The Role of Persistence and Timing in Podcast Success
Send us feedback/questions via Text Welcome to another engaging episode of Ask the Podcast Coach ! Your hosts, Jim Collison and Dave Jackson, are back to delve into the world of podcasting with insights, anecdotes, and tips for both seasoned and budding podcasters. Today, they tackle some pressing questions: How do you measure the true impact of advertising in podcasts? What role does persistence play in achieving podcast success? Drawing from real-world examples like LegalZoom’s ad strategy and Kurt Warner’s inspiring journey from arena football to NFL stardom, Jim and Dave highlight the importance of consistency, opportunity, and even a bit of luck. Special guest Chris Stone joins the conversation, adding depth to topics like brand awareness versus direct response in podcast ads, using personal stories to enhance content, and the struggles of maintaining audience engagement. They also touch on how external factors, such as celebrity connections, can dramatically impact a podcast’s popularity, using the example of Kylie Kelsey’s podcast gaining traction from the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce relationship.

Feed Drops and Collaboration: Exploring the Benefits and Techniques for Sharing Episodes.
Send us feedback/questions via Text This episode covered a wide range of topics, from recommendations vs feed drops to event experiences, audio engineering, and more. Here are three key takeaways that I think will be valuable for you: The Power of Clear Communication: As podcast hosts, it's crucial to provide clear information about your show's theme or target audience. This helps potential guests understand the interview questions better, leading to more engaging and insightful conversations. Navigating the Event Landscape: The episode delves into the speaker's experiences attending various conferences and events. They highlight the advantages of smaller, more intimate gatherings, such as Indipodcon in New Jersey. Smaller events foster meaningful connections and conversations, unlike larger conferences, which can sometimes feel overwhelming. Feed Drops for Promoting Podcasts: Dave explains the concept of feed drops, where podcasters share an episode from another show on their own platform. We discuss two options: playing the entire episode or providing a host-read endorsement and linking to the episode. Feed drops can be a great way to collaborate and introduce your audience to new content.

Memory Lane: Revisiting "Episode 1"
Send us feedback/questions via Text Today I am moving into what I'm calling "My new old house." While I'm seating and hoping the movers don't break my standing desk, I thought I would take a trip down memory lane and dig out some of the first episodes of "Ask the Podcast Coach." The Early Episodes Sounded Bad, and I Was Awful There is a ton of hiss in the first "School of Podcasting Live" was awful and this was in 2011. Later I wanted to test Blog Talk Radio and Spreaker for "The Podcast Coach" show and treated it like nobody was listening (because nobody was listening). Then on August 10, 2013, Jim Collison joined us. You can also listen to what might have been the seed for the "Podcast Rodeo Show." Why Am I Subjecting You To Bad Content? The goal is to show you that we all start ugly. We all get better over time, and maybe just maybe you should be a bit organized before pressing record.

How do you create a successful podcast?
Send us feedback/questions via Text What Goes into a Successful Podcast? Know who your target audience is and know what they want. Give it to them via audio that is not distracting Use a consistent schedule so they can add you to their routine Your content should be so good it inspires people to tell their friends . Don’t quit Don’t worry about making money for three years. Don’t OBSESS about your stats Focus on your audience . The math of podcast downloads is Total Number of downloads = Value X Promotion If you promote an episode that has no value, your results are pointless. If you deliver value but don’t promote it (and by that I mean you might have to get out of your chair) then your podcast will grow slowly.

Mathew Passy The best way I have seen someone maximize their use of ratings and reviews is Dan Cummins Timesuck Podcast. For every 100 reviews posted, he releases a special bonus episode and he lets the fans vote on the topic. Reviews pour into the show and he reads a few in the show update. It has helped him build a huge bank of reviews, which while having no impact on your ranking, do let people know whether or not you produce a quality product. It has also helped him to build a huge community with real engagement. I think it's a fascinating idea. Won't work for every type of podcast but I think this was one integral piece in his show's early success. 24:52 Article on iTunes Reviews 26:33 How do I make it easy to send audio clips into my show?

