Week 1 - Podcasting
Hosted by: Dan Hewlett from the Meat and Greet BBQ Podcast
The Meat and Greet podcast covers all things BBQ and is co-hosted by two BBQ obsessed social bloggers. Every week Dan and his co-host Owen are joined by guest from the BBQ community to find out why they love to barbecue. Their show is for anyone who has an interest in barbecue and to hear about other people’s experiences, good and bad, and the equipment they favour to achieve their best cooks.
Dan will introduce you to the process of establishing a successful podcast, reaching your target audience, the best format/structure formulas, and insight into the planning of each show to maximise engagement.
