# S1 E1: How Do You Start a Podcast? - Nitin Sharma

<iframe style="border-radius: 12px; margin: 0px auto; display: block;" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" xml="lang" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/episode/6eBqEEpshrK1Y9Bnyb2nu0?utm_source=generator" width="858" height="233" frameborder="0" loading="lazy"></iframe>

## How do you make a successful podcast?

For the very first episode of **The Kitto Question**, we're joined by none other than **Nitin Sharma**, the host of **RecTalks**, the #1 podcast in the recruitment space with tens of thousands of subscribers.

The challenge: One question, five minutes to answer.

If Nitin delivers his answer within the time limit, he earns a spot on the Wall of Fame. If not...straight to the bin!

This episode is all about podcasting: how to start, grow, and sustain a successful show. But does he manage to beat the clock?  
**‍**  
Watch the full five minute episode for some very meta insights on consistency, ignoring vanity metrics, and why five listeners could be worth more than five thousand.

And if you want to be asked a question in future, or want to see a question answered, send us an email: [**kittoquestion@kitto.uk**](mailto:kittoquestion@kitto.uk)
