Do you need (or want) a podcast co-host?
First off, you do not need a podcast co-host. The beauty of podcasting is that anyone can do it and the barrier to entry is incredibly low, this includes doing content by yourself. Here are some pros and cons of having a podcast co-host.

Today’s Hosts: Todd Cochrane and MacKenzie Bennett
Reviewing the pros and cons of having a podcast co-host



Pros

Content collaboration
Less stress involved in execution
A fun working relationship with a colleague, friend, etc.
Consistent tone and messaging coming from the show
Delegated responsibilities
Conversations and content flow better as opposed to speaking to yourself

Technology advancements have greatly changed multi person podcast capabilities.
Cons

Less creative control with a co-host
Sharing monetary earnings
No legal disputes over intellectual property and content if you do not have a co-host

Basically any kind of legal issue that may arise


How to end the show or part ways

Not everyone will be interested in having a podcast co-host and for good reason. Not all shows are meant to have that duo (or more) dynamic and that's one of the great things about podcasting, you can forge ahead at your own pace and create a wonderful podcast all on your own.
