Trends in Podcast Content with Delia Peterson EP 56
Today I’m talking to a new SoundAdvice team member Delia Peterson. She helps us with written content to support the podcasts we edit and publish for clients. She also does this for the Impact Theory podcasts, all 5 of them, among her other clients.
A mutual friend and business peer Diane Luzny connected us and Delia being the go-getter she is, reached out and we hopped on a call and talked like we were old friends. She’s the founder of The Written Podcast Agency and is here to talk podcast notes and supporting content.
Delia approaches her writing from a place of creativity. She’s a non-fiction creative writer which is perfect for podcasts.
She started by interviewing others for her own podcast (that she didn’t want to admit was really a podcast) and fell in love with the research and writing. She realized she could take the wisdom and insights they shared and add context and resources to create something that was actionable.
Since she’s all about action, she shared the key aspects she considers important for the notes she writes:
The information has to be compelling to the reader.
How can we highlight the guest in the best way?
Understand the goal of the podcaster – who are they serving.
Build a community to have and share value.
She also shared her favorite trend. YouTube. (See our post about that here) She uses YouTube chapters so the audience can quickly find the part of the content that is most relevant to them.
Delia also shared how to “listen differently” when you are creating your notes. It’s about the conversation to be sure but pay attention to the comments or the info that sparked an idea or an unexpected topic.
Know your keywords. Here’s her tip to help you find ideas to tie back to your content. Google your keyword or phrase and see the titles that come up. Get ideas for framing your content in a way that would show up in that type of search. This is genius and something anyone can do.
Delia’s #soundadvice: Be you.
She explained that she used to try to minimize her high energy to help others feel comfortable or stay quiet when she wanted to speak up. No more! She is unapologetically being the real Delia and has never been happier. That’s a great bit of inspiration we can all appreciate.
The Delia I’m getting to know is smart and fun and generous. Bonus: she let our listeners know to reach out and connect. She’s open to helping, answering questions, and meeting other smart, interesting people. No sales pitch or agenda just a great chance to create connection. I hope you take her up on it!

Why You Should Publish Your Podcast on YouTube EP 55
If you have a podcast, it’s time to get it on YouTube.
For some time now we’ve been advising our clients to put their podcast on YouTube. No video required. It’s now a part of our podcast start set up process.
If you host with Libsyn (use code: soundadvice to get a month for free) you can link your YouTube channel and when you publish a new episode it will go to all the apps and to YouTube.
How-to-info to link your show to YouTube on Libsyn.
It shows up in about 4 hours or so after publishing. We also create an episode image and upload that when we schedule the podcast. That way, the image that shows up on YouTube is specific to that episode. If you don’t have artwork to upload, it will use your podcast cover image.
Why YouTube and why now?
In 2019 Edison research shared that 40% of podcasts had listens on YouTube. In 2020 YouTube was the number one place for podcast searches. That bested both Apple Podcasts and Spotify, the previous 1 and 2 search choices.
YouTube is the content app of choice for some people, and they use it for all types of content, not just video.
You might be surprised to learn that YouTube just launched their own podcast! It’s called The Upload: The Rise of the Creator Economy. Just 5 episodes in when I recorded our episode.
Audio has become a bigger focus for the platform. They are looking to align with the rising social audio trends. Which brings me to ask, why aren’t you?
In 2020 YouTube reported that music streaming was bigger than ever. Over 77 million people subscribe to the YouTube Music platform. It’s clear that audio-only content offerings are popular on the platform.
YouTube is paying attention and jumping into the action. Audio content is here to stay. The key for creators is to make sure users can find them on their preferred platform. For many, that’s YouTube.
Not on Libsyn? No problem, here’s a short video showing you how to convert your mp3 audio files to mp4 video files. There are a number of ways to do this without needing any expensive software.
I suggest the Chrome plugin Convertio. It’s free and easy to use.

