TIMELINE
[00:06:28] Know your audience and reason for creating content to attract the right audience; it's not about equipment or aesthetics. Focusing on the "why" keeps you motivated. Don't create content just for ads, but for a genuine purpose.
[00:08:42] Competition in podcasting isn't as intense as it seems. If you have a clear "why" and achieve it, your podcast is successful regardless of its quality or audience.
[00:13:50] Podcast editor discusses the pressures of producing popular shows and the importance of practice for improving speaking skills on a podcast. Planning can reduce the need for editing.
[00:21:38] Feedback and adjustments made based on listener perspective. Podcasting journey and improvement.
[00:23:11] Advice for podcasters on choosing hosting platforms and getting guests to use good microphones.
[00:36:23] Adobe Enhance is a tool for cleaning up bad audio, but has no control knobs. If you have separate tracks, it can improve the audio, but other tools like Descript Studio Sound allow for more control. Isotope RX is another alternative, but can be time-consuming.
[00:44:20] The text provides a comparison between three private podcasting platforms: Glow, Patreon, and Supercast, highlighting their features, pricing, and ease of use for both creators and listeners. It also discusses the challenges of monetizing premium content and emphasizes the importance of promoting it to the audience.
[00:47:52] The text includes mentions of coffee, supporter music, a new supporter named John, the School of Podcasting, coaching, Podpage, and becoming an awesome supporter of the podcast.
[01:08:22] Hold phone closer, Rumble Studio for asynchronous interviews.
[01:13:38] Podcaster talks about using Rumble Studio and a narrative style for interviews and the potential for influencers to promote their episodes. Also mentions a funny encounter with a dog during a recording.

My prior 2 star review: Awesome content ruined by constant 5 minute long interruptions of “let’s thank our awesome supporters” Please shorten or remove those interruptions.
My new 5 star review: Awesome content. Helpful info for all levels of podcasters.
