<p>We dive into the new features from Apple Podcasts: automated chapters and timed links. Apple is generating these automatically, though you can opt out. Learn how to add your own chapters using time codes in the description or the</p> <p>podcast:chapters tag. We also examine Apple’s style guide, which suggests including at least three chapters and spelling out numbers. Crucially, the new timed links are restricted to linking only to Apple products such as Apple Music, Apple Maps, and Apple Books. Tune in for details on utilizing or disabling these updates!</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Links:</h2> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Youtube Video of this episode (<a href="https://youtube.com/live/jbCcMrJ6wX0">https://youtube.com/live/jbCcMrJ6wX0</a>)</li> <li>Apples Documentation On Chapters (<a href="https://podcasters.apple.com/support/5482-using-chapters-on-apple-podcasts">https://podcasters.apple.com/support/5482-using-chapters-on-apple-podcasts</a>)</li> <li>Apples Documentation On Timed Links (<a href="https://podcasters.apple.com/support/5536-links-on-apple-podcasts">https://podcasters.apple.com/support/5536-links-on-apple-podcasts</a>)</li> </ul> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Need Help?</h2> <p>Do you need help with podcasting?

How to Eliminate Filler Words in Your Podcast

<p>This episode details how to eliminate filler words—crutches like “um” and “ah”—to sound more professional in your public speaking and podcast. Strategies include becoming aware of the filler words you use, replacing them with intentional silence and pauses, and slowing your speaking down so your brain can keep up. Prepare your main points and transitions well, and practice out loud, perhaps turning off the red recording light to ease anxiety.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Links:</h2> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Youtube video of this episode (<a href="https://youtu.be/MlbOoIxLXZY">https://youtu.be/MlbOoIxLXZY</a>)</li> </ul> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Need Help?</h2> <p>Do you need help with podcasting?

Rode Call Me – Seamless Remote Guests for Your Podcast

<p>In this episode of Podcast Answers, learn all about Rode Call Me, Road’s new product designed to help you bring interview guests onto your show with ease. Discover how this SIP solution facilitates high-quality audio connections, allowing you to link directly with other Rodecaster devices or connect with guests calling in via a web browser from callme.rode.com. I details the different available plans: the free Rode Call Me Light version, which offers 10 hours monthly for Rodecaster-to-Rodecaster calls, the paid Rode Call Me plan with unlimited minutes, and the Rode Call Me Pro which adds broadcasting tools and SIP phone integration. The episode covers how Rode Call Me integrates as a channel on your Rodecaster, allowing for audio processing like “big bottom” and “aural exciter”. You’ll also get practical tips, including how to register your Rodecaster device for the service and crucial advice for guests on ensuring correct audio device setup and enabling echo cancellation for web calls to achieve the best sound quality. I also share why, despite Call Me’s benefits for audio, I continue to use Zoom for my video interviews.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Links:</h2> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>YouTube Video of this episode (<a href="https://youtube.com/live/4YXrGlF8_7o?feature=share">https://youtube.com/live/4YXrGlF8_7o</a>)</li> </ul> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Need Help?</h2> <p>Do you need help with podcasting?
