    Show notes

    Send us feedback/questions via Text

    Dave reflects on his trip to Podcast Mid Atlantic and talk about enjoying having people create good content that pushes you to do better. Competition is a godo thing when it pushes you to be better. He explains how there really are "original" ideas. The case in point the iPad is simply an update of the Walkman.

    Live Does Not Equal Good

    Dave talks about the new show Best Time Ever and while it was LIVE, it was all over the place. He had a woman who was singing a hit from 1979 along with extreme pogo sticking, with a stunt in the middle. Who is the audience for this stuff?

    Blab is still popular, but we need to make sure to have something to say when you press record if your live or being recorded.

    Blab Updates

    10:12 Blab has added tabs to make it easy to see the questions, mentions, etc. It makes it easier to make sure the questions don't get lost in the chat.

    (Dave explains what a mix minus is as it was causing an issue in Jim's headphones).

    Become an Awesome Supporter

    12:13 Joy ride was the platform that we used for our awesome supporters. You get access to post show recordings, behind the scenes information, and more. The good news is Joyride was purchased by Google. The bad news is they shut it down so we are using Patreon. If you go to www.askthepdocastcoach.com/awesome to sign up. Thank you in advance.

    Sidenote: You can upload directly to YouTube from Blab.

    Podcasts App Upgrade with iOs 9

    15:29 Do NOT upgrade to IOs 9 if you use the Podcasts app from Apple.

    Dave really likes Overcast: but I need the Podcasts app to create clammrs.

    Clammr Now Part of Simple Podcast Press

    16:53 The Simple Podcast Press plugin now has the ability to create clammrs right from the web (this is very cool, and the plugin was already awesome)

    How Do I Start a Podcast

    19: 06 Start with your content, and we recommend the Audio technica 2100

    iJingle is what Dave uses to play the music, etc. i-jingle pro - CamelWeb Creations

    Dave and Jim use a C920 camera.

    Jim is Using Custom Apps from Spreaker

    25:00 He got a sponsor to cover the $200 a year cost of the app. You can get a free month at spreaker using the coupon code sopfree. Here is a link to Jim's Home Gadget Geeks - App.

    Our First Lesson:

    Don't forget to push Record!

    Here is the blab from last Saturday. Podcast to come shortly...

    3:30 Blog Talk Radio vs Blab & What Do You Think of Audio On Blab

    One of the fun thing about this show is we are not afraid to try new tools live.

    10:17 Gary LeLand is Addicted to Blab

    17:18 Alan Lee has questions about Microphone Arms

    There is the cheaper 35 Boom arm from Neewer. Heil makes a great boom arm for around $120. As you only purchase this once, it might be best to invest a little extra money.

    21:12 Redirecting on SqaureSpace

    People want to do mywebsite.com/itunes (easy on Wordpress not on SquareSpace)

    22:05 Ryan K Parker Loved Last Week Episode

    Dave interviewed Donovan Adkisson about getting burned out with podcasting.

    28:30 How is the Blab Video

    How hard is it to run a blab? Do you need a super powerful computer to run blab?

    Soundcloud is being sued by the English Music Industry. They are not a great solution. Dave is using Libsyn.com or Blubrry.com (use the coupon code sopfree).

    Dave had review Simplepodcast.fm (See Review)

    Soundcloud has done a great job with marketing.

    Is Podcasting Pointless? Aug 28, 2015
    Show notes

    Send us feedback/questions via Text

    Love For Podcaster's Group Therapy.

    Dave and Jim talk about good chemestry on the Podcaster's Group Therapy podcast. They do something cool where they have it so if a co-host can't make it they allow other people to step in and keep the show going.

    5:20 Podcasting is Pointless?

    Dave talks about his post on his website titled, "Maybe your podcast just sucks."

    The podcaster had witches on his show and didn't put that at the beginning of the show. He also typed 32 words for his post .

    It's always interesting when a podcast that is getting no audience saying "Podcasting is Dead."

    Its so easy to copy the code for a player on to ANY website.

    14:20 Using Google Ad Sense

    Jim explains his experience using Google Ads on his video.

