Show Notes
In this bonus episode, Mike Elder - who produces 'Where Your Treasure Is...' on behalf of Free Range Podcasting - takes a light-hearted look at some of the technical issues and challenges that Simon and Bex encountered during the recording of the first season of the podcast.
Seven aspects of creating a podcast are covered, as follows:
- To produce a podcast, you need sound, and to produce sound you need a microphone (preferably one that is switched on). [02:40]
- To hear the sound produced during a recording, you need headphones (preferably a set that don't require pressure to be applied to an electrical connection in order to work). [03:36]
- Audio software settings also need to be mastered if good quality sound is to be produced. [05:01]
- A very distinctive element of audio recordings and podcasting is the need to neutralise the risk of sounds such as plosives and sibilance creating an unpleasant listening experience. [07:23]
- The technical issues aren't restricted to equipment and software, however. The brain also needs to be engaged. [08:00]
- And once recording has begun, an alert brain continues to be important if lapses in concentration and delivery are to be avoided. [09:44]
- The importance of keeping "the main thing the main thing" is emphasised, particularly as far the show's email address and the name of the show are concerned. [13:08]
- Finally, and in the spirit of the rest of the episode, three top tips for navigating the podcasting journey are shared! [15:23]
