I agree with this. If you aren't passionate about you subject or genuinely interested in learning new things it will show and people won't listen.

Fan mail is super great and rewarding.

Like I send magnets to any fan that wants for free. It's cost me about $250 over the years but the feedback I get is great. People really appreciate it. I have sent them to Norway, Greenland, German, Korea and more. Al I ask is a photo back and people mostly keep their end of the bargain.

But if I didn't like wants I was doing there is no way I'd still b doing it 6 years later.

We started with the Zoom H2 in the middle of the table between all the hosts and edited in Audacity. It's an easy solution but it will pick up room noise.

I do a podcast with two guys and we use this Yeti. http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Microphones-Yeti-USB-Microphone/dp/B002VA464S

It sounds really good (especially if you're in the right room) and because of the directional settings you can pick up two people very well. Check out the 4.5 star rating with several thousand votes. However, I think the Yeti USBs can have problems connecting to mixers so that is something to think about.

It's hard to soar with the eagles when you work with Turkeys!!



If you do it with an H2 (Which is a great recorder, btw), make sure you remember to get room tone every time you record. Room tone is just 15-30 seconds of silence recorded in the room before you start doing the podcast. Since you're not working with a more advanced condenser mic setup you're going to be picking up faint sound from things like the overhead lights and the like, so even when it's silent it's not going to be totally silent. That means that just zeroing the audio where an edit exists is going to be sort of jarring. If you take a short segment (1 to 2 seconds) of room tone and splice it in, however, it makes it seem like the edit was a natural pause in the conversation. You can heavily edit and not have it be obvious if you use this technique.

We are up and running with 4 podcasts published and 4 more queued.

So far each episode has gotten better both in terms of content and quality.

I have a few questions though.

1) If it is myself and another person in the room, what is the best way to interview someone and record it if they will be on phone, skype, etc?

2) We've gotten requests to do video podcasts as well since we talk about working out and training to make it easy to demonstrate stuff. How does that work?

Will we just film the podcast and upload it the same way and submit it to apple? Will we have 2 podcasts show up on iTunes now one video and one audio for the same episodes? Finally if we edit the audio one to clean up some dead space, likes, and uh's, how hard it is to do the same with the video version (or does that even matter)?

If anyone is interested, here is our itunes link - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/genesis-strength-faction-podcast/id1042657307?mt=2

I don't know the first thing about video podcasts (put it on YouTube is as good as I got) and the answer to the first of your questions isn't really possible without knowing what sort of setup you already have and how much, if any money, you are willing and able to spend. Not that you necessarily have to spend anything at all, but it will help to provide some options.

I can comment a bit on the editing of video in saying that it is long and laborious and if you want it to look halfway decent. You can't just cut out the unwanted bits like with audio because you'll see the person jerk about in an unnatural manner. To fix that, you have to cut to other visuals to drop the uhhhs and ummms and that means you'll need to shoot a lot of B-roll At least your genre might lend itself well enough to that as you could presumably cut to someone lifting something heavy , trim the audio, and come back to the speaker.

In that case you may as well just record a second waveform on the computer using if Skype or just through the line-in port if by phone. To tap your cell phone, you'll need a cable like this:



which you might just have lying around if you ever owned a camcorder, otherwise it is about two bucks on Amazon (search 4 pole RCA). You'll need to split the audio channels to some monitor speakers and off to the line-in on the PC, plus have some sort of cheap mic to send a signal back. Might be looking at $20 for all that, much of which can be found at the dollar store.

A land line will require this:



which is unlikely to be a thing you just happen to have around, but it only costs four bucks on Amazon (search RJ 11 to 3.5mm). You'll need a regular 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable like you'd use to plug in an ipod to an AUX IN port on something, which is exactly what you will do with that, plug it into the computer and so you can record. You probably have one of those, if not, they are also a dollar store sourceable part.

Editing with this can get tricky if you talk over each other a lot. Unlike the cellphone method that will just record the caller side audio, this method gets you and the caller on the recording. That will be a real pain in the rear end for the first couple of episodes until you learn to shut the gently caress up when the other guy is talking so you don't have an editing nightmare to deal with afterwards.

If you feel like dropping hundreds instead of just the cash you'd save by skipping a couple of beers this weekend. If you have a lot of cash to spend on this (seriously, don't yet, wait until you've been going for at least six months) there are many more fancy things out there, but this is the it's-not-pretty-but-it-works solution.

If you want people to be able to call in on their phone, set up a phone number through Skype. It's pretty cheap and it allows people to call into your Skype on their phone, no computer required on their part.

As far as actually connecting Skype to how you're recording, that depends on you budget, equipment, etc. But definitely use Skype for your phone calls, not just Skype calls. It's really the most headache free way of doing it.

We've had raging success with Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/bloodygoodhorror?ty=h We're currently at $1,101 and steamrolled through our first three milestones on the first day. We've been REALLY happy with it!

