Notes
Podcasting Advice from the "Hearing is Believing" panel
- Do something that can't be done on stage, live.
- Interview
- Unique sound design
- We don't have to repeat facts often because we can assume that the audience has been listening since the beginning.
- Imagine riding shotgun with someone, explaining something to them.
- How much of a cue does the listener need to know who is speaking?
- Can stop and talk about how the recording went.
- Imagine who you are speaking to, who your ideal audience is.
- Good podcasts do:
- Gets to the point. Don't just be a couple of white guys shooting the breeze.
- People are giving you their attention. Honor that.
- The story should connect to me, resonate.
- Something we haven't heard before.
- Know what they are
- Good microphone, recording environment
- People should be comfortable with each other
- Freesound.org has sound effects we can use.
- Drink lots of water!
