Stephen and SP continue their arc discussion guesting – this time talking about setting expectations (both for your guest and for you). We also discuss some of the changes within the podcatcher world and what they mean for you. In Better Podback we take your feedback on what your first topic was, as well as where you get your source of podcast industry statistics. Finally, we’ll close up the show with Stephen sharing a story of a purchase that he podgrets (ie. a podcast regret).

Welcome to the first 2017 episode of Better Podcasting. We’ll kick off our show this week discussing some of our more frequently downloaded episodes (have you checked them out yet?) and then of course we’ll get right to the draw for our Audio-Technica ATH-M40X headphone give away! We’ll also kick off our guest arc, this time discussing the considerations you have when preparing to accommodate a guest on your show. Finally, we’ll run through a bunch of fan feedback with topics including your inspiration to podcast, what services you use to podcast, your ideal podcast studio and a whole bunch of other podcast related feedback.

During our final episode of 2016, we continue on our discussion of our gear purchases of 2016 – this time with Stargate Pioneer’s list. SP discusses not only his buys but also the decision factors that came with them. He’s got quite the list, but some of them may make you think about some of the indirect changes you may make to keep up with your hobby.

In Better Podback we’ll close the year with a voicemail submission from a listener for our ATH-M40X headphone give away contest. As a friendly reminder, we will be away next week, but we’ll return the week after.

With this episode we officially begin a Better Podcasting annual tradition – closing our year talking our podcast purchases. While we believe you don’t need a lot of gear to podcast, the reality is that we do seem to acquire a fair amount through the year; however, we do think through our purchases before we make them and we want to walk you through our decision process. This episode we’ll run down Stephen’s list of 2016 and share what he purchased and why he purchased the items.

In the Better Podcasting Download, we’ll tell you all about why you want to be aware if you use a Netgear product. Finally, we’ll take some audio feedback from one Better Podcasting listener.

We know that last week SP teased you talking about free food samples, so we had to deliver this week! This show we share some actual samples of different styles of audio processing you may want to consider within post-production – including some that are “don’t do this”. We’ll discuss noise reduction, audio gating, equalization, rough cuts vs soft cuts and even some deverb. In the Better Podcasting Download we’ll tell you why there’s more writing on the wall about the future of SoundCloud.