Does Your Podcast Make You Happy?
Send us feedback/questions via Text You never know who is listening says Cale from www.hamradio360.com who got a message from NASA. In this episode we also talk about: Microphone Technique How do you gauge success if you don't count downloads and money? How do you make money with a podcast? FIRST, make a show that is great and obtain an audience. This may take a year or two. (depends on the content, and depends on the niche, it may not take long, but if you have 50 downloads per episode after 30 days, and you're not hyper-niche, start focusing on being GOOD instead of being rich. It boils down to a few things Sell your stuff (if you have any) Sell other people's stuff (affiliate sales that match your audience) Donations/Patreon Advertising (automated ads pay almost nothing) Opportunities (speaking) Relationships (get to talk to people who NEVER would talk to you) Free Stuff How do I see how many subscribers I have in iTunes? How many people should I expect to join my Patreon ? When you just don't have time to produce a full episode, do you think its better just to skip it, or put out a "placeholder" episode?

There Are No Shortcuts - It Takes a Good Show
Send us feedback/questions via Text David Fori asked a question on Quora. I am thinking about launching a podcast, I don’t want any paid sponsors I want to use it to boost it in the rankings. I have a company and I want potential customers to find and listen to the podcast. Here was Dave's response: I want to be an Olympic gold medalist, does anyone know where I can buy a Gold Medal? Even if I could buy a medal, it doesn’t make me an athlete. There are no shortcuts. There is no golden ticket. There are no magic beans. Quit wasting time looking for these things, and get going on making good content. Quit OBSESSING over stats, and start OBSESSING over VALUE in your content. Start obsessing over your audience. The Podcast Lore (which is now going to be TV show) stated this, “I didn’t build an audience. That’s the secret nobody wants to hear. There is no trick in the book you can use to grow your audience other than making a really good show.” S4E1 Lore 101 — Podcasting 101 If you are getting into podcasting to make a quick buck, let me point you to the door. Monetizing your podcast means you monetize your audience. Step one is build and audience and that takes time, effort, talent, and luck. The first question isn’t how do I make money, the first question should be “How Do I Get Good?” How do I hold an audience? How do I get them to come back? If you were to raise your rankings (and for the record rankings in iTunes don’t mean jack see www.newandnoteworthy.info ) promoting a show that isn’t good will only let the world know quicker that you need to go back to the drawing board. There have been tons of movies that have HUGE MARKETING BUDGETS with the happy meal toys ready to go, except everyone who came out of the theater told their friends not to go. So getting the word out about a “not ready for prime time” show is a waste of your money. I’ve got worksheets and tutorials to help you polish your podcast at the Featured Supporters: Jill and Alison from the Keep the Flame Alive Podcast. T he podcast for fans of the Olympi

2017 Podcast Predictions - Happy New Year
Send us feedback/questions via Text Dave shares some insight on the Radio City Music Hall Rockets 2017 Podcast Predictions 1:40 Jim thinks Facebook live will lead to people tuning out of live streams (Dave agrees there will be a ton of noise). 4:45 Dave thinks Apple will go to less than 50% of consumption in your stats (other apps will rise up to replace). Jim fixes the bad search by having a website go right to his item homegadgetgeeks.com which point to his apps 8:10 Jim thinks The bigger shows will get bigger, and more podcasters will drop out then launch. Dave feel there will be more disdain between indie podcasters and professional podcast networks. Jim feels the people started in 2015, 2016 are going to quit as it is hard to get an audience and hard to sustain a podcast. 9:45 Jim called it a podcast bubble. Dave predicts a return of "podcasting is dead" type of articles where people who are disgruntled that their show didn't do well will blame podcasting instead of the fact that their show sucked. 13:25 Jim thinks Will have less media providers (Soundcloud?) where some people who jumped into media hosting will fall. Dave thinks the record labels and ruin it (it needs to be purchased, or shut down). 15;15 Dave hopes Feedburner will shut down, but he is saying it won't be. Netflix Audio? HBO Audio? 17:45 Dave has done the calculations based on previous years, podcast listeners will go up to 40% (according to Edison research) in 5 years we would be up to 48% 21:05 Dave thinks more companies are going to put up "Walled gardens" where you have to use THEIR PLATFORM to consume specific shows (and Dave doesn't think this will work). 27:35 More Tools For Podcasters - More Microphones? How is the Blue Yeti Getting so Much Press? Hear Dave's view and demo of Blue Yeti 30:30 Smaller shows will still "Glenn The Geek It" and smaller advertising resources will close due to lack of Advertisers. Free media hosting companies will close 32:10 More Noise Than Ever 32:45 Someone will still name their show with the ON FIRE brand. 34:15 THANKS TO OUR GROWING LIST OF AWESOME SUPPORTERS Dave recently posted an episode for supporters only on how to get your most downloaded shows quickly. 38:30 Patreon is a great solution for Podcasters.

