I'm Not Dead Yet, But I am 57 - Podcasting Insights

PODCAST OBSERVATIONS

By Dave Jackson from the School of Podcasting

WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO

I know it's been a while since I've sent out a newsletter. I am working hard at something I started in 2021, and I'm still working on it. That is rebuilding the School of Podcasting (almost) from the ground up. The fun part is rebuilding a new version while maintaining the old one. It's fun. One baby step at a time.

I also turned 57 yesterday (2/8). Being in your late 50's for me, my brother and sister is always a little weird as we lost our Mom at 59. It gives you a different perspective (and partially why I'm a bit of a workaholic). So thanks for all the well wishes on Facebook and such.

WHAT CAUGHT MY EYE

I'm reading the book Find Your Red Thread: Make Your Big Ideas Irresistible this is a book that demands you attention. Read it with a notepad, and do the homework. I was reading it on a treadmill, and I want to start over (I'm in chapter 3) and actually do the work.

An AMAZING "comedy special" called Team Coco Presents Moses Storm: Trash White | Official Trailer | HBO Max. This is one of those pieces of entertainment that I was just left wanting more. I knew I had just watched something "outside the box." Most comedians walk to the stage and grab a mic. There is no mic, and the stage is a giant LED screen that he later displays images on as he trigger a camera from the ceiling. Also, extreme vulnerability and comedy mixed in as he display how he is the MASTER of the callback. If you have HBO max, I highly recommend it. I've watched it twice. Once for content, and a second for structure.

THIS QUICK DEMO IS AMAZING. I record audio in a bathroom using a Blue Yeti purposely set up wrong. Wait till you hear how great this audio sounds with the click of ONE button. Watch this quick 4 minute video. It's bananas

While the previous demo was to clean up your guests audio, THIS DEMO shows you how I can clap my hands and the software keeps my voice but removes my hands.
