Join our intensive sprint to go from idea to published podcaster. Get expert guidance, proven systems, and the accountability to finally hit publish—this Friday, not next year.
Join the December Sprint - $97Trusted by 50,000+ podcasters worldwide
The mic is in the box. You've watched 47 tutorials and are paralyzed by perfectionism. Meanwhile, someone with half your knowledge launched last week.
RSS feeds? ID3 tags? Editing nightmare? You're smart enough to figure this out, you just need a clear step-by-step system.
Recorded two episodes then life happened. Now it's just a guilty, unfinished project. You need deadlines and accountability.
Launch in December. Lead in January.
Everyone waiting for January thinks:
Here's the truth: You'll never feel "ready". January will be just as busy as December. The best time to start was yesterday.
The second best time is December 1st.
By Dec 6th, you'll have a published podcast. By Jan 1st, you'll be ahead of everyone who's "planning to start."
A proven system that takes you from idea to published podcast through daily missions, live coaching, and expert feedback.
Nail your concept using our PATH Framework. No more second-guessing your niche or format.
Create your first episode. We'll show you the "great enough" approach that gets you publishing regularly, not perfecting.
Join our live 90-minute checkpoint. Get questions answered, concept refined, and confidence boosted.
Edit your episode (the simple way), set up hosting, and submit your audio for expert feedback.
Apply feedback, publish to all major platforms, and celebrate becoming a podcaster!
The exact system we've used with thousands of podcasters to nail your concept.
Step-by-step guidance on recording, editing, and hosting setup.
90-minute checkpoint with Colin Gray covering everything LAUNCH!
Submit names, concepts and clips and get personalized feedback from our team.
Technical & strategic support, every day, to get you unstuck.
Launch alongside a private cohort. Share wins and get support.
We're giving you a full month of Alitu—our podcast maker built for creators—completely free.
Prefer other tools? No problem. We'll show you free alternatives, too. But Alitu is there to cover your first month, and you can always migrate later if you don't have the budget to subscribe long term.
After your free month, keep Alitu for $38/month or use any other tools you prefer. Zero obligation.
Colin is the founder of The Podcast Host. With a PhD in online education and 15+ years in podcasting, he has helped tens of thousands of podcasters launch.
He's not just a teacher - he's built a 7-figure business around podcasting and created the systems you'll use this week.
"Most people don't have a knowledge problem. They have an execution problem. This challenge is designed to get you doing, not just learning."
Short Enough to Commit, Long Enough to Launch
That's exactly what everyone else is thinking. Which means January will be crowded with new podcasters competing for attention. December launches are quieter, less competitive, and give you a massive head start.
Plus, let's be honest: if you're waiting for the "perfect time," you'll be waiting forever. The sprint is 5 days. You can find 5-7 hours between Dec 1-5. And by Dec 6th, you'll have something 95% of "New Year launchers" will never achieve—an actual published podcast.
Expect around an hour per day, plus a bit of wiggle room. Total commitment: 5-7 hours across the week.
You can ask questions and get help throughout the week in your own time. Post your questions in the Challenge space, and we'll answer you asap! There's only one live session during the week, and it'll be recorded and available immediately. Quite a few participants watch the recording and still launch successfully.
If you can send an email attachment, you can podcast. We've stripped away jargon. We've worked with podcasters in their retirement - 65 years old or more - and still helped them get comfortable with everything they need to podcast.
A $50-100 USB microphone (or even your smartphone) is enough to start. We'll help you get professional sound with good value gear.
One-time payment. No subscription.
Limited spots so we can give personalized attention.
Compare: 1:1 Coaching ($200+/hr) vs. The Challenge ($97 total)
Five days from now, you'll be a published podcaster with episode one live. While everyone else is adding "start podcast" to their 2026 resolution list, you'll already be growing your audience.
