Ash and Kane discuss frequently asked questions about the legal aspects of podcasting. While most podcasters won't encounter these issues, they talk about when having contracts in place matters and why maintaining clear communication with your guest is always important.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Podcast advert regulations are much more relaxed than other platforms such as TV. This means there are certain industries it appeals to, such as gambling.
Sending long contracts with editing clauses will put off guests. It’s unnecessary.
Good interview practice is to simply ask the guest if there are any topics they don’t want to discuss.
If your guest breaches their NDA, and you still publish it, you are also at risk of being sued.
If someone is paying you commercially, such as a sponsor, then you need to ensure you have the correct contracts in place.

BEST MOMENTS

“Be careful if the guest you're interviewing has NDAs”

“Who do you think you could get sued by the quickest?”

“99.9% of you could do a million episodes and this will never come up”

“if you’re generating income that’s all under contract”

90% of podcasters give up podcasting in the first 20 episodes! So in this episode, Ash and Kane give tips to keep you motivated with your podcast including how to build a realistic approach and why outsourcing more time-consuming tasks can make a difference.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


People give up mainly because they have started podcasting for the wrong reasons. If you have passion and have educated yourself about monetisation you are already ahead of the game.
Outsourcing the difficult tasks, the ones you find boring or the time-consuming aspects of podcasting that are low value can help you keep your podcast going.
Have a realistic approach to podcasting before you start.
Approach your podcast like a business.
It’s easy to get complacent when podcasting, you need to keep up momentum and passion so you don’t stagnate.
Burnout can happen, it’s better to start smaller and then stretch yourself if you then find you have more capability and time.

BEST MOMENTS

“It’s not easy, it can be a bit of a time-suck”

“Outsource the difficult tasks”

“You wouldn’t just give a business a go for a couple of months, people need to approach podcasting like a business”

“If you’re expecting results instantly it might not happen”

“It’s so much better to start with less than you think you’re capable of doing than it is to stretch yourself as you can build it up”

Inspired by the question “What was the last thing you changed your mind about?” Ash and Kane dive into the latest trends in podcasting and content creation, sharing valuable insights on what's working now. From the rise of casual podcast clips to focusing your energy on one social media platform, they offer practical advice for growing your brand. Join them as they discuss investing in studios, launching with fewer episodes, and the surprising truth about Spotify's dominance in the podcasting world.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Podcast clips featuring casual conversations are outperforming highly produced, direct-to-camera content on social media
Invest 70% of your energy into creating the best possible podcast, and focus the remaining 30% on building a strong presence on one social platform
Renting a professional studio for in-person interviews can greatly enhance your podcast's quality and appeal to high-profile guests
Launching with four episodes instead of six can still lead to a successful podcast while avoiding negative impacts on your YouTube channel
Spotify has surpassed Apple in terms of individual podcast listeners, despite Apple's higher download numbers due to auto-downloads
A microphone is the modern-day equivalent of a lab coat or clipboard, instantly lending credibility to the speaker
Engaging with your audience through comments, DMs, and behind-the-scenes content is crucial for building relationships and growing your personal brand
Investing in post-production and professional editing should be a top priority for podcasters before considering paid advertising or guest payments

BEST MOMENTS

"A microphone is the new lab coat. If someone's walking around with a clipboard or something, if they had a clipboard and a lab coat, then you can get in anywhere."

"Instead of being okay on four platforms, I could be really good on one."

"Guests are way more likely to say yes when you've got a nice fancy studio, even if you're not that well known."

"We don't think it's necessary to do six [episodes at launch]. We do think four will suffice."

"Spotify is doing well, I guess. We haven't changed our mind on Spotify being shit though."

Ash & Kane discuss different production options for podcasters, including AI, agencies, in-house teams, freelancers, and doing it yourself. They delve into the pros and cons of each option, emphasizing the importance of quality input in the production process. In the chat, they dive into why having team members dedicated solely to the podcast can be a game-changer, and talk about how agencies can offer valuable support. Plus, they share some tips on using AI tools to make episodes even better and discuss why it's so important to keep promoting and engaging with our audience to keep our podcast growing strong.

KEY TAKEAWAYS



Production Options: AI, agency, in-house team, freelancers, and do-it-yourself.



Hiring Employees: Hiring employees is considered the best option due to their dedication, expertise, and focus on the podcast project.



Agencies: Agencies are a good option for those who want a team of experts managing the production process, providing a single contact point for the client.



AI Tools: While AI tools can be useful for certain tasks like mixing podcasts or creating captions, they are not recommended as standalone solutions for podcast production.



BEST MOMENTS



"Realistically, whether you've got an in-house editor, freelance, using AI, whatever it is, your input needs to be good."



"You might have the best chef, [the podcaster]. You might have the best editor, right? But if your ingredients are out of date, your final result is going to be disgusting."



"The best question you can ask a video editor in an interview is, what content do you consume?"

They share their experiences and provide practical tips on overcoming imposter syndrome, getting out of your own way, and taking action. Don’t miss out on this essential guide for aspiring podcasters and learn the first steps needed when starting a podcast.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Overcome imposter syndrome by interviewing experts and absorbing their knowledge, becoming an authority over time
Set up your equipment and do test recordings to familiarise yourself with the process, even if you don't plan to launch yet
Listen to podcasts in your niche to get a feel for what you like and don't like, but don't get stuck in the research phase!
Book interviews or studio sessions to create accountability and commitment to your podcast
Avoid scripting your episodes, as it can hinder your ability to be authentic and engage with your guests
Embrace the fact that your first episodes might not be perfect, but the only way to improve is by doing
Don't make excuses or lie to yourself about why you haven't started; be honest about your fears and take action
Consistency is key! Keep recording, learning, and improving with each episode

BEST MOMENTS

"Own the fact that you're scared to get started or you've got impostor syndrome. You don't need to make up an excuse, especially when you're talking to one of us because we must get it so often."

"If you are suffering with imposter syndrome, and you think, well, I've only been in that space a few years, I don't feel like I can be teaching, fine. But with podcasting, so many people do interviews. So you could know nothing about a subject."
