Today Dave is having a technical issue and had to revert to just using his Audio Technica 2100 into blab.

1:31 @nocupcakesone wants to know  how to fix his podcast audio. 

He is using a condensor microphone. These pick up everything. A dynamic microphone like the Audio Technica 2100

Separate the pieces in your sound chain (microphone, cables, power, etc). Get it down to the simplest for mat you can then build on that

Write down what you've learned from each step of the troubleshooting process.

The caller is using Spreaker and Uberconference. Uberconference provides a mp3. It's a better bad choice. Dave uses Callburner to record skype. You might also look into getting a skype in or a skype out number to call phones.

12:30 How Many Listeners Should I Have?

There is no one size fits all as different genres and topics have more potential than others. Right now the median of podcasting right now is 165 per episode.

Why did you start podcasting? While you can make money as a marketing tool for your company and products, podcasting is not a great tool for making "quick cash."

16:10 Podcasters Should Have A Website

@nocupcakesone does not have a dedicated website for his podcast. Facebook recently deleted a Facebook page of someone who had TONS of people on their page and they just deleted it. If you're not a "techie" then you can find affordable people to do the tech stuff for you.

20:32 I want to have a podcast behind a firewall.

I want to cut out the "gems" and put out the "gemless" version to his public audience and charge people get the best parts. It might be better to limit the number in the episodes in the feed and charge to get your complete episodes. Digital Access Pass provides a secure RSS feed.

You can tell people what to do for free, you charge to tell them how to do it.
