Who else is thinking about starting a Podcast this year?

Me and two of my friends are wanting to start and we seem to be very serious about it. I’m watching this video and going to order a book just to be even more educated on podcasting. Wish us luck. And I wish all of you look and I hope that each and everyone of you have great success broadcasting

Started a podcast this month and it will be 1 month old on the 11th of June. I have 3 episodes already and working on my 4th. Thank you for the tips it will help me do better.

Pretty thorough explanation. Also pretty encouraging to know we don't need one million dollar equipment to start a Podcast.

Love podcasting because of saving a lot of time with learning when I'm exercising, training, driving, walking with my dogs. All brands should consider such a format in their content marketing strategies.

It’s all about the mic, proximity, and audio engineering.

Thanks so much for the tips. I just tuned 50 and I’ve always wanted to have a career in radio but it never worked out so now that I’m entering the 2nd half of my life I’m gonna just go for it. ☺️ hopefully I won’t over think this too much

I love that Think Media's go to gear is always use what you got. They make things practical.

Think media took my KZfaq CHANNEL by the hand and took it to a whole new level. Thanks 🙏

I started one this year and videos like this helped me so much ! Great video Think Media ! Keep up the good work 👏

i just love how in 8 minutes she made understand what a podcast is and how you begin with it. She clearly deserves a subscribe :)

The way you touch your fingers and your arm is stuck to your body, It makes you seem nervous I would recommend for you to move your arm freely and get it away from your body that would make you seem more confident and trustworthy, But the way you talk and share your information Is super super great!! wish you all luck❤❤❤

I am married with 3 older children (ages 15 to 22), and we are talking about starting a family podcast. To start, we are looking at cheap ways to turn an extra bedroom into a studio. We have some higher level types of USB microphones, and some good computers with editing software. Working on sound treating, etc.

I'm an artist and I'm looking to start recording and sharing videos of me creating my art, etc... I'm not tech savvy and trying to figure out the best equipment, set up, etc... seems really daunting to me. I just found your videos today and I'm hoping this will finally give me the confidence to make this leap. Thank you for the videos!

I def get all the info I can from different podcasters , I started my podcast a few months ago and figured out my own recipe of making it easier for myself because, it is a lot of work lol

Thank you Think Media, your channel just give massive value to creators every single day.

Congratulations 🎊 Looking forward to this new podcast 🙌

iPhone headphone mics are actually amazing at background noise cancellation. I used them for motorcycle bike to bike communications and they were crystal clear

This s the clearest podcast explanation video ever. Thank you.

Love this! and yes, starting your own podcast is HUGE. But I ALSO think that doing interviews on OTHER people's podcasts can get you even bigger results! Think about it...big exposure, brand building, credibility by being interviewed by another thought leader/influencer. It's the fastest path to building your authority. It's why my team built out a whole program teaching entrepreneurs how to land those interviews.

Thank you Think Media, you guys inspired me to start my own KZfaq channel about personal growth and mental health!🥰

Absolutely loved this video super educational. As a person that has no knowledge about podcast, I definitely feel ready to start after watching!

Heather, thank you SO much. I must have been through at least 20 something videos before coming across yours. You made podcasting as easy as I needed it to be, for me. Audacity and Buzzsprout. THANK YOU!!!

Just some feedback on this video. Excellent overall, but when mentioning Buzzsprout (which I never heard of because I’m a newbie) there was nothing on the screen to show the URL or even a shot of the Buzzsprout home page to identify the site. Watching on my firetv, I couldn’t make out what the host was saying 100% so I wound up coming to the app to see what the website was. Just a little thing, and just a suggestion. This video was awesome!

I needed this please continue making more. I was looking at Spotify’s solution, what are your thoughts on that?

Thank you I’ve watched so many videos and still didn’t know how to get started. This was so easy to understand

I’m planning to start one this year it will be a Spanglish just need the right people.

great education in a short amount of time, greatly appreciated

I am watching this because I am starting a podcast on the topic of leadership sharing my experience working in the criminal justice system. I hope to connect with you guys and bring an update in few months. Good luck everyone trying to build something.

