Good morning, 23 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: this is Laura, Welcome to the New Corner Office. Today's 24 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: tip is to consider starting your own podcast. If you 25 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: have something you'd like to share with the world. This 26 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: is a great way to do it, and it's easier 27 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: than you may think. Today's tip comes from my producer 28 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: Lowell Brulanti, who wrote up these tips for me. Here's 29 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: what he had to say. If you've ever considered starting 30 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: your own podcast, now is a great time. Not only 31 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: is it a fun hobby and learning experience, it's an 32 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: enjoyable way to connect with people. First, plan what your 33 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: podcasts will be about. Pick a subject that you're knowledgeable 34 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: about or very interested in so you won't become bored easily. 35 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: If your show has no niche and it's just friends chatting, 36 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: it will be easier to make but harder to grow. 37 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: Manage your expectations. Do it for fun and don't worry 38 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: about making money or earning fame, but do put some 39 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: time and effort into making it decent. Quality play on 40 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: the structure of your show. Will there be an intro? 41 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: How long should an episode last? Will it be broken 42 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: up into segments or free flowing. Decide how often you'd 43 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: like to release episodes and try to stick to that schedule. 44 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: You'll want some basic equipment to get started. Decide how 45 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 1: many people will be on it and if everyone will 46 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: be in the same place or if they'll be remote. 47 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: Answering these questions will help you determine what equipment you need. 48 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: You don't need to spend a lot to get started. 49 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: A single seventy dollar USB mic will do a good 50 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: job for one person. For shows with more than one 51 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: person in the same location, you'll want an audio interface. 52 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: These can be purchased for just over a hundred dollars. 53 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: In this case, you'll want XLR Mix. Check out podcast 54 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: Age on YouTube for equipment reviews and tests. You can 55 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: get an expensive cover art on Graphic River or Fiber. 56 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: If you want to include music, use a stock music 57 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: website like audio Jungle. Never use copyrighted work. If you 58 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: are recording hosts or guests remotely, try to avoid Skype 59 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: or Zoom. There are services that are built specifically for podcasting, 60 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: such as zen Caster or clean Feed. You'll need software 61 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: to edit. Audacity is free for Windows, and garage Band 62 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: is free for a Mac. Watch a few tutorials on YouTube. 63 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: You can learn these programs in a few hours. Do 64 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: a test recording before your first episode to see how 65 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: it sounds. Be mindful of your surroundings. You want a 66 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: quiet place to record. Look up Mike technique to avoid 67 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: things like plosives and sibilants. When editing your first episode, 68 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: make sure everyone is at the same volume. Lastly, you'll 69 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: need a host to publish your podcast. This host will 70 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: distribute your show to places like I Heart Radio, Apple Podcasts, 71 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: and Spotify so everyone can find them. The most common 72 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: hosts are pod being Anchor, Spreaker, Libson, and buzz Spur. 73 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: Most have free and low cost options. Once you've launched, 74 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: don't be discouraged by low download numbers. It takes some 75 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: time to grow. Focus on making interesting, useful content that 76 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: provides entertainment and value. Get feed, act from everyone you 77 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: can on ways to improve. Seek out online communities that 78 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: would benefit from your show and share it with them. 79 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: Be on your friends shows and invite them on yours. 80 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: Most of all, have fun. It's a great way to 81 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: spend your time. So that's Lowell's advice. Now this is 82 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: Laura again. I just have one thing to add, which 83 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: is that podcasting can be a ludicrously efficient way to network. 84 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: Ask whoever you want to be a guest on your show. 85 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: You'll get a chance to have a conversation with someone amazing, 86 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: and it seems so much more purposeful than just asking 87 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: to pick someone's brain. So, if you're looking for a 88 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: new project and a way to meet more people, podcasting 89 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: is a great option. And hey, you never know, maybe 90 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: you'll decide to make it part of your new career. 91 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: In the meantime, this is Laura, thanks for listening, and 92 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: here's the succeeding the New Corner Office.
