Summary
There are many different types of podcasts:
conversations between the hosts; interviews; storytelling; nonfiction or fiction; etc. 

Podcasts serve different purposes, too: some try to make you laugh; others aim to keep you in suspense; some want to educate or inform. 

Keep all of these possibilities in mind as you consider what you want your original podcast to be like.