Who has the better website (if you're not building your own). Libsyn, Blubrry, Spreakr or Podbean. Podbean's website tool looks like an old version of Wordpress.

Send us feedback/questions via Text This is a replay of the live broadcast with Dave Jackson, Ileane Smith, Jason Bryant, Austin Wood, Kim Krajci, Jim Collison, John Bukenas, Mike Dell, Carla, Craig Wealand, and James Prescott Recap From Last Week on the Live365 Streaming 1:35 Dave checked his stats and he is up to 22 listeners so far this month. The stats are not impressive for the $89 a month they are charging. If you want a streaming station you can get the same playlist features with Abovecast.com, but you will have to list your show in directories manually (Dave is working on a list for those interested). Libsyn as a New Player that has a lot more tools to customize your player on your site. 4:25 This is what it looks like 2016 will looks to be the year of the player. Appendipity player is in beta. Dave hasn't played with it yet. He has a copy of it. Austin Wants to Know How to Grow Your Audience 8:25 Identify your audience Create content that will impact them in a positive way Go to where you audience is Make friends with your audience Tell them about your show The equation for the number of downloads is: Value in your episode multiplied by the amount of time spent promoting your shows = Total Number of Downloads Austin should get a domain name , I prefer to have a self hosted Wordpress install (use the coupon code podcastcoach), and get a microphone like the Audio technica 2100 James Prescot: How to Grow Your Podcast 15:45 See above John Bukenas Has A Client Who Got a Cease and Desist Order 17:40 How do you avoid this? Google Search. Lots of Searches. If you want to go the full route, you hire a lawyer. Dave had a member of the School of Podcasting who had the Miami Valley Music Cast, but got a notice from the people who had musiccast. So he had to change the name of his show to www.audiogumshoe.com As podcasting gets bigger we might see more legal issues come into the arena. Companies have to defend their trademark, and it gets fuzzy.

Does Lean Back Listening Work For Podcasters?
Send us feedback/questions via Text Jim has never listened to Serial? It turns out that a whole bunch of people have not heard the Serial podcast. Mike Dell from podcasthelpdesk.com and was saying he thinks they drag out the stories too long. Using Two Instances of Skype on the Same machine 8:00 Live365 Live Streaming System 09:26 Live365 has partnered with Blubrry to create podcast2radio.com which is $89 a month. Dave explains how he has had a streaming station and doesn't get that much traffic. He is paying around $15 a month. Dave us getting around 70 listeners a month. It depends on what format you stream, and how many total listeners you can have at one time. So with Live365 are paying for unlimited listeners, and when you first start off you don't need it (this will obviously depend on your genre, and your audience). My peak listener number was 7 at the same time. You can list your station in iTunes Radio, Window Media Player, TuneIn, and other sites to be in directories (just like podcast). Dave feels they may be a little early (and that they need to taylor this to podcasting). Jason Bryant said he blocked over 300 ads on their site (that's a bit crazy) What is Going to be the Big Thing In 2016 For Podcasters? 20:19 There are tons of people creating custom players for podcasters. Clammr has already stepped up their game. Bookmarks are pretty cool. Do players add to downloads? Probably not but they add to the experience. Dave uses Simple Podcast Press on this site. It would be nice if there was a player or app that made it easy to "take notes" in the app There may be a bit of a divide between the NPR type podcasts because they are getting all the press because they have friends on the press. There may be a bit of divide between pro and amateur podcasters How Do Get Money and Conversions with Podcasting? 26:50 CPM (pay per thousand downloads) is a horrible way to monetize a podcast. Dave explains to an "Internet Marketer" the ins and outs of podcasting and how it is a "Value for Value" model. You need to develop a relationship with your audience. It takes time to develop a relationship (just like you do with your friends). Any sales is all about relationships.

