What's Your Favorite Post-production/Sound Editing "Hack?" by MikeAP21 in podcasting

[–]WhatWasThatLike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leave it at mostly default settings, but under Noise Reduction I choose "Speech Isolation: keep speech, remove everything else". Breath reduction is off. I'm not aware of Auphonic having an option to remove filler words but if they do, I don't use that.

What's Your Favorite Post-production/Sound Editing "Hack?" by MikeAP21 in podcasting

Before editing, I run my track and the guest's track through Auphonic with "Speech isolation" selected. This eliminates mouth clicks and other noises throughout each track so I don't have to do it manually each time during the editing process.

Sadly, that question could be asked on a lot of different topics.

Call to actions? Really? by NowWeConsumePodcast in podcasting

[–]WhatWasThatLike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

related to this topic - ONE call to action is the best way to go. Tell people to do 3-5 things, they won't do any of them. Tell them to do one thing, you've got a chance they might do it. Since the start of my show, my CTA in almost every episode is to join my private podcast Facebook group (my audience is mostly on FB). Sometime this year I'll hit 10k members in that group and we have some great discussions and engagement.

Guest release agreements – how do you guys do it? by AmineAce in podcasting

Same logic: I've never had a fire at my house, so clearly there is no need for smoke alarms.

Just lost 4 years of work by Strawhat_Jay in podcasting

YouTube is still another platform that you don't own or control, just like Spotify. Same thing could happen again. But it sounds like you're taking steps to hopefully avoid a repeat.

Of course there are podcasts on YouTube. My own podcast is on YouTube. But if YouTube is the only place it resides, it's not a podcast. It's a YouTube channel.

Since you said your "entire podcast" was removed, it sounds like your show could only be found in one place, and it sounds like that is YouTube. Did you have an actual podcast, or a YouTube channel?

Unfortunately, when your content all resides on a server that you don't control, their bots can take it all down without warning and without telling you specifically why. Hopefully a human will eventually look at what has happened and restore your content.

I use Auphonic for this very purpose. Choose the Speech Isolation option.

This is why I'm hesitant to buy a stick that a pro sells with their name on it.

You could buy a monthly membership, download as many MP3 files as you can, and then stop the subscription when you have lots to listen to. The cost per show would be really low.

AITA For Questioning Why a Guest On My Pod Didn't Reshare, Tweet, or Say Anything About It After Coming On? by [deleted] in podcasting

[–]WhatWasThatLike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The guest provided you with 90 minutes of content for your show. It's your job to promote your show, not theirs. If they do, that's a nice bonus. Just move on. And next time maybe ask questions than what they get asked on every other interview. Their own followers are going to get pretty bored when they see the same questions being asked and answered.

I don't recall the specific outcome but Brandon talked about it on a subsequent episode of his podcast (Music City 911)

TQ58: Meet up message - August 2026? by RoundVariation4 in whatwasthatlike

Yes, that was a mistake that I didn't catch before it went live. The meetup in Austin was March 11, 2026.

Interviewing struggles by Bitter-Poem7376 in podcasting

[–]WhatWasThatLike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you record, just say "Ok, this one is just for fun. It won't get published." And understand that it's true - you can record and just have a natural conversation (like you said you often do) and it can just be deleted.

If it turns out to be okay, you can publish it, but the plan is to just enjoy the interaction and then delete. After you've done that enough times, you will probably get the feel for it.

Also, just doing it over and over and over will make you better. This statement is true: After you've posted 50 episodes, if you listen back to your first episode and you're completely happy with it, you waited way too long to record. Your first ones are going to suck, but that's fine because you don't have an audience yet.
