This season on Your Podcast Coach, we are discussing all the things you need to know to sound amazing with your podcast.

And if you're talking podcasts, you gotta talk microphones!

In this episode, I run through the top 5 microphones you can use to record your podcast.

And this isn't just comparing microphones, these are the top five ways to record your podcast regardless of your budget or situation.

While I've consulted with broadcast engineers who build multi-million dollar studios, I share in this episode that you can sound just as good, and do it under $100.

However, if you've got the budget, I share two of the best microphones for podcast that are on the market.

Here are a few quick links for the microphones mentioned in this episode:

The Samson Q2U Microphone

The Heil PR40 Microphone with Mic Boom

The Shure SM7B Microphone

This season is all about helping you sound amazing with your podcast!

Tips, strategies and insights you can implement now to help you gain confidence behind the mic.

In this episode, we zero in on the "ideal listener" that you talk to every single episode.

This person (avatar, ideal listener, etc...) you will define by deciding gender, ethnicity and other details.

But you will also dive into what makes this person "tick". What do they enjoy? What are their passions?

And once you zero in on this person, you will name her or him and I share strategies on how to really communicate with this person.

This season is all about helping you sound AMAZING as a host of your podcast.

The foundation, tips and strategies all to give you confidence behind the mic and create the best sounding podcast for you!

In this episode, we get into it with the very first thing you have to make sure:  Are you talking about what you really want to talk about???

This is your passion and it is the foundation of your podcast.

Gaining confidence behind the mic all starts with making sure you're talking about what you are most passionate about.

And the more you focus on your passion, the result it authenticity.

As you think of your favorite podcasts and those hosts, regardless of content or subject matter, we love hosts that are authentic.

As we wrap up 2021, and look ahead to 2022, this is the time of the year when we reflect and prepare.

Part of the preparation is setting GOALS!

Thanks everyone! Have a great holiday season!!!

Going into 2022, I really want to focus on keeping things SIMPLE.

As I mentioned in the last episode, the one area where I've wasted the most TIME and MONEY, is when I've made things more complicated than they needed to be.

And many times, with your podcast and your business, if you keep it simple, that makes life easier, and makes your business more profitable.

In this episode, I share three key themes to help you get ready for 2022 so you can focus on just what's important. (and get the most return!)

As we all get ready for 2022, one theme keeps showing up again and again for me.

Keep it SIMPLE!!!

Goodness knows, over the years, I have complicated things with my podcast and my business. And these “complications” have cost me time, energy and money. 

In today’s episode, I go through three themes you can do to help you, the solo entrepreneur and podcast host, keep things simple. Plus, you’ll get the most benefit for the work you do.

These three themes:

1.  Don’t turn your podcast into a business, turn your business into your podcast.
2. Stop comparing your podcast to the big names. (Just sound as good as them!)
3. If you’re going to do interviews, talk to people you WANT to talk to.

These concepts will help you build great sounding episodes, and promote them with the least amount of effort, to get the most gain.

Thanks for listening and sharing!

We all procrastinate at one time or another.  

Before you judge yourself and feel bad, procrastination is pretty easy-to-spot and easy to correct when you know it's coming.

In this episode, I take you through the five-step cycle from the excitement at the beginning, to the inevitable procrastination.

I am releasing this episode right now, because so many entrepreneurs and coaches are excited (step two) with growing a podcast and their business in the new year.  

To keep that excitement from turning into overthinking (step 4), may I suggest hiring a coach.
