How's your podcast going? Share the link so we can support you. Greetings from Zambia.

Very very informative. Thanks a lot!!!!

You're most welcome, Marnie! Should you have other questions or concerns, feel free to send us an email at [e-mail]. Happy podcasting!

[@bramsrockhopper3377]

Noob question here: when you’re interviewing someone who’s in a different location, do they record their own audio and send it to you so that you can edit it in with yours, or are you recording their audio as well? I can’t spend much money up front, and the people I’ll be chatting with can’t do that either, so it needs to be as easy as possible. Be kind, I’m totally new to this idea lol. Thanks!

[@kellyescobar3812]

I wish someone would answer this question because I would love to know this as well lol

[@Buzzsprout]

Take advantage of Zoom! We have a video tutorial on everything you need to know: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnmWaJx-nr2Inrs

Its best to do it via live stream and then both have a copy when it automatically saves. Just make sure not to hit the wrong button and lose the entire interview

[@beinghuman8616]

Which mic and setup exactly we should use if we're in a noisy environment

[@Buzzsprout]

You'll want to add sound dampening if possible and look for a dynamic microphone

[@therapkidlatshow]

I'm going to start a podcast hopefully today. thanks for the help.

That sounds awesome, Ralph! If you have any podcasting questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. All the best!

What type of laptop(s) do you recommend?

[@Rhoadspc]

Hey guys ! Great video thank you 🙏 I’m just getting started and I’d like to know , alongside the recording software , what’s the best way to connect with a guest remotely. So if I want to interview someone in a different location then I am, what’s the best way to easily set that up, and record, aside from zoom. Thank you!

[@Mark-nl3me]

do more of this!! this is amazing

[@mattster97]

first off.....thanks for this, its put a bit of jump in the step to get going! My question is if you are using intro music that is owned by an artist do you need to identify them or ask for permission because of copy rights?

Your videos are so helpful! I am learning so much. My co-host and I will be recording from 2 different cities. Do you have any recommendations of which software would be best for recording? Thanks!

[@Buzzsprout]

Hi there, Andy! When it comes to remote recording, our go-to choices are Squadcast and Riverside. Alternatively, you can explore other software options that may better fit your preferences: www.buzzsprout.com/blog/record-podcast-remotely

Brilliant, learnt a lot, really enjoyed!

I love to hear that! Thank you!

[@quandaled7006]

[@lumigloskin5174]

This seems like a lot of equipment. I am just starting and have a good microphone i got for podcasting and the software. It seems super excessive for a small new podcast

[@monicamailman3796]

He did say, 'if money is no object' so cost is a factor for you. He has from cheap to expensive ideas.

[@mish19811]

Hi did you filmed it with the m50 and 22mm lens ?

[@vikingqueen9]

I'm brand new to getting started in podcasting. My question is, Do you have to have every piece of equipment to get started? Could I just use my microphone and audio interface and directly record and edit via my PC desktop? I think I may use Audacity. But, I am having difficulty in setting up the microphone with Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd generation. That's all the equipment I have for now. Have you got a video tutorial on this audio equipment please? I just want to get started. Thanks for a great video so far though! :)

[@Buzzsprout]

Hi Christine, welcome to podcasting! You can start without a lot of equipment. Setting up the microphone can be tricky, but we have plenty of software tutorials, you can find that here, bit.ly/3zofqs9 Hope that helps. If you have any other questions, shoot us an email at [e-mail]

[@Andy_Pandy2000]

Very professional technical advice but is all this stuff necessary at the beginner level?

[@Buzzsprout]

While not all technical advice is necessary, understanding the basics can be a big help in growing your podcast. It's okay to start simple and gradually incorporate more techniques as you grow. :)

[@bondyfamily2]

Great content. Very helpful. Thanks!

