Podtastic Audio

Thank You so much for listening this week. I hope I can give you some advice on how to create the best sounding show you can make. Today as it's Cinco de Mayo as I record this. It's typically a day for drinking. So there are a lot of different podcast shows, and some are drinking shows. I would not recommend drinking while you podcast and I explain why. If your dealing with recorded audio, nobody sounds good drunk. 

Late I'm joined by Linden Cole, via Cleanfeed. No I didn't take a trip to London, and Linden didn't take a trip to San Diego. But we make the audio so good, that it sounds like we are in the same room. Linden is an author and host of the podcast The Icarus Complex Podcast. It's a bunch of short stories that Linden has written and narrated for an audio book. But put into a podcast form. He puts a lot of work into each episode even down to the year of the background music to set each scene.  https://linktr.ee/Icaruscomplexpodcast

Today we talk about Podcast Interviews and who gets to benefit from them. I can remember my first podcast interview we did on the Kris and Kristine Show. It was episode 23. https://soundcloud.com/krisandkristineshow/episode-23-dating-disney?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

We had booked this author months in advance. She was selling a book about relationships and dating. We were talking about those topics on our show, so it was a perfect fit. We did so much research about the guest, way more than we do today. And we were a bit over prepared, but it was our first interview. So then who actually benefited from the interview... the guest or us as hosts? The answer is actually, both. We both benefit in our own ways. We got a guest to for good content, she got a new audience to promote to.

Happy Easter weekend. I've been on vacation all week long. And we've had a full house of kids as they are also off for spring break. During the week we had a guest interview scheduled and I didnt have access to our regular studio room. So I took my MacBook Pro and my Zoom Podtrak P4 up into our bedroom to record the interview that way. Using Cleanfeed like we've used hundreds of times in the past, the audio didn't sound right. After looking over the settings on Cleanfeed and the computer, I switched to the Full Repair mode and that seemed to fix the problem. But the true problem was that I had not switched the Zoom Podtrak P4 to the Mix Minus mode. A very simple mistake that I had overlooked because I had not used Cleanfeed with the Zoom P4 before. This was my first time using it. Live and Learn.

Happy Friday as I record this episode. I will be starting my vacation this week for spring break. This will be one of 4 weeks I'll be taking off this year for my vacations. 

Podcasting can be a lot of fun. Although it does take a lot of hard work and effort to create a podcast. We all would like to make some money with our show. It would be fantastic if we could quit our day jobs and just focus on creating podcasts for a living. Only a few shows actually are at that level, and chances are you are not one of them. Don't worry, there are a few ways to make money with your show. You can sell something on your show. Or you can use podcast advertising. Which I feel is not the best way to make money with your podcast.  If you find a sponsor for your podcast to run an add spot. They want to know your downloads. The term CPM is based on cost for every 1000 downloads or plays. The average rate is $15-20. So if your lucky enough to get 1000 plays on a single episode in a 30 day span you make $20 tops. Wow $20. If you're worried about that $20, you have bigger problems than your podcast.

Thank you so much for listening I really appreciate it. If you would like to be a guest here on Podtastic Audio you can always shoot me a message on social media or email. I would love to have you on the show. Or if you would want to have me on your show as a guest, that will work too.

Thank you so much for listening today, I really appreciate it. On this Episode I tell you about a new contest hosted by Podbean.  Podbean is excited to announce their “Start Advertising On Podcasts” contest for 2022! Grand Prize is $2000! I entered and I play my sample of the ad that I created for the contest. Wish me luck!

Then I share another story of how a popular podcast is asking for 5 star review swaps. I don't usually do review swaps anyhow because I feel it reads false. Its like cheating, and I do not tolerate cheaters. You would much rather have honest feedback from your podcast. Not a bunch of fake 5 star reviews. Which for the record do nobody any good. If you have a bad show, you would want to know about it so you can improve. Take the honest feedback as a blessing not a curse.

