Time/week spent: 3h - 15h

I realistically spent about 5-10 hours per week on podcast production, with a range from 3 to 15 hours. This hustle can be part-time or occasional, depending on the production schedule. Initially, I spent more time upfront setting up equipment, learning editing software, and creating content. As I got more efficient, the time spent decreased. Many online sources suggest a similar time commitment, with beginners investing more hours compared to experienced podcasters. People online generally find podcast production demanding but rewarding.
