Sample text<span id="docs-internal-guid-8a7205d1-71d8-74d4-0ae5-67661638186e"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Determining what your content’s going to look like can be a very exciting process! Every podcast is different. Your podcast series can explore one particular subject in depth, or it can be more of a variety show, addressing many much broader subjects with a loose central theme. Figuring out what subject you’re going to make uniquely your own is a huge, and very enjoyable part of making a podcast. It is important, however, to know which direction you want to go in, and stick to it in order to develop your following around it.</span></span> <span id="docs-internal-guid-8a7205d1-71d8-74d4-0ae5-67661638186e"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Podcasts can be a lot of fun to listen to, but many content creators make the mistake of assuming that there’s not much to a podcast other than speaking about a subject. While this is an enormous part of making a podcast, if that’s all it is, it can get pretty stagnant really quickly. There are, however, a few little tricks making a podcast more interesting and lively.</span></span> <span id="docs-internal-guid-8a7205d1-71d8-74d4-0ae5-67661638186e"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">First, interviews are always welcomed and recommended. Not only are interviews informational and insightful, but they also provide a different dynamic. Sometimes, it can be more appealing or effective to listen to people discuss, debate, or banter about a topic rather than listen to the same voice drone on about it for the entire duration of the episode. Interviews are incredibly useful tools, but one should beware that they can be a little unreliable sometimes. Always stay organized and schedule your interviews far in advance, so if something comes up or goes wrong, they can easily be rescheduled or replaced. On a similar note, it is also important to have a backup plan in case a particular interview doesn’t work out. Always be prepared.</span></span> <span id="docs-internal-guid-8a7205d1-71d8-74d4-0ae5-67661638186e"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Music is another great way to spice up your podcast. Maybe you have a signature tune that you play at the intro and outro of each show, or maybe you play music in the background appropriate to the situation or subject you’re talking about. Either way, music can be an effective way to add that extra something to your podcast. That being said, it is </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">very </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">important that you make sure you’re allowed to utilize the song or portion of a song you decide to go with. There is nothing worse than have your podcast flagged and taken down from the Internet because of copyright issues. You can easily find out whether or not an issue of this nature would ensue by going online and checking out the copyright details of the song. There are many quick links that do this for you if you type it in a search engine. If you’re very serious about using a copyrighted song, it is possible if you obtain permission from the publisher and record company, but be warned, this is typically a difficult endeavor.</span></span> <span id="docs-internal-guid-8a7205d1-71d8-74d4-0ae5-67661638186e"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another way to liven up a podcast is to add sound effects. This sounds a little cheesy, but when you look closer, you will see that this isn’t at all the case. As there are no visuals in a podcast, sound effects can do an excellent job at enhancing the experience for the listener and drawing them further into the world you are creating. You definitely don’t want to do anything over the top, but subtle little sounds can make a world of difference. For example, if you’re verbally painting the picture of being in a scenic outdoor place surrounded by nature, birds quietly chirping, water rushing, or leaves rustling can add a lot to the listener’s experience. Sound effects of all kinds are found easily and frequently online.</span></span> <span id="docs-internal-guid-8a7205d1-71d8-74d4-0ae5-67661638186e"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A great idea combined with all of these useful tools can make for a captivating podcast series with unique, outstanding content. With your materials ready and your content figured out, you’re ready to make your podcast!</span></span><div><br/></div>
