Sunday Check In - You're Probably a Better Podcast Interviewer than You Think.

If you ever catch yourself mid-interview feeling like you're not doing your best work as a Podcaster, try giving yourself a break. You're performing multiple roles IRT. Wait till you listen back to your tape before judging yourself too harshly, as it's probably pretty good.

Crash Course in Podcasting - 4 Things to do Before Your Next Remote Podcast Interview

Crash Course In Podcasting - 4 Things To Do Before Your Next Remote Interview.

  1. Reboot your computer or laptop and install any updates 48-72 hrs prior to the interview.

  3. Listen or Watch any previous interviews featuring your upcoming Guest at normal speeds prior to the interview.

  4. Read your ‘Questions List’ Out Loud prior to the interview. (Often what sounds great in your head, sounds overly convoluted when read aloud).

Ep. 194: 4 Podcasting Lessons Learned from 4 Years of Stand-Up Comedy



Coffee is also Punk Rock: https://buymeacoffee.com/pipr

4 Podcasting Lessons Learned from 4 Years of Stand-Up Comedy:

  1. Trying too hard to sound smart, might just push people away, not bring people in.

  2. Do your prep, know it cold, and then forget about it. Just have a crack!

  3. Listen back to yourself, and try to Listen-like-a-Listener. (That might take more than one listening session).

  4. Recognise the Power of the Pause.

Ep. 193: 4 Ways to know you’ve found the right topic for your First Podcast.



Coffee is also Punk Rock: https://buymeacoffee.com/pipr

I wish someone had've sat me down in November 2011 and gave me this list.

  1. Your friends, family and colleagues are all starting to get sick of you talking about a topic - but you’ve still got so much more to say (and share) about that topic.

  2. You’re able to have constructive conversations about the flaws in, and issues around, a topic, without getting upset or offended by opposing points of view (you will get those on the internet, trust me!)

  3. You’ve written down notes for a test episode but you didn’t really need them when you went to do your test-record. You were able to speak passionately about your topic without the script (even if what you said wasn’t exactly what you had written down). 

  4. You can see a path to covering costs (or even making money one day), but you don’t actually care too much if you never benefit financially from the show itself (<<< be honest about this one. I've seen many a Passion Focussed Podcaster get frustrated after 6-12months when they haven't made a dime from their Podcasts).

5 Reasons NOT To Edit Your Own Podcast



Coffee is also Punk Rock: https://buymeacoffee.com/pipr

5 Reasons NOT to Edit Your Own Podcast:

  1. You lack the technical skills to edit audio and/or video to the level you desire for your podcast.

  2. You’re self-aware enough to know you lack a critical-ear for content editing decisions.

  3. You may miss out on accessing a wealth of podcasting experience that a helpful Podcast Editor will share with you to help you succeed.

  4. If you feel like you’re losing steam due to the overwhelm of editing, but you still want to keep doing your show - find a way to get an Editor.

  5. You have the financial resources to buy back your time, and you want to come out-of-the-blocks firing on all cylinders.

3 Random (But Helpful) Podcasting Tips - August 2023 Edition



Donating Coffees is also Punk Rock: https://buymeacoffee.com/pipr

3 Podcasting Tips for August 2023.

  1. Puffer Jackets are The Absolute Worst.

  2. When using audio-repair plugins, turn them all the way up, then back them off, then back them off some more. When you can only just hear the plugin working still, you've found a great setting to start with.

  3. Have spare Headphones, Headphone Splitters and Headphone Adaptors with you at every single recording session.
