    I am married with 3 older children (ages 15 to 22), and we are talking about starting a family podcast. To start, we are looking at cheap ways to turn an extra bedroom into a studio. We have some higher level types of USB microphones, and some good computers with editing software. Working on sound treating, etc.

    The way you touch your fingers and your arm is stuck to your body, It makes you seem nervous I would recommend for you to move your arm freely and get it away from your body that would make you seem more confident and trustworthy, But the way you talk and share your information Is super super great!! wish you all luck❤❤❤

  • @snap-n-shoot
    @snap-n-shoot 2 года назад +1

    Great information. Most podcasts fail because of the subject matter. Most think you press record and start talking but it is actually not that easy or straight forward. If on your own, write a script, rewrite, then practice many times out loud. hitting record and to start talking with no idea but "I am an expert in this topic so I will be ok" is always a disaster. Many times over the years I have had experts in their field turn up and do none of the prep work I asked. Most ended up being abandoned. One person spend 2 hours just trying to say their name. The pressing of the record button or on the camera and the red light comes on, commonly freezes people. I now spend a lot of time beforehand acclimatizing them to the studio with small talk to relax them. When having 2 or more in the podcast, have the questions agreed in advance and give the questions to the participant in advance so they know what to say and have good answered prepared.. Its a podcast, not an interrogation. In todays fast consumption society, so many think that just having a recording device, no matter how basic, makes them a "professional". Successful podcasting is extremely difficult and a lot of work goes into it, but the prep work makes it look easy, which is the purpose. I have a Msc and Phd in digital content and learning development and I have often been "told" in talks and lectures that "why do I need to get any experience or qualifications, when I can go onto RUclips and learn everything you know in a week....."

    Just some feedback on this video. Excellent overall, but when mentioning Buzzsprout (which I never heard of because I’m a newbie) there was nothing on the screen to show the URL or even a shot of the Buzzsprout home page to identify the site. Watching on my firetv, I couldn’t make out what the host was saying 100% so I wound up coming to the app to see what the website was.
    Just a little thing, and just a suggestion.
    This video was awesome!

    Love this! and yes, starting your own podcast is HUGE. But I ALSO think that doing interviews on OTHER people's podcasts can get you even bigger results! Think about it...big exposure, brand building, credibility by being interviewed by another thought leader/influencer. It's the fastest path to building your authority. It's why my team built out a whole program teaching entrepreneurs how to land those interviews.

    What basic equipment would you recommend for zoom calls? Basically, we have 2 people on one PC (me and an elderly family member, who is hard to hear) with another person on the other end, like a doctor. Would 2 Blackwire C5220 headsets for us do the trick? How do we connect and manage on our 1 PC to talk to another person on zoom? Or do we need a base Yeti? Of course, for a family member to hear better a headset would work, but I would not be able to hear the person on the other end of the zoom.
