Take a full tour of the Academy here, with Colin Gray 👇

Structured Feedback

We help you grow your skills with direct, personal coaching. Regular 4m feedback for weekly improvement, and full episode teardowns for long term strategy. Get better every week.

Time-Slashing Resources

Templates for you to grab and use. Checklists to keep you on track. Cookbooks to give you the ingredients. We give you a head start on everything, and zip you to the finish line.

Execution Building Tools

We do accountability different. You commit, and then we’re your content boss, driving your consistency. Plus equipment shopping lists, challenges, live Q&As & more, designed to drive action.

World Class Courses

Concise lessons on everything from Launch to Monetisation. Audio & video versions, text summaries, Q&A sections related to every course to get personalised help. Learn your way.

Actually Grow an Audience

Pick a roadmap to suit your strengths, then use our Podcast Growth Databank to grab & use tactics which fit. You’ll get a recipe to follow, to finally grow that audience.

Make Some Money…?

Concise guides to every monetisation method. Then templates & worksheets to make them work, from media-kits to brand deal outreach templates.

4-Minute Feedback

Personal, actionable feedback to relentlessly improve your show.

This is our fan-favourite feature: 4-minute feedback.

  • You send us 4 minutes of your show
  • We analyse, critique and send written feedback
  • You act! Improve in small, impactful steps
  • Repeat as often as you like!

The power of this is little and often. Pick a really specific part of your show - your intro, your interview questions, your ad-reads - and ask for specific feedback on them.

We send back a few specific actions, and you act on them in limited time. Use it to improve your retention, your conversions, your audio quality, or any numer of other things. If you ask the question, we'll answer it!

Get Relentlessly Consistent

Let’s face it, we’ve all done courses, or joined communities, but never done anything with them. Here’s how we help you actually get it done this time:

Accountability System

Not the tepid ‘post and forget’ account-ability you’re used to. This is systematised and driven. Submit your plan to our custom tool. You’ll get feedback and prompts from us, every week, to drive your action.

Four-Minute-Feedback

Designed for rapid improvement, submit 4 mins of audio & a goal (improve my intro, check my audio quality, feedback on my speaking style.) Get constructive, actionable feedback within the week!

Episode Teardowns

Once a month we go deep on one member’s episode. Apply to take part & get a full analysis of your show with action points to work on. Then listen to others and learn from them too.

Finally Grow that Audience

We’re all different. Your topic, your personality - growth is the most personal part of the journey. Combine our roadmaps with our tactical databank to create your own playbook.

Who are These Guys?!

Fair question! Colin Gray is the founder of The Podcast Host. He’s been teaching podcasting for over 15 years, at Universities, in businesses and through all his team’s work at The Podcast Host.

He’s backed up by an amazing team of Podcasters, including Matthew, Lindsay, Allegra, and more. Between us we have decades of podcasting behind us, and huge range of experience, from highly focussed business podcasting to deeply nerdy, highly fun audio fiction and sound design.

We’ve served literally 10s of millions of visitors to our written resources — thePodcastHost.com — millions of listeners to our podcasts (including Podcraft, our ‘how to podcast’ show), millions of views on our YouTube video content, and thousands of coaching & course members over the years.

Whatever your show, whatever your goal, there’s a great chance we’ve done it, or helped someone else do it. And even if we haven’t, we love to learn and apply our skills to new areas too!

Here’s What Our Customers Think

The team have been a massive help in setting up our series of podcasts. My colleagues and I went into the world of podcasting knowing nothing. However with their support, it turned a really legal podcast into something fresh and exciting.

My experience with ThePodCastHost made my podcast launch possible. I overcame a lot of my fears early on. I highly recommend The PodCast Host to anyone. I owe The PodCast Host a tremendous debt of gratitude.

I only have great things to say about The Podcast Host. Not only in the quality of their production work, but also with their knowledge and insights around technology, equipment & advice in podcasting.

Literally had no idea how to go about starting a podcast. I can safely say that it is indeed money well spent. The team have a great system going. Everything is streamlined and easy and the team are there as mentor throughout.

Team's insight into what makes podcasting compelling is invaluable. I advise any first-time podcaster to bring The Podcast Host on board as your coach, partner and safety net. I honestly wouldn't make a podcast without them.

Colin is the man when it comes to helping you launch a podcast or improving your podcasting skills. The online courses were invaluable and advice along the way is superb.

