The first Podcasters' Studio that doesn't start with a zero (ex: 001, 099)! Episode 100, we made it! Thank you to everyone who has ever listened and helped the show reach this milestone. This is a mighty episode filled with all the still relevant tips from the last 99 episodes of The Podcasters' Studio. I relistened to every episode (that was painful) and culled all the tips that I thought would still be useful in 2017. There is plenty of good content left in each of the episodes, I don't include them all here but the tips on this episode are ones that you can take back to your own show right now and grow the show you already have or start the podcast you've always wanted. Most of the lessons in this episode where culled while listening to most of my back catalog of content. I scrubbed through all my past podcast episodes picking out those things that made me think I could of done it differently or want to change moving forward past episode 100. • TPS002 subscribe, listen and interact with the other shows in your niche. You don't have to publish a podcast to talk to your audience. Blog in between episodes. This is great for discovery in search where you can reach people who didn't know you had a podcast. Social is another great way to interact and inform between episodes. TPS does not have a consistent schedule but if you follow me (twitter, Instagram, YouTube) I do consistently produce content that would be on my show, that fits the audience who listens. • TPS003 - Skype for the Podcaster. Skype is still probably the best way to conduct a remote interview where your guest has limited ability to do anything more than answer your call. Can also call landlines. Not much has changed since this episode was published in April 2009, Skype as a podcast tool, has stood the test of time. For recording, Call Recorder is the easiest option and I like having it installed for instances where something more impromptu happens where you just want to start recording immediately. This is for the Mac and it's also the best way to record HD video which you can record on separate tracks (you get two separate audio and video files). For Windows, Pamela is probably the best equivalent. By the way, these are also the recommendations I made in 2009. Are there new options? Yes. Zencastr, Cast, Ringr are all cool options but each have their own quirks that don't make them as good of a choice as Skype at least for the newer podcaster. I also love Audio Hijack for Mac because it's so powerful with some many customizable options for more advanced recording or even just as a good recorder. Wear headphones, you and the guest;) • TPS004 - Blogging for the Podcaster - bottom line, have a website for your show with your own .com. This isn't only for branding, professionalism, and usability but most importantly for ownership. Build on your own site instead of someone else's but even if you just map your domain to a Tumblr page etc., at least you can move somewhere else in the future and your domain never changes. • TPS006 - Podcast Hosting - Don't host on your own site, especially shared hosting.
