Grumpy Old Bears podcast show
In this episode of Grumpy Old Bears, we discuss several themes:
First, we review some comments (that the grumps will enjoy criticizing) in the live streaming and tech environments of podcasting. In the tech area, we discuss the pros and cons of the live streaming tool called riverside, which was used in a recent live podcast episode of Ask the Podcast Coach from Dave Jackson and Jim Collison. The poor video and audio quality was only surpassed when the system knocked you off and had to re-initialized. Comment is: bring back the quality live streaming with YouTube, as they had before.
Another theme was the live webinar with Daniel J Lewis and Steve Stewart that dealt with show notes for episodes (yes, the Grumpy Old Bears did not enjoy paying the $9 USD fee for live attendance). But it was worth it. It was called the Show Notes Summit.
Our view is that webinars like this are ideal for learning and communicating with the ideal group of like-minded individuals.
Why?
- it goes no longer than 4 hours and many speakers that deliver value;
- there is a live chat room that becomes very lively and helpful for issues that are brought up during the presentations;
- there is a question/answer session at the end of each presentation, and it does not go longer than just a few minutes;
- there was a choice that could have been made by a live attendee of the presentations, where for an additional $40 allows the individual to get the replay videos, charts, membership in a slack group for community sharing and other premium deliverables.
- there are great presenters and instructors, such as Daniel J Lewis, who gave a new view and approach in creating better show notes.
This whole webinar was a positive step for education, training and learning about creating and delivering show notes for podcast episodes — mainly due to the leadership of Steve Stewart, a podcaster and master of editing (i.e., he runs the Podcast Editor Academy).
And, in our opinion, the best session was delivered by award-winning podcaster, Daniel J Lewis (who has a show called The Audacity to Podcast, as well as other products for podcasting, which you can see on his site). He described how to use AI in helping you to create show notes for your episodes.
We are looking forward to other webinars in the same format under the leadership of Steve Stewart and company.
In the future, we look forward to record an episode in person within the California studio, instead of having a double-ender recording and editing of an episode. We shall see if the next episode will be in person or not.
We are also grateful to both Ryan Bemrose and Darren O’Neill of the former grumpyoldbens.com podcast show, as well as the deconstruction by Adam Curry and John C Dvorak in the No Agenda podcast.
Thank you for your attention.
