podcastingequipment

We're talking about your podcasting equipment, especially for beginners. What are the things you need to record and to get going with your first podcast? There is a lot of content on the web, lists that already tell you what podcast equipment you can buy, what you need to buy, et cetera...

However, I'm going to break down for you today what you need to start versus what you need as you grow and move forward.

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Discover the 4 essential pieces of equipment you actually need
• Find out what the best software is for podcasters
• Learn what you'll need as you grow

QUOTES:

"You need a dynamic microphone so that you are only picking up the sound that is four inches from the microphone."

"If you're doing interviews, record everything in video. Whether you use it or not at the beginning doesn't matter."

"Sometimes your software is just as interesting to know about when you're moving into this field."

Chris Brogan joins us for this episode of the ASMM Small Business Connections Podcast to talk about why you should think about your business as a show. In today’s marketing space, it is more important than ever to figure out how to engage your audience between their purchases when they may or may not want to buy. For 2021 and beyond we continue to find new ways to gain our audience’s attention.  

We discuss:

“Why should a business think about itself as a show?”

“You’re changing your title to ‘Showrunner.’ What’s that about?”

“Can you run a business without thinking about it as a show?”

“What are the practical elements to work through to make a show?"

Turning your business into a show is a means of packaging your business’s information to stay top of mind when our audience is deciding to buy. Gain someone’s attention and make good use of it. We learned in 2020 that localized businesses do really matter and that the community will support their local businesses.

The showrunner role is similar to that of the CEO in regard to theme maintenance. The CEO’s responsibility is to define the vision of the business while recruiting and nurturing the staff who are going to keep the vision flowing. As a showrunner, the question to answer is, what do I need to do to take into account the theme or scope of the business. The marketing goal of the showrunner is to get the little rectangle box out of someone’s pocket and gain the audiences’ attention. Chris uses the Mandalorian as an example. The showrunner-CEO is the director who ensures the theme actor delivers their lines in character, staying with the theme as a whole. The showrunner figures out new ways to run your business.