Power of Audio

Best sound from the guests. On K2 show we have had a variety of guests on the show. Each of them sound really good compared to other interview shows. How is that possible?

We own 2 air jets that we send out all over the world to pick up the guests. We bring them all to the studio In person. How else do you think we get great audio from everyone and it sounds like we are all in the same room.

No we don’t but the audio is that good that it’s possible you could believe that. The power of audio only. If we had a zoom video or someone like that it would remove the illusion. Theater of the mind.

We use Cleanfeed for all of our guests! https://cleanfeed.net/

Many new podcasters have a problem with creating decent audio for their podcast. One easy ways to fix a problem before it gets worse is to Monitor your own microphone live in real time. I know not all setups can work with live monitoring with 0 latency. But if yours does, I would highly recommend that you listen back to your microphone live in real time. The reason is that you can catch any audio issues live as they happen so you can make adjustments at that point. Not at the very end and you heard that your microphone had a bad echo or something. Get the cleanest audio you can at the time of recording. This will save you time on editing in the end. 

Today I'm joined by Christian Eulinberg from the podcast Film Optix. Along with his cohosts they like to discuss movies and TV shows. He has been podcasting for about 3 years and has had some trail and error like most of us have had. We talk about how to record, best software, and what seems to work out the best for your own podcast.

Happy Friday as I record this. Thanks for letting me help out your podcast. Podcasting can be very frustrating especially when you have equipment problems. Whether its a guest with bad audio, or your microphone stops working. Problems can happen. But we have to learn our gear inside and out. Your hardware and software that you use to podcast. Practice with it before you go live, with the show or a VIP guest. What do you do if you have a guest on with bad audio.. do you post it or not? Its your show, so you can decide what to do with the episode. Always remember who this show is for... the audience. 

If you have any podcasting questions feel free to email me at podtasticaudio@gmail.com

Welcome to Episode 50! As it its the the 50th, I thought I'd share my reason why I started this podcast. My "why" is because I wanted to help out new podcasters figure out how to make decent audio with basic gear and equipment. We all have our reason for podcasting. Your audience has their reason for listening to you show. Everything starts with your Why. "Why do we podcast?"

Then I'm joined by Beta Reader & Author Tiffany Christina Lewis. Tiffany has been writing since her adolescence and was honored to have work published for the first time in 2011. Since then her work has been featured in many books and online publications. From fiction to non-fiction, murder to relationships, Tiffany’s range as a writer is expansive. Crazy about killing, Tiffany’s favorite genre to write is Crime Fiction.

With three books to her credit, Tiffany writes for readers. “It is my job to satisfy readers. Everything they say about my work is invaluable. I use it to make myself and my writing better.”

“My style is a little Patterson and a little King. I love short chapters and grossing people out but the Detectives win at the end of the day. There is lots of gore when I can and I try my damndest to give those vivid details that make you grimace!”

How do you open your podcast episode? Everyone does it slightly different. For the Kris and Kristine Show, I had figured out how to edit audio in Audacity as in rearranging it around. That gave me an idea about how I should start the podcast episodes. As I was watching a lot of YouTube videos about my current sports car I had just purchased. On their videos they would start them with a teaser clip of something cool that happened with that video to get you hooked. So a quick teaser clip to launch the video you're about the watch. If that works for YouTube, why not bring that concept to podcasting. So on episode 1, I tried that idea. I found a short quick clip of something interesting we said on the show to put a clip of that on the very beginning of the episode to launch the listener into the episode. If you decide to make teaser clips for the start of the episode, make sure they aren't longer than maybe 10 seconds. You just need a to teaser the listener to hook them into finishing the rest of the episode. You create a loop and hook them in to finish said loop. 