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU AND YOUR SUPPORT SYSTEM DO ON KZfaq. YOU'RE ONE OF MY 100'S OF INSPIRATIONS THAT HELPED ME TO FINALLY CREATE A KZfaq CHANNEL.

I’ll be starting my podcast soon God willing.

I will definitely be starting my podcast soon! I’m so excited about it!

Thanks for the information! I've been wanting to do a podcast and make it like story night on the radio when I was growing up. This is going to be fun!

Great information. Most podcasts fail because of the subject matter. Most think you press record and start talking but it is actually not that easy or straight forward. If on your own, write a script, rewrite, then practice many times out loud. hitting record and to start talking with no idea but "I am an expert in this topic so I will be ok" is always a disaster. Many times over the years I have had experts in their field turn up and do none of the prep work I asked. Most ended up being abandoned. One person spend 2 hours just trying to say their name. The pressing of the record button or on the camera and the red light comes on, commonly freezes people. I now spend a lot of time beforehand acclimatizing them to the studio with small talk to relax them. When having 2 or more in the podcast, have the questions agreed in advance and give the questions to the participant in advance so they know what to say and have good answered prepared.. Its a podcast, not an interrogation. In todays fast consumption society, so many think that just having a recording device, no matter how basic, makes them a "professional". Successful podcasting is extremely difficult and a lot of work goes into it, but the prep work makes it look easy, which is the purpose. I have a Msc and Phd in digital content and learning development and I have often been "told" in talks and lectures that "why do I need to get any experience or qualifications, when I can go onto KZfaq and learn everything you know in a week....."

That will definitely be my next step as soon as my KZfaq channel has taken off

Thanks for this. Great video - helpful. I now feel ready to get started!

the only video i needed for all my podcast questions! favourite channel

Podcasting is such a good idea in 2021! 💥 Not for me, though. I have to concentrate on growing my YT channel first 😉 Although people said I have a soothing voice hahaha

I’m doing research for my latest novel. I needed a quick but thorough explanation on how podcasts work. This was perfect. Thank you!

Thanks for the tips! I can’t wait to launch my podcast on personal development and healthy relationships. In the meantime, I’m focused on growing my KZfaq channel. 😊

Awesome video. Thanks for the breakdown. Have a wonderful day. 👍

This is so helpful. You have eased my anxiety about finally taking a leap into this world…Many thanks!!!

1:11 gear: gotta sound good! 1:54 lav mic or Samson Q2U desk mic

Thank you so much for amazing video! Keep it up and keep Shining 🌟

The journey of having your own podcast can be highly rewarding! Great insights!

I use my phone headphones/mic a lot as a lapel mic and have wrapped a bit of foam around it to make a pretty effective wind muffler. By doing this carefully it's unobtrusive and allows me to make much better voice recordings in the outdoors.

This is so helpful! Thank you so much Heather!!!

Mega like! 👍This exactly what I needed to start my own. Thnx!

Simple and straightforward, thanks team! Let's just get started

Thank you!!!! this video was great!! i know ive always wanted to do something recording wise but I felt like youtube wasnt really my thing. . . until i learned about podcasting and thought that it would be worth a shot!! thanks for helping so many people get started!

WoW! that was fantastic, you really made everything so simple for a 65year old getting into podcasting. Thanks a mill.

Thanks much Think Media! You're a big help to us small youtubers.

Righteous outcast!! Coming soon near a KZfaq near you lol

I love how straight to the point it is & how simple you made it

Good advice,thank you!

Happy to get help with this. Though I wish you guys could diversify the smartphone option some of us are proud android users, so some options on android, please. 😊😊Thanks for the tutorial much 😍

I started my podcast last year. its not the best but im gonna get better. I just wanted to start and i wanted to do a video podcast for added effect. i got big ideas when I get more money to invest myself. thank you think media for the info

I am just starting out with mine, I am going to have a video and audio podcast. Just in the process of editing it together.

