Host a show

The Lifestyle PodNetwork is one of Australia’s fastest growing podcast networks.

In 12 months we have grown to more than 30 shows by working with our hosts to support, nurture and teach them how to become better podcasters. When you join the Lifestyle PodNetwork you are becoming a member of one of the most collaborative and supportive podcast networks in the world.

Podcasters join the Lifestyle PodNetwork for many reasons, here are just some of them:

They want a better sounding podcast. Most people start a podcast because they’ve got a great idea for a show. The problem is our first shows rarely meet our expectations in terms of audience, sound or technique. It falls short of our expectation. Our community of podcasters have wide ranging experience and can encourage and support you with tips, tricks and hints to improve the quality of your podcast.
They want a fun and engaging podcast, with audience participation. Podcasting is fun when you have an engaged community of listeners who hang off your every word. We will help you to engage with your audience and build a strong community around your show.
They want audience numbers that make their podcast worthwhile. Our members share you and your shows with their audiences and we maximise exposure to all our network shows across the network. This means that your show gets great opportunities to get noticed, heard and subscribed.
They want technical assistance and hosting. We provide free blogs and podcast hosting for our hosts who produce regular shows on the network. This means that hosts can focus on what they do best, podcasting!
They want to sell premium episodes of their shows. We have a premium content engine ready and waiting for your show. If you’ve got a show, an audiobook or some other content that people want to buy, we have the hosting solution to help you sell it.
They want to be in control. We are always looking for engaging and interesting new shows with movitated show hosts to join our podcast network. The nice part is that you can move in and away from the network as you wish. We don’t believe in lock-in contracts. We want you to stay because you want to be here, oh and you’re not going to be penalised if you want to leave with your show either. Your show is your show. If you decide to leave then you have every right to take it with you.

Are you seeking something else? By all means, contact us.

Definitely contact us and ask us any other questions you have about joining the network. You will find us approachable and resourceful. And of course, we’d love to have you on board as a Lifestyle PodNetwork podcaster.

Podcast Talent Call

Could you be a fresh new talent, just waiting to be supported and promoted on the Lifestyle PodNetwork? Here are some of the audio and video podcasts we’re hoping to see on the Lifestyle PodNetwork. Is there a show topic here that you could take on?

Is there a show topic we’ve missed? Maybe you’re on to something. You might work in this area or have an interest, or perhaps you have a show you’ve been producing for a while.

If you have a show that you think belongs on the Lifestyle PodNetwork then please contact us. We’d love to hear from you. There is no obligation, no lock-in contracts and if you join us, you’re not signing your show away.

Here’s what you need to podcast!

You don’t need much equipment at all to be a podcaster. You need a computer to record your podcast, and a microphone. There are inexpensive USB microphones that you can plug directly into your computer that will do the trick.

In terms of software, you’ll need some audio editing software and some software to create your audio feeds. The nice part is that all of this is readily available on the net and it won’t cost you an arm and a leg.

If you’re interested in becoming a member, we can make a recommendation on the equipment you’ll need, and some options that might make your podcast sound even better.

If you already have a computer and an internet connection you could get started for under $50!
