With many new podcasts starting every day, great content is the best way to differentiate yourself as a podcaster and help build a loyal audience. For most of us, great content starts with making good plans and thinking about our format and audience before we begin to produce.

Donna Papacosta of Trafalgar Communications has put together a fantastic checklist of things to consider when planning a new podcast. The list could also be useful for someone who would simply like to check their podcast against it, and see if anything could be further fine-tuned. Thanks, Donna, for making this resource available to us.
