Better Podcasting

As a hobby podcaster, you probably don't have endless funds to help promote your show. You're in luck, because today we're going to run down a bunch of methods to help promote your show for free, and some experience that we've had using these.

Finally, we'll take listener feedback and Discord feedback - including a recent discussion that showcased possible issues with the Rodecaster Pro.

Sometimes you might find that your podcast's source material is no longer available. If this happens to you, there are several decisions that have to be made for the future in the show.

In this week's Better Podcasting Download, we discuss recent Patreon changes, and what it means for the hobby podcaster.

This week we're pleased to interview Craig Reeves from Mackie about their future which involves exploring creating a device for podcasting (and other content creation).  Other topics of discussion include Craig's history, how he got in to this line of business, and some technical information about some of the Mackie products that podcasters may be looking at.

Before we get there though, we start this episode with another How I Saved My Podcast story - this time it's about a media host.

Many industries have a code of ethics established for their industry, but Podcasting doesn't have anything formally established. In this episode we discuss some things that we've seen over the years (and some things that we've had conversations with other podcasters) that might be a consideration when discussing Podcasting Ethics. Our segment isn't intended to suggest podcasting ethics (that's well beyond our control), but just to highlight some of the things that we've seen happening in podcasting that we feel you should be aware of, and how it can impact you as a podcaster.

In this week's Better Podcasting Download, we follow-up to last week's discussion about Apple and title tags as Apple sent out two more emails after we recorded the previous email. To be clear - in Apple's 2nd and 3rd emails, they have changed their position and clearly stated "Your Show Won’t Be Removed for Having Episode Numbers in Episode Titles"(woo hoo!) We also discuss Stephen's interaction with the Rodecaster Pro 1.10 Firmware update and how it's not a multi-track recorder.

Finally, in the Better Podback we discuss our Discord channel's reaction to the Rodecaster Pro not delivering multi-track recording. Find full episode information including links referenced in this episode at http://www.betterpodcasting.com/171/

We've often spoken about how to podcast with co-hosts remotely, but what about the situations where you're going to record in the same room together? Things can actually be a lot different (and more complex in some ways) when you're recording multiple people in the same room together. In this episode we'll discuss some best practices and share some of our experiences when recording with other people in the same room.

In this week's Better Podcasting Download, we discuss the hot-off-the-presses email from Apple about the use of podcast Title Tags, and what their expectation is for these. This leads in to our take on Apple and its power within the industry. NOTE: This was recorded a few hours after Apple sent their first email and there were two emails sent after this recording. While it doesn't change our position on the majority of the discussion, it MAY SLIGHTLY change the course of action you take on your individual show.

Finally, in the Better Podback we discuss our Discord channel's reaction to the Apple news. Find full episode information including links referenced in this episode at http://www.betterpodcasting.com/170/
