February 2018 – Podcasting for Dummies

Tee comes back for another round of podcasting, this time going into something near and dear to his podcasting heart: Production.

Humans are far from perfect creatures, especially when in front of a camera or on a microphone. So when it comes to trip-up’s in speech, when do you start editing and when do you let the spontaneity happen?

There are three kinds of podcasts:

Casual
Semi-Formal
Formal

And this is why Tee is seen here on stage. It all depends on the podcast. How heavy is your production? Do you want the tone to be conversational? Are you wanting a more polished sound to your podcast? Or is this production a formal presentation where your diction, timing, and delivery need to be completely on point?

There is a time and a place for wearing jeans, and a time and a place to break out the black tie.

Hold on? We got voicemail?

Well, yeah — I mean when we say “Call us at 703-791-1701 and leave us voicemail…” we’re not just whistling “Dixie” for kick and chuckles. No, we have voicemail and our mystery caller from Tallahassee, Florida, asked “If I already have a website, can I use that to podcast with?”

That’s a mighty good question, and Tee is more than ready to answer it. At a glance there are a few ways to approach it…

Create a podcast feed by hand.
Look into webhosts featuring one-click install of blog engines.
Implementing a turn-key solution, and having your current URL point to the podcast.

That’s the quick answer, but if you want the details, have a listen.
