Podcasters: main pain points

Hey all

As a seasoned podcaster with a penchant automation, I've built processes around several components of my podcasting business. In over 6 years of running Epicenter, we've iterated around several tools created a custom workflow for planning, scheduling, recording, editing, and publishing interviews.

Today, I'd like to turn this workflow into a product for indie podcasters like myself.

To test my hypothesis, I'm looking to hear from other indie podcasters and learning about:

How old is your podcast?
How many hosts are on your show?
What hosting platform do you use?
How big is the team that creates the show (hosts, editors, designers, writers, etc.)?
What is the format of your show (interviews, host panels, just you, or other formats)?
Do you record remotely, face-to-face, or both?
How do you monetize (ads, donations, freemium content, etc.)?
How you promote your podcast?
(bonus/optional) Approximately how big is your audience?

And the million dollar question
What are the main pain points you face as an indie podcaster?

Thanks!
