Podcasts about pm17

Note: This is not a standard TPES episode - this is me sharing lots of cool info. Here's what we covered: End of year purchases: iMac Pro MixPre6 Pistol grip for my AT8035 shotgun mic Ralph M. Rivera purchased Bose QuietComfort 35 II headphones - bluetooth sounds great - very comfortable and light - can use them to talk on the phone too - $350 Configuration of the iMac Pro: 3.0GHz 10-core Intel Xeon W processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.5GHz 64GB 2666MHz DDR4 ECC memory 2TB SSD Radeon Pro Vega 56 with 8GB of HBM2 memory My plans for the iMacPro: Have one production space instead of a recording table and a mixing desk. Live streaming with video and several participants. Green screen. Webinars and screen captures. Move all plugins from current production computer to the new one. Sennheiser MKH416 would be nice. PES 2017 reflections: First 2 semesters of PES went extremely well. PM17 was good but working a booth made it a blur. As always, some clients came and went. 2018 plans: Podcast Movement - not sure if I’ll be doing the Microphone Test-Drive Booth again. Four Podcast Engineering School semesters starting Jan.9, Apr. 3, Jun. 26 and Sep. 18 Podfudge! My upcoming PechaKucha talk at Podfest: Title: EQ - What You Need to Know about Equalization Description: Learn the fundamentals of why, what and how to use EQ. Hear examples of good and bad audio. Audio examples: Too much low end, too much high end harshness, harsh esses, phone sound, road noise with uncompressed voice getting lost in it at times, too much reverb, huge dynamic range raw and then compressed How I processed Hardcore History episodes for my road trip: Why? Prius is a light car with more than average road noise. Batching in RX 6 and Sound Forge Pro Saved to mono first (to half the processing time for all subsequent steps), then leveling and loudness. - created awful sounding MP3’s. Should have done everything in RX 6 first, exported as a WAV, then opened in Sound Forge Pro and saved as a mono MP3. Podcasters’ Society: A truly awesome community Experience with the Pause Your Life podcast: Producer always worked in mono only and converted all music to mono. Suggestion: You should always leave stereo music stereo because it doesn't hurt anything and you can always render to mono. Fixing a harshly EQ’d voice - Fabfilter MB multiband compressor in the 3-10k range Thanks for listening!

Recap of Podcast Movement 2017 with Matt Neff of Entreneato | E016 This episode is a recap of Podcast Movement 2017 in Anaheim, CA. PM17 took place from August 23rd to 25th, 2017. I purchased my ticket at the beginning of the year and waited 8 long months to go to it! I traveled on my own and had no idea if anyone I knew would also be there. But on the very first day I ran into Matt Neff of the Entreneato podcast. Matt and I are both from Columbus, OH and we met a few months back at the Columbus Podcasters Meetup. It was the first time for both of us to attend the conference and I wanted to share our experiences and thoughts from Podcast Movement. Not only did we learn a lot of new things about podcasting, I also learned about a new social media tool that Matt used for the conference. You'll have to tune in to find out what it is! Be sure to check out Matt's Entreneato podcast. And if you or anyone you know has a podcast and is also in Columbus, Ohio, check out ColumbusPodcasts.com and submit your show so I can add it to the website.

Matt Sutton worked with me in 2013 and 2014. On my trip home from Podcast Movement, we went to lunch.... and made a podcast at the same time. Matt Sutton is the afternoon host at Z95 in Vancouver. I got off the play just before 11am and we went to hit the Wicklow Pub where I pulled out my recorder and announced we were going to be doing a podcast. He didn't think it was for real. It was. We spent our time talking about the positives, perils and pitfalls of both broadcast and podcast. The podcast is sponsored by Promosuite. http://www.promosuite.com/soundoff Feel free to take our survey - http://survey.podtrac.com/start-survey.aspx?pubid=c-pwg3hNJ1tz&ver=standard

