Pod Pointers - Remote Interview: Internet Strength Matters
play

12/10/23 • 0 min

In the world of remote meetings, we’ve all experienced a poor connection. If you’re interviewing a guest remotely, be sure to let them know how critical a strong internet connection is to the interview. If they are on a weak connection, consider having them disable video to improve their audio quality. If the guest’s connection is incredibly weak, you’ll be better served to reschedule when you can meet in person, or they can connect from another location. You won’t be doing yourself any favors by having them dial in by phone if their internet connection is weak. Most interviews held over the phone capture an immense amount of background noise, and if your guest is like me, you’ll record every step they take as they pace around the room.

No matter where you are planning to promote your podcast there are a few must have items in your pocket. You need a standard branded podcast cover that is easily identifiable with your logo or podcast show name. Create a digital soundbite for each episode that takes advantage of this cover, adds a snippet of content from the episode and has the wavelength visual to draw in the eye. And of course, your hashtag. It may not be trending today, but there’s no stopping you from going viral tomorrow.

Pod Pointers - Consider Help Producing Your Podcast
play

08/19/23 • 0 min

Recording and scripting your podcast takes a considerable amount of time. A twenty-minute episode can easily have one to three hours of work behind the scenes when it comes to scripting, research and then sitting down to record. It is worth considering outside production help. By visiting ThePodOps.com, you can explore pricing for a single episode or multiple. We can assist in taking the stress of production off your shoulders so you can focus on your content.

Pod Pointers - How Long Should My Episodes Be?
play

08/19/23 • 0 min

There is not a hard rule for how long your episodes need to be. Don’t lock yourself into a box where every episode must be exactly the same length. Make sure the length of time fits the content and your listener persona. Remember, you are creating content for the listener, make sure it’s good and worth their time.

Pod Pointers - How Often Should I Release Episodes?
play

08/19/23 • 0 min

If you are just getting started, I recommend targeting a release of at least one episode per week. An effective roll out strategy is to record a number of episodes, or an entire season prior to release and then push content live over the course of several weeks. When you follow this strategy, it makes it easier to release two or three episodes per week.

Pod Pointers - Be Aware of Where You Record
play

08/19/23 • 0 min

Your recording space, which may not be an actual studio, should be a place where you are removed from people and animals, a place where you can sit comfortably without a squeaky chair, and be ready to hit mute if you’re going to sip on water or coffee. And of course, try to avoid typing or clicking your mouse while recording, as those light clicks almost always come through loud and clear.

If you are considering teaming up with someone who you don’t have history with, you’re going to want to spend some time together, be that through virtual cocktails or in person. You need to get to know each other to ensure when you press record, your audience can’t pick up on the fact that you’ve just met in the last few days or weeks. Poor chemistry will kill your podcast no matter how good the content.
