Have you wanted to start a podcast for a while now, but are intimidated by everything it takes to record and promote a podcast? In this episode of the Creative Happy Hour podcast, we tell you what starting a podcast is a great idea for any creative, artist, or. creative entrepreneur. Cohosts Karena Akhavein and Micah Black go over how we started our podcast and deliver tips on how to come up with a subject and theme for your podcast, how to give your podcast a catchy name, and how to come up with material. We also go over how often to record and release your podcast, how to get your podcast hosted and how to choose a podcast hosting service. We also go over the details of recording your podcast by discussing which equipment is crucial for recording a podcast, and which fancy microphones, cameras, and other accessories are a waste of money. We tell you how the ring light changed our lives, and about how to soundproof your studio (no, you don't need to record in the closet). Next, we'll go over a week in the life of a podcaster, telling you exactly how much work, time, and energy it takes to make a podcast, from research to recording, editing, uploading, graphics, promoting, and more. And we do all of this while drinking the classic Mexican cocktail the Paloma: Because a podcast will give your creative career wings! Join us and get drunk on the creative possibilities.
