Welcome to part two of our Dear Abby-ish podcast questions! 

We took questions from coaches and online service providers who are either already a podcaster themselves or are very interested in becoming a podcaster to market their online business.

All of us need guidance along this pod making journey, and Carin and Kacey (the duo behind PodMakers) are all about transparency and sharing whatever we know that can help you progress as you show up to the mic to give value to your listeners on the regular. 

The first episode covered topics like:

Licensing for intro/outro music

Copyrighting your podcast name

Consistency in podcast recording: what it really means and what we make it mean

When you should DIY your editing/producing vs hire a professional, like Carin

How to gauge a podcast’s “success” - is it metrics or something deeper?

The internal emotional and mindset work we all face in order to show up and share our voice

If you haven’t heard the first half of this two-parter yet, go ahead and give that one a listen so you’re on track for what we build on in this episode.

On to answering the rest of your burning podcast questions! 

In addition to serving as a great case study for showing up in your imperfection (Carin fighting a cold, Kacey’s internet dropped out mid-recording, but we make it WORK - listen and you’ll know what we mean), we’re also diving into topics like: 

Why many pod makers (us included) are tempted to filter ourselves on the mic and how to get past that urge [2:17]

Favorite software for recording and editing podcasts [15:29]

How to create those cute sound clips for social media - but like, should you? [18:31]

When it’s worth it to clean up old episodes vs when it makes sense to move forward [21:59]

Allllll things tech like headphones, mics, boom arms, shock mounts, and more [30:53]