We spent a lot of time organizing and discussing our milestones, coming up with rewards we could deliver and still pull out ahead on. A lot of milestones included stuff we already had or were planning on. For $1, we took our three spinoff shows and put them behind the paywall. We also started live video streams when we record, putting access to that behind the paywall as well. Then we moved up to stickers and coasters. After that, T Shirts, access to our back catalog (8 years of content we used to charge $.99 an ep for) etc. We even used the $$ to fund the development of our new web app we released yesterday http://www.killer-flix.com/

So the key is, sensible milestones you know you can hit and delivering or them fairly quick and good communication through Patreon. We've started delivering our stickers, shirts etc probably about 3 months after we went live with the campaign. By that point, we *just* started getting a couple emails in asking when stuff would start shipping. We send updates weekly so as to not be too spammy.

Sorry audio stuff baffles me lol.

None of that goes directly to the computer, but signal gets to one eventually. Follow this somewhat lengthily guide for a cheap and inelegant solution for what you are trying to do with audio considerably better than putting someone on speakerphone.

Here's a diagram of what needs to happen:



If there is a heavy black rectangle showing the connections you have to make with a cable of some sort. They're all labelled and here are some pictures. And when I say PC Line In, Microphone In also works, just like Speaker Out will work instead of Headphone Out.

Just so everything is in one post, here's the Camcorder Cable (one male 3.5 mm to three female RCA)



Y-Splitter (one male to two female)



RCA to 3.5mm cable (two male RCA to one 3.5 mm Male)



Mystery Cable/Adapter to attach the Omni mic to the phone (probably this female stereo 3.5 mm to male mono RCA adapter)



The Omni Mic (omnidirectional microphone) is a cheap desktop mic for a computer. It's cable is a mystery because maybe you find something that has an RCA on it already, but you almost certainly won't because the cheap ones all pretty much have a 3.5mm male end so you can plug them into your computer.

Here's it is step by step:

1) Connect the Camcorder Cable to the Phone.

*2) Connect the Omni Mic to the Camcorder Cable using the Mystery Cable/Adapter.

*3) Connect the PC (Line In) to the Camcorder Cable using the RCA to 3.5mm Cable

Note: I cannot tell you which colours to use for these, you are going to have to do a bit of trial and error testing. Your first impulse will be to connect the red and white from the Camcorder Cable to the red and white of the RCA to 3.5mm Cable and use the yellow for the Omni Mic. And that may be correct, or it may not. You can be sure that one of red or white will be audio so the trial and error to switch everything around won't take much doing.

4) Connect the PC (Headphone Out) to Headphones A and B using the Y-Splitter.

5.1) If using Windows, make sure you can hear the Line In input. Right click on the speaker icon on the task bar (lower right) and then left click on Recording Properties. From the Sound dialogue box, right click on the Line In icon and then left click on Properties. From the Line In Properties dialogue box, left click on the Listen tab and make sure the box next to "Listen to this device" has a check mark. Click Apply/OK as necessary until all dialogue boxes are closed.

5.2) If using a Mac, figure it out your own drat self.

5.3) If using Linux, you probably should have figured all this out yourself.

6) Configure recording software to use Line In for as its source. Check levels!

Here's what happens once everything is working:

You and your co-host are recording on the Zoom like always. What you say will be recorded there, but also picked up with the Omni Mic and sent to the caller. As far a the phone knows, it just has a headset attached.

What the caller says will be heard in your headphones as it is recorded on the computer. Your voices will not be recorded on the computer, only the caller's. The file from the Zoom and the file from the computer then have to be edited together. This seems stupid but it makes editing much better because if one of you cough or interrupt the caller, it can be edited out. From the listener's perspective, this is a good thing.

You could take the audio out from the computer and put it to monitor speakers, but there is a chance your Zoom starts recording it so it is better to go with headphones. You may experience some trouble hearing your cohost if you have headphones on, so just use one side.

Partial episode 4 transcript:

[unintelligible noise]

Man [quiet]: okay

Man [loud, exhale]: Wooh!

[VU peaks because man is too close to mic]

Man [normal]: It is another Sunday night...

Ok...

So, in the first ten seconds you have two major audio issues and have outright lied about something. This is a really bad start and if I was just browsing through some podcasts I would have stopped right there and never went back.

Going through content, I am a minute in and the podcast hasn't told me what it is going to be about, but I know Phil works with you and he bought a microphone. Is this a podcast about who owns what percentage of the podcast, because that's the only content I am hearing for the first three minutes.

At five minutes in, I still have no idea what this is about. There is a bit of mention of the Korean DMZ and something about Thai food. And a plot rundown of a James Bond film.

What is this episode of your podcast about, and for that matter what is your podcast about in general? The podcast should tell me, I shouldn't have to read a description of the episode to know what it was about. And if I did read that description out of curiosity, I'd be confused about what the podcast is about because you are not talking about what the description says it is about.

