Welcome to PodOn, the podcast where we share stories from other podcasters and talk with them about the challenges we all face when beginning the podcasting journey. If you are a podcaster, we would love to hear your story and your feedback. If you love this podcast, please subscribe and share it with your friends.
We are all storytellers, and it would be a disservice to the world to stop anyone from sharing their content; yet, as popular as it is today, podcasting isn’t necessarily an accessible industry. In today’s episode, TJ and Julian sit down to chat with Jay LeBoeuf, Head of Business Development at Descript, to talk about the diversity of the industry, the importance of inclusion, and how a single tool is making a major paradigm shift in the podcasting ecosystem through empowerment. Are you eager to start your new podcast? Then find a way and start today!

(00:45) - Paradigms and tools: On Jay’s Pro Tools and Descript journey - “So much of what we’ve been trying to do is take things and make them simpler.”
(06:49) - Solving the blank canvas problem, boosting creativity and making things simpler for any user - “There is really no reason why someone couldn’t tell their story using Descript.”
(13:23) - The high impact value of repurposing content and the magic of Descript’s stock voices - “In the context of every amazing conversation there are going to be several pull quotes, so why don’t we get those out there?”
(19:43) - Reframing old rules and creating inclusion with a single software - “When you’re working with a tool that’s revolving around transcription as its core DNA, you have no excuse to not make everything accessible.”
(24:50) - The thin line between high quality and over editing - “Yeah, with one click you can fix everything, but with a few more clicks you can back it off a little bit and insert some feeling.”
(29:56) - The revolution of the industry - “Every business person now has to be a creator in charge of their own messaging and communication style.”
