Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays as this episode comes out. This Christmas I wish you and your family a wonderful Holiday Season. As the year comes to a close, we tend to look back on the year we've just had.  When it comes to "podcasting" itself, how successful has your show been over the last year? What is your own definition of success? Most of us say, "Having FUN" is the reason you podcast. Its probably the main reason that I podcast. If your not having any fun, then it doesn't really matter what comes next. And just because you spend a lot of money on gear for your show, doesn't equal a successful show. If you are looking to get a dollar return on your investment. Maybe your show just isn't as good as another one, maybe your not as famous, or maybe its just not as good. Dont get discouraged when you create your podcast. It can be temping to look at other shows stats with jealousy. 

Today I share the Twitter Pole results and to my suprise on what was picked as the least voted. Podcast Awesome and have FUN!

Happy Podcasting! I hope your having fun creating your podcast. On this Episode I share some audio recording tips that you can use to help you get the best sound possible. Audio can be tricky to dial in perfectly. It doesn't have to be exactly perfect, just good enough where you can understand what is being said, under any type of playback environment. 

I'm joined by Dave Jackson of The School of Podcasting. In addition to being a Hall of Fame podcaster, he is also a member of the Libsyn team. We talked all about podcasting, what makes a good podcast and some insider tips to help you out. His company The School of Podcasting will help you out from started a show, to creating a better show, to using your show to make money. Dave will personally help you out, not matter what kind of podcast you have.

Happy December 2022! The Holiday Season is here upon us. As we gear up for the Christmas Season a lot of Podcasts will be taking time off for the Holidays. That is totally okay to take breaks from podcasting. But consider that people do enjoy listening to podcasts all year long. They might be forced to take a break from their favorite shows because they decided to take time off this time of year. Which opens up the chance they might discover you podcast. So if possible dont stop podcasting this time of year. Make your show a Holiday Theme like we are doing on The Kris and Kristine Show. All December long we are making Christmas Themed Content. 

On The Kris and Kristine Show this week, our Podcast Media Host went down. They had server problems and our show wouldn't play anywhere. Which can put a lot of stress when you are trying to promote your podcast.  So what do you do when that happens? You should double check that you are connected to the internet. Try different devices and see if it plays. If still not working, then Google check if the company is having an outage. You could file a complaint or wait and see if it comes back up like I did. Luckily it was only down for a few hours. But if it was longer... I would consider switching media hosts.

Hey Podcasters! I hope all is well with your podcasting journey. Today I share how I was able to  get really good audio from a guest that was using a Blue Yeti microphone for the first time. I used a few tricks up my sleeve. First I record all my guests via Cleanfeed. Second I will run the recorded .wav files through The Levelator app on my Macbook. Then the final step I used was Descript's Studio Sound feature. Which can work like magic to enhance "bad" audio.

Happy Podcasting! I hope that I can be of service to help you create your amazing podcast. Podcasting can be fun, and frustrating all at the same time. A lot of podcasts will record a show via Zoom or something and upload that as the show. Without adding any show production at all. A little can go a long way when it comes to show production. On this episode I talk about show production and is it even worth all the trouble. A few simple things can go a long way when adding just a touch of music at the beginning and even a voice over artist to intro the show. Its all up to you for your show. Podcasting can be whatever you need it to be. The audience is out there, they want to hear what you have to say.

Happy Podcasting! I hope your having fun creating your show and if you need extra help... feel free to ask me. Today I mention that you should be honest with your listeners. I know it might sound like common sense but there are some shows that dont. More than just content, they listen to you because they like and trust you. If you remove the trust, then they wont be listening anymore. So just be honest. 

I had Chris Curran of the Podcast Engineering School join me today. We talked all about his love of audio production, what makes a good podcast, and how to create really good audio. HIs school is dessigned to help you become a podcast engineer so you can make a new career out of it.

I mentioned QR codes for your podcast before, but today I had another idea for them. In the event you dont have any business cards to had out in person, show them your QR code on your phone. You could even have multiple QR codes for different podcast players. Depending on where they usually listen to podcasts. Its just another simple way to get a new listener to press play. 

Today I had the chance to have Rob Greenlee stop by for a chat.  He is the on the Board of The Podcast Academy.  Inducted into the Podcasters Hall of Fame in 2017.  And is the Co-Host of The New Media Show.