Then I was joined by Jackie and Danielle of the podcast No More Late Fees. It's a movie review podcast told from two ex employees of Blockbuster Video rentals. We talked about how they met and were they grew up. To the time they worked at Blockbuster. And since they are movie fans, I play my guess the movie clip game. Feel free to play along at home and see how you do too. Fun fact: All 3 of us in this interview were in 3 different states here in America. California - Texas - Florida.

Thanks for listening this week. I'm always here to help out a podcaster who would like to create a better show. Recently in the news Joe Rogan was accused of saying misinformation on his very popular podcast. It didn't go over well with some people and now there is an uproar to get him removed from Spotify. Joe signed a $100M contract to be exclusive on the Spotify app. He put his eggs into one basket a-lot like some other shows will do via YouTube. But if he stayed traditional RSS feed he wouldn't have this problem.

Are you doing an interview show with random people? Who is the show for? Just because you have a podcast, doesn't mean you need to do interviews. Yes they are fun but they increase your network, not your expertise. What does your listener get from an interview only show? I was curious about that this week. The shows that only have random guests on... it must be hard as a listener no knowing what each show is going to be about. Podcasting roulette.

Thanks for listening this week. The bad weather over the last week or so has really hit most of the country. I found a clip of an actual news anchor that was sent to the side of the road to report. As most of us would, he was not having it. Have a listen to his on air meltdown. Then I wanted to share a tip about your Internet Upload speeds verses the download. If you need to do any kind of video calls, or podcast interviews over the web, then you really need good Upload speeds. Check your internet speeds by doing a google search. Your upload speed shouldn't be anything less than 10MB to have a trouble free recording. When you have upload speeds slower than that, you will have audio and video glitches.

Today I'm joined by Sebastian Schug.  An independent multimedia artist currently residing in suburban Burbank, California. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies and Political Science, and currently spends his time narrating miscellaneous stories (semi-professionally!) Sebastian "Schugzy" Schug is an independent writer, illustrator, and bedroom literary/music publisher currently residing in suburban Burbank, California. Secondary to literary publishing, alternative, R&B, and lo-fi are a primary focus within his music production.

Alongside music production, audiobooks, podcasts, and a plethora of other audio projects assist in paving Sebastian Schug’s verbal showcasings, and can be found on most first, second, and third party distribution networks alongside their literary counterparts.

I'm back after being out sick with COVID. I tested positive for the virus last week. So I took off 5 days to just rest and relax. I was feeling ok for most of the time I was out. Felt like a bad head cold, not much worse than that. 

Today I was thinking about how your podcast content isn't the only reason your podcast is successful. New listeners will click play on your podcast based on your content. The title of the episode, the niche of the topic, or the movie your discussing. Thats great for that one episode or series. But what about the rest of your show? You need to have your audience returning and coming back to your show for each future episode you release. Now more than just content, you need to deliver it in a way that makes it very entertaining. That is decent production value will come into place. The sound quality does matter. A listener will turn off a podcast if it sounds bad. They just will, no matter how rich the content is. They defiantly wont return for the next episode. 

Content is how you get them to click play and entertainment is how you get them to stay. Create amazing content that you can deliver in a way thats truly original. Thanks so much for listening today, I really appreciate it. If you have any questions about podcasting, or would like me to be a guest on your show, shoot me a line.   podtasticaudio@gmail.com

Today it was brought to my attention that there is a website that has a copy of Levelator for Windows PC still available to download. As I mentioned in my last episode that I couldn't find a copy from the original website. Said site was no longer available. If you want a copy of The Levelator for Windows PC, then click on the link and grab the latest version to download.  

https://www.videohelp.com/software/The-Levelator

The Levelator is a software that runs on Windows and OS X that adjusts the audio levels within your podcast or other audio file for variations from one speaker to the next, for example. It's not a compressor, normalizer or limiter although it contains all three. It's much more than those tools, and it's much simpler to use. The UI is dirt-simple: Drag-and-drop any WAV or AIFF file onto The Leveler's application window, and a few moments later you'll find a new version which just sounds better. 

