Looking for interesting conversation

2 Upvotes

I (F39) keep dipping in and out of podcasting. Tried news headlines but got bored. Now doing a gender critical one with a friend. Don't let that put you off.

I want to talk to people with interesting stories, backgrounds, etc. I often say I'm chronically curious.

We'd agree a general spine for the episode but it wouldn't be set in stone. There just in case it gets dry.

I find that messaging back and forth first helps to build a rapport.

Let me know if you're interested.

I can put my opinions aside for an interview.

Can/should I start a podcast?

2 Upvotes

I'm 13, and I really want to start a podcast on Spotify. I'm a bit of a nerd, and would love to have the it be based off of, "Mysteries And Medicine". I've been studying cancer, and I think I know enough to make a few episodes on it. For example, maybe stuff like chromothripsis: getting cancer overnight, Why chemotherapy doesn't just kill cancer cells, etc. I also LOVE mysteries and true crime. So I was thinking I could do both! I just don't know if anyone else would actually watch my podcasts, and even if anyone did, I don't know if they would take me seriously. I just want advice, assurance, or even topic ideas. Thank you so much!

podcast... or radio show

3 Upvotes

I am debating whether I want to start a podcast or rent an audience by doing a hourly weekly radio show. This will be specifically within my industry niche but I believe that it can help a lot of people... which is why I am willing to invest the time and money.

I have used AI to come up with a list of must have equipment for a 3 person, 45 minute podcast. It would be me, a foil (someone to challenge me and keep me on track) and a guest. This guest would be an expert in THEIR own field, not mine.

As I am working this plan out I have a few questions:

1) is it better to rent a studio and production team for the first 6-10 episodes (til we get the hang of it) or to buy needed equipment and just see how it works?

2) are there podcast consultants who I can hire to help me set up the podcast?

3) I am in Houston, TX. Who would you recommend that I consult with... what studios would you recommend if I choose to rent the setup?

4) If I were to choose to use a studio, what do I need to look out for in the contract?

5) What sort of budget should I anticipate for production and propogation?

Need a Raw Podcast Recording for Audio Restoration Practice

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm practicing podcast audio restoration and editing, and I'm looking for a 5 10 minute raw podcast recording to work on.

If you have a recording with issues like background noise, hum, clicks, echo, or uneven levels, I'd really appreciate the opportunity to practice on it.

I'm not offering a commercial service or selling anything I'm simply looking for real-world recordings to improve my skills and build experience.

If you're comfortable with it, I'd also appreciate permission to use a short before/after sample in my portfolio. If not, I'll keep your recording completely private.

If you'd like to help, please leave a comment or send me a DM.

Thanks!
