"What kind of software do you use to edit your podcast?" Someone just asked me that question. Here's my answer... I used to have "people" edit my podcast but it got to be too expensive ($400 a pop x 10-12 podcasts per month...). So I put the Published Author Podcast on pause over a year ago. I'm looking at bringing it back and using Descript to take care of most of the editing. It also does the transcription and it will also replace Zoom with Squadcast as the software for conducting the interview. I might still need to hire someone for parts of it, but it should cut the cost down to <$100 per episode, maybe even <$50. If you've got alternative suggestions I'd love to hear them. BTW, if you're a book author, should you have a podcast? I'd say "Absolutely yes!" It's a great way to gather quotes and case studies for future books, it's a great way to build an audience for your book, it's a great way to sell your book if you already have one, etc.

Less content, consumed more deeply. Most of what you learn from a book, an essay, or a podcast is not from the information it gives you but from your attempt to make sense of it and use it to solve the questions you are personally trying to answer. You have to fit it into your own mental model for it to stick. I've learned much more from reading fewer essays but then writing what I think is the thesis and my own counterpoint to it. I've learned more from reading fewer books, but writing notes in the margins and pulling out highlights for later. Any time I notice myself wanting to listen a podcast at higher than 1x speed, I just throw out that podcast and spend more time with the ones I personally find most valuable. Less content, consumed more deeply.

Just so you know, blogposts (much like podcasts) are not peer reviewed research articles nor are they necessarily authoritative outside of their own contexts. Claiming that your blogpost/podcast is the final and definitive statement about something or that your statements in a blogpost/podcast are authoritative for the whole church is narcissistic (at best) and perhaps even demonic (at worst). This doesn’t mean that you should stop writing blogposts or producing podcasts. All this means is that you need to be a little more realistic with what a blogpost/podcast is—it’s a place in which you share your opinions and your thoughts whether they’re completely factual or not.

I often found myself dozing off while editing podcasts because they were boring. At least 50% of podcasts out there aren't growing because they're "interview" podcasts. Most podcasters give up because their show stops growing. Ngl, in my early days on Upwork, I edited 100s of unengaging Q&A "interview-style" podcasts. And, the superstition goes - if I fall asleep editing, the episode performs poorly. 😆 Human interaction needs to evoke emotions. You don't need to act like a clown to make your listeners or viewers feel understood and included. YOU need to ask questions better to get good responses. I am no good at this skill (as you may be able to tell if you catch the full video on YT 😁 ) so I enlisted the help of Joe Pardavila. Joe, a seasoned NYC radio personality, draws inspiration from his engaging conversations with Hollywood celebrities. He imparts invaluable lessons from the world of improv and offers insightful tips and tricks for podcasters. You can't miss this!

A lot of experts, creators, and entrepreneurs are naturally curious. Case in point: when interviewing guests on their podcasts. But they should apply that curiosity to show development and develop a premise FIRST… then worry about content after. Rather than collect perspectives from guests or convey their perspective on the episode level, the entire vehicle needs to carry some kind of perspective at the project level. That’s the premise. You’re not a Late Night host. You’re not talking topics with experts. You’re exploring a single idea, articulated through your perspective. A premise. A premise is an assertion you make about what should be or could be, and everything else follows from it. For instance, if I assert “great stories are crafted, not experienced,” then what follows is a show dissecting a guest’s signature story—not longform bio-based interviews with storytellers. Many generic sounding projects have insights buried in their content, but the wrapper doesn’t make clear what you’ll find inside, so we don’t subscribe. Your premise makes what would normally be discovered much more apparent. Make an assertion. Ask questions about it. Develop a premise, like IP you own. The rest follows from that.

If you’re going to publish a newsletter, strive to be a great writer. If you’re going to publish a podcast, strive to make great audio. If you’re going to publish on YouTube, strive to make great videos. Of course no one starts out as a master — you need a lot of reps to create great work. And it’s a GOOD idea to publish that early work that you know isn’t “great” yet. But I’m talking about your perspective — are you pushing yourself to learn this medium and get better, or not? “Checking the box” just to be “on” some platform isn’t a long-term strategy.
