Most commonly people step out of the closet… but not me. Instead, I stepped into it. Literally, that is, as I’ve been recording a few intro and outro-snippets for the upcoming Doing Gentle with an edge-podcast soon to be released, inside a closet. Makes for great sound isolation. It also ensured Søren Lassen Andreasen, who’s my audio producer, could continue working away while I did my thing in the closet.
There are many possible traps.
So much to decide upon, and getting lost amongst all these choices would be very easy:
Name of the pod?
Music for the pod?
How to release it – all at once, or one episode at a time?
If not all at once, what day or days to release episodes?
Make a big thing of the release, or sneak it out there?
How to go about it technically?
Where to host the pod?
Is there anything I haven’t thought about that will cause me to crash and burn technically?
Then there are other aspects as easy to fall into:
What will people think?
Is this really a good idea?
What if no one will listen to my pod?
Well…. the thing is that the first set of questions I’m finding out as I go along. As this is my first time ever releasing my own pod, I’m learning for possible (probable!) future pod-releases as well. And the second set of questions can only be answered if I release my pod.
So in a few days, you’ll be able to listen to Doing Gentle with an edge.
And I’ll be sure to tell you all about it when the time comes!
