I’m a podcast consultant, podcast editor, and I love talking about ways to make your message mobile with a podcast.

4 types of noise in your podcast – #114

Noise interferes with communication.

And because podcasting is an act of communication, noise is a problem for podcasters.

But sometimes noise can’t be fixed with anything technical. It’s a different kind of problem that needs a different kind of solution.

On the technical side of podcasting there are two important parts:

Technology and technique.

Technology and technique are not equal in importance.

And that’s why there is Rule 6 in podcasting.

This rule is about editing.

Do you need to edit your podcast? Can you get by without it?

I used to think the answer was “it depends.” That is, it depends on the kind of show you make, your audience, and your goals.

But I’ve changed my mind. Listen to Rule 5 and discover how it will affect your podcast production.

Can your church encourage greater participation and engagement with a podcast ministry?

Can you teach your teachers how to teach better with a podcast ministry?

Can you provide ministry training with a podcast ministry?

Hint: Yes! (All that and more!)

Many colleges teach radio production courses, but not all teach about podcasts.

I believe the best way to prepare broadcast students for the future is by emphasizing how to produce podcasts.

Failing to do so is a disservice to students.

Which microphone should I use? Do I need a mixer? How do I plug two mics into my computer? How do I talk to someone in another part of the world?

Don’t buy ANY equipment until you hear Rule 4 in podcasting.
