Oh, that's a great problem to have Faiz! More topics than not enough...My suggestion is to talk about ONE TOPIC per episode and spread the "few topic" ones into individual ones. Just go DEEPER into those topics individually! Good luck! 😉
I recently recorded my first ever podcast and I think my biggest struggle is to keep up the same level of excitement in my voice as I go through the script xD (I also noticed that I need to make notes on when to pause and breathe cause otherwise the sentence structure is screwed up)
Thank you for this video! The number one thing I struggle with is trying to stick to a theme. I have had so much varied experiences in my life and I want to share so much but I’m not sure if each episode will carry the other. ☺️
Maybe each season you can focus on a different theme. Talk about that theme all season long. That way you’re sharing all of your various experiences as it pertains to your podcast mission/audience. Hope this helps.
I’ve gone back and forth. I have a sports podcast that’s stat-heavy (niche audience, I know). I tried to wing my first episode, but I couldn’t keep the numbers straight. An outline worked ok, but I had to edit a lot of errors and that kind of thing. Around my 3rd or 4th episode, I went to a script and things got a lot smoother. I can still embellish/deviate because I’m not just straight reading, but it helped. Now that I have more reps under my belt and am more comfortable, I think I could go back to the outline as long as I have the numbers right at my disposal. I’ve started doing a video preview, but I’m not ready to do a full pod on camera yet, except for those cases where I do have a guest interview. That’s fine, as that’s a conversation. I feel totally comfortable in that scenario.
This is a really helpful video- information that I didn't know I needed nor knew was out there. One of the areas I'm struggling with is that telling one experience about suicide loss (my podcast topic) doesn't always make sense without background info on another experience. I hate being a cringy creator who pushes the "give me attention if you want to hear more" crap. Because those creators never get another second of my time, ans I refuse to be that guy. I struggle to find balance in separating my episodes while still getting my points across. For example, one episode is about how it can be hard to move out of a home in which a loved one ended their life. But part of why it was hard for me was because that was the one place I'd called home... growing up, I was tossed from house to house. It wasn't until I lived with a friend that I went "This is what home is supposed to feel like." In that episode, I I want to touch on the feelings of leaving that loved one behind when we move, or the part of denial when we think "But they'll come back and not know where I went." That's one example of a topic that has important context info that's needed for listeners to understand my experience as well as being able to relate.
Thank you for all of the great insight into your podcast topic. There are a few ways to approach wanting to tell a story and keeping the context there, but first I'd like to ask some logistics questions about your show: - How long are your episodes now? - Are you doing this show solo? - Have you ever thought about setting up the episode as a series where you cover everything you'd like that pertains to the story, but break it up over multiple episodes? (For instance, Ep 1: cover the backstory, Ep 2: how to handle (or how you handled) the situation, and Ep 3: could be an episode where you answer questions from the audience.) Let me know if any of that is helpful, but please follow up if you have more questions! 🌟
Maybe you can do all of those things by breaking up the episode in a 3-4 part series. Each episode can focus on one part of the story and your listeners can tune in weekly for the remaining parts.
Wow, you sound just like me in that I can't do anything the same way everytime. Not my wiring. I'm just getting started, loving ❤️ your methods. Focus on one thing per episode. Thanks 😊
From my experience, I went from a VERY scripted episode to a loose outline to now I can have a few bullet points on a sticky note and make it work. Everyone's different. My recommendation would be to try what works best for you and feels most natural. 🌟
I enjoyed it but it seems like the points I heard were get it out of my head, continue improving and focus on one topic. I was hoping for more detail specifically on script and outline. Thx

