  • Please Edit Your Show. Podcasting tips from Howard Fine & Roman Mars (and Jason Van Orden) - (p3/3)

    Josh went back and listened to some of his earliest Podcast Interviews (from 2012 and early 2013) and has managed through all the muck and mess, to pull out several lessons for better Podcast Interviews. This is part 3 of a 3 part series covering the following 3 Lessons.

    Today's Lesson: EDIT YOUR PODCAST!!

    To paraphrase Howard Fine: If you think editing doesn't matter, then go find your favourite Speech, TED Talk, Joke, etc. and start adding ums, ahs, likes and you knows back into the audio, and see if it makes it better. Hot Tip: It Doesn't.

    To paraphrase Roman Mars from 99% Invisible: If you have 500 listeners, and you cut out a minute of fluff from your podcast, you’re not just saving one minute, you’re saving 500 minutes.

  • [Feed Share] Lofty Fulton on Voice-Acting, The Dark Side of Radio, Perseverance, and His Incredible Book 'Lofty - My Life in Short'

    This Episode includes discussions of both Anxiety and Bullying, so please take care of yourself while listening today. 

    Lofty Fulton is one of the most recognisable and much-loved Voice-Actors in Australia. Having first made waves on the FM during the halcyon days of Radio in the 80's and 90's, he then went on to build a very successful (and highly respected) Voice-Over career - with clients including Master Chef Australia, Toyota Australia, McDonald's Australia, and many more household names. 

    So, why is Lofty on the show? 

    Well, that's a simple one, Josh absolute loves his audiobook version of "Lofty - My Life In Short", and counts it among his favourite biographies he's ever listened to. Lofty has also faced and overcome more than most to reach the level of success he has in the Audio Industry, so his insights into creativity and perseverance are both powerful and hard-won.

    Josh went back and listened to some of his earliest Podcast Interviews (from 2012 and early 2013) and has managed through all the muck and mess, to pull out 5 lessons for better Podcast Interviews.

    This is part 1 of a 3 part series covering the following 3 Lessons.

    • (Annoying plus Sleepy Time) Introducing episodes with a list of apologies and caveats, and delivering that list with less energy than a Three-toed Sloth.
    • (Mistake) Multiple interviews were recorded with the wrong microphone source at Josh's end of the call, and it sounded absolutely horrendous.
    • (Lazy) Josh kept asking Guests to introduce themselves and to "Tell Us About Yourself".
