How loud should your podcast be‪?‬ PodSchool

    • Technology

If you've been podcasting for a long time you'll probably know the frustration of flipping from one podcast to another, or even from one episode of the same show to another and having to increase or decrease your volume.

At best this is annoying, at worst it's enough to blast your eardrums off.

But having a standard level for the volume of a podcast (podcast loudness) means a better user experience for podcast listeners and no angry complaint letters for you because someone got tinnitus from listening to your show.

In this episode I take you through the standard level of podcast loudness you should be applying across every episode.

About me…

My name is Rachel Corbett and I've worked professionally for almost two decades in radio and podcasting. I've hosted and produced shows for some of the biggest radio networks in Australia, created three of my own independent podcasts and I was Head of Podcasts for Mamamia, the largest women's podcast network in the world.

At Mamamia, I grew the podcast network from 15 to over 35 shows, the team from two to nine producers and the audience to over 1 million unique listeners a month and over 90 million downloads which is more than quadruple where it was when I started.

I've also hosted over ten podcasts with more than 2 million downloads including Lady Startup, Eligible, Before The Bump and You’ve Gotta Start Somewhere. You can find all my podcasts at rachelcorbett.com.au/podcasts.

I've taught radio and podcasting at the Australia Film Television and Radio School and have my own online podcasting course, PodSchool, so if you're looking for someone who knows what they're talking about when it comes to pods, you've come to the right place.
