    [00:00:52] "Ecamm demo, sponsors, and podcast branding."

    [00:06:35] Sent it to LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube;  Ecamm is a Mac-only app for podcasting. They cater to Mac users. Spotify changes revenue share for ads. Negative press for big companies. CNN puts MP3 files on YouTube.

    [00:16:07] Don't do it. Podcast vs. YouTube battle.

    [00:21:05] Tool Toasty automates podcast transcription with AI. Other options include Magai, Cast Magic, and Capshoo.

    [00:27:25] Jeff mentioned a new AI tool called Maghai. It allows you to save prompts in a library and costs $9. There is an affiliate link at audacitytopodcast.com/magai. Some people may be hesitant about AI, but it can be powerful and helpful.

    [00:35:26] Summary: Promotion strategies include sending images, prewritten tweets, show links, and using Discord for communication. Repurposing content and making it easy for guests to share is important. Some use t-shirts and e-cards for added promotion.

    [00:42:46] Send a thank you note with gift card. Promote show if interested, not pressuring.

    [00:48:35] Media hosting can be expensive and resource-intensive, but there are affordable options like Red Circle, Lipsyn, Buzzsprout, and Captivate. Some hosts may require a dedicated server or charge higher fees for popular shows. It's generally recommended to use a media host, although it's not necessary. Red Circle offers free hosting with good customer service, while other hosts may have limitations and additional charges.

    [00:54:37] "Pod ops: podcast hosting with all-in-one tools."

    [01:02:42] Sure MVX 2U is a new USB microphone by Sure that offers clean gain and the ability to save settings. It can be used with any non-USB microphone. Lipson allows users to use their own domain for a fee.

    [01:06:31] Free podcasting tips, software, and equipment recommendations.

    [01:13:06] Video game buyer prefers simple racing experience. Editor uses new Streamyards feature successfully. Randy asks about Sony VZ camera. User finds Sony camera inconvenient for streaming. Considering alternatives for YouTube videos. Regrets camera depreciation after new models released. Apologies for lateness, promises improvement next time.

    [01:16:23] There's no one way to podcast.

    Feed Drops and Collaboration: Exploring the Benefits and Techniques for Sharing Episodes.

    Feed Drops and Collaboration: Exploring the Benefits and Techniques for Sharing Episodes.

    This episode covered a wide range of topics, from recommendations vs feed drops to event experiences, audio engineering, and more. Here are three key takeaways that I think will be valuable for you:

    The Power of Clear Communication: As podcast hosts, it's crucial to provide clear information about your show's theme or target audience. This helps potential guests understand the interview questions better, leading to more engaging and insightful conversations.

    Navigating the Event Landscape: The episode delves into the speaker's experiences attending various conferences and events. They highlight the advantages of smaller, more intimate gatherings, such as Indipodcon in New Jersey. Smaller events foster meaningful connections and conversations, unlike larger conferences, which can sometimes feel overwhelming.

    Feed Drops for Promoting Podcasts: Dave explains the concept of feed drops, where podcasters share an episode from another show on their own platform. We discuss two options: playing the entire episode or providing a host-read endorsement and linking to the episode. Feed drops can be a great way to collaborate and introduce your audience to new content.

    What Works for THEIR Audience May Not Work For Yours

    Today we have a theme that what works for one podcaster may not work for you because your audience is different. We start by sharing that after putting a video version of this show on Spotify for Podcasters, I've received zero downloads of the video.

    Podcasting For Your Job

    Podcasting For Your Job

    Today someone asked, "

    Can I protect my rights to a podcast if I do the podcast for the company I work for? My boss wants me to start a podcast for work. Under the slim chances this podcast gets big & starts to generate revenue, how do I protect my rights to it? I'm the host, I'm creating the content, I came up with the idea, the name, etc. We haven't started recording it yet, so I'm just trying to get ahead of the ball here. Not sure if I need to lawyer up or write a contract or what. Has anyone been through something similar?

    We answer those questions and many others. Leave your question at www.askthepodcastcoach.com/ask

    TIMELINE

    [00:06:28] Know your audience and reason for creating content to attract the right audience; it's not about equipment or aesthetics. Focusing on the "why" keeps you motivated. Don't create content just for ads, but for a genuine purpose.

    [00:08:42] Competition in podcasting isn't as intense as it seems. If you have a clear "why" and achieve it, your podcast is successful regardless of its quality or audience.

    [00:13:50] Podcast editor discusses the pressures of producing popular shows and the importance of practice for improving speaking skills on a podcast. Planning can reduce the need for editing.

    [00:21:38] Feedback and adjustments made based on listener perspective. Podcasting journey and improvement.

    [00:23:11] Advice for podcasters on choosing hosting platforms and getting guests to use good microphones.

    [00:36:23] Adobe Enhance is a tool for cleaning up bad audio, but has no control knobs. If you have separate tracks, it can improve the audio, but other tools like Descript Studio Sound allow for more control. Isotope RX is another alternative, but can be time-consuming.

    [00:44:20] The text provides a comparison between three private podcasting platforms: Glow, Patreon, and Supercast, highlighting their features, pricing, and ease of use for both creators and listeners. It also discusses the challenges of monetizing premium content and emphasizes the importance of promoting it to the audience.

    [00:47:52] The text includes mentions of coffee, supporter music, a new supporter named John, the School of Podcasting, coaching, Podpage, and becoming an awesome supporter of the podcast.

    [01:08:22] Hold phone closer, Rumble Studio for asynchronous interviews.

    [01:13:38] Podcaster talks about using Rumble Studio and a narrative style for interviews and the potential for influencers to promote their episodes. Also mentions a funny encounter with a dog during a recording.
