Denison Edge: Podcast Studio: Build & Launch Accelerator

This program takes participants from concept to a launch-ready show. In this hands-on experience, participants define their podcast’s positioning, clarify their target audience, map out their first five episodes, and record and edit a pilot episode ready for launch. Students learn recording and editing fundamentals, craft SEO-informed titles and show notes, develop promotional assets, and build a complete marketing rollout plan. By the end of the program, each participant leaves with a launch-ready first episode, a tangible portfolio piece, and both the technical skills and strategic understanding needed to use long-form content as a powerful marketing tool. Instructor: Cassie Tucker & Ally GoldenCassie Tucker is an independent marketing strategy consultant who helps her clients refine their messaging and communicate their value to potential customers across digital channels.