Then I had the "Vern" from Cinema Recall Podcast come on to discuss his podcasting background, some editing, and of course movies. Please play along with guessing the movie clips. https://www.cinemarecall.net/ https://anchor.fm/cinemarecall 

http://www.krisandkristineshow.com

Podtasticaudio@gmail.com

I love using the audio tool Levelator. As it turns out its not available to download on Windows PC. As I did some research the source where the download was originally was invalid. So what is a good alternative. I found Auphonic. https://auphonic.com/ They do charge you to use it, but it does a better job than Levelator did. You can use it for free, at 2 hours a month. I signed up for the free plan to try it and I'll play 2 samples on this episode. The first sample was Levelator, second clip on Auphonic.

Welcome to the last episode of the year! How do you create a quiet podcasting space when you have the whole family home during the holidays? I put a poll out on Twitter asking that question. On this episode I read off your responses. https://twitter.com/PodtasticA

Then I'm joined by Erik Woods from Cinematic Sound Radio Podcast. https://www.cinematicsound.net/

Erik Woods is the founder and executive producer of the film, TV and video game music radio show/podcast CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO. The show, which began in 1996, is heard exclusively online and on-demand after spending its first ten years on terrestrial radio at C101.5 FM in Hamilton, Ontario.

Happy Holidays as its Christmas Week as this episode comes out. As a lot of podcasts start I wanted to know what causes a show to fail. People will podfade their shows.  I came across an article that breaks down the top 10 reasons why podcasts fail. Hopefully your show is still doing strong and the longer you last, the higher up the charts you will be in the long run.

Then I had Abigail from The Manic Pixie Weirdo Podcast stop on by for a chat. We talk about podcasting, voice acting, and her idea's about creating another podcast.

I ran a poll on Twitter asking if you use Video as part of your Podcast. The results show that 70% do not. Video isn't easy, especially if you want to do it correctly. Then later I'm joined by Jim Collison from Gallup, Ask the Podcast Coach, and Home Gadget Geeks podcasts. We talk about his shows, what he's learned from his long run in podcasting. And the future of podcasting.

This week I share the details about my podcasting gear set. The audio interface that I have been using is the Behringer U-PHORIA UMC404HD. Later I'm joined by the hosts of Elevator Talks & Random Thoughts podcast.  If you're putting together a home studio, the Behringer U-Phoria UMC404 USB 2.0 audio interface is worth a look. With 4 inputs and 4 outputs, the U-Phoria UMC404 is an excellent choice if you're a self-recording musician with a minimum of outboard gear. Add four remarkably pure, world-class MIDAS-designed mic pres and studio-grade 24-bit/192kHz converters to the mix, and you've got yourself a complete studio-in-a-box - right on your desktop. Make no mistake, the Behringer U-Phoria UMC404HD USB 2.0 audio interface is packed with value!  Buy on Sweetwater Jillian and Michaela from the podcast Elevator Talks & Random Thoughts. We talked about movies, Netflix shows, and how their podcasting journey has been.  It was a really fun interview and we all had a great time. Thanks once again for stopping by.  The Kris and Kristine Show Podtastic Audio podtasticaudio@gmail.com

My very last vacation for the year 2021. Back to work Monday and beyond. I had a problem with my new MacBook Pro computer. I somehow got myself locked out. My password was no longer letting me log in. I had tried it so many times that the security features had locked out my account. I called Apple Care to see what they could do. They said the only way to get your computer to work again is to erase the hard drive and reinstall the operating software and start over like a new MacBook Pro. So that is what I had to do. I lost everything I had on it for the last month I had it. 

Earlier in the week I was a special guest on my kids podcast The Jem Boys Show https://www.podpage.com/jem-boys-show/ I had made a podcasting mistake my not doing a proper microphone check. My microphone was on and plugged in, but with the new set up it wasn't being recorded. We found out after I had uploaded the episode and played it back later. Always make sure the microphones you want to use are being recorded correctly.  

