Yes. It's great to be here. I'm so ready for . Lots of gems on how to create an awesome podcast
Hi sweetheart. I hope you are doing a little better:)
How can I create one, when I can't even stay current listening to the good ones I follow?!
That's the thing. It's a hard balancing act.
I struggle with it myself. I usually listen to two episodes a day max due to producing my episodes
I think a good place for us to start with is the topic: How to start a podcast that matters

My hands are full with my job and my blog. A podcast isn't in my cards at the moment... But it's on the wishlist.
Hi , thank you! I caught that nasty bug going around lol...
Even if you haven't started a and want to add it in the future, then this Twitter chat is for you. Preparation is good
Totally understandable. I can tell you like to learn, so when the time is right for you, then you will be ready!
RT : Even if you haven't started a and want to add it in the future, then this Twitter chat is for you.
I pray you have a speed recovery :)
Balance? Who has balance..lol RT : That's the thing. It's a hard balancing act.
Hello Isabel! Great to have you join us.
I think the most time consuming part is the prep. Then, once you have your podcast planned, it gets that "groove."
A1. What type of podcast would you like to produce? What niche?
A1. What type of podcast would you like to produce? What niche?
So true. I had to eventually outsource some of the prep and editing so I could focus on producing
I hear some do Google Hangouts and strip out the audio for podcasts. Less "post-production activity." Less perfection.

A1. I wanted to produce a podcast that was entertaining and laid back yet perfect for entrepreneurs to get value
A1. A little parenting, a little geek (tech), a little bit TV talk.
Yep -we do that. We create a video, but then have podcast ver. We run the audio thru our sound board
Oops. I meant - Q1. What type of podcast would you like to produce? What niche?
RT : A1. A little parenting, a little geek (tech), a little bit TV talk. Hey Shavonn! :)
Yes, John. You are so right. And the quality is superb.
I like that Shavonn RT A1. A little parenting, a little geek (tech), a little bit TV talk.
The key thing to remember with hosting a podcast is that you have FUN

A1. Would love to do some lifestyle; relationships, women's empowerment, etc
Podcasting isn't for everyone. So don't feel you have to do it because everyone else is doing it.
thanks! Hopefully, I’ll get around to it. I’ll have to stop hating my voice first lol
I luv the question (Q1) And, like said.. "a little bit TV talk"
Yes! RT : A1. Would love to do some lifestyle; relationships, women's empowerment, etc

Q2. What type of listener do you want to attract to your podcast? Very important
LOL! I used to dislike my voice but people like it
A1: I'd like to interview those who naturally bring their best to their world. SMEs in communication, networking, etc.
lol I sound like a small child when recorded
John - Do you like to listen, participate, or produce podcasts? Oh, do share :)
You must know the answer to Q2 BEFORE you hit record.

I listen (on fast forward). I produce, deliver, and host webinars often but not a podcast.
That sounds very interesting, John :) Great audience base.
Thanks, I think it has "legs."
A2. I’d target geeky women who aren’t necissarily nerds. There’s a difference!
Though.. you are over halfway there, with the webinars. You could make them into podcasts :)
A2. I want listeners who are solopreneurs or aspiring business owners who need business advice with a twist of inspiration

Q3. Do you think hosting a podcast is a wise marketing tactic to build a tribe? Why?
RT I enjoyed the Podcast track at . Of course, they mostly have fan podcasts but had great tips.
Like sometimes you can upgrade your sound by downgrading your high end mic. that picks up every sound around.
Q3. Do you think hosting a podcast is a wise marketing tactic to build a tribe? Why?
A3. I think it depends on your audience and how accessible your podcast is
RT Like sometimes you can upgrade your sound by downgrading your high end mic. that picks up every sound around.
Good point, Da Vinci. RT : A3. I think it depends on your audience and how accessible your podcast is
A3. Yes it is because you get your listeners attention for a good length of time
Or, using a shotgun mic that only pics up what is directly in front of it. 'Course, don't turn to the side, then.
A3. Listeners choose to listen to your podcast and they feel as if they know you on a deeper level. That's golden!
Those factors do matter RT A3. I think it depends on your audience and how accessible your podcast is

Yes, that is a great goal to have. First you must build a good audience base so they can trust you.

That's of great quality RT I was going to try a Snowball to start.
. It helps minimize echo and outside noise. I can tell a big difference with it. Local music store had it.
Q4: What type of format will you use for your podcast? Monolouge, interview style, tips, etc
RT . It helps minimize echo and outside noise. I can tell a big difference with it...
RT Q4: What type of format will you use for your podcast? Monolouge, interview style, tips, etc
A4, I don't think monologue's work. We always try to have multiple voices on webinars.
They work for some people. But they have good experiece with it. I love having more than one voice.
Agreed! RT A4, I don't think monologue's work. We always try to have multiple voices on webinars.
That is an excellent question! Something I wonder if people think about before starting
RT : A4, I don't think monologue's work. We always try to have multiple voices on webinars.
Q4: What type of format will you use for your podcast? Monolouge, interview style, tips, etc
A4. Monologue probably. Coordinating with someone on my schedule is extremely difficult. Maybe guests
Q5. The format I use is conversational style. It's like listeners get to be a fly on the wall. Not scripted. I love it

Challenge is that sometimes co-hosts r not available. Interview style works well, but need to put time into schedule

I'm sorry guys and ladies. I meant A4. with the format I use.
A4 I think a monologue (so u r not dependent on others), but then try to have guests, too.

A4, that's a good idea. You can always have a monlogue without rounding up a guest EVERY time.
Podcasting tip: Set up an automated scheduling system to improve the chances of them showing up. We will cover that soon.

Q5. Do you think you will produce live or recorded podcast episodes? Why?
A5. Live is fun/engaging. Recorded offers scheduling flexibility.
Podcasting Tip: Create a podcast calendar - include production, editing, broadcasting, and promotion
But you record the fun and engaging live conversations.
RT A5. Live is fun/engaging. Recorded offers scheduling flexibility.
A5. Recorded. Ew at live. Haha. Plus, I have kids and laugh nervously sometimes. I need edits!!
A5. I think depending on your topic, it could be cool to do a mix of live/pre-recorded content
A5. I record my podcast so I can add the plugs in later - promos, music, announcements, and shout out to listeners

Q6: What is a good length of time for you to produce an episode?
MT : A5. Recorded. Ew at live. Haha. Plus, I have kids and laugh nervously sometimes. I need edits!!
Good point, John! RT : But you record the fun and engaging live conversations.
A6. I think a good length for my podcast episodes is 30-45 mins becuase that's enough time to add value for listeners
how long the ep should be or how much time you put into it?
As in, how long should post-production take? Or, the actual podcast length?
you could always add your own chat feature to converse during the recorded shows :)
How much time the episode should be.
A6. I have found that 15-20 min works well. No one really listens to the 60 min all the way through.. I don't ..
I always find that after a hour of a podcast, I’m always mad when it ends. I wasn’t done hearing you Lol
The actual length of the podcast:)
Oooh! like RT : you could always add your own chat feature to converse during recorded shows :)
A6. 1hr to start definitely. More for guests?
great minds think alike lol

I do! I listen to several podcasts at work while I code!
Haha. That's funny. It's always good to give your listeners something to do after the episode is over.
That should work:) RT A6. 1hr to start definitely. More for guests?
I’ll actually be doing a post on my blog of my favorite podcasts this week!
A6 U know, it comes back to audience & targeting. If advertised as "quick tip" > shorter.. more in-depth > longer