This was exactly my subconscious struggle: what if I forget to say something really important? Or phrase it in a very good way, as I do when I speak to people? 😅 Well, sure I can make another episode 🙏🏼
My worst nightmare was cleaning audio. For a one-hour episode I needed some four to five hours of cleaning the same audio on Audacity. Evrything before and after that was perfectly fine. Adding music was fine. Writing the episode before taping was fun, too (I use Scrivener). Audio cleaning became something I dreaded, week in, week out. Ultimately, it did me in.
@@KrystalProffitt Is there a way where I don't have to spend 8 hours de-essing, de-clicking, and de-noising my episodes? It's basically like an hour for every 10 minutes of my monolgues, and I live in a quiet part of town (not many cars outside, I tape at night, and there is never an ambulance or a helicopter in Beijing). Would something like RODECaster Pro help?
Yes, I’ve actually gone back to scripting my episodes more - even if I don’t actually follow when I record, I find I mess up a lot less when I’ve fully thought out the ideas I want to talk about. 🌟
My one struggle is mentally feeling like my podcast will fail because I am a solo podcaster. In my niche, it looks like that the more than one podcasters are the ones that are popular
Working on the uhhs lol but I do that in life always talking also. So retraining myself to concentrate on that one thing and lessen and lessen it each episode.noones perfect but sports audiences want to hear opinions that aren't rehearsed.its more entertaining to go on the occasional tangent about a game or player that's driving the fans nuts. They relate and are like" hell yes I think that same thing in my head". It's important to sports fans no matter what teams, or bets they love and make,to feel they are not losing their minds and afraid to give the opinions they have. Best part about sports is the comradeship we have about the topic,and how we can banter and exchange knowledge and perspectives even know we root for different teams,or bet opposite ways. I have a slogan that makes everyone come together and that is " Let's beat the Books" meaning I want everyone to win their wagers vs sportsbooks and casino sports books and win money. Everyone . Let's combine knowledge from the stats and views and picks I give out, and all win money vs the Books. It's a common goal for all bettors and fantasy players as well
@@KrystalProffitt my main focus is youth these days and all the teen stuff, i have loads of ideas in my mind and cant sort them out as you said that one podcast should carry one thing (idea). I dont know how to do that.. Plus my podcasts are getting lengthy and kind of disorganized, like there isn't a proper format i feel, and being lengthy it's getting boring,plus i can't make it short, so yea..

