    Should I Eat Before Recording?

    Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about what you should eat before a recording session. It’s worth saying right away, that, unless you run an ASMR podcast, you probably want to avoid eating *during* a recording session. Some podcasters feel they have more energy if they’re in a bit of a fasted state when they get behind the mic. Others will snack beforehand on foods that aren’t likely to dry out their mouth or cause brain fog. Many voice coaches swear by green apples for hydrating the mouth. Some other podcasters we know use liquorice to soothe their throats. Nuts and seeds also make for useful pre-recording snacks, whilst common things to avoid are dairy, overly-salty foods, and refined sugars. But, you should always get to know your own body and your own reaction to foods. Everyone’s different, after all. So only ever do what works best for you.

    What Should I Drink Before or During Recording?

    Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about what you should drink before or during recording. Getting behind the mic whilst dehydrated is a bad idea for a couple of reasons. Firstly, you’re just going to have less energy and feel a bit groggy. Secondly, you’re going to make more dry lip-smacking mouth noises that’ll have your listener reaching for the ‘unsubscribe’ button. So be sure to have some water before and during your session. Don’t go overboard, though, as over-hydration can lead to excessive mouth noises, too. Plus, There’s nothing worse than needing a pee ten minutes into an engaging interview. For some podcasters, coffee is their superpower. For others, it can really dry out their mouths. Only you’ll know best what camp you fall into here. In summary, though, a moderate amount of water before and during recording works best for the vast majority of podcasters.

    Pre-Recording Practicalities

    Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about pre-recording practicalities. This is the less glamorous but still vitally important side of recording. Your gear and environment aren’t the only factors that’ll determine whether you sound like a seasoned pro or a complete beginner. As the old saying goes - “failing to prepare is preparing to fail”. Or, here’s a good one to test your mic’s pop filter - “prior preparation prevents poor performance.” On the next few episodes, we’ll take a look at things like mic technique, minimising interruptions, and even how what you eat or drink can affect your show’s audio quality. Finally, we always love to hear your feedback on Pocket-Sized Podcasting. What do you like about the show? And what might we do to make it even better?

    What Makes a Good Podcast Outro?

    Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about what to include in your podcast outro. Just like the podcast intro, there are no “rules” as such, but if you want to close your episode effectively, think about the following. Send them to ONE place - your website. Here they can find show notes with links to everything mentioned in the episode. Put transcriptions and follow-up resources here, too. Next, include ONE ‘Call to Action’ - for example, “subscribe to the podcast”. If you give them too much to do, chances are, they won’t do any of it. Other CTA options might be things like “tell a friend”, “buy the book”, or “support the show”. Finally, if possible, offer them a teaser for the next episode. Whet their appetite for what’s in store, and keep your show fresh in their mind until a new one drops. For a deeper dive on this topic, head over to http://thepodcasthost.com/outros

    What Makes a Good Podcast Outro?

    Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re asking the question “what makes a good podcast outro?”. The final minute or two of your episode goes towards creating a lasting impression in the mind of your listener. You might have done a great job with the intro and main content. But if the show ends poorly, this can be the difference between a new listener hitting subscribe or not. The job of the outro is essentially to thank the listener for their time. Then, point them in the direction of any vital resources mentioned in the episode. It’s also the part where you can ask for something in return. If a listener has stayed to the end they’ve probably enjoyed the episode, so they might be more willing to respond to your request for something like a rating, review, or even a sale.

    Using Cold Opens

    Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about the “Cold Open”. You know when you sit down to watch your favourite TV show and the episode starts before you’ve even opened your bag of Doritos? Then, after about five minutes, the intro kicks in? Well, that’s what’s known as a “cold open“. Many podcasters use cold opens at the beginning of their episodes. You’ve probably heard them before. You hit play and immediately seem to have landed bang in the middle of a guest explaining “…so it was at this point I decided to wear a diving suit made of sirloin steaks and go swimming with sharks.” Obviously, the idea is that you think “wait, how is this idiot still alive to tell the tale? I need to get the full story.” And you keep on listening. Cold opens can be a compelling way to hook listeners. And, for a deeper dive on how to get the best from them, head over to http://ThePodcastHost.com/ColdOpens

    Hooking Your Listener Early

    Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about hooking your listener early. Podcast listeners are selfish. I don’t mean that in a bad way. It’s just that everyone tunes into content with one question in mind - “what’s in this for me?”. If anything is drawn out, confusing, or ambiguous, it’s easy for them to lose interest and switch off. You always have creative freedom with your podcast. But here’s a template you can use as a starting point. “Hello and welcome to the *blank* Podcast. This is the show for *blank*, all about *blank*, and on this episode, have you ever struggled with *blank*? Well, that’s exactly what we’re going to help you with on this week’s show, where you’ll learn how to *blank*” Your target listener hears this and thinks “this is exactly what I’ve been looking for”. And then, all you need to do is deliver on your promise... For a deeper dive on this topic, head over to https://www.thepodcasthost.com/strongstarts

    What to Include in Your Episode Intros

    Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about what to include in your episode intros. There are few “rules” in podcasting - it’s a creative medium, after all. With that said, you can really optimise the intro of your episodes if you include the following things. Firstly, let the listener know who they’re talking to. So, whether you go by your real name or a nickname - introduce yourself. Next, - the title of the show. You might assume they already know it. But they might be working through a huge playlist of new podcasts they’re trying out. Then, crucially, tell them who it's for and what’s in it for them. So, the overall podcast topic might be “to learn Spanish”, and the subject of this episode might be “ordering at a restaurant”. We’re going to cover this in more detail on the next episode when we talk about hooking your listeners early.
