    Proper Mic technique goes a long way.

    I strongly believe every podcast has a purpose.

    Once you determine what it is, you will attract like minded listeners. It's amazing by living this and putting it out there can bring the very thing you hope and dream in whatever you do, in our case, podcasting.

    Some of the best advice I ever got in the radio business was the knowledge that the average radio listener typically has one MORE year of education than the average DJ. It's pretty hard to condescend to someone who has more education than you do.

    Someone once told me start with your mixer levels on Zero. They said that most mixers are amplified so you don't need to crank up the volume.

    Think like a listener.

    Know your material inside and out before you ever turn up the microphone.

    Smile when you speak.

    If you sound bored, your audience will be bored.

    Sometimes the best way to grab your audience's attention is through a well-placed silence.

    Less is more. I was putting my show out at 320kbps. The show was over 200 megs. I dropped it down to 64k and all is good!

    Someone told me to come here and ask questions about podcasting. I was in one of the google groups and people pointed in this direction