You can use Garageband, it comes free with Mac computers! Here's our tutorial for how to record: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3K3eIJrlt6lsMU

[@dwaynenero535]

Hey there, thank you for this amazing video and many more that I'm sure I will be looking into. I have a question that I hope is not a stupid question ... I know Podcasting is a listening platform but what about if your Podcast idea or show is interviewing others not just with audio but with video? What format or platform can you use if you want people to "Watch" your podcast? Is it just simply setting up a camera filming your Podcast? Sorry if this is a stupid question I'm just not sure how all of this actually works. Do you have a video explaining this that I can watch? Thank you very much for your help.

[@Buzzsprout]

Hi there, Dwayne! Glad you found this video helpful! Regarding your question about video podcasts, yes, setting up a camera to record your sessions is the way to go. KZbin is a great platform for sharing video podcasts. While we don’t have a specific video on this topic yet, the key principles of engaging content remain the same for both audio and video formats. I hope that helps! In case you have specific questions or have other concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out or email us at [e-mail].

How do you avoid mic bleed when recording with 2 or more mics?

[@Buzzsprout]

The best is to use dynamic microphones like the Samson Q2U. They're directional, so they don't pick up much background noise. Then sit across the table from your co-host so the mics are pointed in the opposite direction. That way you won't get any bleed!

[@bluewater3783]

@@Buzzsprout Thank you! :)

[@anneschielder89]

thank you for the video! just a little tip: maybe chose an other backgroud music next time - just something that‘s a little more relaxing or more like a melody and not just beats. But as I said thank your for the video, loved it!

[@Buzzsprout]

Thank you, Caroline! Let us know if you run into any hurdles starting your podcast!

[@carons.967]

Or no music at all! We are riveted enuf by content that is well presented

[@bramsrockhopper3377]

Agreed, I just find the background music distracting and annoying…shame when the content is actually useful and interesting. You don’t need all the background music! Phase it out after your links…

[@joannthomases9304]

You do this after setting up a business ?

[@Buzzsprout]

Hi there, Joann! Podcasting can be for both business owners and individuals. You don’t necessarily need to have a business to start a podcast. What matters most is that you started. 😊 If you have any podcasting questions, feel free to reach out. We'll be happy to help!

[@makerc4]

Hi! We are 4 friends that want to start a podcast, our goal: have fun. BUT, we are on a tight budget so we are leaning on recording it online, as buying an audio interface to record 4 xlr mics at the moment is out of budget. What's the best platform to record online? Is there something better than Zoom or Skype? Thanks!

[@Itscashmere08]

How do u come up with topics for the podcast?

[@Buzzsprout]

Hi there! Coming up with podcast topics often involves understanding your audience's interests, current trends, and your own expertise. You could start by asking your listeners what they'd like to hear about or using keyword research tools to find out what people are searching for in your niche.

I made the mistake of paying for ''original'' music on Fiverr then it got a copyright strike from KZbin and I had no license to defend it. Went back to the guy and he couldnt give me the license. Went back to Pond5 which I had used before and used them again. Lesson learned.

How do you know if you are good enough to have a podcast!

[@Buzzsprout]

Hey Monica! Great question. To know if you're ready for a podcast, just start. Passion, consistency, and genuine interest matter more. Podcasting improves with practice, so don’t fret about being perfect. Excitement about your topic and eagerness to share put you on the right track!

4:45 This boom arm does NOT work well with any microphone. It's not good buddies with the SM7B because of the placement of the XLR connector on the SM7B. The XLR plug gets in the way of the hinge of the arm, making it less flexible.

1:35: why not buy Blue Yeti? I had one and it was one of those deals where i had to fight the plug to connect the thing… Which wore out the plug and broke… And the time it took for the attrition was perfect for yeti because that put me out of warranty… I really think this is part of their marketing plan… The part they don’t show the customer or the world… By the way, if you get rid of saying “a ton of…“ You will sharpen up your presentation dramatically… It’s the little things that make the biggest difference… Let the girls who just graduated college use that silly word with the silly enunciation… You are better than that…
