Good pod this: Sonal Chokshi and Connie Chan discuss how they podcast
The pod covers much ground, including:
How a16z programs podcasts...
What's their process, from ideas to publishing...
Do they edit them and how...
Do guests prep, and do they have a script...
What's their technical stack...
Editor-in-chief and showrunner Sonal Chokshi reveals the how, what, and why in a conversation with a16z general partner and podcasting fan Connie Chan.
Much of the podcast goes beyond the a16z Podcast and towards Chokshi's broader principles of 'editorial content marketing,' which hopefully helps those thinking about their content operations and podcasts, too. Including where podcasting may be going.
Also, they share some unexpected moments and lessons learned along the way; their positions on "tics," swear-words, and talking too fast; failed experiments, and new directions.
Good pod this.
