The Pod Farm is now Ora Podcasts
jeudi 20 janvier 2022 • Duration 03:30
Hi there! You haven’t heard from me in a while, so I wanted to fill you in with some changes happening to The Pod Farm.
When I started The Pod Farm, it was kind of a punt. I didn't know if podcast editing was a thing I could do for work, and The Pod Farm was purely a passion project. But as it has evolved and become a real business, I've felt like there are ways I can better serve my clients and attract new ones. So I’ve decided it’s time to put those things into practice, and there are a few reasons why now was the right time.
For one, most of my clients now fall into a few categories - health & wellness, spirituality, education. This wasn't intentional, but as lots of my clients are through recommendation, it's just turned out that way.
Also, earlier this year my Instagram account was deactivated so The Pod Farm's social media presence has disappeared, which seemed like an opportunity for something new.
And finally, The Pod Farm was an experiment at first, and it was a messy one. There's a confusion of branding, starts and restarts, too many facets to the business etc.
Basically, I'm seeing the new year as a time to start fresh with everything I've learned along the way...
The first stage of this change will just be a reskinning of The Pod Farm you all know - there's a new name, more gender-neutral branding, new website etc., but the day to day operation will be the same.
You'll still send me podcasts and get them back a few days later, same as always.
This new brand will hopefully attract more clients in the specific categories I've mentioned above, and create a stronger identity for the type of client I work with.
Further down the line, I hope to use this identity to attract advertisers for the podcasts I work with, and perhaps even operate as a podcast network.
But first, a facelift...
The Pod Farm is now Ora Podcast.
The word Ora kind of struck me out of the blue, and as I looked into it, as a part of words like oral or oracle, as a homophone to aura, and the many languages that use the word, it grew on me more and more. I feel it represents the feel I want for the new business, and how I want it to be perceived by my clients.
You can visit orapodcasts.com to find out more, and just to have a poke around. You can also follow @orapodcasts on instagram, although I haven't posted anything yet!
Also, unfortunately I’m not going to continue releasing podcasts at the moment. These podcasts will stay up, so anyone can access episodes that have been helpful to them, but I won't be releasing more under Ora Podcasts for now.
Thanks so much to everyone who has listened, to anyone who has got in touch and anyone who has found them helpful. You can still follow The Pod Farm and my work as Ora Podcasts, and I hope to be able to work with many of you in the future to nurture new podcast projects and help you make them a reality - see you soon.
Starting Your Podcast Next Year
lundi 18 octobre 2021 • Duration 21:11
As we enter the final few months of the year, I've been thinking about those people who might want to start a new podcast with the new year. The audio from this episode is taken from several episodes I released last year about starting a new podcast in 2021 and I hope it will be helpful to anyone looking to start their podcast in January.

Recording a Podcast Outside
dimanche 13 juin 2021 • Duration 09:27
Airplanes, loud motorcycles, wind, birds, sirens and construction work - these are just some of the sounds that might pop up to ruin a recording taken outside. But by choosing the right type of microphone and positioning it correctly, using the right accessories, and paying attention to the right things, we can overcome most of these problems, and that’s what we’re going to talk about in this episode...

How To Quickly Generate Podcast Episode Ideas
dimanche 30 mai 2021 • Duration 10:55
I used this exercise in the webinar the other day, and I find it a really useful tool for generating loads of episode ideas quickly. It’s pretty simple, but super effective for generating content that is valuable and relevant to your audience. You’ll need a pen and paper, or writing application of some kind...

Common Podcast Editing Mistakes
dimanche 16 mai 2021 • Duration 12:55
Great editing is imperceptible, it should be subtle, seamless, and shouldn't distract the listener from being absorbed in the content. If you can't tell what's been edited, you're doing something right. So to help you achieve these stealthy edits too, this episode will look at some of the common mistakes people make when editing a podcast, and how we can avoid them.

Battle of the Audio Editors II: Some Other Options
dimanche 2 mai 2021 • Duration 15:59
To this day, the most downloaded episode and the most visited article on the website, are the ones comparing Audacity and GarageBand - and that makes sense. One of the biggest draws of starting a podcast is that it has a low point of entry and can be done with very little budget, or even for free. Both Audacity and GarageBand are free programmes, and are how the majority of podcasts are edited today. Audacity is the go-to choice for PC users at the start of their podcasting journey, and GarageBand is the go-to for Mac users.
But neither of these are the industry standard for audio editing, and there are other options - Adobe Audition and Logic Pro X. Plus, there have been some updates since I wrote the last piece, so I thought it was time to revisit podcast editors, and start round two of the battle of the audio editors...

Finding Legal (and Great) Podcast Music
dimanche 18 avril 2021 • Duration 10:00
Most content creators will at some point bump into the restrictions of copyright law. That may be YouTube removing a reaction video due to a copyright infringement, or in the case of podcasting, trying to find some music for your podcast that is free and legal to use.
There is lots of misleading information out there about copyright laws, so listen to this episode to help you navigate it and make sure that you are using appropriate, legal music that looks out for artists...

How Analytics Should Inform Your Podcast
dimanche 4 avril 2021 • Duration 07:28
Understanding your analytics is an effective way to improve your podcast’s reach, and build a loyal and engaged audience. Your analytics data provides you with a window into your audience’s behaviour and how they interact with your content. By understanding which topics get the most downloads, when listeners tune out of your episode and the demographics of those listeners, you can optimise and refine your content.
Listen to this episode to learn all about analytics data, and how it can inform your podcasting practice...

REPLAY | How Microphone Placement Affects Your Recordings
lundi 22 mars 2021 • Duration 09:18
For the next 8 weeks I'm going to be delivering the course, so I'm taking a break from the podcast. During that time, I'll be posting 8 of the most popular episodes from 2020 for anyone who's new around here, or as a refresher to everyone else. I'll be back with new content very soon!
The most important piece of advice for recording a clear and professional sounding podcast: get your audio sounding as good as possible before you press record. Post-production editing and effects are great for enhancing already great audio, but they are limited when it comes to repairing bad audio. The best way to ensure a top-quality recording is to nail your set-up and record with proper technique. And an aspect of this technique is microphone placement. Listen to this episode for tips on how to get your mic placement right.

Recording an interview on Zoom has become an important aspect of podcasting. Not only have worldwide restrictions on travel and meetings meant that it’s much easier and safer to record interviews remotely, but Zoom is also free and has a built-in recorder. However, there are a few sound issues that people report with recording Zoom calls - noisy fans, poor signal quality, sound cutting out when the other person speaks.
Listen to this episode to hear some tips and settings to get the best quality from your Zoom recordings and avoid these annoying mistakes.
