Learning to Podcast: Week of March 2nd
foibles and lessons
here are some lessons i learned in my first week of setting up a podcast.
Notes, Formats, Struggling with Script Pacing
some meta work including setting up a template for each recorded section and insider baseball
the versions are ~clockwise. (with interspersed notes to myself post recording)
i started w super high level, wasn't dense enough and i flubbed a lot of words. i tried word for word, delivery was too boring/forced. i moved to bullets but detailed, but went too detailed, and they were hard to read. finally settled on bullets that aren't dense, but flow into each other so i'm never "winging it". hard balance to strike, still very wip
Philosophy
Riverside
recorded first test in riverside. meh, i think id rather use obs.
Scene Transitions
this solo podcast has three sections: lessons, commentary, and philosophy. im learning to use obs to switch between them
Microphone
i did a lot of research and was just planning on using airpods for now, but i buckled and picked up a shure mv7.
but here's me testing my mic on my iphone
Ghost Podcast
i want to replicate transistor private sub fn in ghost, and attach it to the current member ids. this comes after i record a few episodes and reach a level of quality that im comfortable splitting in half
ghost rss private podcast is ideally the way i want to go. following a sam harris making sense model where first half of ep is free, and second half is for paid subs
