Send a question for 'Ask Megan'Hey, Podcasters! Podcasting is full of well-intentioned advice. Some of it helps, but sometimesit's a myth.In our latest Buzzcast episode, Kevin, Jordan, and Alban unpack three common myths that often slow podcasters down and explain what actually moves a show forward.Myth 1: You must launch with three episodesThis advice has been passed around for years. The theory is that more episodes mean more downloads and a better shot at being featured by Apple Podcasts.But here's the thing: there is no official rule. Apple does not require three episodes to launch or be featured. If it fits your format, launch with more than one. But many shows get featured with a single episode or a trailer.If you do want to be featured, what helps most is submitting for promotion within the first six months of launch, choosing Monday as your feature date in Apple's form, and having strong cover art and titles.We break down the full myth on Buzzcast! Myth 2: You need expensive equipment to sound professionalHigh-end microphones are appealing but not required. A $70 Samson Q2U can sound nearly identical to a $600 studio mic with the right setup.Focus first on the basics: a quiet room, proper technique, and simple editing will take you further than new gear.Myth 3: There are too many podcastsPodcasting might feel crowded, but most shows stop after a few episodes. You'd be surprised that only a fraction of podcasts release new episodes each month!And podcast listenership keeps growing. There is still room for new, high-quality shows that serve a clear audience.As Alban said on Buzzcast: “I always have room in my life for another podcast I love.”You can also check out the Reddit discussion where podcasters shared this myth and others that almost stopped them from starting.TakeawayYou do not need three episodes, a thousand-dollar mic, or perfect timing to launch. You need content that your audience values and the consistency to keep going.If you want to hear more podcasting myths debunked, listen to the full Buzzcast episode! Have a question for Megan? Send a text!That's all for this week! Thanks for listening & keep podcasting!
