Ask the Podcast Coach

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2383476/fan_mail/new">Send us feedback/questions via Text</a>In this episode of Ask the Podcast Coach, Dave and Jim dive deep into one of the least sexy—but most critical—parts of podcasting: how you store, sync, and back up your files without losing your mind (or your episodes). They talk through practical strategies for using local drives and cloud services like <a href='https://supportthisshow.com/dropbox'>Dropbox</a>, iCloud, <a href='https://supportthisshow.com/idrive'>iDrive</a>, <a href='https://supportthisshow.com/backblaze'>Backblaze</a>, and more; the crucial difference between sync and backup; and how to design a file workflow that actually fits how you podcast. Along the way, they veer into tech nostalgia (AOL, Windows Vista, DVDs), debate whether podcasting is “at the beginning of the end,” and tackle tricky topics like bad interviews, ad-heavy networks, and why not every conversation—or phone call—needs to be a podcast.Sponsors: <a href='https://www.podcastbranding.co/?utm_source=atpc&utm_medium=shownotes'>PodcastBranding.co</a> - They see you before they hear you <a href='https://www.basedonatruestorypodcast.com/?utm_source=atpc&utm_medium=shownotes'>Basedonastruestorypodcast.com</a> - Comparing Hollywood with History?<a href='https://youtube.com/live/l0NgoF2wQ_A'>Video Version </a>(unedited)Mentioned In This EpisodeSchool of Podcasting <a href='https://www.schoolofpodcasting.com/join'>https://www.schoolofpodcasting.com/join</a>Podpage <a href='http://www.trypodpage.com/'>http://www.trypodpage.com</a>Home Gadget Geeks <a href='http://www.theaverageguy.tv/'>http://www.theaverageguy.tv</a><a href='https://wwww.podcasthotseat.com/'>Podcast Hot Seat</a><a href='https://supportthisshow.com/idrive'>iDrive</a><a href='https://supportthisshow.com/dropbox'>Dropbox</a>Featured Supporters: Jill and Alison from the Keep the Flame Alive Podcast.

We also devoted significant attention to troubleshooting podcast recording setups—comparing platforms like Zoom, StreamYard, Boomcaster, and Riverside, along with the pros and cons of “all-in-one” podcast solutions versus a tailored workflow of specialized tools.

Why Your Podcast Chair Matters More Than Your Microphone

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2383476/fan_mail/new">Send us feedback/questions via Text</a>Hey there, Dave Jackson here! In this episode, Jim Collison and I dove deep into some hot topics in podcasting and audio media. We kicked things off with a look at the latest Edison Research findings showing that, for the first time, more time is spent listening to podcasts than to AM/FM radio for spoken word audio. We reminisced about the evolution of radio, the challenges of finding a working radio today, the shift of talk and sports content to podcasts, and how technology keeps changing the game.We also had fun nostalgia moments: remembering AM static, Headbanger's Ball, MTV catchphrases, and what really happened to music videos. Advertising in podcasting got a thorough critique—how much is too much, what makes ads skip-worthy or valuable, and what lessons we can take from radio and even the Super Bowl.Another lively discussion came up around video podcasting. We debated YouTube versus distributing video everywhere, addressed anti-YouTube sentiments, and reminded listeners that audio is still king for a lot of people. I also shared some behind-the-scenes tech workflows, like how I use Tella, Hindenburg, and Podchapters, how to move sites to Podpage, and why no tool does it all (yet).Big philosophical questions popped up too: What would actually "kill" podcasting? Is it too many bad ads, a decline in content quality, or moving away from RSS? Or, is podcasting simply evolving, and are our definitions (or nostalgia) holding us back? Randy Black called in with a great riff on what "remarkable content" really means—it can be good or bad. We wrapped up by agreeing that, at the end of the day, success in podcasting comes from making meaningful shows for your audience and being authentic.Sponsors: <a href='https://www.podcastbranding.co/?utm_source=atpc&utm_medium=shownotes'>PodcastBranding.co</a> - They see you before they hear you <a href='https://www.basedonatruestorypodcast.com/?utm_source=atpc&utm_medium=shownotes'>Basedonastruestorypodcast.com</a> - Comparing Hollywood with History?<a href='https://youtube.com/live/UugjC7bj38A'>Video Version </a>(unedited)Mentioned In This EpisodeSchool of Podcasting <a href='https://www.schoolofpodcasting.com/join'>https://www.schoolofpodcasting.com/join</a>Podpage <a href='http://www.trypodpage.com/'>http://www.trypodpage.com</a>Home Gadget Geeks <a href='http://www.theaverageguy.tv/'>http://www.theaverageguy.tv</a><a href='https://wwww.podcasthotseat.com/'>Podcast Hot Seat</a>Featured Supporters: Jill and Alison from the Keep the Flame Alive Podcast.
