How to start a podcast by shauny

"fun fun fun fun fun"

How I did it:

  • I found a co-host (Carla of MizFit)
  • We decided on a topic (healthy living)
  • We planned out the first six episodes
  • We collaborated via Google Documents
  • I created a podcast blog
  • I learned how to use Garageband software
  • I signed up for hosting at Podbean.com
  • We both got some microphones
  • We recorded a pilot episode using Skype
  • We held a contest to decide the name
  • And so on!

Lessons & tips:

  • Shop around for podcast hosts
  • Make sure if you use your laptops internal microphone when recording a phone call, you wear a headset! Otherwise you will record your callers audio as well as you own in the same channel... does that make sense?

Resources:

  • Use Call Recorder software from Ecamm.com to record Skype calls
  • just googling "Garageband podcast" or "how to podcast" help really helped!
  • check out the podcast at www.twofitchicks.org!

I really like your podcast.

I’ve listened to it a few times and it’s inspired me to start exercising (slowly!) again. You and Carla are such natural presenters with great chemistry.

About to listen to your latest episode...

..about intuitive eating, and I thought I’d let you know I’m linking to it on our intuitive eating goal – hope you get lots of listeners :-)

Thank you for that! :)

Hope you like it… such a tricky topic to squeeze into a podcast and so personal (feeling a wee bit exposed, arrgh!)

oooh no... i appreciate you spreading the word! :)

i just meant making that episode made me feel a bit vulnerable, but it’s all good coz you gotta be honest about the realities of trying to eat intuitively, i reckon :)

(was just my clumsy wording… sneakily writing comments when i should be working :)
