Building Your Podcast with Karen Steward

This is the very first episode of the ARKAST podcast, which features interviews with Arkansas podcasters and industry experts.
Our first guest is Karen Tricot Steward, who owns a podcast production company called Power of Pod. She also worked at the NPR affiliate in Little Rock, KUAR, for a number of years as a reporter, anchor, and Content Development Director. She’s created civics education podcasts for the Arkansas Supreme Court. And, she has her own podcast, a true crime podcast called Burden.
I asked her to give us some tips on how to launch and market a podcast. When it was all said and done, she was so excited about the ARKAST podcast and interviewing Arkansas podcasters that she’s since jumped on as a co-host, starting in Episode 2.