I'm back from podcast movement, and I had a blast. I also have insights from one of the hardest assignments I've done in a long time. My Impression of Podcast Movement 2017 Nothing cooler than being picked up at that airport by fellow podcasters Marcus Couch from WordPress Plugins A to Z. We haven't seen each other face to face in about 10 years. We cranked some cool metal on the way to the Marriot and it was like old times. Then I get the then Marriot and I get to meet my co-host Jim Collison from the Average Guy network, and I go over to his table and there sits the one and only Steve Stewart and Mike Dell. So for me, the Summar Camp aspect of Podcast Movement is in full effect. The coolest line I heard all week was relayed by Paul Colligan (another person' I've known for 10+ years) and it came from a Dan Klass session. Dan (who is a former comedian) shared how often at comedy clubs you will have multiple comedians perform in an evening - and yet they all use the same microphone. The point? It's not about the tech. I roomed with Erik K Johnson from podcasttalentcoach.com, and he had stated that it would be awesome if he could meet a web developer who needed help with his podcast, as he was a podcast consultant who needed help with his website. I get into the elevator, introduce myself to everyone in the elevator and it turns out that one of the people is a web designer thinking of starting a podcast. When we get out of the elevator, on of the first people who see is Erik. I felt like I was in a Christmas movie and it was going to start to snow. I saw Harry Durran from Podcast Junkies and Dr. Ryan Gray who has given up his practice to do podcasting full time and Harry introduces me to Natalie Jennings who happens to be taking head shots at a reasonable price. She shows me a few samples of people, and I'm hooked. I can't wait to see how they turn out. The few peaks I saw of what she did was amazing. See her at http://www.nataliechampajennings.com/ I found out in Paul Colligan's session that if you are in Google Play Music, you are also on the Google Home portable audio speaker. I also know of a cool double secret project that is going to make recording double-enders via a browser very cool. I was on a panel with Ray Ortega, Daniel J. Lewis, and Addy Saucedo on what is inside an RSS. This was an insanely nerdy topic, but due to the recent Apple announcements we had some interested parties and I thought we pulled it off well. The bonus is I got to hang out with some cool friends. The Coolest Thing I Saw At Podcast Movement 2017 While there were tons of great sessions at PM17, as a vendor (I work for Libsyn.com - use the coupon code sopfree to get a free month) I don't get to attend any sessions. I did see something that was way cool. I met Alissa Daire of the Maximize Your Strengths show. I see her the first night, and she is in a group of people and we get talking about Strengths Finder, and she becomes a ping pong ball bouncing off the ceiling with energy. She's super nice, and it was great to catch up with her as I had met her last year. The next night, I'm standing at the Luau event, and here she comes. She explains how "I'm done." She's tired (as many people are), and she is considerably less energetic. Pat Flynn walks over, he's very witty and a super nice guy. Then the subject changes to strengths finder results, and it was like watching a time release video of a flower blooming. Her energy came back, her smile came back, her body language completely changed. It was amazing to watch. I saw this a few more times. It's late, and people have had a few adult beverages, then I ask them about their show, and BOOM, the body language picks up, the eyes are open a bit wider, the voice is a little louder. Later, Paris from Gamertag Radio got star struck when Cara Santa Maria from the Skeptics Guide to the Universe walks by. I offered to go bring her over. He got shy, so I did my best Steve Austin (the six million dollar man, not the wrestler) imitation across the showroom floor. I had no idea she was an Emmy Award winning journalist. I bring her over and embarrass Paris. Danny Peña is there, Jim Collison is there, and the minute Paris explained that he really did listen to her show the body language changed.  For me, I think of it as being in your "first impression" mode and then finding out that you're among family. For the Best Content - Put a Time Frame On it I spoke about how I got lucky to be able to induct Dan Klass from the Bitterest Pill into the Academy of Podcasters Hall of Fame. The presentation should last three minutes. I had hoped that three minutes would be longer than I thought. I wrote out my first draft. It had some bits about history and podcasting in 2005. It had examples of how the show made me feel. I made a joke about how the more I talk about his show, the more I sound like a stalker. I listed his accomplishments. I started the stopwatch and went into the presentation, about half what through I glanced at my phone and I was already at 5 and a half minutes. Oh boy...... What Was the Purpose of This Presentation? I had to go back and ask myself, what was the purpose of this presentation? The purpose was for the person sitting in row 7 who had been podcasting since 2015 and had no idea who Dan Klass was. It wasn't about me. It wasn't about being funny. I was about answering the question, "Why is Dan Klass in the Academy of Podcasters Hall of Fame." For me, this was a big opportunity, on a big stage, and I didn't want to mess it up for myself, or Dan. It was time to edit. Anything about me went out the door. The history lesson of iriver portable players and synchronization cables went up in smoke. Most of the stories I had about Dan might not go over if you didn't listen to his show. Only the things that HAD to be said would stay. I listed his accomplishments. I thought of the funniest thing I had heard on his show (he referred to his two-year-old daughter as Princess Tirade for quite some time), and the most memorable episode (of ALL podcasting) is episode 102 Mass Murder where he talks about what it's like when your Uncle is murdered, and you're walking past TV cameras escorting your mother to the funeral. It's at the end, I highly suggest you listen to it. I had pointed out that Dan was one of the first to try premium podcasting (this was YEARS before Patreon) and it didn't work well. That was negative, so I just pointed out that he was a pioneer and not afraid to try new things. I HAD TO POINT OUT, that Dan had been sharing stories a DECADE before Serial was on the scene. Dan was creating engaging stories in a box in his garage, and he did it without a team of 19 people. That had to stay. To make it entertaining, I thought of throwing in some old Baptist preacher tricks of getting people to repeat words. This came to me in the shower. It would make me stand out, but I was deeply worried about being too entertaining (again, this was all about Dan). Looking back, that was a dumb thought (you're not going to outshine Dan Klass). Just Because There Are No Time Limits in Podcasting Doesn't Mean There Shouldn't Be To fine tune my presentation I had to: Identify my audience Identify the purpose Make it entertaining I know some of us want to record it and publish it. I truly, always believe a podcast can benefit from editing. This is especially true if you are doing interviews. Because of My Podcast Devin Caroll Devin from the Big Picture Retirement podcast shares how he didn't' want to start a podcast but sure is glad he did. He just released episode 34, and his co-host has already billed $10,000, and Devin has billed $6,000 and has a client who will bring in $20,000. I bet you might think, they have a huge audience, right? Nope, according to Devin, they are averaging 534 downloads an episode.

