Podtastic Audio: Crafting Compelling Content with Crystal Clear Audio for Indie Podcasters

Happy Podcasting! If you have a podcast, congrats! You're doing better than most people who do not have the courage to start just one episode yet. On today's show I show you that there are 4 million different podcast shows listed in the universe. But only a small percentage of them are still creating content. Most have died off due to a lot of different reasons. The article is from Amplifi. And they discuss the fact that although 4 million podcasts sounds large, only a small number of them are still in production.

Sound FX for your show! Do you spend hours and hours editing your podcast with sound effects? I have a folder of sounds and clips I've collected over the few years. On this episode I play some of theme live in real time. Using Cleanfeed Pro account. It creates a multifuncional sound effects "clips" section for your recordings. Just record and press play on the sounds you want. Save and your done.

Understanding the Differences between Content Creators and Content Commentators

In the realm of online content, there are two key roles that shape the landscape: content creators and content commentators. While both contribute to the digital discourse, they fulfill distinct functions. This episode explores the fundamental differences between content creators and content commentators, shedding light on their unique roles and perspectives.

Content Creators: Content creators are the driving force behind the creation and dissemination of online content. They possess the skills, expertise, and creativity required to generate original material across various platforms. From podcast hosts to YouTube vloggers, bloggers, and social media influencers, content creators bring ideas to life. They invest time and effort into researching, crafting, and producing engaging content that captures the attention of their target audience. Content creators often take on multiple roles, serving as writers, producers, editors, and marketers of their work. Their primary objective is to entertain, educate, inspire, or inform their audience through their unique perspective and creative expression.

Content Commentators: Content commentators, on the other hand, play a complementary role to content creators. They engage with the material produced by content creators, offering their insights, opinions, and reactions. Content commentators can be considered active participants in the digital conversation. They provide valuable feedback, initiate discussions, and contribute to the overall discourse surrounding the content. Commentators leverage platforms such as comment sections, forums, social media, and even dedicated podcasts to share their thoughts. Their perspective adds depth to the conversation, enabling further analysis and interpretation of the content's meaning. Commentators often draw from their personal experiences, knowledge, or expertise, enriching the overall dialogue surrounding the content.

Differences: The key differences between content creators and content commentators lie in their roles, responsibilities, and levels of engagement. Content creators are the originators, responsible for generating original material, while content commentators respond to and interact with the content. Creators invest time and resources into content production, often assuming multiple roles. In contrast, commentators focus on consuming and analyzing the content, offering their perspectives without the burden of content creation. Creators are often driven by their passion for a particular subject, while commentators engage based on their interest, personal connection, or expertise in the topic at hand. Additionally, creators typically seek to build a loyal audience and establish their brand, whereas commentators may engage with various creators and content.

Content creators and content commentators both play vital roles in the digital landscape. Creators bring their ideas to life, crafting original content, while commentators contribute valuable insights and perspectives to the ongoing conversation. By recognizing and understanding these differences, we can appreciate the collaborative nature of online content and foster a more inclusive and engaging digital environment.

How do you open your podcast episode? Everyone does it slightly different. For the Kris and Kristine Show, I had figured out how to edit audio in Audacity as in rearranging it around. That gave me an idea about how I should start the podcast episodes. As I was watching a lot of YouTube videos about my current sports car I had just purchased. On their videos they would start them with a teaser clip of something cool that happened with that video to get you hooked. So a quick teaser clip to launch the video you're about the watch. If that works for YouTube, why not bring that concept to podcasting. So on episode 1, I tried that idea. I found a short quick clip of something interesting we said on the show to put a clip of that on the very beginning of the episode to launch the listener into the episode. If you decide to make teaser clips for the start of the episode, make sure they aren't longer than maybe 10 seconds. You just need a to teaser the listener to hook them into finishing the rest of the episode. You create a loop and hook them in to finish said loop.

Then I was joined by Jackie and Danielle of the podcast No More Late Fees. It's a movie review podcast told from two ex employees of Blockbuster Video rentals. We talked about how they met and were they grew up. To the time they worked at Blockbuster. And since they are movie fans, I play my guess the movie clip game. Feel free to play along at home and see how you do too. Fun fact: All 3 of us in this interview were in 3 different states here in America. California - Texas - Florida.

I'm back from vacation. We took the entire family to Florida to check out Miami and Disney World. It was our big summer vacation that we've been doing the last 3 years. It was so much fun, and hot. The kids haven't ever been and I've only been once as a kid. We all had a fantastic time. Link to the Vacation Video - https://youtu.be/sMLJcvVruzs As we returned Kristine and the kids all caught Covid 19. I tested negative out of the group, which is strange because we are all together. But as I recorded this today I feel fine.

I came across an article that has 7 Podcaster Habits that really annoy your audience. And we are all guilty of doing these things, which makes it ironic. https://wavve.co/7-podcaster-habits-that-really-annoy-their-listeners/

What makes a new listener press play on a podcast episode? Well it turns out it's mostly because of the content of the show. Above all else, they come for the content. If you can deliver great content and great sound, then you should be able to get more listeners coming back to your show. It's not easy, but try to make the best show you can.
