I don’t think I was frightened in the same way that other people say they are—I certainly wouldn’t rate this worse than death. It was more of that fear of doing something in public for the first time where you know you could screw it up badly and there’s no way to undo the mistake.
A podcast is a very different animal. You’re in a private room, there’s no one there watching you as you do it, you have all the time you need to correct mistakes and edit them out later. It’s nothing like public speaking. :)
I am surprised by the fact that you were frightened by public speaking. I would not have expected that from someone who runs a podcast.
I am not frightened by public speaking, so I don’t really know, but this defies my anticipation. I need a better model.
