Let's talk about how to make your podcast work for you, not you stressing out every second of the day about your podcast!

This is a question I literally see every, single week: Should I do transcripts for my podcasts or do I really need to do show notes? I'm giving you the reason why slapping transcripts up on a website is NOT the same as show notes. I'm also giving you practical steps on how you can make transcripts act as your show notes with a little formatting.

Yes, my answer to this question is always going to be yes! But listen to my reason why.

Today, you're in for another tough-love pep talk! Buckle up as we go into why you're making it so complicated and how to, just...stop it!

Let's talk about why your podcast needs an email list and how to get started.

This whole week we've explored different places you can record your podcast: the car, your bathroom, your closet, or outside in your back yard. Today, we're exploring a place that I want to be your last resort. Mostly because it's not all that comfortable, but it's definitely effective!

Have you ever thought about recording your podcast outside? Maybe you live in a noisy neighborhood with lots of noise. Or maybe you have the perfect environment for a podcast ambiance with a backyard fountain and birds singing. Or maybe, like me and what you'll hear int his episode, you have lots of random noises that are simply unavoidable. 

All of that to say, recording your podcast in your backyard should never be off the table!

If you've followed my podcast journey for a while, you know that recording in your closet has been an option I've used for a while. It deadens sounds, keeps intruders (aka family members) out, and makes for a quite an optimal recording environment. Hear my other insights for recording in your podcast in a closet.

Okay, so I'm not actually sitting on the potty when I recorded this episode, but I was in my bathroom. This week, I'm taking you through different recording options in your house.

Well, I had every intention of recording today’s episode on my portable recorder while my son was at the orthodontist. Do you know, kill two birds with one stone kind of thing. But that didn’t work out as planned. Hear all about my adventure in today’s episode!