Troubleshooting Audio Problems - How Many Listeners Should I Have?
Send us feedback/questions via Text Today Dave is having a technical issue and had to revert to just using his Audio Technica 2100 into blab. 1:31 @nocupcakesone wants to know how to fix his podcast audio. He is using a condensor microphone. These pick up everything. A dynamic microphone like the Audio Technica 2100 Separate the pieces in your sound chain (microphone, cables, power, etc). Get it down to the simplest for mat you can then build on that Write down what you've learned from each step of the troubleshooting process. The caller is using Spreaker and Uberconference. Uberconference provides a mp3. It's a better bad choice. Dave uses Callburner to record skype. You might also look into getting a skype in or a skype out number to call phones. 12:30 How Many Listeners Should I Have? There is no one size fits all as different genres and topics have more potential than others. Right now the median of podcasting right now is 165 per episode. Why did you start podcasting? While you can make money as a marketing tool for your company and products, podcasting is not a great tool for making "quick cash." 16:10 Podcasters Should Have A Website @nocupcakesone does not have a dedicated website for his podcast. Facebook recently deleted a Facebook page of someone who had TONS of people on their page and they just deleted it. If you're not a "techie" then you can find affordable people to do the tech stuff for you. 20:32 I want to have a podcast behind a firewall. I want to cut out the "gems" and put out the "gemless" version to his public audience and charge people get the best parts. It might be better to limit the number in the episodes in the feed and charge to get your complete episodes. Digital Access Pass provides a secure RSS feed. You can tell people what to do for free, you charge to tell them how to do it. 24:45 Mixing items on Blab You Can't 25:08 Because of My Podcast - I Got Some Media Coverage - After Three Episodes A media outlet contacted the podcaster about their podcast.

While it's nice to set the tone and fell of the show, you can get away without it.

Living Your Life With No Margin For Error
Send us feedback/questions via Text Today we are JLD and Blab Free (things we keep talking about each week - We love them both, but we are mixing in some new stuff). Blab Purchases PodClear Dave had some issues using Podclear in the past. We are assuming its the coding that was purchased. Podclear was saying they could have up to 9 people at the same time and you would get 9 separate files and one combined. This should be interesting. It is nice that this might put some pressure on Google Hangouts. At this point, podclear is shut down. We are all in "wait and see mode." Podcast App Still Not Working... 7:10 We are really surprised that the new version of the Apple Podcasts App is still not working.... We all agree Overcast is a great alternative.

When you are in this type of situation everything has to go right. Dave spoke at a local group on Thursday and it backed up his entire week. Cut out things that do not move you toward your goals. Keep everything organized so you don't spend time looking for stuff. Jim does a monthly check of all his systems. It might be more expensive as you need things to work right the first time.

It's $50 a year. For most podcast its enough bandwidth. It's slow, and the stats are the most absolute basic you can get.

He had a woman who was singing a hit from 1979 along with extreme pogo sticking, with a stunt in the middle. Who is the audience for this stuff?

Having Good Hardware 3:50 Jim explains how having good hardware is vital. Live Interviews With Skype 7:05 Kim from o nthetablepdcasts.com asks about recording a skype call. Do I need a mixer? Jim has shipped people microphones like the Audio Technica 2100 to ensure you have quality. In Kim's case she tried to connect is skype and her guest was using Skype on his phone. Her solution was to have her guest on wi-fi and connect via skype on their phone. (the guest was not technical at all). You need a mixer when you are playing music live while you talk, if you have a co-host in the room for you. If you are recording skype with just one other co-host you can use a mixer, but you don't need it. You can do it without it. Headset microphones will work, but they don't very good.

Jason Bryant from mattalkonline.com on Easter Eggs Jason had a question about Easter Egg hunts as a marketing tool. It seems worth trying (see the book above). Jason is using Gumroad.com to take pre-orders on a product he will be selling. How do you put an episode out without showing it on your website.

