The Podcast Journey

 

No Directions

 

Now I have some podcasting equipment and a new microphone. I’ve hooked things up to my computer, but to be honest, I have no idea how any of this stuff works. When I’ve tried to use Anchor to record small bits for a podcast, some things work, and some things don’t. I can hear some things in my headphones, but they don’t seem to record. I’m not sure why this is happening because I really don’t have any directions for this thing.

I’m going to have to play with it and see what’s going on. I know it’s kind of working, and the microphone does sound really good, but why can’t I hear any background music? Why don’t the sounds I record on buttons play on the recording? I’m not sure about some of this stuff. This may take some time.

I can always just talk for my podcast, which is probably what I’m supposed to be doing. Sound effects, or music, or not, I’ll have to come up with something to record and talk about for next week. This may be a short blog because I’m really not sure what to say, or what I’m even doing. Hopefully I’ll look back on these in the future and think what a dope I was, and how easy everything really was once I figured out what I was doing. Or maybe I’ll just have to be recording talking?

Very short blog today, I know. I did record a short podcast so you can hear my voice. If you want to hear me starting out and struggling, then give a listen.

  The Podcast Journey   Figuring things out   To start out with, what is a podcast? In simple terms, it’s like talking on the radio, but it’s an online thing. You don’t broadcast at a certain time, you just upload whatever you record and people can download and listen to it whenever they want. Or people can totally ignore you. A podcast can be just you talking about something, or you interviewing someone. It can be about zombies, or writing, or really anything you want. It’s your show, so you can pick the subject and format. “But what if no one listens?” you might ask. Well, no one will be listening to start with. You need to find your audience. I think for me, I’ll just be talking to let off some steam. I used to write a blog and rant about things, now maybe I’ll do a podcast and just rant about things with my voice. Someone may listen eventually. If nothing else, when I finish my time on this earth, family will still be able to go back and hear my past thoughts in my own vo

First Actual Rambling Podcast!

  The Podcast Journey   First Actual Rambling Podcast   I’ve completed and posted my first actual rambling podcast. It’s really Vegas Ramblings #3, but I actually ramble on about a subject instead of complaining about equipment. I thought about using some music in the background but decided I would just talk. I don’t have much royalty free music that I like, so I figured why force something into the podcast that I didn’t like. I may figure something out soon, though. It's hard not to laugh. I can hear myself and maybe I was a bit too entertained with the “Depth” knob that I have that makes my voice echo kind of like if I’m in a bathroom stall. But I did try to stay somewhat focused on 1922. I’m not really familiar as I could be with that year. It’s been a long time since I was in history class and really, I just wrote down some notes to reference and then rambled on about them. Was it entertaining? I don’t know. I guess we’ll see if three people listen to it this time. I
