Introduction
It was once said that there’s a book inside all of us. Many people now feel the same way about podcasts.
Is that you? Have you ever thought that you’d love to give podcasting a try, but just don’t have a clue about how to get started?
Is there a subject you’re passionate and knowledgeable about that you want to share with the world?
Are you a gifted orator who can capture people’s attention with a monologue?
Are you interested in interviewing people, either in the same room or across the world?
And do you want to learn from an experienced podcaster, broadcaster, interviewer, marketer and entrepreneur who can explain all the steps involved from a blindness perspective?
“Unleash your Inner Podcast” is the course that makes sense of every aspect of creating a successful podcast. Not just a technical course, this series of four two-hour webinars talks about interviewing, presentation style, marketing and more.
About the instructor
Jonathan Mosen has been podcasting since 2004. He hosts two popular podcasts in the blind community, and is a former presenter, interviewer and programme director in commercial radio. He also has a background in marketing, public relations, and operating a small business.
Who is this course for?
If you have no experience with creating audio on any platform, you don’t operate your own website, and you have no audio equipment yet, please don’t feel at all daunted about taking this course. You’ll complete the course with a thorough understanding of your next step. In an eight-hour course, we can’t teach you how to use all the sound editors that are available, but we can discuss the relative merits of a range of them, and provide pointers to additional resources that will help you learn the ones that interest you.
If you already create podcasts, you’ll benefit from learning about new, cutting-edge tools that can dramatically improve the sound and ease of production and post-production. You’ll also learn about the pros and cons of various podcast hosts, and publicity and revenue options.
In short, whether you’ve never opened a sound editor before, or you’re podcasting now, we’re confident you’ll come away from the course with additional information and techniques you can use.
What people are saying
Hi, My name is Neal Ewers. I know a lot about recording and production. After this course, I know a great deal more, not only about that, but also about how to turn what I do into something that people all over the world can hear. I don’t think I have taken an online course that has been more thorough, more researched, and more flexible in a way that allowed participants to get many questions answered. There is a ton of knowledge here. Go for it.
Thanks, Jonathan.
I work as an activities coordinator at Qatar Social and cultural center for the blind, and i wanted for very long to be able to do a monthly podcast for my institution. i, as anyone else, strive to keep my job and do my best to feel important and effective. Podcasting is not very popular here and i know this could go viral if done correctly and professionally. and since i am sure podcasting is not just “record and publish” thing, i found this course to be a great opportunity to achieve my goal. in spite of some financial hardships at my end, i managed to enroll myself, and it was up to my expectations and even more. The course is comprehensive, entertaining, informative, well-organized and exactly to the point. Mosen is known for the quality stuff he delivers, and this course is not a difference. If you keen on starting a podcast, or even improve yours, This course is a must. Ikrami Ahmad.
When I started this course, I had great ideas, but too many questions and no knowledge from which to start. I did’t know the many pieces there were to creating a podcast, and honestly hearing them Felt overwhelming. Jonathan Mosen was a wonderful instructor; who took the time to clarify anything needed, listen to suggestions/feedback and answer each of our many questions. Feeling motivated and inspired by others, and being able to learn from them in this course as people bring many different walks of podcasting to the table is proving to be very helpful. Gaining relationships with others along the way has been fantastic. Now I don’t just have great ideas; I have the know-how, and all the tools to create an amazing podcast. I’m excited, and I look forward to what the future of podcasting holds for me.
Thank you so much!

If I had to choose one word to describe this course, that word would be “empowering.” Podcasting is very popular and there are numerous mainstream courses on the subject. This course presents a thorough foundation of knowledge for anyone wishing to start a podcast, from the perspective of the blind podcaster. It was a breath of fresh air for me to know that everything, from the course environment to all recommended hardware, software and hosting platforms would be accessible to me. Thanks, Jonathon, for sharing your insights with such sincerity, dignity and respect. It was a joy to take this course and I’m looking forward to seeing the next new release in the Mosen Consulting store.

I honestly believe that anyone who has been a part of this course as well as those in future who may invest in it, regardless of your own personal or professional experience, can be taught and will receive something extraordinary from listening and absorbing the material presented here. Thanks Mosen Consulting for putting together such an advanced wealth of experience, thought-provoking information and resources in a warm and engaging style that can benefit anyone who is looking for help in podcasting and other associated ventures.

I took Jonathan Mosen’s Unleash Your Inner Podcast course and enjoyed it very much. I felt that his teaching style was relaxed and organized. I learned a lot of audio post-production tips.
As a result of the course, I was able to post my podcast to Itunes.
I would recommend the course to anyone wanting to get a good foundation in the nuts and bolts of setting up a podcast. Tim Cumings.