Portable Recorders - Video Cuts - Moving Websites
Send us feedback/questions via Text What Recorder to Buy? Michael is looking at different portable audio recorders . Is there much of a difference between the Roland R-05, the Zoom H4n and the Zoom H5. The Roland has a link and mic in (but not XLR). The H4n has two XLR inputs, and a line/mic in. The H5 has everything that the H4 has AND it has the ability to change the built in microphone. Speaking of those, they all have condensor microphones which can be used to record things on the road. If you are looking for the ability to record anything then the H4 and H5 are great choices. The H5 gives the ability to swap microphones and the ability to adjust levels is a little easier. The Roland R-05 is $199 The H4n is $269 The Zoom H5 is $269 The H4 and H5 allow you to add "markers" which make it easy to find spots in the recording which may decrease your editing time.

Lavalier Microphones - iTunes Frustrations
Send us feedback/questions via Text Screencasting / Video Strategy [1:40] Fred from skillsinscreencastsandpodcasts.com wants to know my strategy for using video and audio. Steve Stewart has a class called " how to use Screenflow " which you can use to make videos on your Mac, and you can use Camtasia on the PC. Audello has lots of bugs and I do not recommend it. If you have more than one show, it can really mess up your podcasting. I did get my refund, but I wouldn't use it now. Ringr.us is set to launch in January Collaboration Tool Zoom [10:00] Zoom.us is a great tool that is kind of a Go to Meeting Replacement. It offers great recording. Mike Phillips of computer2know.com has raved about this service. Jim is using to connect with people overseas. ITunes Being Out of Date [14:40] John Wilkerson of www.thewiredhomeschool.com wants to know if there is anything we can do to get iTunes to update its directory. There are times when your podcast is being outranked by a show that hasn't done an new episode in years. The quick answer is no. Ask your audience to review you. While nobody knows the exact algorythm, we believe total subsscribers, and total downloads are involved and there isn't much you can do about that but try to get more downloads andmore subscribers. Why Free Podcasting Hosts May Not Work [24:10] The host needs listeners to put advertising in front of them New podcasters don't have an audience yet. Once a podcaster gets an audience, they can get their own advertising and leave the service. Chrome Chewing Up Your Memory?[27:00] Scott Johnson from Computer Tutor Florida shared about one tab on his podcast. This helps you use less memory when you ar using Chrome. Podcasting Allows Deep Dives [31:40] I was listening to Howard Stern last week interview Barbara Walters. It was a great interview as it was a discussion. Be yourself in your podcast.

Replacing Your iTune Artwork - Hangouts To Podcast?
Send us feedback/questions via Text Replacing your iTunes Artwork 1:50 The big key when replacing your iTunes artwork is to change the name of your file. So if your original artwork was called, artwork.jpg you should name your new image artwork2.jpg (or whatever you want to name it). You want to avoid using the exact same name as iTunes won't see it as changed and it won't update. Currently the iTunes artwork is 2048X2048 jpg. The minimum size is 1400X1400 jpg. The album artwork inside the mp3 will show up based on the player. For example it will show up if you use the Windows media player, but not in the podcasts app from Apple. If you change the album artwork for each episode be sure to use 1400X1400 image (minimum). Mixlr Updates their Chat 9:30 You can now see who is in the chat on mixlr. It Seems like Spreaker and Mixlr are both fighting over and over to keep their services on the cutting edge. Turning a Hangout into a Podcast 10:25 You can do a hangout on air but don't invite the public. There is a very small chance that the general public can stumble across your show. When you use Hangout on Air its automatically recorded and you can pull the video down and pull the audio out. I record the audio of the hangout into a portable recorder to capture the best audio.

Podcast Legal Speak - Multiple Podcast Confguration
Send us feedback/questions via Text Podbean is Still Bad Podbean has always been a mystery. In looking at their network they have a lot of people listed that makes it appear that they are using their service. It turns out they are not. See what Mignon Fogarty says I've sent them an email asking them why they have these networks listed, but I have not heard back (again, I do not recommend this company - they just seem shady). Time Stamp Not Sticking in Mp3 File ID3 Tags [10:00 ish] Artwork that is being used in the mp3 is over 1MB in size, which takes up space in the ID3 headers may have issues with their tags. According to WinAmp, headers are taking up the first 1444789 bytes (nearly 1.5MB). I would recommend re-saving that image used in the mp3 as a jpg, it will be substantially smaller than a png of the same resolution (I suspect it is using a png currently).

