Show Me Your Mic

For episode 20 I'm joined by Merlin Mann who likely needs little to no introduction if you've come this far.

Bill Wadman joins me for episode 19 and we spend a bit of time talking about his photography business and the gear he uses for that before getting into a discussion on his podcast - On Taking Pictures. We talk 5by5, live streaming, and workflow of producing a two person photography podcast.

Aaron Dowd is a professional drummer, web designer, and self-taught audio editor for the ShopTalk Show, the ATX Web Show, Execute, and Happy Monday (and more to come). We talk about some suggestions for editing a podcast, tips for EQ'ing guests, and the plugins Aaron uses in Logic to produce a good sounding podcast.

Daniel Jalkut, programmer and podcaster, joins me for episode 17. We talk about his goals for the perfect tweet, learning to appreciate your own voice, and talk about sponsorship and how to present it on a WordPress blog including a few plugins to recommend.

For episode 16 Ryan Irelan joins me for a discussion about Mijingo, his company that publishes training videos for the web and his work in setting up a studio at Happy Cog.

For episode 15 I turn the mic back on myself and invite Tim Smith to interview me about my setup here at SSKTN. We talk mics, mixers, live streaming, Skype and recording and just about everything in between.

For episode 14 I'm joined by producer/account manager and host on 5by5, Haddie Cooke. Haddie looks after everything from meeting with and booking sponsors, writing ad scripts, invoicing, setting up the room for recording. We cover all of that plus there's an appearance by Dan Benjamin acting as producer for Haddie on this episode.

Calvin came from traditional radio to hosting a podcast focusing on classic Americana music. We talked about how he uses Google Hangouts to record interviews, publishing to radio and the internet, and looking for syndication opportunities.

Paul Boag is my guest for episode 12. Paul cofounded Headscape, a digital agency based in the UK, and as part of their marketing efforts he started Boagworld - a web design and development podcast. We talked about his workflow of ideas for podcasts, recording interviews at conferences, transcribing podcast episodes, scaling back and scaling up, and running seasonal shows.

Andrew Hellmich is my guest for episode 11. He hosts the PhotobizXposed podcast and we talk about adding a podcast to your business, membership and premium extras for your show, thanking people who leave ratings on iTunes and the new to me recording software he uses for producing his shows.

Jeremy Fuksa joins me for episode 10 of Show Me Your Mic. We talk podcast networks since he's had a show on two big podcast networks, the trials of producing a video podcast, podcast appropriate sponsorship ideas and co-hosting a three person show called The Shakes on the Mule Radio Syndicate. Jeremy also took the opportunity to share a bit of the story behind his move from 5by5 to Mule Radio.

Cynthia Sanchez joins me to talk about podcasting about Pinterest. She produces a weekly podcast called Oh So Pinteresting and we talked about the benefits of using Pinterest in podcasting.

Dan Benjamin is one of the folks that really inspired me to get into podcasting and so it's an honor to have him on this show. We run the gamut of podcasting from his start on the Hivelogic podcast to where he is now, networks vs individual podcasts, getting unstuck when podcasting, taking care of sponsors and plenty of fun discussion on life as a podcaster.

Adam Clark joins me for episode 7 to talk about his new podcast, The Gently Mad, and where it came from. We talk about conducting an interview and why it matters if you do a podcast.

Shawn Blanc joins me to chat about the start and ending of the B&B Podcast, moving to the 5by5 network, and his unique workflow for his solo membership show.
