Yesterday we had a visit from Yada Yada who took us through everything we could ever need to know about producing podcasts. From preparation, scripting, interviewing to recording and editing – there was quite a lot to digest! However, the most important lesson I guess I learnt was to have fun with the format because, if you’re not, then why should your audience?
Anyway, the day progressed and we ended up producing a show each on subjects like Coffee, Heather Mills and the World Cup in 2013. Some took a news angle, others more entertainment. The shows were knocked up in less then two hours so they were pretty shoddy, but they did highlight the fact that, with a little careful planning (and the ability to wing it) you can produce something that someone will want to listen to. Which, at the end of the day, is what it’s all about!
Note: Check out this podcast they used to demonstrate what you can do with the format. It Rocks!
