What about Podcasts?



Yesterday I went into the reasons I’m not doing a YouTube channel. However, I’m not so opposed to doing a podcast. I love doing this blog, but there are some of my interests that would work better as a podcast.

Unlike a YouTube channel, I have most of the gear necessary to do a podcast. There are a few conditions that would have to be met before I went down that road.

One condition is having someone else involved. It’s pretty weird to just talk to yourself. For me, podcast formats work better when there’s people to interact with. Another big condition is having someone who’d be really committed to doing it.

Some years ago a friend approached me about doing a podcast. I set up computers with the necessary software and bought audio equipment. I did a fair amount of research and looked into how the business of podcasting was done. My friend’s life got complicated at that point and we didn’t go ahead with it.

Frankly, I don’t want to do all that setup and research again. Conditions and requirements must have changed since then. Things move fast on the Internet.

Who knows, it could happen. I’ve been told I have a face for radio so I’ve got that going for me.

    1. Public speaking never bothered me -as long as I have something worth saying.

  2. Then there's the theme. What would the podcast be about? Sailing? A podcast for sci-fi and fantasy authors? I'd tune in regardless, but having been on a friend's podcast a few years back, i could see the headaches involved with keeping something up like that.

    1. It would depend a lot on who I was doing the podcast with. That person would have to do a lot of work so I'd be flexible about subject matter.

  3. SixBears, you have a lot of interests and write about a lot of things. How about podcasts that accompany some of your posts? Just set up the mic and start talking. I bet a whole bunch of your listeners would click a podcast link right under the end of your posts.

    1. Never thought of that before. You've given me food for thought. Thanks!
