014 Mastering Open Ended Questions May 31, 2016

Show notes

Open ended questions are your friend. And, I'm going to go ahead and play favorites...How and Why are the bestest friends podcaster can have. In this episode, I explain why I have a sticky note with these two words right behind my mic and how I use them to create kick-ass content.

013 What You Should (& Shouldn't) Edit Out of Your Podcast May 24, 2016

Show notes

I need to tell you something and you may not like it. Here goes. You're not perfect. Shocking, I know. The good news is - you don't need to be because there's this magical thing called editing.

I believe that you should be editing your podcast. Few people can pull off a great show without a bit of tidying up. We're talking about having years of experience; hundreds of hours logged behind the mic before you're pulling off a perfect show. And frankly, if you try too hard to deliver it perfectly the first time - you just might be a little fixated (and not performing at your best). That's a lot of pressure! Allow yourself to make mistakes knowing that you can clean it up in post. Ah, doesn't that feel like freedom?

But, here's a word of caution - editing can get addictive and you can overdo it. Once you get good at it, you might go a little too far. Suddenly, you've got a podcast without a single breath between sentences or you've smashed together sentences that no longer make sense. The key is to keep it natural - let it (and you) breath. Finding that perfect balance is a skill and one you'll have to work on.

Yep, work. Okay, all you smug ones who think you've got a trick up your sleeve - yes, I do know there's software that will automatically eliminate gaps in your podcast. Danger, Will Rogers, danger! I still think you should do the work (or at least have a human, with human ears, do the work) because those programs can leave you sounding unnatural and alien. And, they might just zap the nuance right out of your show.

So, what stays and what goes when editing? I outline it in this podcast and give you an example of how bad 'breathless' podcasts sound. Follow my simple guideline and you'll be sounding more like a pro and gaining more fans.

012 Kill the Encouragement May 17, 2016

Show notes

Can you imagine, uh-huh, if we wrote, yeah, the way some people, uh-huh, run their podcast, yeah, with a steady stream of, uh-huh, verbal encouragements? It would suck. And if you're doing this in your podcasts, it sucks there too. Find out what your uh-huhs and yeahs are really saying to the audience and guest and why you need to kill them. Now.

011 Stop Commentating Your Podcast May 10, 2016

Show notes

Are you wasting your listener's time with pointless play by play commentary of your podcast? In this podcast I explain why you need to cut it out and 'get on with it!'

010 Should You Script Your Podcast May 03, 2016

Show notes

Sounding like a pro means sounding like you are not reading a script while having the precision of a scripted show. Sound complicated? It is but in this podcast I explain how you can solve the scripting dilemma with ease.

009 Headphones Not Optional Apr 26, 2016

Show notes

Do you wear headphones when you record your podcast? You should! That is, if you want to sound and look like a pro.

Wait, what? Headphones make you sound better? You bet. Here’s the deal, when you have headphones you can hear your guests better, you can hear yourself better and you might will perform better. I know one thing for sure, good headphones made a big difference in my confidence as a rookie radio DJ.

I remember buying my first set of cans (that’s radio lingo for headphones). It was a big expense for me as a broadcast student but I wanted to at least look the part. I showed up at my first job at a little one room station in a remote town on the North coast of Vancouver Island and I whipped out my pro headphones. Everyone else was wearing these disintegrating old relics. I don’t know how much of it had to do with my talent, my confidence or the fact that I could actually hear what was going out on air but I got promoted immediately and was soon snapped up by a bigger station. I’m pretty sure there are a few people from back in the day still at that station...wearing those old headphones.

But, I digress. Back to the reasons you should be wearing headphones as a podcaster! In this podcast, I’ll tell you why you need to wear headphones when you record your podcast, what kind you should be using (and not using), and how you should be using them. Who knew there was so much to say about headphones?

Grab your headphones, plug ‘em in and give this podcast a listen. And, if after that you want even more Tim-Wohlberg-on-headphones action, check out this video I created on the same topic. Clearly, I have a thing for cans.

007 Smile When Podcast Apr 12, 2016

Show notes

What does your face look like when you podcast? Yes, it does matter even if you aren’t doing a video podcast. Why? Because we can hear your smile.

This is a note that almost every broadcaster has heard in their life (especially if they work the morning show), “we need more smile in your voice!” Being a podcaster is no different - you need to have smile in your voice. What that means is the listener has to hear your happiness when you talk. You have to convey to them that you’re happy to be doing the podcast, happy to have them listening, happy to have your guest join you.

So, how do you put a smile in your voice? Simple - put one on your face! Want a really good example of a podcast whose smile really works for him? Check out the Joe Rogan Experience. Did I shock you? Yes, he’s known for being ranty which is precisely why his smile is so powerful!

In this podcast, I also explain a few more benefits of adopting a smile while you podcast and help you to master the art of the voice-smile. Tyra Banks may smile with her eyes, now you need to learn how to smile with your voice.

Let me tell you something. When a broadcaster shows up for work, it doesn’t matter if her boyfriend just dumped her, his dog just ate an engagement ring or their kids were up all night puking on them - when that mic turns on, so does their smile. That’s what sounding like a pro is all about and you can sound like one too with a simple :)

006 Demand a Takeaway Apr 05, 2016