Your Questions, Answered

Who is this community for?

This us for anyone who's read, and learned and followed, but finally want to actually get it done! This community is designed with tools, services and systems to help you execute.

On top of that, we're for anyone who wants to build something great around their podcast. That might be a creator business, to promote a cause or to make change in the world. If you've gone beyond the mere 'hobby' show, then you need a serious group of creators to support you.

Who this community isn’t for: if you’ve come here to promote or sell something rather than to learn, network and grow as a podcaster you might reconsider joining, our primary aim is to provide value to our community.

I haven't started my podcast. Should I join?

If you haven’t started or are just beginning, now is the perfect time to jump in the community to get the most from a shared experience with other podcasters. You’ll quickly learn what not to do in order to get your podcast off the ground.

My podcast is already well established. What will I gain from joining?

It doesn't matter how far into your journey we are, we can always learn from others. Plus, we all hit our lulls... if you're in a period of content exhaustion, we can help you get back on the course and start taking action again.

How often can I use the 4 Minute Feedback or the Q&A space?

As often as you like! For 4 minute feedback, we promise to reply within a few days, and we can do only one at a time. So you can either post one, get your reply then post the next. Or, you can post a few at once, and we'll work through them one by one, around 3 days at a time. Sometimes we'll be faster, too.

For the Q&A space, we aim to reply within 48 hours. And on this, we'll generally do it all at once. So if you post 10 questions all at the same time, we'll attempt to answer them all within 48 hours 😆

As a general rule, we aim to provide the best service we can, but we're only human, and have real lives too! So, common sense applies - we'll do our best to help you grow your show, and get far more value from the Academy than you've paid for 😊

How is this space different than all the other podcasting groups?

I'll keep banging on about it, but we're here to help you take action. Ideas are 10-a-penny, but action is rare. And we have the tools, the services and the offerings to support you to execute like you never have before. We're about setting you up with the workflow, the routines, the knowledge and the mindset to crush your output, every single week.

Plus, for the learning and support, we have dedicated, experienced podcasters moderating the community on a daily basis, this mean you get faster, higher quality feedback. In addition to our top notch moderators, we host live events on a regular basis and take real direction from our members around what to create or run next. So you'll have input on what we do.

What kind of podcast educational content is inside?

We have content that is applicable to all experience levels of podcaster including: short tutorials, workshops, live training sessions, full fledged courses and weekly challenges. Our discussions spaces provide answers to podcasting’s easiest and most asked questions as well as the most complex or niche questions a member needs support on.

Check our tour, near the top of this page, for a full demo of what's inside!

Do you offer 1:1 coaching?

You'll get real person attention from our team, answering your questions as they come up. We also run live events where you can jump on and raise your struggles.

If you want true 1:1 coaching, we do have some limited space for this through the year as a separate service. Get in touch here to ask about it.

What if you don't have the content I need?

We cover all of the essentials, and a whole lot more. Plus, we create new resources on a regular basis based on the questions you ask. So, if you want to know it, but we haven't created it yet, then just ask. We'll get on it!

Our community is also a fountain of knowledge, you’ll be hard pressed to find a question our community can’t support you with.

What if I need to cancel?

You can leave anytime with just a couple of clicks - no need to even talk to us (although I hope you will!)

And we're always happy to refund your most recent payment if you're not satisfied.

Why 3 Months Minimum for the Coaching?

Because podcasts are for life, not just for Christmas!

Seriously, a month isn't enough to make any meaningful difference to your workflow, your practice or your business.

The minimum term to really build momentum, in my experience, is 3 months. So if we're going to spend time with you, personally creating a plan, that's what we ask. And even better if you commit a full year.

Do you have a refund policy?

We're happy to refund your payment within 30 days if you're not satisfied.

Can I offer coaching or promote in your community?

No, I'm afraid not. We do not allow any selling or pitching of services or affiliate programs in our communities. Access will be denied if this is your motivation. Please note, you will be removed without refund.

Are there any discussion topics that you do not allow?

All discussion topics must adhere to our community guidelines. Discussions that read as predatory, ableist, racist, misogynist, homophobic, conspiratorial, overly sexualised, abusive or harmful in any way will not be accepted into our communities.

Do you offer team rates?

Yes, absolutely - please email [email protected] and let us know more about your team size and your goals.
