Extreme Tech:
Five tips for podcasters. Oh, I’ve run across some doozies, almost as execrable as the Powerpoint presentations I’ve encountered of late. As an old A/V dude, audio quality is really important to me. Record under a thick blanket or terrycloth bathrobe, if you don’t have a soundproof room. Cheesy intro music ... you’ll see NPR does without. Duration, I like 20 minutes to 30 minutes. If you have an interviewee who’s particularly monotone, break it up with some humor or other ‘lighteners’. Smooth edits, if you please. If you’re stuck doing the Baba-Wawa thing, remember you can’t edit in new speech from a different microphone or room (unless you want to spend hours in post). Re-do the entire phrase with consistent mic’ing and sound dampening. And never, ever split channels with interviewer/interviewee.
