The Wavve blog has some tips on creating an effective editorial calendar. The benefits are obvious (and not at all limited to these four).

  • Consistency: Regularly publishing episodes builds trust with your audience.
  • Organization: Keeps all your content ideas, notes, and deadlines in one place.
  • Planning: Allows you to strategically plan content around themes, seasons, and events.
  • Collaboration: Facilitates better coordination with co-hosts, guests, and production team.

  • Google Calendar. Simple but very intuitive.
  • Asana is a proven workflow tool. They offer a free calendar template.
  • If you want more detail with your platform, try Notion. It gives you place to outline tasks, notes and all sorts of other fun organizational stuff.
