How to Start a Podcast featuring Paul Jarvis

Listen Later

Producing a quality podcast doesn't need much of a time or money investment. With that in mind, Paul’s article on creating a podcast for people who don’t want their lives taken over by podcasting is here.

I used Pat Flynn’s complete step-by-step podcasting tutorial (here) when I started this podcast.

Quick notes on best practices for podcasts (mostly via x):

  • People have 18-minute attention spans.
  • 22 minutes is the ideal length for a podcast episode.
  • Most podcast episodes are uploaded earlier in the week; Tuesday is the ideal day.
  • Weekly is the ideal frequency

    • For Mac users:

    • Call Recorder for Skype($15 to $30)
    • Edit with GarageBand ($0)

      • For PC users:

      • Record calls with Pamela($0) or MP3 Skype Recorder ($0) (Bryce uses the latter)
      • Edit with Audacity ($0)

        • That's it! A good mic, a few free (or cheap) programs and you're all set! Throw a blanket over your recording station if you're feeling reeeally opulent.