Everybody Pulls the Tarp with Andrew Moses EP 54
Welcome Andrew Moses! He joins us on the podcast to talk about his podcast Everybody Pulls the Tarp, networking, starting a non-profit, sports and more.
Andrew is focused on sharing stories of athletes, Olympians, CEO’s and other leaders. They all share one common thread; a willingness to do what it takes to be successful and to lead successful teams.
Andrew shares his behind-the-scenes story about the meaning of “everybody pulls the tarp” his podcast title. It’s a mantra and a mindset for Andrew. It’s an attitude that encompasses doing what needs to be done, no matter the job description or title.
“Great teams and great organizations are powered by individuals who contribute in unexpected ways.”
Andrew shares his “secret sauce” around finding great guests. His strategy is one that anyone can use (if you aren’t doing this you have to start!) and as a networker, he uses his personal and professional contacts to reach out to people who are “tarp pullers.”
Andrew didn’t start with a big audience, and early on he realized that persistence was required to carry on. He was happily surprised at the power of the audio content. His show continues to grow garnering more downloads every week.
Networking is key for Andrew. He learned how to build a network by being himself and bringing value to others.
“Go into interactions thinking about what you can give instead of what you are going to get.”
Hear how Andrew puts this into practice. It’s a cool ripple effect when you give first. He reminds us that focusing on things that you are passionate about means this doesn’t feel like work. It’s fun and gives him the chance to meet interesting people every week.
Hear Andrew’s #soundadvice. Do it for the listeners! (We love that advice) Andrew shares his perspective and it’s exactly what you need to hear if podcasting is something you’re considering.
Andrew’s recommended episodes:
Manny Dosanjh: 8 Hour Drives
Samantha Harris: The Cog in the Wheel Mindset
Tessa Virtue: 3x Olympic Gold Medalist

Recording Software SoundAdvice - Riverside Edition EP 52
Kelvin and I are sharing our recommendation for the recording software we consider one of the best. We’re using this platform and advising our clients to use it as well.
This is one of the things that we are asked about the most. For good reason. Recording good quality audio shouldn’t be hard to do, or overly expensive. There are lots of options out there and we’ve tried many of them. Clients send us files recorded in a variety of ways.
Deciding what to use depends on your podcast style and set up. Here are a few key factors to consider:
Will you need to record multiple people (or more than 1) in multiple locations?
Do you want an easy way to invite guests to the session?
Is video a consideration for collaboration? Do you want to record the video?
How often do you record and how long are your episodes?
Cost for the platform
Ease of use
If you are using Zoom or Squadcast or are considering using Zoom or Squadcast to record your podcast episodes, please take a few minutes to consider if either of those will do everything you need.
In addition to the research, he also talked to various platform representatives at a recent Podcast Movement Conference. That and the results from our early tests have made it easy to make our recommended platform Riverside.fm.
Here are a few reasons why we want you to check out this platform:
Quality Audio. Locally recorded uncompressed WAV audio for every guest.
Video Capabilities. Local recording of up to 4K video resolution if needed.
Up to 8 recorded participants. Schedule and invite up to 8 guests with one click. Guests and producers join with one click.
Mediaboard. You can upload audio and video files by dragging them to your media library. You can play them during the call or recording.
Separate Audio/Video Tracks. Each participant has a separate track for more control in post-production.
Audience Link. Share the recording with anyone and they can watch or call while you are recording with your guest.
There’s much more including producer mode and controls, streaming capabilities, and screen sharing.
Price. While they don’t offer a free version, they do give you free time to check out the platform and their monthly options are much less than Squadcast, especially if you want to record video.
That's a pretty good list of reasons to use Riverside.fm.
There are two things Riverside,fm can’t fix
First is a bad internet signal or internet drops when recording. If you are going to podcast, pay for the internet speed upgrade if you can and ask your guests to log in at a place where they have reliable service. Wi-Fi at Panera or other public places is just asking for trouble.
Which brings me to the second issue. Control of the ambient sound in your space. Almost all of us are recording in a home office (or closet or some other living space) or at work. It may not be possible to control everything, but do your best to minimize paper shuffling, tapping on the table, typing, squeaky chairs (guilty) and of course take care of things like silencing your phone, watch etc. for best results.
There you have it. Not only our recommendation, but we'll be moving to Riverside.fm for our podcast recordings.
We’ve created a how-to video to help you get started. It’s easy and intuitive and we save you time so use this to make set up on the new platform simple.
One last thing I forgot to mention... Riverside.fm gives you 1 free hour of recording time when you initially sign up, no credit card is required.
You can use our affiliate link: bit.ly/riversidefm
We’re going to interview one of the owners of Riverside soon – they just launched 2.0 and there are some cool new features coming. You can count on us to keep you up to date.
If you try out Riverside.fm reach out and let us know what you think. You can email us at podcast@soundadvicestrategies.com or DM us on IG at soundadvicefm
We’d love to hear from you.