    You might think about cutting longer shows into smaller bites.

    This would add more time to editing (obviously).

    22:50 Donovan Adkisson Quits Podcasting

    Dave checks out the post of a frustrated podcaster (this later lead to Dave Interviewing him for the School of Podcasting)

    Dave talks about killing and tweaking multiple podcasts.

    If you mail in your podcast, you will probably get "Mailed in" results.

    Show notes

    Send us feedback/questions via Text

    Dave Jackson from the School of Podcasting, Mike Dell from Podcast Help Desk, and Jim Collison from the Average Guy network take your podcast questions.

    2:25 Mike Dell talks about being on Terrestrial Radio

    4:45 Podcamp Pittsrbugh Report

    Dave gives a report from Podcamp Pittsburgh. This is his first time at the event. He is going to do an inptomptu session on "Understanding the Podcast Puzzle" (Awesome supporters got to see this presentation). Dave metnioneed www.tweetjukebox.com

    8:55 Blubrry Announces Wordpress Hosting

    Mike provides a quick update.

    10:25 Paying for Advertising to Promote Your Show

    Mike from the 2980 Network wants to know if Facebook, Google, or other networks is better. Dave has been hearing about all the great things you can do with targeting on Facebook to really get to your target audience. No matter what service you use, be careful and have a specific action you want people to take (as it can get expensive pretty quick). Jim's business uses Google Ad Words.

    17:15 Crowdfire Targeted Twitter Tool

    Mike explains a tool to follow people who are potentially like you and then later you can do some automatic follows. Its more of a target follow than a blanket follow. Check it out at http://www.crowdfireapp.com/ If you use the $4.99 app it unlocks most of the limits. 23:05 Jim's New Co-host Mike is Jim's new co-host on his network. He lost one two the arch enemy of podcasting: babies. Jim is seeing more Omaha people now.

    24:36 Facebook Ads is the Best Bang For the Buck

    Andy explains how to get the most from Facebook ads. Adny is using groups to engage with his potential audience. Long Tail Pro is a great tool for doing keyword research. Andy liked Dave's recommendation of the book Fizz. Dave's shares a story on how he got banned from a forum many moons ago.

    30:20 Glenn The Geek Episode

    Andy really liked Glenn the Geek from Horse Radio Network on the episode of the School of Podcasting Glenn is making a living with his podcast without copying anyone, not worrying about CPM ads. It's a really refreshing look at podcasting.

    33:35 A Great line from Paul Colligan

    Paul produces the Podcast Report, and he said, "Starting A Podcast To Hit iTunes “New And Notable” Is Like Launching A Business To Get Into The Phone Book. Great episode.

    33:59 Why Doesn't Jim Coming to Conferences?

    Nick Seuberling wants to know why Jim doesn't go to podcast events. His schedule just hasn't lined up yet, but he is looking forward to Podcast Movement 2016. Jim is also not a fan of Vegas.

    What are Good Show Notes for Your Podcast Aug 14, 2015

    Dave is back from Podcast Movement and ready to talk podcasting. Thanks to Mike from jpeg2raw.com for sitting in last week.

    2:30 I Should Have More Listeners

    Everyone wants more listeners (even Tim Ferriss). We are in a peak of podcasting, and people may get disenchanted. Don't do things just because everyone else is doing. John Lee Dumas in his speech at Podcast Movement stressed being unique. The average is around 2000 downloads per episode. Find your best audience listeners and put 80% of your effort into them and let them be your brand advocates. Dave did an episode a while ago that you can market like Jesus.

    5:00 Key to Great Interviews is Listening

    You can hear Marc Maron's key note here

    10:00 Reaching Out to Your Audience

    www.talk.to is a cool tool to put your chat. You can call your audience if they use something like Podcastvoicemail.com because you can see their phone number. Apparently the CEO of Tawk.to reached out to Jim to thank him for mentioning the service on the phone. Dave is using Fresh Desk to make sure he doesn't lose input from his audience.

    15:37 Skype with Call Record vs Google Hangout?

    Jim loves Hangouts. He loves the ease of use. Dave prefers Skype as he feels the audio is better.

