2 Easy Tricks to Make a Phenomenal Podcast Recording

Want to record a phenomenal podcast episode?

These two tricks will make your guest appearance the best it can be!

1. Gather your Thoughts-

A little preparation can go a long way. If you’re appearing as a guest, you should have 2-4 main talking points you’re there to share with the world.  These should be topics you’d consider to be your expertise or industry trends you are well versed in.  It helps to have a short story, example or anecdote to reinforce the point you’re trying to convey

Additionally, it helps to lend credibility to your professional branding. Many people practice their elevator pitch or talking points at conferences, networking events or even practicing in front of a mirror.  While none is required, it makes it smoother and more natural when you aren’t trying to come up with your main thesis on the spot.

2. Cords!

I strongly encourage you to add cords. While Bluetooth & WiFi are great technologies, having a direct connection reduces the likeliness of distractions. It increases the quality of the sound and video of your recorded content. 

Consider adding the following corded items:

1. Headphones to reduce echo and feedback 

2. Corded Microphone

3. Ethernet Cord

Also mentioned in the video is soundproofing- which can be as simple as a foldable desktop item.

While you may not want to commit to a full podcast studio environment, these easy to find low-cost common items will make your content more memorable for your message instead of any technical distractions!
