Overheard on Spaces
|
|
This week on Twitter Spaces we welcomed Ronald Young Jr., host of Solvable and owner of ohitsBigRon studios, which produces Time Well Spent and movie review podcast Leaving the Theatre, for a discussion on keeping a single-topic podcast fresh and engaging. Some takeaways are:
- Cultivate a strong connection between the host and your audience by evoking feelings and emotions. When producing Leaving the Theatre, Ron likes to take down notes in order to capture how he feels at a specific moment in the movie and preserve his inspiration.
- Captivate your audience by creating a mental picture, either through sound, music or storytelling techniques. Use clear and descriptive words to describe a feeling, place and moment in time.
- Draw connections between your listeners and the content you're creating. Make sure to survey your audience at least once a year to get to know them better.
- Preparation and planning is key. Take steps in the pre-production process that will save you time when editing and in post-production.
