Podcast Toughts
- You don’t need to be like Big Media
- Put your favorite NPR show, your favorite music and a show you created in your living room on your mom’s MP3 player
- Why the iTunes directory is king
- What’s with the “Pod” anyway? Is there a better word for it?
- Some podcasts are for your eyes only
- Think like the little guy - keep it real
- Just get past your first episode
- What’s in a name? SEO/Branding
- Promotional Tools & Community
- Episodes, shownotes, flash players, widgets
- Stereo vs. Mono, bitrates, filesizes, hosting
- Audio vs. video, text, photo, Internet TV vs. videoblogs
- How do I publish a feed? How do they subscribe?
- Networks vs. all-encompassing shows
- Skype is your best friend
- Playing music during shows
- Atmospherics - is the Air Conditioner a friend or foe?
- Enjoy it while it lasts - AKA “Podfading”
- ENGAGE YOUR AUDIENCE

- I use two MXL V57M microphones and an M-Audio MobilePre USB to record most of my podcasts, but I already owned that equipment when I got into it. I highly recommend spending less than $100 for getting started in a new hobby or experiment like podcasting. A simple USB headset will do the trick.
