Behind-the-scenes observations from developing podcasts, working with creators and my experience running professional podcast networks.

🎙️ Monthly podcast recommendations

A curated selection of podcasts worth your time, so you've always got something great waiting in your podcast queue.

🎙️ Early access to new resources and tools

To help you make better decisions, focus on what matters and build a podcast that feels worth continuing.

Thanks to your podcasting emails, I pulled my finger out and stopped talking about making a podcast and actually did it.

HI, I'M RACHEL CORBETT 👋

I'm the founder of PodSchool and, over the past 25 years, I've hosted radio shows and podcasts, worked in television and print, run podcast networks and helped hundreds of creators build podcasts they're proud of.

One thing I've learned along the way is that most podcasts don't struggle because people aren't working hard enough.

They struggle because they're solving the wrong problem.

That's why everything I create, from PodSchool to this newsletter, is designed to help you understand what's really holding your podcast back so you can make better decisions about where to spend your time.

Podcasting doesn't have to feel like endless guessing.

Whether you're just getting started or trying to take an existing show to the next level, my goal is to help you build a podcast that feels worth continuing.

And when you're ready for more personalised support, I'd love to help.
