The podcast I’ve posted about podcasting was a really cool experience. Interviewing people is so cool to me! I’ve done film interviews and enjoyed that immensely. ->NERD ALERT<-
I was so nervous for the interviews on podcasting! Not only was I doing something I didn’t know squat about, I was interviewing people who I’d heard interview other people on the radio for years now. Actually, nervous was an understatement.
It helped that I had a plan. I knew my questions, and I had a good idea of the answers that would benefit people the most.
My interviewees were so kind and gracious, even giving me tips on using the technology. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I learned what equipment I like using for audio interviews and why.
I’m pretty jazzed that I will have an opportunity to use this new experience soon. I’ve already set up a time with one of the other program hosts on WETSFM to see how we can make podcasting work there.
I once thought of podcasting as something for big shows like “This American Life,” or “To the Best of Our Knowledge.” I didn’t see how it could be beneficial for the short, informational shows by individuals. I have a whole new respect for the medium now.
Have you started podcasting? What podcasts do you like to listen to?
I’d love to hear from you!