The thing to keep in mind is that you can't contact the person in iTunes. If you pick momstaxi34 as the winner, how do you contact them?

Do You Think About Podcasting All The Time?
Send us feedback/questions via Text One Night of Bowling Cost More Than a Month of Podcasting I spent #36 to bowl, and didn't blink. Yet people will complain about spending $30 a MONTH to podcast. Should My Podcast Be Professional or Sloppy? [5:30] Well, I've never heard someone say, "I unsubscribed because it was too professional. " On the other hand, I've had people complain about podcasts who don't stick to the point and are unorganized. Some of this depends on the podcast. If it is somewhat unscripted, then you are OK to do a little less editing. If it's a solo show that delivers the news, you might want to edit. One of the the things that makes podcasting stand out is it DOES sound more "REAL" as there isn't as much production. The great thing about podcasting is YOU are in control of YOUR show. Ask yourself what would be the advantage of each style? When in doubt, ask your audience. How Do You Convert Audio In iTunes [10:08] To convert files in iTunes. you need to change the CD import settings to be mp3. Either choose 128 Stereo or Mono. This can be seen in the video of the show . What is the Best Podcast Length? [18:30] There is no too long, only too boring. Reports say that the average commute is around 22 minutes. So many people shoot for 20-30 minutes. It does depend on the audience. One client of mine did a three hour podcast. Her audience were farmers who were on a tractor for most of the day. When a show is short, the audience doesn't have to invest much into it and may be more forgiving. When in doubt ask your audience. You can setup a survey with a free service like polldaddy.com Dave's Wife Lost 10 Lbs! [22:15] Dave finds out that he needs to learn how to turn off call waiting while taking calls. Jim shares stories of listening to podcast with his kids on vacation. I want to podcast - now what?[21:40] It takes time to get the word out. It typically doesn't happen over night. Be sure to use the typical tools (facebook, twitter, google+). The first step is to map out your topics, and forget about the tools when you are starting (Wordpress, themes, microphones). In the end, it all starts with your CONTENT. Write down what you want to talk about, write down some idea for 10 episodes (to make sure you have enough content). Michael had stated that he wasn't sure what he was going to talk about. You NEED to get this figured out before buying any microphones, websites, etc. Also keep in mind there is no hurry. Yes you are excited, but don't let your emotions lead you down a path that leads you to regret. If you can't answer "why" you are podcasting you will never make it through the why.

Get Noticed Theme Reviewed - Podcasting on the Go
Send us feedback/questions via Text Today we are joined by Ryan K Parker from www.foodcraftsmen.com as we take a peak at the new theme from Michael Hyatt (author of the book Platform - one of Dave's favorite books). The theme is a bit more expensive than your typical theme ($300 vs $55 for something like Avada) . Ryan helps us see if the money is worth it. You can find the theme at www.getnoticedtheme.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTuvqapP6KE&feature=share The thought is this site requires learning no code which puts you in the drives seat to control your website (which is probably worth them money as you don't have the headache).

Send us feedback/questions via Text Today's special co-host is Darren Dake from Engaging Life and Leadership podcast who shares his insights into co-hosting. When choosing a co-host some things yo might want to think about: 1. Finding someone who has the same passion 2. Someone who has the same schedule and can commit to the show. 3. Be sure to have things set in the vent you start getting popular so you know how does what, and how any money would get distributed. 4. When you get all the "business" out of the way you can get back to making great content that engages your audience. How to Find other Podcasters In Your Area?

Duplicate Content Question [4:43] Steve Stewart of moneyplansos.com asks about Duplicate content. Dave had put together some resources for this. In some cases its having duplicate content on your own site that is the biggest crime. It's hard to find a super clear answer on this, and we all continue to search. If you know of a clear cut answer to this question please chime on in. For now most people think if you change up the wording a bit, it should be OK. Sound Cloud as a Podcast Host? Will his cause me any issues? It won't cause you any issues. I don't see lots of people consuming podcasts over there (I typically get single digit downloads over a week's time). Like any other platform, if you spend time and build and audience over there it may help (like any platform). Its not a bad thing, but I wouldn't sue it for my MAIN hosting.

