9. How to LISTEN!...like a pro when making your podcast

Podcast hosting is all about?...LISTENING!

You might think that talking clearly (like a smooth operator) is all you need to focus on.

And it’s true that you need to speak confidently, authentically and with genuine curiosity.

But to be able to do all that, you need to listen with full awareness.

Listening is fundamental in all phases of podcast production.

In this episode of the Pod like a Pro podcast, Liz and Nat tell you about the four key listening areas in podcast production.

1) Your guest.
2) Your audience.
3) Your recording, edit and mix.
4) Yourself.

Plus they talk about the headphones you need.

Takeaways:

*Engaging with your guest requires active listening.
*Listening to understand your audience’s needs is crucial for content creation.
*Technical listening is essential during recording and editing.
*Using wired over ear headphones is essential for audio monitoring.
*Listening back to your podcast aids in self-improvement.
*Self-reflection is key to evolving as a podcaster.
*Continuous improvement is part of the podcasting journey.
