Don&#8217;t be too serious. \u00a0McComas described that the best podcasts are more fun which makes them more enjoyable and easier to listen to.<\/p>\n<p>2. Put music in between segments. \u00a0I think this is an excellent idea. \u00a0Some kind of music breaking up your talking will make the listening easier on everyone. \u00a0It also gives them some time to think about what they have been listening to.<\/p>\n<p>3. Be organized. \u00a0I originally thought that for podcasts, you just go right in with an initial topic and just talk or interview. \u00a0Obviously I&#8217;m a rookie. \u00a0It seems that the better podcasts are always organized and laid out before the recording even starts.<\/p>\n<p>4. Have more people be in the podcast. \u00a0Listening to some podcasts of only one person speaking can get a little boring, especially if they are not engaging. Having a variety definitely makes things more interesting. \u00a0This way there is some kind of dialogue and also more perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>5. Be natural. \u00a0For me, this will probably be the most difficult thing to try to do. \u00a0It&#8217;s hard recording yourself for the world to listen to when you are not an expert, just an observer of a certain issue or subject matter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reading tips on doing good podcasts, I came upon this blog by\u00a0Carson McComas, a web guide for startups specializing in ecommerce, and online marketing. \u00a0I figured if he does a lot of things online, he would know ow to determine &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/laurenf\/2012\/02\/15\/podcast-tips\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":41,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"qubely_global_settings":"","qubely_interactions":"","kk_blocks_editor_width":"","_kiokenblocks_attr":"","_kiokenblocks_dimensions":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"gutentor_comment":8,"qubely_featured_image_url":null,"qubely_author":{"display_name":"lauren","author_link":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/laurenf\/author\/laurenf\/"},"qubely_comment":8,"qubely_category":"<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/laurenf\/category\/uncategorized\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Uncategorized<\/a>","qubely_excerpt":"Reading tips on doing good podcasts, I came upon this blog by\u00a0Carson McComas, a web guide for startups specializing in ecommerce, and online marketing. \u00a0I figured if he does a lot of things online, he would know ow to determine &hellip; Continue reading &rarr;","post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/laurenf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/laurenf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/laurenf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/laurenf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/41"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/laurenf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/laurenf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":86,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/laurenf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48\/revisions\/86"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/laurenf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/laurenf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/laurenf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
