Main topic of the Show: Lessons from 7 Years of Podcasting

From Micah

How about podcasting?

Equipment, guest form, interview tips, how it fits in with a business, how it incorporates with other areas of life, etc.

Software, workflow

Podcast lessons:

• The how it happens matters less than the actual happening
• Consistency and predictability
• Developing categories or segments helps keep focus (Also scripting vs outlines vs winging it)
• Committing to a co host can get you in trouble
• Streamlining the process:
  • The Guest Form (From Jack Spirko)
  • Audio Editing for Mistakes
  • Prepopulating the website and social posts, etc.
• Community, Network, Keeping Things Growing
• The Money: webinars, books, events, coffee, podcasting 2.0 and fountain, social capital
• how it fits in with a business, how it incorporates with other areas of life, etc.
• Successful Interviewing: (Research, Do not be afraid to ask, have things you can bring up ready to go if things lag. Only interview people you think are interesting, THE FORM)
• Ok, I will talk about gear and software: Scarlett solo box, Rhode NT 1, Alesis studio mixing set, Lighting, Garage Band, Levelator, iMovie, Canva – other options!!!
• It doesn't matter - just start recording, create your rss feed, and register on itunes – from there you will find other places that require registration or adjustment and add them as people complain that you are not on one platform or another.

Make it a great week!

GUYS! Don't forget about the cookbook, Cook With What You Have by Nicole Sauce and Mama Sauce.
