👋 Hi! I’m Suzy Chase. I’m your pod partner and new best friend. I’m here to support your podcasting dreams with real advice and inspiration from someone who’s been there. And as an OG female podcaster since 2005 who made my mark when there were maybe 5 women in the space back then, I’ve been through it all.

  • I’ve overcome the self-doubt and paralysis that comes with a great idea.
  • I’ve troubleshot tech glitches and marketing mishaps.
  • I’ve battled toxic male personalities boxing me out of the podcast conversation, telling me I don’t deserve to be here.

But after 16 years in the podcasting space, I know I deserve to be here. And you deserve it too.

My podcasting story began in 2005 when I launched my first show, The Groove Radio. Now, the longest-running soul music podcast, it was my answer to the music I wanted to hear on the radio, I was focused on offering creative, unique programming in the pod space. In 2015, I released Cookery by the Book, the #1 cookbook podcast and established the cookbook niche in the arts/food podcast category.

Sixteen years ago, I transformed my passions into content. And I did it by being passionate about the process every step of the way.

The podcasting world is different now than when I began. With more popularity comes more competition and increasing importance to do it right. But doing it right takes time — time I’m guessing you don’t have right now.

The Pod Process Course isn’t a traditional “How To” class sharing tips you can easily Google yourself. The Pod Process Course is my lived experience and tested process broken down into four easy and digestible modules. It’s 16 years of wins, losses and pivots, backed by podcasters I’ve coached all over the world. It’s a lift-you-up, help-you-out roadmap based on real challenges and real solutions. It’s the lifeline I wish I had. When you complete it, you’ll have everything you need to plan, record, publish and launch with confidence. And if you seek a more personal approach, The Pod Process Coaching program offers the best of The Pod Process Course through one-on-one personalized sessions with me. I adore partnering with fellow podcasters.

So, if you’ve dreamed of starting a podcast, but haven’t had the time, the inspiration, the confidence or the tools to make it happen, today is the day to stop dreaming and start doing it…together.
