04 May ☑️Podcast Recording Checklist
👋Hey there Podcaster!
Happy “May the 4th Be With You” to my fellow Star Wars fans. If you like Star Wars, keep an eye out on my Instagram today for a special podcast-related post!
Don’t be underprepared, bring your podcasting A-game with the checklist below.
☑️Podcast Recording Checklist
Most of us podcasters have had it happen time and time again, being caught with our “podcasting pants” down! It’s even more embarrassing when you have a guest there to experience it with you! Never be underprepared again after pressing record by checking out my carousel where I discuss the importance of a podcast recording checklist, including the things I include in mine!
Here are a few key items to include in your checklist:
✔️Test your microphone before recording.
✔️Close background programs on your computer.
✔️Set your devices to “do not disturb”.
✔️Confirm the pronunciation of your guest’s name.
Want the full checklist? You can get a download of the checklist here! What else do you do to prepare for recording? Hit reply and let me know!
