2018/11/25

Starting a podcast can be daunting. Especially when the only thing you've pressed record on is your VCR (hello to anyone who remembers what they are).

Doing anything new is daunting so in this episode I take you through a few of the most common reasons people don't start a podcast. And I tell you why they shouldn't be

What is Anchor?

PodSchool ·

2018/11/19

Most podcast hosts are just that...podcast hosts. They’re a place to upload your MP3’s, look at your stats and fill in your show details but apart from that, there aren't many bells and whistles. Anchor is different because it’s designed to be a podcast host but also a place to edit and create your show. Inside Anchor, you can drag and drop audio elements directly into your episode and if you've never worked with audio before this can make piecing together an episode way less daunting. But is it

2018/11/04

A podcast trailer can help you drum up interest in your show before you've dropped an episode because it gives potential listeners a taste of what they can expect.

Should you tell people to 'subscribe' to your podcast?

PodSchool ·

2018/10/29

Getting more podcast listeners is important if you want your show to last but you also want those listeners to subscribe. This is because the more subscribers you have the more chance you've got of ranking in podcast charts. It also makes it much easier for people to listen because they'll get a new episode delivered straight to their podcast app. So how do you get more podcast listeners and in turn subscribers? The best way is often to avoid using the word 'subscribe' and in this episode I

How to write great episode titles

PodSchool ·

2018/10/21

You should think about your podcast episode title like the headline of an article. It's the thing that makes people click, so you need to pack as much information as possible into a small number of words. But you also want to be truthful. The rules of click-baiting apply here just as they do on blogs and websites...don't do it, unless you want to suffer the consequences. If you want listeners to keep returning to your show, week after week, you have to build a relationship with them. And just like

How to write great podcast descriptions

PodSchool ·

2018/10/14

After your podcast name and logo, the next thing potential listeners look at is your podcast description. So you've got to make it good.

That means you've got more real estate to tell listeners exactly what they can expect from your show. So how do you write a podcast description that makes people think "OMG! This show is exactly what I'm looking for!"? Check out the full episode

How to come up with a great podcast name

PodSchool ·

2018/10/08

I know we're all told not to judge a book by its cover but the truth is, we do. When people find your show in their podcast directory it's often the combination of your podcast name and podcast logo that will entice them to give it a try. You haven't got a lot of words to make an impact so this isn't an easy task. But ideally, you want to give your podcast a name that's going to stop people scrolling by. So how do you pick something that makes them want to listen? Check out the full episode show

PodSchool ·

2018/09/03

Podfade is the inevitable consequence of jumping into a podcast you're not prepared for. And it happens when a show stops releasing episodes and fades into podcasting obscurity. This is usually because the creator loses interest, realises their idea doesn't have legs or because they seriously underestimated the workload.

How to cover up recording in different locations

PodSchool ·

2018/08/19

Covering up recording in different locations is possible but it depends on how different the locations are. If one recording was done in a library and the other at a Monster Truck rally it'll probably be impossible to make those sound like they were in the same place. But if you want to make it sound like you did everything in one sitting the key is to record some ambient sound. In this episode I explain how to make recording in multiple locations sound like it was done in one sitting. Check out
