You Can Start Your Podcast in a Weekend

Posted on January 2, 2026January 2, 2026 By axel

You don’t need months to start a podcast.

You don’t need perfect gear, a fancy setup, or a master plan.

You need a short window and a clear path.

Most people never launch because they wait too long. They research, compare, and second-guess until the idea goes cold. A weekend changes that. Time limits force decisions. Decisions create momentum.

That’s why this approach works.

In 72 hours, you go from idea to a live episode. No fluff. No endless prep. Just progress. Along the way, a Custom GPT acts as your quiet guide, helping you think through decisions, answer questions, and keep moving when doubt shows up.

Your first episode doesn’t have to be great.

It just has to exist.

And once it does, everything changes
