Hello, I'm Neil Mossey, welcome to the Happy Hut and thank you for clicking on this.
Welcome to the very first episode of the podcast producers podcast.
I feel like this should be music playing at the moment or something...
That will come in time with other episodes but this is the first one and I am very
excited. And by excited I mean I'm terrified. I've got this going out on YouTube, on my
YouTube channel... Hello YouTube, if you're watching there.
And if you're listening on the audio podcast there's a link in the description to where
the YouTube videos are. And if you're watching on YouTube there's
a link in the description for where the audio podcast is and where the website is.
So really pleased that you're here. If you're watching on YouTube at this point I'm probably
going to stop looking at the camera now just so I can give my all to this as an audio podcast,
but you're in good hands. I've actually already recorded the first episode
but I wanted to record and upload this thing first. I wanted to record an introduction
partly to test to make sure that everything works but mostly I just wanted to get an episode
in the can and online to get the Podcast Producers Podcast going.
My background is in TV, radio and online production. Well, the things I've produced and written
- maybe there's one or two of them that you might have heard of if you are in the UK but
it's a lot of stuff - I've recently made a couple of podcasts and
one of them has turned out wonderfully. I'm really really proud of it. It's... it's
a closed series - it's just a small number of episodes. I'm really pleased with how that's
come out. But the other podcast is an open and ongoing
series. And I've hit this complete wall with it.
I can only describe it as a podcast wall. I can't get past it, so I've started reaching
out to people I know who've been making podcasts and what's been really comforting
is that the people I've been talking to - it looks like they have a podcast producers wall
as well they have obstacles that they've had to get around and they're actually grappling
with different problems that I haven't even thought of yet.
Yesterday I went to have a chat with one my really closest longtime friend Stuart and
he is involved in a podcast that has recently been released. We were talking about some
of the things that's come up, and how he's actually got this podcast made and we were
talking for for a while and we're going so deep into talking about podcasts and and how
he make them that I asked him if I could record the conversation.
I got my phone out and put it on the table - it's in a coffee shop - busy coffee shop
- I'm just recording it on my phone with no microphone and I'd never do that.
I'd never set out to record a podcast just on my phone with no microphone in a busy coffee
shop, on a table, and uh but we kept talking for an hour we didn't stop talking. And it
was a really good chat and I want to share that chat, so I'm going to release that as
the first interview episode. It will be the next episode because I want to share this
complete journey with you and I'm going to do that by making it better as I go along.
I am going to try and video them too so that you'll be able to see... you'll be able to
see the environment that I'm recording in. You might see some of the equipment or some
of the other things that we'll see. I'm not sure if that's a good idea. I'd like
to put all of the podcasts on YouTube anyway in audio form. I'm not sure if it's a good
idea having the camera because what I like about podcast is the intimacy and I'm worried
that the that the camera is going to get in the way of that - but it's just an experiment
so we'll see we'll see how that goes. I think my biggest fear is that this is a
podcast about podcasts and I'm worried that it comes off the eye that the best idea I
could come up with for a podcast is a podcast about podcast. It feels really route one but
it absolutely comes from a genuine place. I do really want to share the process and
share other podcast producers talking about the process in real time.
When I got home yesterday I sat down and I wrote down what I want the podcast producer
podcast to be, and it came out like this: I want it to be prolific
I want to meet with as many podcast producers as possible
I want to publish as much material as possible and wherever possible I want to
make this podcast for free I want to see if it's possible to start making
a podcast with no money or as little money as possible.
I mean, I know I've got the camera, and I've got a microphone.
I'm doing that because I don't have a a good audio recording device so even using the camera
for me was my little workaround for making a podcast.
I want to do this in a way where anyone can use what they've got to hand to put their
podcast idea online. Podcast producers are - I think - are anyone
involved in making a podcast even if you're just thinking about doing it, if you're listening
to this you're a podcast producer - whether or not you've actually got a podcast yet.
You're a podcast producer. I'm hoping that if I can keep this going long
enough that anyone will be able to share their ideas or to share tips or to put questions
that other people - other podcast producers are facing - and that will all help each other
out. I want to talk to as many people who have
a podcast going to help them find a new audience for their podcasts and finally I really want
to try and get as many people as possible to make their own podcast and if I could just
stumble through this process and share everything with you I'm hoping that you'll see that you'll
be able to do this. There's so much - as you know - because you've
looked this up there's so much that you need to get together and any one person will have
certain skills you might be good at talking to people or booking guests or you might be
good at operating the audio equipment or you might be really good on the computer.
So you might be really good at editing the audio and putting it on a website.
You might be really good at social media, so you might be really good promoting
your podcast. But there are so many aspects just to get this thing out of your head and
online as a completed podcast stream... I think there are very few people who can
do all of that and I think that between us between however many people watching this
- I think nobody's listening to this podcast - I think no one will listen to this episode.
That's what's getting me through actually recording it and uploading it - but if
anyone is going to listen to it they're going to have different skill sets and they're
gonna have different ideas and they're going to have different experiences and
I think the more that we can share those the better.
So that's it - thanks so much for joining me for the very first podcast producers podcast,
with Neil Mossey episode 001 "Where do I start to build a podcast?"
If you've got this far - if you have listened - I don't believe anyone is but if you have
listened to this I would love it if you were able to say hi to me.
There's ways to contact me in the show notes on the audio podcast and on the YouTube video.
I've put all my contact details in the description but you can also leave a comment or give me
a thumbs up. Also I'm taking a guess that you listen to
loads of podcasts so you know the importance of subscribers. So if this is a journey that
you might want to come with me on - if it's a journey that you want to share with me - it'd
be lovely to see you there as a subscriber but anyway I hope this helps.
It feels presumptuous of me to ask you if you've got any questions but if you have got
any questions I'd love to hear them and let's do this!
Podcast Producers Podcast. Hello, please help my daddy get 1000 subscribers,
just click on his face thanks bye!
