Show Notes
There comes a point in every podcast when it's necessary to say a URL. If for nothing else, at least your podcast's own home on the Internet. (And you should have a domain for your podcast!)
Please share this episode from your podcast app or https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/sharingurls
1. Speak as few URLs as possible (per episode)
- Pretty Links Pro: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/go/prettylinkpro
2. Defer to your chapters or episode notes
- Check out Knick Knack News for a great example of actionable episode notes: https://knickknacknews.com/
- Captivate: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/captivate
- Buzzsprout: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/buzzsprout
- Blubrry: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/blubrry
- I'm pushing hard for Podcasting 2.0 to turn our current podcast chapters into “super chapters”: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/discussions/469
3. Never say "https://" or "www."
4. Simplify your URLs
- Remove the third-party brand name completely and make it a generic URL: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/stop-saying-brand-names-in-your-podcast-do-these-5-things-instead/
- Patreon: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/patreon
5. Make friendly URLs that make sense
- Episode numbers didn't actually matter: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/are-podcast-episode-numbers-really-necessary-in-podcasting-show-notes-tap175/
6. Say "slash" not "forward slash" or "backslash"
7. Slow down and speak clearly
- Podcast transcripts: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/how-to-use-podcast-transcripts/
8. Clarify or avoid ambiguity
9. Be careful with top-level domains that aren't .com
- That Story Show: http://thatstoryshow.com/
10. Beware case-sensitivity
11. Always test your URLs before you share them
