Music Beds for your Podcast. Today I'll play samples of music beds that I created and I'll tell you how to make your own for free. So what is a podcast music bed and do you need one? 

A podcast music bed is a continuous piece of music that plays softly in the background while the host or guest speaks. It adds depth and ambiance to the podcast, creating a more engaging and immersive experience for the listener.

To use a podcast music bed, it's important to first consider the tone and mood you want to convey in your episode. The music should match the theme and content of your podcast, and complement the tone of your voice. It should also be played at a low volume, so as not to distract from the main content of the episode.

When selecting a music bed, you can either choose a pre-made track or create an original piece. There are many royalty-free music libraries online that offer a wide range of genres and styles. Alternatively, you can hire a composer or musician to create a custom track that fits your specific needs.

It's important to note that the music bed should not overpower the main content of your podcast. It should simply enhance the listening experience and add a layer of professionalism to your production.

Overall, a podcast music bed can be a powerful tool in elevating the quality of your podcast. By selecting the right music and using it effectively, you can create a memorable and engaging listening experience for your audience.

This is Episode 99! Wow I've almost made it to officially creating 100 amazing podcast episodes about helping you create an amazing podcast of your own. Today we are going to have a little fun. This entire episode was recorded live in one take. To illustrate the similarities to podcast guesting remotely to locally. I have two different clips from two different podcast interviews that we did on The Kris and Kristine Show. You have to decide which of them was recorded locally, and which was done remotely with Cleanfeed. 

There are several differences and benefits to having podcast guests remotely or in person. Here are some of them: 

Remote guests:

Convenience: One of the biggest advantages of having remote guests is that it's much easier to schedule interviews with people who may live in different time zones or have busy schedules. You can conduct interviews from anywhere in the world, without having to worry about travel time or expenses.

Diversity: With remote guests, you have access to a much larger pool of potential guests, which can lead to a more diverse range of perspectives and experiences on your podcast.

Technology: With the right tools and equipment, remote interviews can sound just as good as in-person interviews. You can use platforms like Zoom, Skype, or Zencastr to record high-quality audio and video, which can be edited and polished in post-production. 

In-person guests:

Connection: When you're interviewing someone face-to-face, there's a level of personal connection that can be difficult to replicate remotely. You can read body language, make eye contact, and build rapport in a way that's not always possible over a screen.

Energy: In-person interviews often have a higher energy level than remote interviews, which can make for a more engaging and dynamic conversation.

Atmosphere: When you're recording in-person, you have control over the recording environment, which can help ensure good audio quality and reduce distractions.

Ultimately, whether you choose to have podcast guests remotely or in person depends on your specific needs and goals. Remote interviews can be convenient and offer a wider range of guests, while in-person interviews can provide a deeper connection and more dynamic energy.

Happy Podcasting! Deliver VALUE to your audience with every episode. 

Welcome to this week's episode of our podcast, where we dive into the topic of delivering valuable content to your audience and the power of sharing personal stories. As podcasters, it's important to understand what your listeners are looking for and how you can provide them with valuable content. Whether you're sharing your expertise on a particular topic, interviewing industry experts, or providing insights into a specific niche, the key is to offer something that your audience can't get anywhere else.

By being authentic and vulnerable, you can create a deeper level of engagement and trust with your listeners. They'll see you as more than just a voice on the other end of their headphones – they'll see you as a relatable human being with experiences and insights that they can learn from.

In today's episode, we're going to explore the importance of serving your audience with value and The reasons why you should start your own podcast. As podcasters, our primary goal should be to provide value to our audience. When we create content that our listeners find valuable, we're more likely to build a loyal following and establish ourselves as trusted experts in our field. So, how do we serve our audience with value? Let's take a closer look. First, it's important to understand your audience's needs and interests. By getting to know your listeners, you can create content that resonates with them and provides solutions to their problems. Second, you should strive to make your content both informative and entertaining. While your podcast may be focused on a particular niche or topic, that doesn't mean it has to be dry or boring. By infusing your personality and humor into your content, you can make it more engaging and enjoyable for your audience. Third, you should aim to provide actionable takeaways that your audience can apply to their lives or businesses. Whether it's tips and tricks for improving their skills or strategies for growing their businesses, giving your listeners practical advice that they can put into action is a great way to provide value.

Now, let's talk about the reasons why you should start your own podcast. First and foremost, podcasting allows you to connect with your audience in a more personal way. By creating audio content that your listeners can consume on-the-go, you can build a deeper relationship with them and establish yourself as a trusted authority in your niche. Second, podcasting can help you reach a wider audience and attract new customers or clients. By promoting your podcast on social media and other channels, you can expand your reach and attract new followers who are interested in your content. Finally, podcasting can be a great way to generate additional income. Through sponsorships, advertising, and other monetization strategies, you can turn your podcast into a profitable venture and earn money doing what you love.

In conclusion, serving your audience with value should be the top priority for any podcaster. By creating content that resonates with your listeners and provides practical solutions to their problems, you can build a loyal following and establish yourself as a trusted expert in your field. And if you haven't started your own podcast yet, now is the perfect time to get started and reap the many benefits that podcasting has to offer.

Happy Podcasting! Hopefully you have a show, or maybe you are thinking of launching a new podcast and you want it to sound amazing.

In this episode, we'll explore the benefits of hosting a solo podcast, and why it can be a great way to showcase your expertise and connect with your audience. 

Creative Control and Flexibility Hosting a solo podcast gives you complete creative control and flexibility over the content. You can fully express yourself and explore topics that interest you, without worrying about coordinating with a co-host. You can also record and edit at your own pace, and experiment with different formats and styles.

Personal Branding and Audience Connection Creating a solo podcast can be a powerful tool for building your personal brand and connecting with your audience. By sharing your knowledge and insights on a regular basis, you can establish yourself as an expert in your field. You can also connect with your audience on a more personal level, and build trust and credibility with them.

Hosting a solo podcast can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience, offering you complete creative control, flexibility, and the opportunity to showcase your expertise and connect with your audience on a deeper level.
