Jennifer Navarrete: NaPodPo...
What?
Hello, my name is Jennifer Navarrete, @epodcaster online, and I'm the founder
of National Podcast Post Month, or NaPodPoMo, as we like to call it.
What is NaPodPoMo?
It's a 30-day podcasting challenge held every November, which began with a crazy
idea back in 2007 when I heard about National Novel Writing Month, also known
as NaNoWriMo and other 30-day challenges around blogging and video that were
happening during the month of November.
When I couldn't find a month-long challenge for podcasting,
I decided to create it.
So how does NaPodPoMo work?
The challenge is pretty simple.
Post 30 podcast episodes during November to successfully complete the challenge.
That's it.
Your NaPodPoMo specific podcast can be a micro podcast, which
is like 1-3 minutes long.
It can be a nugget podcast, which is around 5-15 minutes long.
Heck, it could be a commuter podcast, 25-30 minutes long, or even a long
form podcast, which is 45 minutes plus.
It can be live.
It can be recorded.
It can be released daily.
It can be batch recorded and released when you have episodes available.
You can start strong, stall out, because life or work gets in the way, and then
make up episodes later on in the month.
You can even join the challenge on the very last day.
Record all 30 episodes on November 30th, and you will still have
successfully completed the challenge.
How you do it is entirely up to you.
Now that's not to say that 30 episodes in 30 days is a walk in the park.
I mean, this is a challenge after all.
So who is NaPodPoMo for?
It's for aspiring new podcasters who want to dip their toes into the
podcasting stream to see if this whole podcasting thing is for them.
It's also for seasoned podcasters to experiment with new tools, tech, show
ideas, all in a safe community space.
And since everyone is experimenting, there's a real
fun energy to the challenge.
So what can you expect from the official NaPodPoMo podcast?
Tried and true tips and best practices, along with some words of wisdom
from myself and podcasters who have taken the plunge into NaPodPoMo
and have lived to tell the tales.
And in case you're wondering, I'm not just the founder of NaPodPoMo, I'm also
participating in the challenge with a robust group of global podcasters.
