NaPodPoMo is the National Podcast Post Month. The idea is simple. It's to publish 30 episodes over 30 days during the month of November.
If you're new to podcasting, or even thinking about getting started, then this might be a good time to try it out.
There's no pressure, and no need to use fancy recording equipment. Your phone is really all you need, along with an idea!
I'm using a basic tie-clip microphone and my iPhone to record this. It's quick and simple to set up and use.
As for an idea; it could be anything - from speaking out about something you're passionate about, film or book reviews, a discussion with friends - anything. There is always someone ready to listen.
You'll also need somewhere to host your podcast and for that I recommend Anchor. It's completely free to use, has a whole host of features and is ideal to get started. What's more, Anchor automatically post to pretty much every platform, such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, Stitcher, Overcast and many, many more.
If you're a veteran, maybe you could try a new format, or test some other equipment.
And don't think you need to record every day.
You could batch record every episode in advance, or just do a few at a time.
However you do it; the only criteria is publishing one episode per day, for 30 days.
Do that and you win! There are no prizes, just the kudos that you did it!

Money makes the world go round....
Talking about money isn't the most sexy of subjects - but it's important that we do talk about it.
How do you manage your money?
I use a personal financial planning tool called Money Dashboard
It's been invaluable with helping me budget and plan my finances and it could help you too.

I recorded this early on Sunday morning, whilst driving.
This was a spontaneous decision, so I wasn’t fully prepped. It was more of an experiment to see how it went.
It’s quite difficult to drive and talk (when thinking of things to say, rather than in a conversation!)
I thought I’d publish it anyway.
For those who are interested, I recorded this on an iPhone 7 using Ferrite.
I uploaded the audio to Anchor and then did some editing direct on the Anchor app.

Why do I podcast instead of making videos? In this mini-episode, I answer this and explain how I put my podcasts together.
Productivity Matters is a series of podcasts designed to help you get better at getting things done.
We all lead busy lives and there must be a better way to keep on-track of all the tasks and jobs that need to be done and always seem to be forgotten.
Each podcast focuses on a favourite app that, when you put them all together will remove the stress and strain of keeping everything in order.
In all but a few cases, the software is free (at least initially) so you can delve in and try it out before committing any hard-earned cash.
