Streamlined Podcaster: Tips to Help Solopreneurs Improve Their Podcast Systems

Amie was struggling to get good conversations from her legally technical guests, so she reached out for a coaching call where we discussed a number of things:

Weaving story into the answers your guests give
- The importance of a pre-interview
- How to make sure your guest gives the best stuff during the recording
- Permission to nix a bad interview.

As I write this, I feel stuck between two idioms. The first is, “Shoot for the moon, and you’ll land among the stars.”

The second is, “he’s always swinging for the fences.”

The former has a positive connotation. If you aim high, even if you fall short, you’ll still do something great. The latter can be negative. You’re constantly trying to hit a home run (and striking out) when a single will do.

Last year I was pretty set on doing a daily podcast. I loved the idea of combining that with a mini podcast to create a fantastic back catalog of podcasting tips for anyone at any stage of podcasting.

It also allowed me to experiment and really understand what goes into creating a daily show.

The short: it’s a lot of work. I’m going to share everything I learned with you. Then you can decide if I was shooting for the moon to land among the stars, or swinging for the fences and striking out.

You love your podcast, but you spend too much time on. Don't worry! You're not alone. After my first daughter was born in 2017, I noticed a monumental shift in my time. I used to run a side hustle nearly full time, while also maintaining a full time job. But, as they say, kids change everything. I didn’t seem to have enough time in the day to run my own business, while also making time for my family. Then our babysitter quit.

I knew it was time to make a change or drowned.

Top story for me this week is schools in NYC replacing the bell with 60 second podcast episodes!

"ABF Creative, the award-winning producer of Kids & Family podcasts, is proud to announce its innovative 'Mini Pods’ initiative in partnership with education technology company SonarCloud. This initiative replaces traditional school bells with 60-second educational podcasts, currently in over 120 New York City public schools, with plans to expand to Chicago and Los Angeles in the upcoming school year."

In an episode of the now-retired show Podcast Pontifications, Evo Terra drops a truth bomb for all the “record to tape” or “record and release” podcasters:

He was talking about people who record a show and then release it as is (known as record and release, or record to tape). But from that ailment comes another symptom: people using Zoom to record.

You need to stop using Zoom.

Similar to Evo’s point above, listeners today more than ever expect quality. They want you to sound like you’re in the room with your guest.

And that’s easier than ever with great tools like Riverside.fm, which records everyone’s audio locally, and separately. No weird robot video from bad internet connections here.

This is important because bad audio can erode trust, which could stifle your podcast’s growth, and your ability to establish expertise.

One of the reasons I feel my show grew quickly is because I’ve added a commitment to the best possible audio quality from the very beginning.

If you’re not sure where to start, I strongly recommend Riverside.fm. It’s affordable, well-made, and the most reliable of the tools I’ve used.