We wander the halls of Podcast Movement 2017 in Anaheim. I provide a few takeaways of things I have learned so far, plus catch up with some of the notables who have been on our podcast before, or are starting a new podcast shortly.

Spreaker Live Show #114 for May 31st, 2017Show Today:-Are Flaws and Mistakes, Ok to leave in your show?-Podcast Suicide: 5 Errors to Avoid-Survey shows: Many podcast listeners are switching away from radio-Is something big happening to MP3 audio file format?-Is Radio Old and Boring? Is that fair and accurate about radio?-Listener CommentsShow Duration: 62 minutesHost: Rob Greenlee, Head of Content, Spreaker @robgreenlee - rob(at)spreaker(dotcom)Co-Host: Alex Exum, Host of “The Exum Experience Podcast” on SpreakerAre Flaws and Mistakes, is it Ok to leave in your show?Gail Nobles“Talk about flaws and mistakes. We are taught that we have to be perfect in recording. Some mistakes are not that noticeable. There are people that pay attention to every little thing so that they can make negative comments. Everyone may not like your show, but some people will.”-Yes, some flaws and mistakes are ok - little things like segment transition errors, ums and ahhs, audio silences, light backgrounds sounds are ok-Not ok, big variation in volume levels, painful to hear humming and audio quality and loud background sounds.-Audio recordings that don’t fit the content flow or topic that are part of the show Blog.Spreaker.com: Podcast Suicide: 5 Errors to Avoid1) Refusing to recognize your target audienceWhile keeping a broad appeal is good, not targeting a specific bracket is like shooting yourself in the foot. It’s like refusing to recognize that you’re speaking to actual listeners, not just to thin air.Start with the very basics: who is your model listener?2)Not having a pre-launch marketing planThis is no time to be modest. At the very beginning, you have got to be your very own cheerleader – cos if you don’t cheer, who will?3)Not bothering to submit to iTunesMaybe you just haven’t got round to it yet. Maybe you are trying an alternative podcatcher service. But there’s no denying that the first place where listeners seek out podcasts is iTunes so no submitting yours amounts to podcast suicide.4)Messing up your RSS feedThe magic touch of podcasting lies in the seamless way information syncs up, like a smooth dive into a pool. This is thanks to your RSS feed. Messing that up, well, it’s tantamount to a belly-flop: jarring and kinda cringe-worthy5)Uploading your podcast directly onto your websiteIt’s nice to keep everything in one place, but that’s no reason for uploading your podcast files onto the same server as your website. First of all, hosting your podcast on your site will be a strain on your bandwidth and therefore make your website really slow.Many podcast listeners are switching away from radioRadio marketing and research company Nuvoodoo offered new research on podcasting. Two recent surveys about podcast listenership. For the overall population, 9.5% of respondents spend at least one hour a day listening to podcasts. Certain demographics reported heavier use of podcasts, most notably men aged 25-34 with 21.7% listening daily for at least an hour. The other top groups with at least an hour time spent listening were men aged 35-44 at 14.2% and men aged 18-24 at 12.9%.According to the participants, the shift to more podcast listening is coming from terrestrial radio. Two-thirds (66.4%) said they listen to less FM radio since they’ve been listening to podcasts. Personal music was the second most-common response at 39.4%, followed by AM radio at 37.9%. Sirius XM has also lost listeners to podcasts, posting 29.7%.The trend of increased podcast listening echoed arcs seen in the latest Infinite Dial results. The podcast audience is still growing, and although it’s a small share of overall audio now, the dedication level is high among people who like the format.