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

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.

Ep. 48: Clean your audio - Sample Rates - Is your podcast plain vanilla?

1 Recommendations

Happy Friday as I record this. My 2nd favorite day of the week, other than Saturday. Today I explain a why its important to clean the audio files the best you can before you decide to merge them all together into a master track. Then I explain a bit on what the sound Hertz rate is and how it works. You can see for yourself by switching the recording settings to very low, to very high. Zoom in on the audio waves and you will see the difference. The lower Hertz rate means less of the audio is being recorded less frequently. The higher, means more of the audio is being recorded. I record my shows at 48 Hertz rate. Most pros use 48 Hertz rate when recording audio. Is your podcast plain vanilla ice cream? Even if its very very good vanilla, nobody buys a scoop of vanilla when they can get a loaded Sundae. Make your podcast the sundae, not just plain vanilla.

Ep. 50: Why do you Podcast? - Beta Reader & Author Tiffany Christina Lewis

Welcome to Episode 50! As it its the the 50th, I thought I'd share my reason why I started this podcast. My "why" is because I wanted to help out new podcasters figure out how to make decent audio with basic gear and equipment. We all have our reason for podcasting. Your audience has their reason for listening to you show. Everything starts with your Why. "Why do we podcast?"

Then I'm joined by Beta Reader & Author Tiffany Christina Lewis. Tiffany has been writing since her adolescence and was honored to have work published for the first time in 2011. Since then her work has been featured in many books and online publications. From fiction to non-fiction, murder to relationships, Tiffany’s range as a writer is expansive. Crazy about killing, Tiffany’s favorite genre to write is Crime Fiction.

With three books to her credit, Tiffany writes for readers. “It is my job to satisfy readers. Everything they say about my work is invaluable. I use it to make myself and my writing better.”

“My style is a little Patterson and a little King. I love short chapters and grossing people out but the Detectives win at the end of the day. There is lots of gore when I can and I try my damndest to give those vivid details that make you grimace!”
