Trimming the fat in your podcast

My latest podcast is a lean 17 minutes all about trimming the fat in your podcast. You don't need a sharp knife - just some planning up front and a commitment to ruthless post-production.

You'll find the show on the Trafcom News Podcast blog.

Please listen and let me know what you think!

I haven't even listened to this podcast yet, but it's a topic I've been thinking about.

I actually want to trim the fat of my musical intro and outro. They're too long and not entirely necessary, since I repeat what the podcast is about in my own voice.

What I need: a music bed that can be used for 5-10 seconds or so at the beginning of the podcast (rather than the minute or so on each end, as I have it now). I haven't been able to find the right sound yet.

Looking forward to hearing your other suggestions when I listen to this episode in the next few days.

Bryan, this is too funny. I just came from the gym, where I listened to your excellent interview with Scott Monty about his Sherlock podcast. I hope to blog about it today.

As for your music, I hadn't noticed that it was long. AND you remind me that I did NOT really address the length of intros in my show about trimming the fat. I should add that. Calls for another blog post. Sigh.

Thanks for listening and commenting!
