Pump Up Your Pod

Theme music is a fun topic for me because I LOVE music. For a long time, I was a songwriter, composer, singer, musician and did lots of fun stuff all to do with music. I have a degree in music production and have lived and breathed music for a long time.

In this episode, I talk about podcast theme music and how it can be used, or not used, to emphasise your brand. I go through some examples of top episodes on Apple Podcasts and discuss how they have used their music to reinforce their brand in an effective way.

Whether your podcast is silly or serious, short and snappy or long drawn-out conversations, it’s important to think about your brand as a whole and what kind of music, if any, would make sense for you.

How long should my episodes be? This is a question I get asked a lot and theoretically, like a piece of string, you can have them as long as you flippin like. In saying that, there are a number of things to think about before getting stuck into recording.

In this episode, I discuss a few of the factors to consider when thinking about the length of your podcast episodes. I talk about solo episodes, interviewing guests and share some examples of why keeping episodes on the shorter side will get a better success rate of people listening all the way to the end. And that’s what you want.

At the end of the day, it’s your podcast so you get to decide how long it is. The biggest hurdle to overcome is delivering quality content to keep the listeners engaged. And then, have fun!

So you’re keen to start a podcast - yay!  But how long will it take exactly? Having a great idea for a show is the first step but determining how much time you invest each week depends on a few different factors. So before you get cranking, I’ve got a few things for you to keep in mind to make sure you’re good to go.

In this episode, I give you the rundown of the key aspects of producing a show and an idea of how much time you’ll need to invest to keep pumping out your episodes each week. The biggest deciding factor is the length of your episodes. Will they be short and sharp solo episodes or chatty conversations with guests? I talk about how this all plays into the investment of time for research, recording, editing and show notes.

I cover the basics of producing a show and also talk about extra add ons such as creating graphics and audiograms to post on social media, different types of transcriptions and whether or not you’ll be uploading to your website. There’s heaps you can do so now it’s just a matter of deciding how much time you want to spend doing it. Have fun!

I’m talking frequency today and not in an audio nerd way, but in terms of how often you should be putting your podcast episodes out there. In an ideal world, you’d be trying for at least 1 or 2 episodes a week, but there are other factors you need to consider before you get going.

In this episode, I share some tips to help you get organised and determine an episode frequency that’s realistic for you to achieve. I talk about batching episodes, the importance of being consistent and the benefits of using a production schedule to map out future episodes.
