I am an old dude. I was raised on broadcast TV - 40 - 50 channels, and then cable. I have been dubious of podcasts/casters. But now, I see a "circuit"? Content creators use each other to further their audience outreach. Bill goes on Pam's podcast. Frank, Pam's friend. thought Bill did a great job, so now Frank wants to interview Bill and on and on. It is genius and no doubt this is the future of information sharing. Congrats and much success on your journey.

[@Buzzsprout]

Thanks for sharing your perspective! It's amazing how the podcasting world has evolved and how content creators collaborate to broaden their audience.

Great advice!! Thank you!!

[@JewelVeitch]

Thank you! so helpful! I want to start a 2nd season for my podcast, do I just start and call it season 2 or is there a way to organize season 1 in a sort of portal that separates season 1 from season 2?

[@Buzzsprout]

Hi there, Jewel! Congrats on starting your 2nd season! In regards to your question, most podcast hosting platforms have a setting where you can organize your episodes into seasons. When you upload a new episode, specify that it’s part of ‘Season 2’. This way, your listeners can easily navigate between seasons. Happy podcasting!

[@JewelVeitch]

Thank you!

[@VexcomStudios]

The introduction, is that for the trailer? Or is that for the first podcast after the trailer? Thanks for answering.

[@RM-hj7zo]

The thing about generic emails with the name switched out is terrible communication advice. If you want that person to give you their time, I would make it much more personal.

[@Buzzsprout]

We hear you! Tailoring your outreach is key and truly makes a difference. Balancing efficiency with authenticity is what we aim for. Appreciate the insights!

[@MuzieklabPodcast]

Thanks a lot! Do you guys have preferred websites/apps to create an audiogram?

[@Typicalskinner]

Wavve is a decent one that I use! :) best of luck!

[@ScottBrandonHoffman]

You can do it directly in Buzzsprout, also headliner is a great one!

[@MuzieklabPodcast]

@@ScottBrandonHoffman your comment has been eye-opening for me! Thanks a lot!

[@SAnderson54]

I like Headliner

[@WEBookthematches]

so much good information

[@Buzzsprout]

Appreciate your support. Thanks for watching!

[@OnHumansPodcast]

Does the "podcast intro" refer to a trailer or the beginning of every episode? I am quite sceptical that listeners are interested in hearing about my educational background at the beginning of every episode, even if mine happens to be quite good and relevant (I went to Oxford to study the topic in question). I'm worried it would sound like bragging and none of the hosts I listen to do this.

[@atiatahira7901]

Hope it would be helpful!🥰

[@marchoover2326]

I watched a video of Travis using Auphonic for editing. Do you only use Auphonic? I use Audacity. I feel like if I edit it Audacity and then run it through Auphonics, it will reduce the quality of sound. Should I just stick to only running it through Auphonic? Thx

[@Buzzsprout]

If you edit your podcast in Audacity and then run it through Auphonic your audio should get better, not worse. You can always try it and compare the before and after to see how much of a difference it makes for your episodes

[@marchoover2326]

@@Buzzsprout Travis, I just experimented last night. It sounded good doing some edits in Audacity before going through Auphonic. I wanted to know what you do. Do you pre edit before using Auphonic? Thanks!

[@Buzzsprout]

Yes. You'll do all of your editing prior to using Auphonic. Auphonic should be the final step before you upload the episode to your podcast host

[@dshak9311]

Can you start PODCAST in REELS

[@Buzzsprout]

Absolutely! Podcasting knows no bounds, and we appreciate your innovative thinking! Reels can be powerful for promoting your show and engaging your audience across social media. Give bite-sized snippets a try with a CTA guiding listeners toward your chosen directories.