    16:40 Getting Rid of Hiss

    Ray Oretga has a great video on making sure you have the right level going into the mixer HERE

    The gain is like spicket, the channel volume is like the nossle of the hose.

    Podclear.com might be something to try. It looks promising for recording interviews.

    How Many Downloads Should My Podcast Get? Jul 23, 2015

    Send us feedback/questions via Text

    6:30 Society of Canadian Composers?

    Is this a real deal? This seems weird, some say it is (it is a legit organization) but the podcaster has no music in his show? this (if its real) is just a blanket email to every.

    9:14 Prime Day at Amazon.com


    Amazon had "black Friday" type deals (or so they said) for those on Amazon Prime (where yo uget free shi[[ing, videos, music, etc) for a one time fee. They had $50 off the Amazon Echo . The Audio Technica 2005 is now up to $79. The Amazon Echo has huge Wife Acceptance feature.

    12:55 What Cables Do I need to Setup a Mixer to Record with a Zoom H5

    To go from the mixer to the recorder use this cable from the RCA Out to line in of the mixer.

    16:47 How Can I Get Rid of the Sound of the Air Conditioner?

    If possible turn it off. If you cut out frequency, you will be cutting out the frequencies of the voice.

    18:45 Example of a Speakpipe (not so great) Voice Message (so it depends on who is leaving the message).

    Dave plays a great testimonial that unfortunately was recorded a little too loud.

    Do I Need a Website to Podcast - Frugal Podcasting Jul 17, 2015
    Show notes

    Send us feedback/questions via Text

    Jim has been listening to Spreaker Live hosted by our friend Rob Greenlee. Dave was on an episode talking about the latest podcast news and podcasting in cars.

    4:30 Getting the Right Guest For Your Audience

    it's not about getting big guests for your show, its about getting the best guest for YOUR audience. Jessica Rhodes on Podcast Junkies also stated this.

    6:00 Signed Up Under the Wrong Domain

    When people go to my site they are redirected to the original wrong domain. How do I change this?

    Its a bit of a mess. You can see if you can add on a domain to your website, import your "wrong" website into the new website. Then redirect your DNS to your new add on domain. You will still use the login to your cpanel, but the audience won't see it.

    11:25 Frugle Podcasters: Do I Really NEED a Website

    The key point is NEED. Can you create a podcast without a website. You CAN, BUT Should You?

    No website, no Google Juice. No audience?

    Creating your own RSS feed is a pain in the butt.

    There are a lot of people who play podcasts on your website.

    If I was going to use a free service, I would use Wordpress.com for my free website, (you will need something like - gulp - feedburner to make it iTunes compliant). You might be able to use a media host such as Shoutengine.com (they have a free version, but it has a bandwidth limit). Dave was recommending Audiometric.io in his Podcasting For Free Course. They currently are not accepting any new podcasters. Audiometric.io allows you to create an iTunes compliant feed, and they have a redirect for your RSS feed so you can leave later.

    The joy of live is when the technology decides not show up. So today we have no callers, but we have a great chat room.

    5:50 The President Was On a Podcast?!

    The President broke the record for the most podcast downloads in a 24 hour period.

    A new study is out about podcast listeners from Edison Research

    10:36 Podcasting in Politics?

    People should use a podcast to promote their run. It should be fun to watch. It should be more podcast heavy, but it probably won't be mainstream.

    Check out congressional Dish

    The President's staff actually used the contact page at wtfpod.com

    16:50 Where will the next podcasting boom come from?

    There is some great technology helping podcasting. Smart phones will continue to help.

    We really need Android to get on board. Hello Google?

    Overcast allows you to sync you phone and their website.

    21:02 Android Apps Coming on Board

    I was listening to the Audio book on Audible call Six Figures in 6 Months, and the beginning off the recording was awful. You can spend hundreds of dollars on microphones, but without a pop filter you will sound horrible. You can get the old foam cover for $3.00

    5:45 Have You Ever Been Mentioned on a Podcast?

    Dave got all giddy when he heard his name on another show? This is the question for the audience this week.
