We've been producing a podcast out of Ferndale for four years. It's....not a pain to come up with content, per se. But it is a time commitment. Not even necessarily a huge time commitment. Honestly, I've always thought of and seen library podcasting as a unique form of social media, and/or marketing, so you basically just need to sort of turn on that part of your brain that activates during brainstorming sessions for social media content. Hmm, if that makes any sense? It's 5pm after a long day 😅

But we think it's definitely worth it. If you keep at it, you could attract the attention of publicists at major publishing companies who will then pitch you author interviews

Let me know if you have any questions!

For those of you who may do podcasts for your library, how do you find the experience? Is it a pain to come up with content on a regular basis? We have debated starting a library podcast but worry about how sustainable it would be long term. Any tips/tricks/thoughts, etc?
