Dave has been track EXCATLY how long it takes to make a podcast. This includes: Researching storiesOrganzing show notes for recordingRecorind the PodcastEditing mp3 tagsUploading the mp3Creating the Show notes It turns out that based on my last 7 podcasts, you spend 4 minutes for every 1 minute of podcast. For example this podcast is about 10 minutes in length. As I type these show notes I'm at the 34 minute mark. OK BIG DEAL? Well, sometimes we get caught up in how fun podcasting is and we want to start another one before realizing that if we do a 15 minute podcast 4 times a week, that 4 HOURS of show production required. In some cases, you end up skimping on preparing good quality content, and then ALL your shows suffer. Just Dave's way of saying, "Maybe you should think about it before starting another podcast." See you at the Expo

Used appropriately, music and sound effects can really enhance your CONTENT. Dave shares his feelings as he has quit listening to some podcasts as they play "whacky" sound effects over and over (and they don't even tie in with the content). What do you think? Does this bug you?   On the other hand, Music and sound effects can create a mood, and a theater of the mind experience when used properly.
