🎙️ Podcast Production 101 Goes Live Tomorrow! Tomorrow morning, I'll be teaching Podcast Production 101: From Guest Booking to Going Live, and I'm excited to give everyone a behind-the-scenes look at how I produce a professional podcast episode from start to finish. During this training, I'll be walking through my real production workflow using examples from The Interludes Podcast and The Pull Up Podcast Show. You'll see the systems, tools, and processes I use before, during, and after a live show. Here's a preview of what we'll cover: 🎤 How to prepare for a successful guest interview before anyone logs on 📅 Why a production timeline can eliminate last-minute stress 🎬 What a podcast producer actually does behind the scenes during a live broadcast 💻 An introduction to StreamYard and why it's one of my favorite live production platforms 🤖 How I use AI to create thumbnails, promotional graphics, YouTube descriptions, social media posts, and other marketing content while keeping my authentic voice ✅ Common mistakes new podcasters make—and how to avoid them 🗓️ Live Webinar Saturday, August 1st, 2026 10:00 a.m. Eastern | 9:00 a.m. Central If you're able to join us live, I'd love to have you there! If your schedule doesn't allow it, no worries. I'll upload the replay here within about 24 hours so you can watch it at your convenience. Once it's available, you'll find it in the Courses section of Lighthouse Lab. Thank you for being part of this growing community. I'm looking forward to helping you build a podcast that's organized, intentional, and ready to grow your brand. See you soon! — Val "The Voice" Johnson Founder, Pure Lighthouse Media LLC
