Dave has been track EXCATLY how long it takes to make a podcast. This includes:

Researching stories
Organzing show notes for recording
Recorind the Podcast
Editing mp3 tags
Uploading the mp3
Creating the Show notes

It turns out that based on my last 7 podcasts, you spend 4 minutes for every 1 minute of podcast. For example this podcast is about 10 minutes in length. As I type these show notes I'm at the 34 minute mark.

OK BIG DEAL?

Well, sometimes we get caught up in how fun podcasting is and we want to start another one before realizing that if we do a 15 minute podcast 4 times a week, that 4 HOURS of show production required. In some cases, you end up skimping on preparing good quality content, and then ALL your shows suffer.

Just Dave's way of saying, "Maybe you should think about it before starting another podcast."

See you at the Expo

Used appropriately, music and sound effects can really enhance your CONTENT.

Dave shares his feelings as he has quit listening to some podcasts as they play "whacky" sound effects over and over (and they don't even tie in with the content). What do you think? Does this bug you?  

On the other hand, Music and sound effects can create a mood, and a theater of the mind experience when used properly.

I am starting a new segment "last 5 in 5." This segment will not feature your most favorite podcasts (in theory) but the last 5 podcasts you listened to. (So if anyone complains "You didn't mention my podcast," you can explain it THE LAST 5 podcasts you listened to).

If you want to review or comment on each podcast you can, but the segment has to be less than 5 minutes.

Call them in at 888-563-3228 (please use a land line for improved quality), or record them and email them to schoolofpodcasting - at - gmail.com (separated to avoid spam).

Each segment will be introduced "Today's Last 5 in 5 comes from _____ and if you have a podcast we will mention your show name and website."

The concept is that most of the podcasts I listen to I learned via word of mouth, and I want to provide a tool to increase word of mouth communication.

Dave mentions a new segment "5 in 5" inspired by Joe of www.salesroundup.com This is where you tell us (not so much your favorites but) what were the last 5 podcasts you listened to (do NOT include this one). If you want to say if you liked it or not, feel free but try to keep your comments under 5 minutes (hence 5 in 5).  Call it in a 888-563-3228 (if possible use a land line - better yet record it and send us the mp3 file).

Dave gets notified about the Podcaster Awards and in checking eligibility discovers his RSS feed is NOT 100% valid. As the deadline is 7/15 you may want to get cracking on validating your feed, and alerting your listeners (that is if you care about these types of things - it might attract more sponsors if you were people's choice 2006).

Specials thanks to Curt from http://www.digitalslobpod.com for opening the show.

To check your feed go to www.feedvalidator.org

See everyone in California.

UPDATE: I sent an email to Todd Cochrane and he explained the RSS stipulation was to make sure a submission IS a podcast as some submit items that have NO RSS feed at all. Other sites such as clickcaster.com can only be viewed in itunes. Minor issues that can't be helped would be (more than likely) overlooked (I'm paraphrasing what Todd said).

Dave interviews Martin Perlich a 40+ year veteran of many forms of media. He is the author of the book "The Art of the Interview - a step by step guide to insightful interviewng from Empty Press

Dave interviews Martin on his book tour for his new book "Wild Times" and Dave's choice of microphones was great (um, if I wanted to pick up all the ambience of Borders). Martin "Schools me" on interviewing skills.

If this is the first time you're heard this show, the audio is typically not this bad. I tried to edit this, but I needed to keep both the left and right channels.

Dave points out his own "Crap questions" and explains why they are crap (things like his history, experience should be listed before the interview - as a set up - not something your intervewee needs to answer for the 100th time).

Martin's book has lots of good tips (how to prepare, listen, how and when to use a hard hitting question), and is filled with fun stories as you get to read how he approached different interviews.

I recommend the book for anyone who does interviews on their podcast. You're opening questions (along with the questions that follow) will definitely improve. Your audience will thank you.

This is part one of my interview with Allen Stewart of the marketer's podcast (www.themarketerspodcast.com ) Allen is a great guy, and every conversation with Allen always ends with me full of ideas. I LOVE people who make me think.

I realize that many of us do not have a marketing baground so I asked Allen to do a "Marketing 101." For those that are looking to monetize their podcast this is right up your alley. However, if you're not you can still get a TON out of this interview. Simply substitute the word "Customer" with the word "Subscriber."

I also answer some listener email from Cornelius Fichtner of the Project Management Podcast (http://pmpodcast.blogspot.com ) Who asks about selling, or having a "Premium" podcast.

Microphone Review:
I really like the sound of the Audio Technica 2020. It's very clear, and while the 3035 handles the bottom end, and has some additional features, if you're on a budget, the 2020 is a great microphone.

Microphone #1 Audio Technica 2020 (get the mic, and free windscreen for $99 )
Microphone #2 Audio Technica 3035  (get the mic, and free windscreen for $199 )

Thanks to everyone who commmented about the last show. Well I found out the hard way that the T30 DOES NOT allows you to plug in a microphone to the LINE IN. The line is for plugging in a CD player (or any other line device). Dave's answer was to go to www.ebay.com and buy a refurbished iRiver 899 (total cost 95.11 )

If you're not looking to spend the giant bucks on a Marantz 660 ($500), Roland-Edirol has the new R-09 coming out later this month ($400). Allan Stewart from the Marketers Podcast let me know that new models of Minidisc recorders have the ability to download to a PC. I checked into this an sony has a model MZM100 and it does connect via USB (Click the link and buy a new MZ-M100 from us and receive a free pair of Sony MDR-7506 headphones ($99 value) with your order. While supplies last! at samedaymusic.com).

Keep in mind that line in does NOT equal mic in.

Its official (I've been dying to announce for some time now) I will be a speaker at the Portable Media Expo in September. I'm doing a session titled "Planning Your Podcast: Avoiding the Ready FIRE Aim Syndrome." I was going to the expo anyway, but this is such a thrill I LOVE classroom teaching, meeting people, and helping them face to face. If you're coming, and see me be sure to stop me and say hi.

Dave gives you tips on purchasing Podcasting products. There are big time Internet gurus (who do not have a podcast) who are marketing products about being a podcaster. They tell you how to make money with Podcasting, and yet to do that you need an audience, and yet they don't have a podcast audience. BEWARE!
