While listening to a TED Talk, the speaker, Shonda Rhimes, shared something that I feel connects well with our focus on podcasting happiness...her “hum.” And no, I'm not referring to the little annoying floor noise we sometimes get in our audio recording... I feel that what she is describing is exactly what podcasting happiness is all about, getting in our zone and keeping our hum alive. In this episode I'll be sharing 3 ways to help you with recording your podcast, for "hum" sake. >> http://thepodcastplanner.com/ep3 Jump To What Was Discussed: 00:04 - Shonda Rhimes on “The Hum.” 02:26 - Why recording on a time crunch is a bad idea. 02:46 - How to time block for recording. 03:11 - Benefits of a pre-recording checklist. 03:55 - Activating your creative hum. 05:10 - Ira Glass’s pleasure and mission. 06:30 - Episode 4 teaser!

Walking into our podcast studio and knowing what we'll be recording always makes our hearts sing a little louder.

The word “success” is absolutely subjective. For this reason, let’s switch it with a word that we can relate to “happiness.” Podcasting happiness (or success) can look like paid sponsors, a large audience, a lot of download numbers, a raving following, high conversion rates of listeners into paying customers, being excited to record rather than feeling like it’s a chore/obligation or maybe a combination of all of the above. http://ThePodcastPlanner.com/podcast Jump To What Was Discussed: 00:48 - What podcasting success is. 01:23 - 5 Commonalities found in successful podcasters. 02:04 - What you can expect from this show. 03:03 - Episode 2 teaser! 03:13 - Important information about the show. 03:50 - Supporters of The Podcast Planner. 03:59 - What to do after the episode.
