• The 5 most common mistakes podcasters make (and how to avoid them)

  Most podcasts don’t fail because the idea is bad. They fail because the someone was thinking more about their ego than their audience. Or because they didn't realise how important consistency was to podcast success. Or because they set unrealistic goals for a new podcast and lost the motivation to keep going. In this episode, I walk through the five mistakes I see new podcasters make all the time and how to fix them before they cost you your podcast.What you’ll learnHow to refine an idea that's 'too general' so new listeners instantly get itThe difference between making a show for your ego vs. your audienceThe publishing cadence that works best if you're trying to grow Why consistency matters more than anythingHow to set goals that will keep you motivated (and still help you grow)EPISODE CREDITS:Host: Rachel CorbettEditing Assistance: Josh NewthLINKS & OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF:Find out how to work with me hereDownload my free podcasting guideCheck out my online podcasting course, PodSchoolClick here to submit a question to the showEmail me: [email protected] me: Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok or check out my blog or the PodSchool website.This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wangal people, of the Eora Nation.

• How to record a podcast remotely

  There are a number of different ways to record your podcast remotely and the option that's right for you will depend on what technology you have access to and how experienced the people on your show are with recording audio.If you're remote recording interviews you can get away with having your guest at a lower audio quality than you, but if you're hosting your podcast with a co-host remotely you want to try and record both hosts at as similar audio quality as possible.So, what are your options?In this episode I take you through the different ways you can remote record your podcast and which option gives you the best audio quality.Check out the full episode show notes: https://rachelcorbett.com.au/how-to-record-a-podcast-remotely/About me…My name is Rachel Corbett and I've worked professionally for almost two decades in radio and podcasting.

• How to sound like a one-take wonder

  Sometimes when you're in the depths of editing your podcast you'll realise there's something you need to re-record. Maybe you took too long to get your point across, or you got a few facts wrong, or you just sounded bored and want to pep it up a bit.If you're not careful, those re-records (or 'pickups') can sound obvious because they're not recorded in the natural flow of the original conversation. Or, they're not recorded in the same space as the original audio.So how can you make it sound like those new bits of audio aren't new at all?Check out the full episode show notes: https://rachelcorbett.com.au/how-to-sound-like-a-one-take-wonder/About me...My name is Rachel Corbett and I've worked professionally for almost two decades in radio and podcasting.