The Kris and Kristine Show http://www.krisandkristineshow.com

podtasticaudio@gmail.com

Today I share my audio mistake I made while being a guest on another podcast. Double check, and have a checklist for each recording. No matter how many episodes you've recorded. Especially when you use a platform your not familiar with. I screwed up the audio, pretty badly. I explain on this episode. 

Then I'm joined by the lovely ladies from the Dead to the World Podcast. https://deadtotheworldpodcast.com/  Whether it is sleep disorders or profound dreams; something is happening while we are Dead to the World. Join mother and daughters Dawn Howell, Lexi Guerra, and Tash Neilsen as they dive deep into all sleep related phenomena!

This week I talk about each of the microphones I've used in my podcasting journey. We started podcasting in the summer of 2019 with basic microphones. Since then we've upgraded them a few different times. I'll explain which ones and why.

Then I found an article on podcast stats. What percentile does your podcast fall into based on your weekly downloads. You shouldn't measure the success of your podcast based solely on download stats alone. Audience engagement is good indication that you have a successful podcast. 

Correction: I said AIB certified, its IAB certified stats. IAB stands for “Interactive Advertising Bureau”

I'm back from Vacation, just landed yesterday. So excited to be back podcasting, I explain how to get decent audio from your microphones. Especially if you have multiple people recording in the same room at the same time.

Today I got an Amazon delivery of 2 new microphones. The RODE PODMIC which retails for about $99 most places I've seen it. Its supposed to give a radio broadcast sound to your voice. So lets give it a test drive and see.

Then I'm joined by York Campbell from the Poetic Earthlings podcast. His show is done in the narrative style, with sound effects and clips throughout each episode. We talked about podcasting and how we both enjoy doing it.  https://poeticearthlings.com/

This is a promo trailer for Podtastic Audio. 

After running multiple interviews and shows on my old PC, it ate up the audio on our last interview we did. We record all our interviews via Cleanfeed and this was not their fault. Our computer has been running extremely hot and glitchy. We've ran into this problem before where the audio sounds good as you record it, but the track would have corrupted sound. And that is what happened to us. Our last interview, on the last half of it, our side of the audio went bad. In this episode I tell you how I was able to fix the interview and fix the computer.

This is my 20th Episode here on Podtastic Audio. A small milestone in this podcasting journey. This episode I'm joined by both cofounders of Cleanfeed, Marc Bakos and Mark Hills. They joined me from London UK,  have a passion for high quality audio,  and a extensive background in audio production. Enjoy this episode as I get to talk to the very guys that have created the one podcasting tool I rave about the most.

This week I talk about review swaps and how they are completely dishonest. Recently I've had a few different podcasters reach out and ask if I would do a review swap on Apple Podcasts. Without even asking if I would be interested in their type of show. Review swaps are a bad idea because its totally fake. Reviews do not increase you in the Apple charts, they only make you feel good. Wouldn't you rather feel better knowing you got an actual honest review instead of a fake one?

This episode I find out that Twitter has rolled out its Twitter Spaces to the public to use. I think its a fantastic place to try podcasting on a micro level. If you have a Twitter account, you should give it a try. Then later I'm joined by Juleen Moreno of the It Goes Down in the PM podcast. We talk all about her podcast and her marketing company. https://www.momisalwayswrite.com/ 

And to sprinkle in a little fun we play the movie trivia game! Play at home and see how you do:-)

This episode I share how we on The Kris and Kristine Show use our social media to help grow our podcast. Social media can be a very useful tool to share your show and meet other podcasts in your genre. Podcasting is about 20% creating the actual show, and 80% promoting it. Show promotion can be done a variety of ways. But no matter what, be consistent. That is how you will grow. So keep on making fantastic podcasts and I cant wait to hear them!

