Research
Research the topic(s) you're talking about present both facts and opinions.
Structure
Recurring segments help build familiarity with the audience. At the very least, tell the audience what you're going to say, say it, and then tell them what you just said again.
think about production
Think about how you might use music & sound effects, but don't go OTT with them.
Keep it simple
Don't over complicate your podcast, keep it t the point and follow a script.
How will it be recorded
What equipment/facilities will you use to record, remember audio needs to be recorded perfectly.
edit it
Don't be afraid to cut bits out and edit down the conversation. You don't want to spend 60 minutes talking about the same point, the listener will start to switch off!
Don't copy
Make the podcast you want to make don't try and use another format. Be creative with ideas.
Take the lead
You'll need someone to act as main presenter and to try keep people on the point of the topic.
use contributors
Don't just have a discussion or display the facts, find people who are passionate about your subject and ask them to feature.
use headphones
Monitor your audio while you're recording, make sure levels are suitable. Adjusting the headphone volume does nothing for the overall recording!
be confident & smile
A confident voice and smile can go a long way to keep the listener engaged.
enjoy it!
Have fun and enjoy the whole process, it goes a long way in getting the best results!