We also talk about interacting with your audience via facebook, and using email lists. We talk about Jim's coaching podcast a bit to get some insights into doing a live show with a large audience. Dave's Amazon Update 14:00 In digging deeper, and deeper into the terms of agreement I found, “For example, you must include your Associates ID or “tag” (appearing as XXXXX-20, or such other format as we may designate) as a parameter in the URL of each link you place on your site to the Amazon Site. In addition, you must not use a link shortening service in a manner that makes it unclear that you are linking to an Amazon Site .” Chat Wing Discussion 25:00 Jim talks about having another podcast to help bounce ideas off of, and challenge each other to do better podcasts.

We field some questions from Tina about how to align your show content. It's nice to have Jim back in the co-host chair. Jim talks about how live is not great for a brand new podcaster (and mix minus is confusing). Dave agrees, we are doing live so we can talk about it from a first hand position. We are going to be talking about this on next week's show in regards to how Jim does live without a mix minus. How to Adjust Your Show Flow and Ending the Show [11:15] Tina from http://savvyhomeschoolmoms.com/ asks about closing the show. If we ask for everything, does it reduce its effectiveness? You need to try to figure out the ONE thing that you REALLY want your audience to do. She puts the main topic at the end of the show. Should she move it toward the top of the show. Where do you put the "meat and potatoes" type of information? Dave has been putting the interviews up front. Television shows put the big star at the end to keep you watching.

Go to powerpress, settings, and under the media appearance tab there is a media links area where you can choose to make a show have an embed links. Now anyone in your audience can put this on their website. For me, it makes it easy to put on my blog and other sites. In the case of the Podcast Review Show, I can put it on the School of Podcasting site and not worry about it accidentally going down the feed of that show. Ryan found a great article about a new player that people may be using (I would want to test this to make sure it doesn't mess up your RSS feed). There is a neet plugin that works with the html 5 player call Time Jump that I want to investigate. An Affordable Solution For Podcast Gear As I'm still in the Amazon dog house, I was looking for ways to find affordable podcast gear. I have used Same Day Music in the past, and they have a new plan that allows you to make PAYMENTS on gear (typically two). So if you want to buy a mixer, but its $269 you can make two payments of $135. They call this Speed Play . You make your purchase and have 60 days to pay it off - no interest.

We use that interface at www.schoolofpodcasting.com/live Live Sound Test - Autonomic [4:30] Dave plays two sound tests for Jim to hear. One uses Dave's phone, and the other uses his phone (and iPhone 5) with the headset. The headset was slightly more "trebly". Dave was playing with the Auphonic smart phone app . This goes through Auphoinic that can level sounds, remove hiss, and more. It is also available on the Android. It then can be programmed to upload it automatically to Libsyn.com, Blubbry.com, Amazon S3, Dropbox (FTP, etc). It's pretty cool. You can add your meta data (ID3 tags) to your file right on your phone. There is a desktop app for the mac which speeds up the process (instead of being web based). Podertainment Magazine Podertainment will be a digital magazine in the iTunes newstand featuring articles by podcasters for podcasters. Currently we are waiting for Apple to approve the app. Was It Simpler Today than it Was Three Years Ago?[15:28] Yes. With great tools like the Audio Technica 2100 its super easy to get great audio quality. Expectations have changed. You can't just put crap out there and get people to listen. There is more competition. Dave mentions how when he first started he would record as an mp3, and edit, and edit and edit and the file would sound awful. (You want to record as a WAV file or AIFF) then mix down to mp3 when all the editing is done. The mixlr issue we are having is we get some clicking in the one channel. this has to do with the griffin imic usb device.

How Do You Isolate Tracks in Audacity While Recording? 6:00 Michael Kicking Bear Johnson of www.singlefeathermedia.com One way to do this is to use a USB mixing console like Alesis MultiMix 8 USB FX which goes for about $139. Where this mixer differs from others in the lineup is in its USB 2.0 technology. This enables you to send 10 channels (8 input channels plus the 2-Track input) individually to the computer, at up to 24-bit, 96 kHz resolution. Because each channel is sent individually, you can use virtually any DAW or other music software for mixing and editing the incoming audio. Jim notes that this is the mixer he uses and it only shows one channel coming into Audacity. Potentially more complex software like Garageband, or Logic, might be able to identify the mixer channels coming from the mixer.
