Good morning, This is Laura. 30 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: Welcome to the New Corner Office. Today's tip is to 31 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: consider starting your own podcast. If you have something you'd 32 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: like to share with the world. This is a great 33 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: way to do it, and it's easier than you may think. 34 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: Today's tip comes from my producer, Lowell Blanti, who wrote 35 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 1: up these tips for me. Here's what he had to say. 36 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: If you've ever considered starting your own podcast, now is 37 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: a great time. Not only is it a fun hobby 38 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: and learning experience, it's an enjoyable way to connect with people. First, 39 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: plan what your podcast will be about. Pick a subject 40 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: that you're knowledgeable about or very interested in so you 41 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: won't become bored easily. If your show has no niche 42 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: and it's just friends chatting. It will be easier to make, 43 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: but harder to grow. Manage your expectations. Do it for 44 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: fun and don't worry about making money or earning fame, 45 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: but do put some time and effort into making it 46 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,119 Speaker 1: decent quality. Play on the structure of your show. Will 47 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: there be an intro? How long should an episode last? 48 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: Will it be broken up into segments or free flowing. 49 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: Decide how often you'd like to release episodes and try 50 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: to stick to that schedule. You'll want some basic equipment 51 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 1: to get started. Decide how many people will be on it, 52 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: and if everyone will be in the same place or 53 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: if they'll be remote. Answering these questions will help you 54 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: determine what equipment you need. You don't need to spend 55 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 1: a lot to get started. A single seventy dollar USB 56 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: mic will do a good job for one person. For 57 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: shows with more than one person in the same location, 58 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: you'll want an audio interface. These can be purchased for 59 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: just over a hundred dollars. In this case, you'll want 60 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: XLR mix. Check out podcast Age on YouTube for equipment 61 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: reviews and tests. You can get an expensive cover art 62 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: on graphic River or fiber. If you want to include music, 63 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: use a stock music website like audio Jungle. Never use 64 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: copyrighted work. If you are recording hosts or guests remotely, 65 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: try to avoid Skype or Zoom. There are services that 66 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: are built specifically for podcasting, such as zen Caster or 67 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: clean Feed. You'll need software to edit. Audacity is free 68 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: for Windows, and garage Band is free for a Mac. 69 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: Watch a few tutorials on YouTube. You can learn these 70 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: programs in a few hours. Do a test recording before 71 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: your first episode to see how it sounds. Be mindful 72 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: of your surroundings. You want a quiet place to record, 73 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: look up Mike technique to avoid things like plosives and sibilants. 74 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: When editing your first episode, make sure everyone is at 75 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,799 Speaker 1: the same volume. Lastly, you'll need a host to publish 76 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: your podcast. This host will distribute your show to places 77 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: like I Heart Radio, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify so everyone 78 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: can find them. The most common hosts are pod being Anchor, Spreaker, Libson, 79 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: and buzz Spro. Most have free and low cost options. 80 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: Once you've launched, don't be discouraged by low download numbers. 81 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: It takes some time to grow. Focus on making interesting 82 00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: useful content that provides entertainment and value. Get feedback from 83 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: everyone you can on ways to improve. Seek out online 84 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: communities that would benefit from your show and share it 85 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: with them. Be on your friends shows and invite them 86 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: on yours. Most of all, have fun. It's a great 87 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: way to spend your time. So that's Lowell's advice. Now 88 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: this is Laura again. I just have one thing to add, 89 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: which is that podcasting can be a ludicrously efficient way 90 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: to network. Ask whoever you want to be a guest 91 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 1: on your show. You'll get a chance to have a 92 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: conversation with someone amazing, and it seems so much more 93 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: purposeful than just asking to pick someone's brain. So, if 94 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: you're looking for a new project and a way to 95 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: meet more people, podcasting is a great option. And hey, 96 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: you never know, maybe you'll decide to make it part 97 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: of your new career. In the meantime, this is Laura, 98 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening, and here's to succeed eating in the 99 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: New Corner Office.
