Our first full episode recorded on quality mics in a quiet space. We recorded these long before we mastered audio, video or podcast structure, so you can see us overcome some of the same problems you will run into. As the episodes progress, everything will improve, and you’ll hear us discuss how. This episode we figured out where to put the mics… by putting them in the wrong place.
In this episode we discuss:
Value of enthusiasm in content creation & how to maintain it, keep it from feeling like a job
Choosing your first recording mic
How to re-record to fix mistakes while sounding natural
Scripted vs freeform content
Freeform feedback and learning from Ethan’s recording about intelligence being primally intimidating
Behind the scenes on Ryan creating an episode of his scripted podcast: Spirit Of episode 1 - Shackleton
Ryan’s preparing for creating Spirit Of Season 2: The story of the father of Japanese Whiskey
As a creator being Q, so you can make the audience feel like James Bond
A class on content creation Ethan took from a very unlikely source: his mortgage broker
What hipsters teach us about the need for sincerity in any good story
Ryan’s experimental Jameson
