Podcasting
Blogging on the new blog! 2024 is the Year of Video Podcasting - Maybe?
Why is RSS not an option for importing content from one blog CMS to another? It has every detail you need for content of blog posts and yet it’s rare for a CMS to offer that as an import option.
In podcasting, that’s the default option for how to move your podcast to another podcast host.
One fun aspect of podcast editing as a solo business is when you find out a client has moved on because you see a new episode pop up in their feed that you didn’t work on.
Live streaming a podcast edit - come hang out and hold me accountable to actually working.
I love using a combo of Discord’s Threads feature + Notion to manage episodes of podcasts I work on for clients. I just wish all my clients loved using Discord + Notion as much as I do. ☺️
I’m too much of a people pleaser to require it.
Don’t despair if you’ve wrapped your identity around a dude on a podcast.
Whether it’s a “hit piece” or not, I promise you there’s a hundred more Huberman clones waiting in the wings to take your time, attention, and money away from your family and friends.
This is my podcasting tech stack:
I have a podcast client who talks about how important it is to be professional, tweak your artwork, episode titles, etc. and then the next client I’m editing has a guest who’s having amazing success hitting record, not editing at all, and just publishing.
I love that both can work in this medium.
Friday lukewarm take: If your podcast app features clips of Joe Rogan’s podcast in any promotional images, it’s an immediate red flag for me.
My pessimistic hot take: Video for podcasting is overhyped and by the end of 2024 (if not sooner) many shows will either be back to audio only, or have dropped off the map due to budget / time constraints trying to keep up with video.
A selfish suggestion: Micro.blog should treat it’s version of podcasting the same way it does the posts and make it easy to cross-post the episodes to other podcast hosting platforms like Transistor.
My Friday $0.02 inspired by Monday’s ShopTalk Show: Don’t ask for ratings or reviews for your podcast, ask people to link to your podcast from their blog.
Do you need a video version of your podcast on YouTube or do you just need to submit your podcast via RSS to YouTube so people can subscribe there?
I’ll ditto stamp everything Dave says here about how to get on a podcast and only add: please invest in a good mic so the smart things you have to share can be heard well. 😆
I’m checking out a “record a voicemail so I can respond to it on my podcast” app—send me your thoughts or AMA.
I feel a similar sentiment applies to podcasting as well. a.wholelottanothing.org/2024/02/0…
My ideal work week has 80% podcast editing related activities, and 20% invoicing, estimating, and related business managing activities.
Is there someone out there who’s the inverse of that? Wants to edit 20% of the time, but otherwise enjoys estimating and invoicing? 🤔
Oh wow. I am so surprised that Spotify is walking back a feature that a bunch of podcasters used and now their shows are gutted. Who could have seen this coming?? /sarcasm
