Who is hosting their podcast here on Micro? What have you learned? What do you wish you knew when you started doing so? 🎙️

@drose and @manton – I have been podcasting a long time. I have a long-running podcast about the Traveller tabletop RPG that I host on LibSyn, which I started way before I knew about micro.blog. On that podcast I do a bit more “production.”

Here on micro.blog I do a couple of smaller, more informal ones. I do one on my bloftin2.blog skateboarding blog, and I do a tabletop RPG podcast – bloftin2RPG

My biggest takeway about the value of micro.blog as a podcasting platform is that when it is easy and convenient to do a show, I do more shows. Manton has made it very very easy, combining the Wavelength app with micro.blog. For both of these podcasts I record from my car, during lunch. It’s nice, and quiet, and private. I have a Shure MV88 plug-in mic with a Lightning connect for my iPhone (discontinued!) I think it sounds amazing.

Today, in fact, I recorded a new podcast on bloftin2.blog.

You COULD do more production on a differnt phone app, but again, recording into Wavelength with an easy upload and publish makes it super easy. I sometimes then go back into my job and edit the post for that episode with some show notes, but not usually.

There is nothing in particular I’d have done differently, because I have a long history in podcasting already. My goal with these was to make frequent personal podcasts.

Weirdly, LibSyn has not come out with and easy recording app, like Wavelength. I think this is dumb of them.

The WaveLength app also allows you to upload audio files from your phone’s “Files” app, which is cool.

Oh, I forgot - I do a podcast sometimes on my science fiction reading blog as well. Same idea. As long as I’m a Premium custom I might as well have 5 blogs, right?
