I’m doing the Bill burr format. I have things to talk about. I just like to talk!

[@paulnelhart2471]

For my show * Format: Interview * Length: thinking it'll be 20-30 per guest show * I'm committing to 50-guests to start, I'll probably stack a bit in the beginning and then once a week

[@Buzzsprout]

That's awesome. Let us know when you publish, Paul.

[@martinapileggi6514]

I just started following you on KZbin and I love EVERYTHING about your videos. I'm learning a lot and I enjoy the relaxed tone of every video. It feels like I'm receiving advices from a friend. Keep up the good work!

[@PurpThomas1]

Thank you for this information!

[@moshefabrikant1]

For my show - Format - Interview conversation Length - 30 mins+ Episode - starting from next week once a week.

[@justanotherday5833]

This is genuinely good

[@joharindia541]

I find it very helpful for my efforts to create awareness and unity among the indigenous people of India.So far I am doing it through a weekly newspaper for the last twenty years.I strongly hope and look forward to contact the indigenous people in India through this unique method of Podcast. I will learn how to do it. Thanks a lot for providing me free training in this new form of mass communication.

[@womendotcom]

Thank you guys so much for doing this series. It's so helpful!

[@Buzzsprout]

So happy that you find this video helpful. Thank you so much and have an awesome podcasting journey!

[@pluginIndia]

Going through the videos one by one, finding them to be very informative. Small tips are handy. We already have a KZbin Channel going for us and want to include Podcasts as a part of our journey to spread the word of EVs.

[@SoulPapiii]

Learning alot

[@depthhistory]

Here is what my high school English teacher would inevitably say when we would inevitably ask how long the paper he assigned us to write should be: “It should be as long as a girl’s skirt, short enough to be interesting but long enough to cover the subject.” Of course, if a teacher would say that today he or she would be out of a job, but back when I went to school times were less confrontational and this sort of joke was considered acceptable.

[@startupradioindia1198]

Helpfull thank u

[@romikitten]

I have to do this for English class, very informative. Thank you.

[@Buzzsprout]

That's great, Romita! Enjoy podcasting! 😀

[@SA-ex4il]

awesome.

[@SmileyBros3]

I am dying for the next vid in this series!

[@Buzzsprout]

It's coming soon ;)

[@vlogsbyIb]

Awesome info!! I'm currently in the works on setting up and acquiring the necessary equipment to start my own podcast (on another channel) and I've loved the info you provide! One thing I do want to mention, coming from a viewers point of view, is sometimes your delivery is a little slow, as if you're not entirely sure what you're going to say. Try show notes or something and use a few cuts if needed because a better flow of words would jump your video quality tremendously! :D

[@albanbrooke]

Thank you for the recommendation, Ibrahim!

[@vlogsbyIb]

Alban Brooke Keep up the awesome content!! :)

[@UralaTAO]

Thanks brother.

Lol. That is cool. I've never seen my like change the number. Haha

[@donaldgulley4750]

This was some really awesome content. These videos are really building my confidence to start a podcast.

[@ApesOnDaLooze]

Any tips on finding a co host? I'm interested in doing a show about 70s and 80s horror movies and I really shine at bantering with someone I get along with but I live in a very conservative area and don't really know any people who share my interests. Wondering how to find a suitable co host over the internet and how you would go about recording together from separate locations

[@Buzzsprout]

Are their any online forums where you could connect with a potential cohost? Remote recordings are pretty easy if you use Zoom or SquadCast.

On a news recap, how does one handle copy right for content gathered from other stories and resources etc?

[@DougGreene]

Very cool that you're doing these. I just signed up with BuzzSprout and am resurrecting an interview-style podcast I started a couple years ago. Looking forward to hearing your gear recommendations. What I'm starting off with are the Sennheiser PC8 headset and the Samson Q2U dynamic mic. Seem to be pretty amazing for the money.

[@Buzzsprout]

The Q2U is an awesome microphone. You can check out more of our gear recommendations in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lae9qKWPmLxkqZI

What about I want to tell the people about my childhood and interview people about their experiences can I do podcast using those?

[@Buzzsprout]

Definitely! You can do this. 👍

My podcast Cheyanne's Jewelry Podcast is a real mixture. :-D

[@EnriqueMunozOnline]

I would love to see a video about "Solo Podcast" because me as starter I only can have myself available for the podcasts, any advice for this format?

[@Buzzsprout]

Hi Kique! In regards to the format, it may depend on what niche or type of show your podcast talks about. One more thing is to know which format you are most comfortable with. Revisit the mentioned 5 common podcast formats and see which of them you'll follow. 😊

[@EnriqueMunozOnline]

@@Buzzsprout I’m a motivational video gamer, focused on changing the stigma that “video games are bad”, talking about how positive can be play video games. So in my format it would be a Interview podcast, some episodes solo and some with a guest.

[@Buzzsprout]

@@EnriqueMunozOnline Sounds like you're in great formats! That perfectly sits well with the type of show you're having. 👍

[@choosenickey7562]

great content + cutie pie!

[@pacedeli24]

What do you think about solo podcast??

[@Buzzsprout]

Solo podcasts are great!

[@tambwemangalafrixel9061]

Is it possible to include all that in one’s podcast and have a large audience or it’s best to have only one

[@Buzzsprout]

[@Buzzsprout]

Sorry! I think it was showing up that way while it was scheduled to be released. Let us know what you think!