-Is something big happening to MP3 audio file format?https://www.engadget.com/2017/05/12/mp3-is-dead-long-live-aac/Reports of the MP3's death have been greatly exaggerated. Earlier this month, one of the patent holders for the audio file type, the German technology institute Fraunhofer, announced that in April it had allowed its patents to expire.Fraunhofer releasing its patents doesn’t mean MP3s will cease to exist, though — it simply means the ubiquitous file type has been released into the wild, making it easier for developers who had previously been unable to support the file type to now go forth and use the file extension any way they want.-So which is it — are MP3s DOA, or finally free?The answer is kind of complicated. Sure, the MP3 isn’t what it used to be — an inescapable, ubiquitous part of the digital musical landscape — but it’s also not going anywhere.-Be free, MP3, be freeThe expiration of Fraunhofer’s patents means that as of April, the MP3 is no longer tethered to the host of encoding licenses that hindered its development since the first patent was filed in 1987. -So why declare the format dead: AAC?Fraunhofer Institute owns patents on another file format that is generally considered to be better — the AAC file, or Advanced Audio Codec. YouTube has plenty of videos attempting to audibly illustrate the difference between the sound quality of an MP3 file and an AAC, but the gist is that AAC files are generally thought to sound better at lower compression rates, or bitrates. Compared with a standard MP3 file, an AAC file sounds sharper and takes up less space on your computer.In actuality, there are already several other file formats, notably FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, and Opus, that don’t come with the same licensing restrictions but do offer the same amount of quality as an AAC. But there are also plenty of other reasons why it’s a bit silly to declare the MP3 in its current state to be dead, and they all boil down to two facts: The MP3 is everywhere — and as digital audio formats go, it’s still pretty great. Fraunhofer’s director wants it to be considered the “de facto standard” file format we should be using.-Like other classic file formats before them, MP3s are here to stayFor most people, however, if you’re not doing a lot of deep sound editing and aren’t a hardcore audiophile, an MP3 is just fine.In podcasting over 90 percent are MP3, and within the most popular 500 podcasts, 99 percent are MP3.Compares the MP3 to another classic file extension that’s shaped the way we think about the internet — the JPEG:MP3 is very old, but it’s the same age as JPEG, which has also long since been surpassed in quality by newer formats. JPEG is still ubiquitous ... because it’s good enough and supported everywhere, making it the most pragmatic choice most of the time.In other words, most of us are going to keep using the MP3 for the same reason we still save images as JPEGs: The quality is fine for our purposes, it’s supported on all the software we use, and we’re used to it. Why wouldn’t we keep using it?The MP3 is almost certainly here to stay.Is Radio Old and Boring? Is that fair and accurate about radio?http://jacobsmedia.com/attention-tech-entertainment-writers-enough-already/Listener Comments:Dave KanyanAm I using proper etiquette? I don't want to piss people off when I tag them that may not want to be bothered with being associated with my show. So far no one has complained.Dave Kanyan/Question of the week. When I send out a tweet about my show I like to tag as many people as Twitter will allow. So I've added @robgreenlee and also @spreaker at the same time on certain Tweets. Who sees the @spreaker tag? Is that Overkill? Are you okay when we tag you? Maybe one show you can get a guest and discuss Twitter etiquette? I find that when I add a pic or two to my Tweets I can add more tags/names to the tweet.Dave KanyanGlad you are enjoying my breather. No royalties expected. Breathe free, breathe away. A gift to the community. I liked your interview with Dan Franks. I'm gonna re-write the letter I sent you about PM17 and send it to him. I'm curious to see how he responds. I also enjoyed Andrew Allemann from podcastguests.com. When I get a chance I'll sign up for the guest available part and later on when I do interviews I'll sign up to request guests. I like the free aspect of it. I like the interviews and to hear about things that can directly affect my Dumbcast. I'm looking forward to hearing episode #114 on demand.

