Podcasting Lessons Learned are the most important part of the process.<br />
 We all start podcasting somewhere, but I decided to share my podcasting lessons learned along my podcasting journey.<br />
A bit of a disclaimer first, this is not a Podcasting 101 course, so some items I will mention, but not go into complete depth. I will leave that to the Podcasting Gurus; Daniel J. Lewis (<a href="https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Audacity to Podcast</a>), Dave Jackson (<a href="http://schoolofpodcasting.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">School of Podcasting</a>) Ray Ortega (<a href="http://podcastersroundtable.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Podcasting Roundtable</a>) and others to discuss those subjects in more depth.<br />
Oh, one more disclaimer, as time marches forward, Social Media platforms will come and go, so I will try to talk more general in themes (that hopefully) will be applicable on any new platforms that we haven&#8217;t even seen at the time of this Blog post.<br />
Last time a podcast was posted was 3/6/16<br />
Before we begin, I want to say something important.<br />
If you are a current podcaster, I want these points to encourage you.<br />
If you have never been a podcaster, I want to share something with you right now.<br />
So, to all you non-podcasters &#8211; look at your thumb. Go ahead, look at it. Your thumb-print is unique and so are you. Your life path, experiences and your point of view is different than anyone else&#8217;s, and we need to hear from you.<br />
If you need a reason to podcast it&#8217;s this &#8211; you are unique and special. As we go through this list and you&#8217;ve never thought about podcasting, I hope you will get some more intermediate and advanced tips and ideas to help you along the way.<br />
And now, here are my Podcasting Lessons Learned;<br />
1. Count the Podcast Cost<br />
A podcast takes a lot of work. Read that again. Read it one more time. Lots of popular podcasters make it look easy, but it&#8217;s not.<br />
Now, I&#8217;m not trying to squash your podcasting dreams. I&#8217;m trying to give you the truths I learned (much later) &#8211; up front, so you know what to expect ahead of time.<br />
You&#8217;ll thank me later.<br />
Podcasting is a tough gig. It takes more time, energy, money, emotional investment than anything you can think of.<br />
We&#8217;ll leave that here for now, but if you stop reading (or listening to this podcast episode) before the end, at least you&#8217;ll know this fact.<br />
2. Solo Host or Co-Host(s)<br />
There are lots of factors that lead to someone that listens to it consider it to be something they&#8217;d like to continue to listen to;<br />
&#8211; Quality of the audio of the finished product,<br />
&#8211; Quality of the speaker(s) voice,<br />
&#8211; Editing (limiting of extraneous information, filler words, etc),<br />
&#8211; Brevity (staying on point and limiting &#8220;<a href="https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rabbit%20trail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">rabbit trails</a>&#8220;),<br />
&#8211; Likability of the speaker(s)&#8217;s speech pattern,<br />
&#8211; Speaker(s) knowledge of the subject,<br />
and much more.<br />
When I thought it might be fun to launch the OUAT Fan podcast, I asked my wife to join me as a co-host. There were many reasons;<br />
1. Was that I was the sort of funny banter guy and she was the well-read, well-studied Disney, Fairy Tale, etc fan, 2. I figured the listeners would appreciate 2 different voices discussing the show, 3. She would save me when I (often) forgot a name of an actor that came up in an off-the-cuff comment (Note: Always prep well before recording.
