Today I'm talking about Compression! It's one of the things that is talked about a lot in podcasting as a necessary step, but do you know what its actually doing?

This is Part 1 of my coffee chat with you about what compression is, what it's for and the best way to visualise it (as much as we can in an audio medium, of course!).

Here's AudioHaze's Compression video I mentioned in the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVElie-aImk&t=336s&ab_channel=AudioHaze.

"My microphone sounds really echoey... how do I remove that echo?"

This is one of the most common questions in podcasting forums, and there will most often be two answers:

1. Buy a Dynamic Microphone
2. Treat your Room

The latter is what I'll address in this episode, as I've got experience spending hundreds of dollars treatment, and then as little as possible due to housing constraints. Listen in for my advice.

Mentioned in the Episode:

Booth Junkie YouTube Channel (a BRILLIANT resource!): https://www.youtube.com/@BoothJunkie/videos

Sometimes when someone tells you about a thing that you never realised existed, all of a sudden you'll see it everywhere (particularly when driving!).

This episode is a question for you as a podcaster or podcast listener: do you call the subsequent released audio recordings on podcast feeds as...

❓"Episodes", or

❓"Podcasts?

I have often heard them interchangeably and I often wonder which one is correct... as much as there are no right answers in podcasting, have a listen and check my working. Then tell me what your opinion is!

I am going to challenge you in this episode. You might be using AI or systems to automate tasks in your workflow, and preserving your time is important to make room for creativity and content.

But is your automating of that task killing a potential connection with your listener?

In this episode, I pitch the idea that when there is no intentional input from us as podcasters in our generated assets, we no longer care about connecting with our audience and it is tantamount to low-effort self promotion.

And before you react... take a second to think about it, formulate your response and let me know via the Speakpipe link below.

Transcription is a word podcasters are familiar with these days, either through AI or online podcast editing tools. We often don't think about the true value in these text-based versions of our podcasts though!

In this coffee convo, we have a talk about Accessibility being the primary purpose for transcription and opening up your audience potential, followed by the value of having a written version of your show even without the extra stuff created from it.

REFLECTION: Do you create a transcription for your show? And why/why not?

Welcome to the very first coffee chat with me, Matthew Bliss! Coffee with a Podcaster is a podcasting project I've had in mind for a while, so I thought I'd share a few principles I've made for myself about keeping it sustainable, innovative and interesting.

In this episode, we're having a chat about how I'll be avoiding Podfade and the expectations I'm setting for myself to ensure the podcast can continue. These key principles are a sampling of my approach, and hopefully will help you too.