 This episode continues to explain the RICH Life Framework.  Today    Newsflash: Adding a new segment to the show, occasionally we'll be sharing a newsflash or interesting tip that applies to all of us.   Today's newsflash is, the good people at Podcast Movement mentioned me and Think Enriched, as one of 10 women you should know at PM17. See the post here. Speak the Lingo: Today's Leadership Lingo Term: Network Too many of us are concerned to start an income stream because, "I don't want to be too salesy..." Or, "I don't know anyone." Oh please.  Consider the people you see at: school drop off kids' activities the gym church groups the same checker at the grocery store that is so friendly neighbors Use your skills and gently reach out to those in your daily routine.  Those tiny conversations build the seed of trust with others.   This is how you begin to plant the seeds of your  network. Habits of Excellence: This week's Habit of Excellence: The Power Nap. WebMD shares why a power nap is more effective than caffeine.  When's the last time you've had a power nap? 20-minute nap :(Stage 2 nap) is good for alertness & motor learning skills like typing and playing the piano. 30 to 60-minute naps helps decision-making skills, vocabulary memorization and direction recall. 60 to 90-minute naps allow you to make new brain connection and creative problem solving. How to Nap.  Yes, really.  We need to re-learn to energize ourselves: Be consistent. Keep a napping schedule.  (1 to 3pm is prime time.) Go dark. Nap in a dark room if you can. Stay warm. Use a blanket, as your body temp drops while you snooze. Today's focus: Here's how to have happy, successful business relationships. Be genuinely interested. Learn about them because it's fun. Unexpected surprises. The best way to grow a new business relationship is to plant the seed. Next time you are working to create a solid business relationship, remember the acronym PLANT.  What is PLANT?  Simply, it is this: P: PLAN. "When you don't know where you are headed, any path will take you there."   L: LISTEN. The best networkers know more about others.  Show that you are listening (active listening skills.)  Ask smart questions.   A: AUTHENTIC. Let people know that who you are at the dinner table is who you are in the office.  Let them see you. N: NEED.  Watch for needs that you can fill.  We're not talking money, here.  Small needs that pop up. T: TRUST. Trust is credit which builds over TIME.  You need to consistently be working on the first four skills to build that trust.   A few ways to incorporate the PLANT strategy: Listen more intently. Fill a need that you can.   Surprise people along the way. Turn a daily acquaintance into a business colleague.      You can now start your own podcast and get your first two months of hosting.  Go to libsyn.com/amy for your discount code.

This week we are excited to be discussing the 2017 Academy of Podcasters Hall of Fame nominations, and the PM17 Speaker Submissions deadline next week.

This week we are excited to be discussing the 2017 Academy of Podcasters Hall of Fame nominations, and the PM17 Speaker Submissions deadline next week.

From the time I was in junior high, I had a "side hustle," though that term hadn't been invented yet. First it was a paper route. Then a job at a shoe store. Then I turned my love for architecture into a drafting business. My high school actually paid me to skip study hall to go draw floor plans of the various buildings in our district. In college, I picked up radio...and then voiceover and production gigs...and, most recently, public address jobs at sporting events. It's actually a pretty sweet deal to get paid for your hobbies. Which certainly can't be said for golf or fishing. Dan Franks can relate. From building websites to podcast creation, Dan has frequently supplemented his job as a CPA with something technology-related.  And then in 2014, Dan Franks turned his "side hustle" into Podcast Movement...the biggest, baddest podcasting conference in the world. He's such a show off. Dan Franks is the co-founder of Podcast Movement, a conference for podcasters, by podcasters which expects 2,000 attendees at PM17 in Anaheim this year. Dan is also the business manager at Midroll, which helps great advertisers meet great podcasts. SHOW NOTES: 1:27 - What do Dan's days at Midroll and Podcast Movement consist of? 3:01 - Dan's worst interview ever was so bad, that it never even occurred! 8:31 - To record crystal-clear, long-distance interviews...check out RINGR for free. 9:34 - How do you optimize your workflow without coming across as a robot or impersonal? 12:07 - Learn how building websites in middle school turned Dan into the person he is today. 13:12 - The differences between a creator and a consumer. 14:55 - Connect with Dan online by going to his website. And don't forget to signup for Podcast Movement!
