Re: Could Your Podcast Get You Fired From Your Job?

Several years ago there was a podcast with two hosts and they were talking about an upcoming game The Maw on Xbox Live back in 2009 and one of them said "The Maw? I didnt know they were making a game about Britney Spears vagina." Could he have gotten in trouble for this? Another time they were reviewing the game Timeshift which allowed you to run time backwards. They started wondering what a game would be like if it let you run time forwards. The same guy said it could be called "That Girls Not 18 Yet."

I am an 8th grade history teacher who changed schools (and states) three years ago. My students (in my previous school) had been creating enhanced podcasts ... audio+still images. We used Apple's older version of Garageband (that used to have a podcast menu) to record and edit our podcasts. At the time Apple also had iWeb which made an easy move to a site that held our collection. From iWeb it was an easy step to upload our podcasts to iTunes.
That brings me to my current situation... I still have the older version of Garageband so that will make the creation process as easy as before... my problem is where to host the finished podcasts so that I can have an RSS feed and make that connection with iTunes.
I would (and my students) would GREATLY appreciate ANY suggestions to help us get back and published again!!!

The Snowball Ice comes with a disclaimer saying that you can't use two at the same time, without sending one back to Blue to be re-programmed. Basically they all come with the same "digital ID," and the computer can't tell them apart. We started our podcast with two of those mics, then had to return one. I grabbed an Audio Technica mic that sounds great and works perfectly alongside my buddy's Snowball.

Love the hoop/hose trick. You wouldn't believe how many top-shelf studios I've been in that do this.

Including an image of a EQ setting (this is from Audacity) you can use over plosives should any still come through...

Re: Day 14: Swearing – What Your Podcast Audience will Tollerate

Kevin Field — Fri, 04 Sep 2015 12:07:32 -0000

Ah to swear or not...

Just to correct you slightly. The rule in the UK is not swearing after 9pm. There is no 9pm watershed in radio broadcasts. TV is a different matter, although the 9pm watershed still doesn't really exist, it is reasonably safe for programmes to include mild swearing late evening and into early night.

However, some swear words are considered gratuitous and are refrained from use. In fact UK radio looks at swearing according to the expected audience that listens. A hip hop show will still edit out, blank some swear words even if they know the audience will expect the content. The 'N' word is more often than not removed. Some stations allow mild swearing in songs late at night, but only 'shit' and especially if it is expected in the genre.
A few years back a station in London aired the 'F' word used several times within a track. The station was fined.

The Office of Communications or OfCom carried out some in depth research into what words the listener find offensive. The majority of street swear words are included in it's top ten as well as slang. These included MF, F, and C words. Broadcasters are advised to steer clear of these words.

I think swear words are more than social idioms of a time period. Unlike 'pregnant' and such words which were banned during programmes due sensitivities of the watching audience, and under instruction of advertisers and sponsors, swear words are used for cause and effect. Even in the fifties people didn't go around using the word pregnant to cause offence, but they did use the word 'fuck' to offend or cause shock.

As a listener I find swearing unnecessary in most podcasts, that's not that I'm prudish or never swear myself. I just feel that more often than not it is needless and out of place with the sentiment trying to be put forward. A different word could have been used to create a better understanding of the hosts feelings. In other words it doesn't add anything.

Podcast listening is one 2 one, so it's a personal experience - Therefore it is down to personal taste. I do wonder if a podcast with tons of swearing would have more listeners if the host used other words. It does of course depend on the context of the podcast. I'd argue there is no need for swearing in a sports, self help, business or education podcast. Comedy podcasts on the other hand offer an opportunity to swear in a comedic situation.

An interesting topic. Perhaps use the advice of a seasoned broadcaster who knows how to get an audience listening and for longer - If in doubt leave it out!

I recently built https://zencastr.com to help solve this issue of bad recording quality. I makes it dead simple to do double-ended recording just by sending a link to your guest. Then the files are sent to your dropbox folder.

I have to ask because with all this tool talk has made me giddy. Is the Tascam solid construction or plastic like so many of these USB mixer have become. I'm building a studio (that will stream video for other reasons) and I'm lining up my outboard gear and that Tascam looks really nice. Just want the old school metal gear.
Great article thanks and I'm signing up for the newsletter!

The pencil trick can actually help with siblance too; I tried this with a particular condenser microphone and an actress once with a siblance problem and it was surprisingly effective with a pencil strapped to the microphone in front of the capsule with a rubber band.