Travel Tips with Jamie Weitl EP 52
Please tell me it’s time to travel to some exotic beach destination.
After listening to this episode, you’re going to want to plan your next vacation!
Jamie Weitl, the founder of Pineapple Escapes and the Travel Tidbits podcast joined us to talk about travel (of course) and podcasting.
She’s always coming back from some place fabulous or she’s packing to go. Sometimes both! This summer she’s already been to Disneyland, Cancun, Mexico (another location), and on a Disney cruise.
Traveling with COVID? It’s possible to travel safely. Jamie and her team keep up with the many requirements and protocols that are changing, sometimes daily.
She encourages people to travel and be prepared to be flexible. Know what to expect before you go and set expectations if traveling with children.
Mindset is important. Having fun is possible even when taking a few extra measures to ensure you and your family stay safe. Jamie is a go-to expert. Let her plan your next trip and she will get all the details, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
In Jamie’s words, “a mask isn’t going to ruin my trip” and COVID doesn’t have to ruin yours either.
Putting the Travel Tidbits podcast together is a team effort. Jamie includes all her agents (20!) so arranging who is going to record and what topic is up next is something they manage as a group.
She’s a planner and works on content months in advance. She also has flexibility so if something timely comes up, that can be added to the schedule.
Jamie’s advice is to make the jump into podcasting. If you have something you want to share, get started and be ready to take some time to invest and embrace the learning curve. She waited for over a year and realized that hitting record is the only way that happens. (We totally agree!)
Here are a few episodes you can check out to get familiar with the Travel Tidbits podcast and Jamie’s team.

How to Make Your Editor Happy. EP: 50
Your editor wants your podcast to sound AMAZING. Recording doesn’t have to be challenging. We want to make it easy for you. We’ve talked about your recording setup, what software to use, and reviewed microphone options.
Here are a few tips that will help your editor. In the words of Jerry McGuire, help me help you. (I just realized how old this reference is, so linking to the movie in case you’re wondering what the heck I’m talking about.)
Things you can do to make you an editor favorite:
· Test. Test again. Test a little more. Get your settings dialed in so when you hit record for real you know it’s going to sound great.
· Set up in the same location every time if you can. It makes it easier for you AND it gives you a consistent sound quality.
· Record 5 to 10 seconds of dead air (silence) so the editor can listen for fan noise, hums from your microphone, etc. to isolate and remove them.
· Stay the same distance from your microphone. When you move closer or farther away, or if you turn your head it’s going to change how you sound.
· Prepare. You don’t have to be scripted, but when you have notes or at least a few bullet points it will help you stay on track.
· When you make a mistake – it’s okay. Take a pause, gather your thoughts, and start over. Our editing team will fix the error and make sure it’s edited properly.
· Use a pop filter. It will eliminate heavy rushes of air or breathing sounds.
· Turn off other devices. Laptops, tablets, phones, watches, fans, etc. There’s nothing more frustrating than a great track interrupted by a phone alert.
Things to avoid doing so editing continues to adore you:
· Avoid touching the microphone. If you are using earbuds, make sure the microphone part isn’t rubbing your clothes or hair.
· Don’t touch the desk or microphone stand.
· Don’t type or tap the table or clap for emphasis unless you want that to be in your podcast.
· Don’t stop the recording. One take! If you mess up, pause, start again. A single track (even with lots of errors) is easier to edit and will sound better for your listener.
· If you are not speaking, don’t assume you can’t be heard. Chair squeaks, typing, shuffling papers; all sorts of fidgeting will be picked up.
Editing wants your show to sound amazing. When you find a setup that works for you, stick with it. You can be confident that your show will sound consistently good without a big hassle each time you record.
Have a question you’d like Kelvin to cover? Email: podcast@soundadvicestrategies.com and he’ll get you an answer.
Happy Podcasting.