Thank you for making this video! Very helpful for someone who isn't the most tech savvy. I appreciate y'all.

Great tips! One question I have...how easy is it to transfer podcast hosting sites? For example, moving from Libsyn to Buzzsprout?

I use Anchor just upload and they do all the work for you and you get paid

That's really incredible work love this content ❤️❤️

how do you do an intro for the podcast? I have never done one I listen to them and most have an into. Thank you for this - it was short, precise and clear.

since u had shure mv7 as a part of thumbnail i taught it has some part in the video but my expectation crashed but i have u say that the thumbnail is spot on

Great information. I'm learning a lot here. Thanks

Love it! I had a similar video on how to do it on zoom! Great one! Happy new year!

Thank you so much! I’m actually starting my podcast and this helped me a whole LOT!

thanx for this one as well, here's a question: what about copyrights for using music as your content? you can have brilliant ideas but then you get too complicated challenges that might turn you off from the whole idea to start your podcast.

Thank you for the tips, as always! I have really been considering doing a podcast, so this helped a TON!

Thank you all so much for all of the value in this video!

This was really helpful to start my podcast. Thank you!

I am wishing everyone to get the best in 2021! 🎉🎊

Thank you Think Media. Always give great information especially for me I just starting. I learn a lot.

This video was awesome, super informational. I am looking into starting a podcast discussing social and political issues, and this video definitely gave me the confidence to jump right in!

I think you need to be diversifying more with specific tips and apps for both apple & android devices.

Thanks! This was very helpful!

Such a great video

Really appreciate this info! Best wishes, everyone!

Thank you! Just starting out. Do you have a video specifically for those of us who just want to audio podcast, and no video? Thanks!

PODCAST FOR THE WIN

Another informative video from one of my fave channels! Thank you, Think Media!

Dopeeeeee video. Amazing, thank u so much!

So if I'm using Audacity, of course it captures and allows me to edit my audio, but where does my video come into play? If I'm using a laptop with my microphone plugged in, do I also plug my Sony camera into the computer as well? Secondly, after editing my audio, how do I match it with the video?

The day you recorded this KZfaq Video on Jan 7th is my birthday!!!! It's a sign I should begin my podcast...

I am using my iPhone to record it as a video and iMovie to edit. I just export it as audio.

Definitely thinking about starting a sports podcast

Thanks, Heather...SMILE!!!

Great breakdown down 💯💪🏽

What basic equipment would you recommend for zoom calls? Basically, we have 2 people on one PC (me and an elderly family member, who is hard to hear) with another person on the other end, like a doctor. Would 2 Blackwire C5220 headsets for us do the trick? How do we connect and manage on our 1 PC to talk to another person on zoom? Or do we need a base Yeti? Of course, for a family member to hear better a headset would work, but I would not be able to hear the person on the other end of the zoom.

Hey, how about a video on how to distribute content between video and podcast? What and how much content goes into the video and what and how much into the podcast? Love to you guys. You're content is amazing!

Thank you! This was so easy to understand!! I’m starting:)

this is very encouraging... but also, I am so scared to start one I dont really know what it is exactly but I am so scared.

thanks for this video, since in my family we have two of theese cameras i want to ask you if the canon eos 2000d is enough to start a videopodcast with 4 people talking around a table? i' ve heard this camera is not good for videos but i actually know very little about photo and video. Thank you very much 😀

this helped so much! the think podcast is also my fav. really appreciate all that your team creates! :)

Can you make a video on How to connect to celebs to Interview on your podcast ?

Thanks for this video! I'm thinking about starting a podcast this year😬

As usual such outstanding information. I’m just gonna go and press record. Thanks

Me and my wife will be debuting our podcast, The Healthy Debate w/ Alina & Rashid in middle of May…we are excited and are talking about topics that will help people navigate this crazy life and also touching on the uncomfortable topics…feel free to tune in…the channel is already up and we go live May 15th

Yes I would like to do a paranormal podcast since I run a ghost team in England
