Podcasting is a great on-demand medium for reaching an audience. Audio podcasts are great because they are easy to consume and make great companions while commuting, exercising or working. One option is to produce a video podcast. These are great for shows that have tutorials, lessons, and screenshots. They also make it possible to connect on a deeper level with visuals.

Itunes for Finding a Video Podcast

If you want to find video podcasts on iTunes, go to the iTunes store and select podcasts, then click on video and you will find several to choose from. A good example of a podcast that is suited to video is MacMost. They feature screenshots and tutorials on getting the most out of your Mac. The information would be much more difficult to convey without the screenshots. Little Adventures, Big Planet is another video podcast that wouldn’t be the same without the stunning footage of animals and nature that they feature.

Benefits of a Video Podcast

A video podcast makes it much easier to communicate subjects that are visual by nature. People enjoy being able to look at someone while they are talking to gauge their emotions. The visual medium turns you into someone they can trust and appreciate. It’s also easier to put links in your videos or have on-screen aids with additional information. Videos also make your podcast website more user-friendly.

Your Podcast and YouTube

Having your podcast on YouTube provides some hosting, SEO, and search benefits. By using YouTube, your podcast is hosted for free. If you do this and you decide to submit your video podcast to iTunes, you will need to create an RSS feed from your YouTube channel.

Should you simply wish to reap the SEO benefits of a video podcast, you could use a service like Libsyn to publish your podcast. Once …read more

Podcast clean up can be a big job if the recording was not done well. I want to discuss how to get the best recording and then how to perfect it during editing and mixing. This is a skill you will develop over time, but it is incredibly important to producing an amazing podcast.

Podcast Cleanup Before and During Recording

Small is Good

When you record, try to record in the smallest possible room you can. This will reduce echo and outside noise, making podcast cleanup even easier.

This actually contradicts previous practices that were thought to be best. In the past, it was thought that you needed a big room to get the best sound. This is why studios were made from converted churches. Larger was thought to be better.

Multi-tracking has changed everything. It removed the room from the equation entirely. Today, most of us can get away with a laptop and a closet to do our recording.

Think ahead. Before you even record one word, look at the room you are about to record in. As stated, the smaller the room the better because it will make podcast cleanup that much easier. You will want to remove any possibility of an echo by adding some blankets in front of walls and on solid floors.

This is why most closets are perfect for recording. They are filled with clothing (which dampens the sound) and they have carpeting on the floor.

Check for Reverb

Make sure to run a test recording to check for reverb. Reverb is an echo-like sound, which is similar to — but not as extreme as — the sound you might get if you were to record in your bathroom or an empty room. In these environments, where the sound bounces off bare walls and floors, rather than being absorbed, your recording will sound ‘tinny’ at best …read more
