    100 Days, 100 Episodes

    Thanks to you for listening to my show. I want to share what I've learned on this journey so far. And what I'm planning next. But in short, this show will be on hiatus for a couple of weeks. And after that, return as a weekly show. I couldn't resist but use my trusty Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to record this episode. Just the way I started with episode one. Stay safe, everyone. PRODUCTION NOTES Recording device: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (Handheld with no cover over the mic) Recording app: Auphonic Edit for Android Recording location: Bedroom with no pillow fort Recording format: 16bit WAV Sound Treatment Mixing and EQ: Adobe Audition Editorial Edit: Descript.com Mastering Sound Treatment: Auphonic Productions at Auphonic.com Auphonic.com settings [to output as a 16bit mono WAV file]: Adaptive Leveler (on), Loudness Normalization (Loudness Target -19 LUFS ), Filtering (on), Noise and Hum Reduction (Reduction Amount: Auto), Sample rate: 44.1kHz I uploaded the resulting WAV file to Anchor.fm to host the file and added the music from their free music stock.

    099 - Do You Need a Website?

    What are the pro's and con's of creating and maintaining a website to support your engagement with your tribe? Maybe it's something you can postpone until your podcast production workflow is running like clockwork?

    098 - Consume Your Show Like as a Listener

    Before you hit publish, make sure you listen to your show in the sort of environments that your audience will. Also, keep up to date with the latest features of podcast listening apps. Some of them act like content vampires, and some can apply post-production effects as well as we can! PRODUCTION NOTES: Recording Mic: Zoom LMF-2 Lavalier mic Recording device: Zoom F2 32 bit float Field Recorder Recording location: Dining Table (No pillow-fort) Recording format: WAV (32-bit float mono) Sound Treatment Mixing and EQ: Adobe Audition Editorial Edit: Descript.com Mastering Sound Treatment: Auphonic Productions at Auphonic.com Auphonic.com settings [to output as a 16bit mono WAV file]: Adaptive Leveler (on), Loudness Normalization (Loudness Target -19 LUFS ), Filtering (on), Noise and Hum Reduction (Reduction Amount: Auto), Sample rate: 44.1kHz I uploaded the resulting WAV file to Anchor.fm to host the file and added the music from their free music stock.

    097 - Upgrading My Mic

    I've had my Samsom Q2U for a few years now and I'm changing it for a Sontronics Podcast Pro ( https://www.sontronics.com/podcastpro ). In this episode, I share the logic behind my selection and the factors I am taking into consideration.

    096 - Where should I invest my money?

    Podcasting can be a rabbit hole of tech to buy. How should you allocate your budget? In my opinion, your microphone doesn't even make the top three list of priorities. PRODUCTION NOTES: Recording Mic: Zoom LMF-2 Lavalier mic Recording device: Zoom F2 32 bit float Field Recorder Recording location: Dining Table (No pillow-fort) Recording format: WAV (32-bit float mono) Sound Treatment Mixing and EQ: Adobe Audition Editorial Edit: Descript.com Mastering Sound Treatment: Auphonic Productions at Auphonic.com Auphonic.com settings [to output as a 16bit mono WAV file]: Adaptive Leveler (on), Loudness Normalization (Loudness Target -19 LUFS ), Filtering (on), Noise and Hum Reduction (Reduction Amount: Auto), Sample rate: 44.1kHz I uploaded the resulting WAV file to Anchor.fm to host the file and added the music from their free music stock.

    095 - Brand Promise

    Your brand is your promise to your audience. Why is this crucial to get right for podcasting? How can you design a simple brand promise? BRAND  PROMISE TEMPLATE - Complete this sentence: The only ________________________________ (What?) That____________________________________ (Category?) For_____________________________________ (Who is the listener?) In______________________________________ Where is the market or geography?) In an era of  ____________________________ (When. Underlying trend?) E.g. for my show, this would be: "The only solo podcast that publishes daily content on the art and craft of podcasting, for proactive podcasters starting their journey, in English speaking countries, in an era where COVID is making people rely on themselves to make their voices heard and develop a side hustle or passion project." PRODUCTION NOTES: Recording Mic: Zoom LMF-2 Lavalier mic Recording device: Zoom F2 32 bit float Field Recorder Recording location: Dining Table (No pillow-fort and hence the reverb, argh!)

    093 - OBS.ninja

    OBS.ninja is a free web service that allows you to stream live video from a smartphone, tablet, or remote computer, directly into OBS Studio. What this means is that you can use it to record remote video (or audio-only) interviews with more than one guest, without time limits, and on separate tracks, for free. Here are a couple of tutorials: Free Video Conferencing - The OBS Ninja Website App Is INCREDIBLE: https://youtu.be/8Rhtr9E3owE From Steve Seguin, the genius developer of OBS.ninja Getting started: The Room (OBS Ninja Podcast ep02) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1cIT1kdlEo PRODUCTION NOTES Recording Mic: Zoom LMF-2 Lavalier mic Recording device: Zoom F2 32 bit float Field Recorder Recording location: Bedroom with no pillow fort Recording format: WAV (32-bit float mono) Sound Treatment Mixing and EQ: Adobe Audition Editorial Edit: Descript.com Mastering Sound Treatment: Auphonic Productions at Auphonic.com Auphonic.com settings [to output as a 16bit mono WAV file]: Adaptive Leveler (on), Loudness Normalization (Loudness Target -19 LUFS ), Filtering (on), Noise and Hum Reduction (Reduction Amount: Auto), Sample rate: 44.1kHz I uploaded the resulting WAV file to Anchor.fm to host the file and added the music from their free music stock.
