On the Go Monthly Podcast
For the last few months I have been recording a monthly podcast with Lesley Anne Hornbogen of “On the Go”. Lesley Anne is a virtual assistant and she see’s a monthly podcast as a means of communicating with her client base and new prospects.
However, a podcast is not simply an audio version of an email newsletter (at least not the traditional type of email newsletter which is often no more than a sales pitch!). In the business world, a podcast is an opportunity for a business owner to “speak” to their clients or prospects and give an insight into not only their business but talk about their experience and current news items affecting their business as well. I’ve so far recorded 3 podcasts with Lesley Anne and we have discussed a range of subjects including Networking, Social Media and the role of a Virtual Assistant.
Now, you would be forgiven for thinking that Lesley Anne and I presumably meet up in a recording studio to put together the podcast. I think almost without exception every person that I meet and say I’m involved with a recording business immediately asks “wheres your studio?”. But no, these podcasts are currently all recorded in Lesley Anne’s kitchen with us sat round the table. Welcome to the world of on location recordings.
By doing this series of Podcasts with Lesley Anne, I am hoping to show that with the right equipment and setup you don’t actually need a “studio”. After all, what exactly is a recording studio other than 4 walls, some microphones and other recording equipment? Actually, there is a bit more too it than that, but the point is we carry everything needed to turn almost any space into an acoustically treated studio environment. Luckily for me, Lesley Anne has agreed to be “experimented” on and we have tried various different setups. I am particularly pleased with the 3rd podcast and would welcome any feedback.
