Today, I recorded my second podcast, JunkCast episode 2- Where to begin? I feel like my content was grand for the 3 minutes that it lasted, but I also feel like I was reading off of a script. My plan is to write an ebook that coincides with the content provided in the first season of this podcast. The information is there, but my presentation I feel is lacking. Now granted, this is my second podcast of all time, like… all time, so I guess that I shouldn’t be that hard on myself.
Here are my biggest struggles:
1) I feel like I sound like a robot- when I read from the computer, I feel like it is obviously scripted and it removes the genuine approach that I would like to provide.
2) They are short- my podcast today clocked in at 3 whole minutes. Granted, this was moreso by design as I did not want to breakdown everything piece by piece, but maybe I should have broken them down a little??
3) My neighbors started their louda$$ car mid podcast. 2 years running, still no new muffler. This too shall pass…
But I feel like these are my biggest accomplishments:
1) I did it- I didn’t make an excuse, I didn’t run from the microphone, I still recorded it and gained experience.
2) I added content-Yes, although not the proudest of content, it is still content that as I get better, I can look back and reflect on these.
3) I achieved my goal. I want to record at least 1 podcast a week for JunkCast, so boom! Goal accomplished.
I think I am going to start a “Life” podcast, with random tidbits and random thoughts from my mind. If nothing else, I will gain experience from recording my voice, and talking into the microphone, which is currently not the most comfortable part of my day.
