How to create an internal podcast for staff: what to decide first, six setup steps, how people listen, how to remove access when they leave, and a launch test.

Bottom line: To create an internal podcast, record episodes as for any show, host them with a service that gives each person a private feed, invite staff by work email, and show them how to add the feed to a podcast app. Remove people when they leave. Treat the audio like internal email, because a downloaded file cannot be pulled back.

Read them live, then run the cost-per-listener check in this guide.
