There is lots of misleading information out there about copyright laws, so listen to this episode to help you navigate it and make sure that you are using appropriate, legal music that looks out for artists...

REPLAY | How Microphone Placement Affects Your Recordings
How to Record a Podcast

For the next 8 weeks I'm going to be delivering the course, so I'm taking a break from the podcast. During that time, I'll be posting 8 of the most popular episodes from 2020 for anyone who's new around here, or as a refresher to everyone else. I'll be back with new content very soon!
The most important piece of advice for recording a clear and professional sounding podcast: get your audio sounding as good as possible before you press record. Post-production editing and effects are great for enhancing already great audio, but they are limited when it comes to repairing bad audio. The best way to ensure a top-quality recording is to nail your set-up and record with proper technique. And an aspect of this technique is microphone placement. Listen to this episode for tips on how to get your mic placement right.

Recording an interview on Zoom has become an important aspect of podcasting. Not only have worldwide restrictions on travel and meetings meant that it’s much easier and safer to record interviews remotely, but Zoom is also free and has a built-in recorder. However, there are a few sound issues that people report with recording Zoom calls - noisy fans, poor signal quality, sound cutting out when the other person speaks.
Listen to this episode to hear some tips and settings to get the best quality from your Zoom recordings and avoid these annoying mistakes.

For the next 8 weeks I'm going to be delivering the course, so I'm taking a break from the podcast. During that time, I'll be posting 8 of the most popular episodes from 2020 for anyone who's new around here, or as a refresher to everyone else. I'll be back with new content very soon!
In this episode I talk about transcripts for podcast episodes, and how we can make our podcasts more accessible to those who are deaf or hard of hearing. I look at some of the options out there, and some experiences I have had with transcribing podcast episodes.
This episode doesn't provide any definitive answers on how to make our podcasts more accessible, but it's a topic that's been on my mind ever since I started working in podcasting and producing a transcript last week spurred me on to start the conversation.

Battle of the Audio Editors II: Some Other Options
How to Record a Podcast
05/02/21 • 15 min
To this day, the most downloaded episode and the most visited article on the website, are the ones comparing Audacity and GarageBand - and that makes sense. One of the biggest draws of starting a podcast is that it has a low point of entry and can be done with very little budget, or even for free. Both Audacity and GarageBand are free programmes, and are how the majority of podcasts are edited today. Audacity is the go-to choice for PC users at the start of their podcasting journey, and GarageBand is the go-to for Mac users.
But neither of these are the industry standard for audio editing, and there are other options - Adobe Audition and Logic Pro X. Plus, there have been some updates since I wrote the last piece, so I thought it was time to revisit podcast editors, and start round two of the battle of the audio editors...
