Hey everyone (but even more specifically our awesome MPU hosts).
I’ve been co-hosting and running a podcast since 2019, and things have been ticking along mostly using Google Docs for show notes, an increasingly complicated, tabbed Google Sheet to keep track of episode scheduling, guests, assigned hosts, etc for each season along with countless emails, texts and meetings.
I’ve made a few attempts to nudge our group to something a little more tailor-made for project management (including a Trello board) but this fell flat. As we have recently been able to bring on an editor, have an outside review team, and are adding additional hosts, the complexity level has been increasing, and I’d like to try again. I’ve been listening with interest as the Relay group (at least for MPU and Connected) have moved to Notion and all of the initial adjustment period, etc, but it sure sounds like the trade-off has been worth it once the system is dialed in.
It’s been a bit since MPU covered Notion in detail with the Getting to Know Notion episode in 2021, and the discussion about Notion on the Tech that Worked in 2024 episode wasn’t detailed enough to use as a starting pointing for building my own podcast’s Notion hub.
I was hoping people could share:
- Other personal experiences with using Notion to run a podcast
- Resources that helped them get started (guides, videos, etc.), and most importantly
- Any templates, mockups, redacted images of your setups that you are willing to share
Oh, and if MPU was willing to circle back and do a dedicated “Running a podcast on Notion” episode … even better!
Thanks so much!
