Like probably fine, just leave it alone.

I think that's kind of why I'm done with that because it's sort of like, I don't want to treat my body like a project. Let it out.

Hi, welcome back. You're listening to Let It Out, a podcast that I host.

My name is Katie Delv Bow. If this is your

first time, what a weird episode to start with, but it's going to be a good one. It's a variety

show of sorts. As many of you know, I've been hosting this podcast for several years since 2013.

And a couple years ago, I started helping other people

start podcasts. I was advising people one-on-one, and then I made a workshop called Let a

podcast out. And the last time I ran the workshop, it's kind of like a writer's workshop,

but for podcasters where there's support

and community and different elements of it. There's eight audio lectures, everything from coming up

with a concept and naming it, interviewing, marketing it and sharing it, getting people to listen to it

and eventually monetizing it. And then I interviewed over a dozen other podcasters who tell about their experience and there's resources and worksheets.

And I'm really proud of it. It's a great thing I made. And here's why, because every time I go

through this workshop, there's live elements of it as well, of connecting and talking on the phone altogether.

I have a contest element where people can submit an episode of their podcast or clip of an episode

from a podcast that they produce over the course of the workshop, and I will air one of them

on this podcast channel that you're listening

to right now plus an interview with one that really lands and resonates with me. So this time that I

ran the workshop last spring through summer, I had a really interesting time with it. Something weird

happened. First of all, I used the

workshop myself to launch a podcast, which is called spiraling, that I co-host with Serena Wolf.
