Toi here and welcome back to Lit Carnivale.
Today, I want to talk about starting to record episodes of the Read Local and Read All Over Shows.
If you’re tuning in from Substack, be sure to check out today’s poll.
1. I’m going to keep it short today. This is more of an announcement. I’ve booked and started the recording process for my main two podcasts. I’m really excited and happy with how things are going so far. I’m still seeking more participants, but we’ll see what I end up with by the end of March- my deadline to get this season going.
2. I’ve had no luck find aspiring writers or booklovers to interview. People express interest but never follow through. I get it, I’m not famous so they may not see any point if they are looking for 15- minutes of fame. I’m not stressing it though. If I don’t launch my other two podcasts this year, I’ll do at some other time. The only deadline I have is the one I give myself. Plus, there’s no point in launching a podcast no one wants, just because I want it.
I think the only other struggle I’m facing with this podcast process is communication. Some people are easy to get in contact with, and some are nigh on impossible. Oh well, it is what it is. If it’s meant to be, contact will be made.
3. Lastly, think it’s important for me to admit that I don’t listen to a lot of podcasts myself. I have found that most of the podcasts I follow are video podcasts. I have a few audio podcasts l listen to here and there, but regular viewing usually goes to video content. I’ve stretched myself far beyond my comfort zone to make my podcasts available in both video and audio because I know most people listen to podcasts instead of watching them. I just wonder if I’m doing too much with this approach.
Question: Do you prefer video or audio podcasts? I’d love to know.