Apparently it is about Asia, which finally gets revealed about seven minutes in. That means ten per cent of the episode has been wasted on things that aren't the topic.

Almost wasted anyway, as Phil admits to not knowing what the words he uses means. And you say that Phil knows a lot of "random erroneous things about the world." Do you know what "erroneous" means? I don't think anyone who knows what that word means would use it to describe a guest who was brought on to speak with some authority about a topic. So the first seven minutes are only not wasted in the sense that I know I can pretty much ignore everything Phil has to say for the remaining 52 minutes of the runtime.

Eleven minutes was enough for me to get the sense that this is another entry in the very long and ever growing list of poorly produced podcasts wherein some people talk into a microphone with a lot of enthusiasm about things in their shared past that they find funny. And perhaps other people who were at those events may also find them funny, but they are firmly in the camp of "you had to be there" humour.

If you just like the sound of your own voice, feel free to keep doing what you're doing until you get bored of it in a few months and let the domain lapse whenever the subscription runs out.

If you want to get better, you have a lot of ground to cover. First you should delete the "Hello World!" post automatically generated with every new Word Press install to at least make it look like you have a smattering of technical competence. Second, you'll want to back up that assertion by editing. Start with the basic stuff: cut the seven seconds of silence at the end and the noisy beginnings. Look to start editing for content (you desperately need to edit for content) once you are familiar with manipulating audio files.

You wouldn't need to edit for content as much as you do now if you stick to an outline. Consider scripting an open so you don't wander off the path about irrelevant nonsense like microphone ownership. Much like any paper you ever wrote in school, you have to state the reason you are doing that episode and podcast. As an example, go listen to the first minute of the first episode of Serial season one. Once you get past the ads, the host tells you what it is (Serial podcast), who she is (Sarah Koening), what Serial is (one story told week by week), and what her topic is (one hour on one day of a high school kids life). That gives the listener everything needed to start hearing the story. You get three of the four in episode two, and the only time you ever say the reason behind the podcast in the first minute is in the first episode. But you don't name the podcast in the first minute of the first podcast.

So focus on those things for now: easy technical edits and the who/what/why points that sets the scene instead of the scattered cold openings you have. Don't mention the when and where will only be important if you are ever somewhere else.

Those things will only make you more competent, you then have to work on storytelling. That is significantly harder, though perhaps your background in stand up can assist. If you are any good at it (you say aspiring so you may well not have mastered this skill) then you should be able to see how so much of episode four is like a joke told out of order. Set the scene for Model UN, don't fill in after the punch line. Jokes aren't funny if they have to be explained, and everything that you both found funny in those first few minutes needed to be explained. That fixes the problem of the "you had to be there"-ness of the jokes because with a proper setup, the listener is there.


tl;dr: your technical skills are poo poo and your storytelling is worse.

It's not the worst equipment/environment setup I can imagine. I'd say record a test episode to see if it's acceptable to you. I'd personally shy away from trying to record in even a moderately crowded environment like a pub, if for no other reason than the background noise will be distracting as hell.

If what you want to do is trim clips and stick them together, iMovie and Windows Movie Maker are just fine. I have Adobe Premiere, but I'm probably only a little more savvy than you and it's hard as hell to use. And my videos don't come out looking any better. Honestly the main reason I use Premiere is just because I like knowing how things work. iMovie gets the job done a lot easier and with a lot less frustration.

My podcasting partner and I taste and compare beers every episode with a focus (but not exclusively so) on Chicagoland microbreweries. Each episode will compare similar beers of a specific type (Wheat Ales, Pilsners, etc) with a different type every episode.

Most Recent Episode
Episode 1 - Chicago Face Off (YouTube | Audio)

Next Episode
At the end of February, we'll be comparing two Pilsners.

Being as I've finally found the courage to post this in other podcast threads. This is my weird little creation where I get way into reading fanfiction based around professional wrestling.

Genres: Sports/Humor/Story-telling

about : Wrestlerotica is a weekly not safe for work wrestling podcast/audio drama in which erotica is joined with wrestling usually through the reading of fanfiction stories.

Latest episode: Episode 47. In this episode we celebrate our one year anniversary with the return of our favorite character - The MizDad. This week's story is a Wrestlerotica original entitled "MizDad Goes To Yoga." In this story, The Miz's father finally starts on his New Year's Resolution, to get in better shape. He first begins by working out in his gym/garage before his daughter-in-law suggests that he gives yoga a try. He then ventures to Australian Yoga - where fun times occur even though he struggles with the class. Story stars The MizDad, Emma, Eva Marie, Maryse, Billie Kay, Mandy Rose, and Peyton Royce.

How many 'listeners' do you guys end up with after a while? (i.e. how many times is each episode being downloaded?)

Out Star Wars live-play RPG podcast gets about 80-100 unique downloads per episode, and I'm just trying to figure out if that is anything good. (I think it's kinda cool that so many people want to hear us tell a Star Wars story, but I have nothing to compare it to.
