questions, answered.

Is a podcast an audiobook?

No. A podcast is a regular show, usually conversation. An audiobook is a recorded text and a different product.

What do we need to send?

The original recordings, one file per person if possible, and short notes on names, terms and anything to cut. The [recording checklist](/podcast-production/how-to-record-a-podcast-remotely) explains how to capture clean audio.