This week I'm joined by the hosts of SpyHards Podcast, Scott & Cam https://www.spyhards.com/

Agent Scott Hardy

Whilst little is known about this relatively new agent, what is for certain is that he relies more on luck than skill. Hailing from London, England, Scott is mostly likely to be found at the local pub drinking an appletini and trying to convince people that George Lazenby is underrated. Before his most recent assignment to the SpyHards podcast he taught Baccarat-flirting and last-minute-bomb-defusing at the British Intelligence Academy. We are reliably informed he fancies himself as a bit of a ladies man. The ladies disagree.

Aliases: @tiberiushardy on Twitter & Instagram

Agent Cam Smith

A near life-long 007 fanatic, whose life was irrevocably changed watching Roger Moore snowboard to a cheap Beach Boys cover, British Columbia native Cam Smith loves nothing more than watching classic cinema and then manufacturing excuses to talk or write about it. While his career as an importer-exporter of rare antiquities can be action-packed, in addition to SpyHards he also finds time to co-host the long running Star Trek podcast Subspace Transmissions, as well as the Schwarzenegger film discussion show Arniegeddon. Also, Cam once tried tap-dancing in Rosa Klebb knife-shoes. It didn’t end well.

Welcome to lucky Episode 13! Here I explain why doing a "live" show may not be the best thing for your podcast. Later I'm joined by 2 podcasters that used to both be on the same show together. Money Chris from the Too Many Captains Podcast and Derek Duvall from The Derek Duvall Show. We discussed podcasting, movies, and future podcast plans. You can find them at https://www.amoviepodcast.com/ and www.derekduvallshow.com

Thanks for joining me this week. Promote your podcast everywhere, including social media. A-B-P, always be posting. Social Media is like a free place to advertise you show. Using hashtags like #podcast #podcasting #podcastshow and others. The more times you promote the more times you have the potential to reach new listeners, while keeping the ones you have. 

If you have any doubts on Cleanfeed https://cleanfeed.net/ I have an interview that spans over 6000 miles and 17 hour time zones today. With my guest Dustin from Sandman Stories Presents Podcast. https://anchor.fm/sandman-stories. Tired but can't fall asleep? Here I do my best to find interesting stories from the public domain and read them to you until you fall asleep. The stories are mostly folktales from around the world. Best listened to during work, during commutes, when you are trying to fall asleep, or any time that you need a calm friend to read to you. Enjoy!

His podcast is stories to make you fall asleep to. A podcaster that wants you to fall asleep listening to his show.

This week a do a brief example of the Zoom Podtrak P4. https://zoomcorp.com/en/us/podtrak-recorders/podcast-recorders/podtrak-p4/  I use it for the first time in the episode. Then I'm joined by the hosts of The Dads and Lads podcast (Stuart and his son Shaun) https://audioboom.com/channels/5034887

A weekly podcast of a proud northern father and son team. A proud Mancunian dad Stuart and his son Shaun who has learning difficulties.
What are they going to talk about.... well everything and anything. With the humor of Stuart and the charm of Shaun what's not to love?

On this 9th Episode of Podtastic Audio we break down multitrack recording. If you have more than one person on your podcast, or if you have guests that come one, this episode is for you. I describe the 9 steps that I use to make a good sounding podcast with multiple cohosts and or guests at the same time. This process is what I use on The Kris and Kristine Show (www.krisandkristineshow.com).

Today I take a dive into micro-podcasting. Which are short podcast episodes that are usually 10 minutes or less in length. I am joined by Wifey, the host of Chicken Mind Nuggets Podcast https://www.chickenmindnuggets.com/. The bi-weekly micro-podcast combining mindfulness, transformation, and science as food for thought throughout your day. This podcast started as an idea to share some of the concepts that she loves to talk about in hopes that you can take away some mind nuggets for your mental repertoire. Each episode is designed to be under 10 minutes, so you can listen to them and digest them throughout your day.
