Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about why you might make an ‘Episode Zero’. This is the name given to a type of introductory or “pre-launch” podcast episode. It isn’t *essential* to create an Episode Zero. But many podcasters do – and there’s a few good reasons why it might be worth considering for your own show. An Episode Zero can be similar to a promo trailer in the way it introduces your show and your topic. The main difference is length. An Episode Zero would ideally still err on the shorter side of, say, 3-6 minutes. But that still gives you a lot more time than a 30-second trailer. One of the biggest benefits of an Episode Zero is that it gives you that “one published episode” needed to submit your show everywhere. That means your podcast can be fully set up and ready to go by the time you publish your first “proper” episode. For a deeper dive on this topic, head on over to http://ThePodcastHost.com/epzero