I'm very anxious about starting my own podcast and when I record I'm like suddenly speaking so fast and then end up deleting that podcast I'm unable to make a good one but I have ideas please help me out
Hi Kylie! What you’re experiencing sounds totally normal. I think most new podcasters go through a version of not liking their very first audio clip. My advice is to just hit record and start talking - with the idea that you DO NOT have to publish anything until it sounds decent. Not great. Not perfect. Just decent. Because none of us - not even me - sound AMAZING on our very first recording. If it helps, you can script out what you want to say and read it - verbatim - until you record a clip you like. I know many podcasters who do this (some for MANY of their episodes) until they feel comfortable going off a more loose outline. I hope that helps. 😊
I have this too, I bought a tiny voice recorder with a single button that i wear around my neck, so as soon as I get the thought I say it in to my recorder for later
I try voice typing speech to text in google docs but it produces many nonsensical words, so I must rewrite half of the text. Write a script for a 5 minute podcast is writing an article, then record it into podcast this is double of work time consuming. So I like to dictate my script first, but on my smartphone or on Desktop with google docs it produes lots of nonsensical words, confused alien words..... Not have found a solution yet for this. Respect to all the people who doing great podcasts !
I’m wondering can a podcast be based on several things ! I’m aware to keep each episode on one topic but I’m unaware if I can have a podcast about several things! am I going to want to finish off a topic completely before entering a whole new topic?
Great question! I do believe you can cover multiple topics within one podcast show, but they all need to be related under one category so a potential listener knows what your show is about.
How do you feel about creating a podcast that covers various topics? I have seen a few of these how to videos where the person is telling people to just find a niche. I want my Pc to touch different subjects (not all on the same episode of course lol). P.S I subscribed to your channel about 5 mins into this video. You have a lot of good straight to the point information and strategies. Thanks
Hey CJ, Glad you found the video helpful! As far as a podcast that covers several topics, it depends on if those topics fall under one main category. For example: fly fishing, camping, and mountain climbing might all fall under the category of "outdoor living". But topics like: fishing, bowling, and cooking might not make sense to talk about on one podcast as their isn't really a common theme. What topics are you thinking about discussing on your podcast?
@@KrystalProffitt Hi Krystal, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my question. The topics that I would like to discuss in my podcast are current events and issues that affect our community. I am also starting a blog to supplement the podcast. Krystal Proffitt
I haven't done a podcast but your name came up when I did a search. I admire a writer and want to turn their FB content & book into a podcast and put my thoughts/ideas at the end. I think it will expand his ideas especially to people that don't want to read and prefer to listen like myself. How do I go about this.
Hi Kabuki, Sounds like a fun project that would be a cool opportunity to reach out to the creator directly to get their permission to use their content. I'm not sure you can use their material without permission, but it could be a fun collaboration project for the two of you!
It really depends on a few things: how often you're publishing, how long your audience wants to hear you, and how quickly you can get to the point. If you're just getting started, I suggest anywhere from 15-30 minutes for solo episodes.
Hey Mary! Tell me a little bit more of how you "envision" your podcast and we can work from there. Answer these questions for me: - How long do you want your show to be? - Will you do solo episodes only or have guests on? - How often do you plan to publish episodes?
Hey AP, You'll get more comfortable transitioning between segments the more you podcast. Also, trying to keep your ideas or topics you cover between 3-5 in one episode really helps!
I'm doing a school project , I have to make a podcast about some issue in our society and I chose sexual harassment I have all the information but I don't know how to began my writing
How many episodes will you have to create? If it’s around 5, I’d approach it this way: 1. Why you’re creating the show 2. Why this topic is important for you - or society at large - to share 3. Stories or examples of what sexual harassment is 4. How to stop it or combat it at work or elsewhere 5. Why it’s a conversation worth continuing outside the context of just this podcast I hope that helps! Good luck with your show!
My scripts for videos are more detailed bullet points. I don't scripts things out verbatim, but have the major points I want to hit on sprinkled with some stories and resources to help out.
Im here coz my homework is to create a podcast for my biology class.. it should be about living things, macromolucles and enzymes n idk where to start n how to make a podcast informative n get good marks but at the same time entertaining for the audience to listen to n not just me "teaching" ._.
Finding the content. I was supposed to start a podcast with a friend..... a former friend. I had the content, and I began the scripting ect, and she went and started another business, and now I'm stuck!!
I'm sorry that was your experience. Are you inspired to start another podcast? Maybe on a different topic? Sadly, I've seen this happen more than a few times. But I hope you're not totally discouraged from trying again.
@@KrystalProffitt Good morning, thank you for your reply. Yes, Im inspired to start another podcast. I wrote the the name of the podcast this morning, and I still have a little writers block, but I will not let her decision defeat me.

I'm sorry that was your experience. Are you inspired to start another podcast? Maybe on a different topic? Sadly, I've seen this happen more than a few times. But I hope you're not totally discouraged from trying again.
@@KrystalProffitt Good morning, thank you for your reply. Yes, Im inspired to start another podcast. I wrote the the name of the podcast this morning, and I still have a little writers block, but I will not let her decision defeat me.

Really helpful... Glad it’s “ok” to go shorter and add content to other episodes...
Yes, 100%! Don't be afraid to experiment with the format of your show. 😉
Wow
Thanks! 🤩
have conversation is a struggle, or to make stuff interesting is also a struggle
I think it just depends on who you're talking to and what topic you're covering.
What are some ideas you have on creating your intro?

How to avoid pauses
Oh that's a great one! Thanks for your feedback, Swapna! 😉
Do you save your scripts or outlines?
That's a great question. I have them in my Google Docs or in a notebook, but I'll be really honest...I never go back and look at them. :)
How to make your podcast longer
Hey, Eric. So you're wanting to know how to make your podcast episodes longer, right? Where are you now with your episode length and what is your goal?
My problem is speaking confidently
That often comes with time and experience behind the mic. Practice = Progress 🌟
Damn, you kinda look like Julia Roberts, do u get that a lot?
😂 I have heard that a few times! Too funny!
mouth noise. I struggle with clicks of the tongue.
Yeah, sometimes those can't be avoided. I don't worry about them too much.
