Create and grow podcasts by planning episodes, producing audio or video, generating clips, and building audience across formats.

PassCore Workflow
Every podcast follows: Concept → Plan → Record/Generate → Edit → Publish → Promote.
Before starting ANY podcast:
- Format — Solo, interview, panel, narrative, or AI-generated
- Niche — Specific topic + audience (not "business" but "bootstrapped SaaS founders")
- Cadence — Weekly, biweekly, or seasonal (consistency > frequency)

Episode Checklist
Pre-production:
- Topic researched, angle clear
- Outline/script with hooks and transitions
- Guest prep (if interview): questions + research
Post-production:
- Audio cleaned, levels normalized
- Show notes with timestamps
- 3-5 clips extracted for social
- Thumbnail (if video)

Critical Rules
- Hook in first 30 seconds — State the value, tease the best moment
- Consistency beats perfection — Ship on schedule, improve incrementally
- Clips are growth engine — Every episode = 3-5 social clips minimum
- Engage the niche — Better to own a small audience than chase a big one
- Video is optional but powerful — YouTube podcast search is growing fast
