Podcast Name
I think I've settled on using "Vibrantly Fertile" as my podcast name. This domain is available, and it doesn't seem to be used a lot. Another option is "Vibrant Fertility", but the domain is taken and it's in much wider use. My highly educated and intuitive poet friend says "From a language perspective vibrantly I think it's called an adverb and it takes the power out of a describing word. That's why I feel vibrant fertility would be stronger. Like I can tell you, I am a vibrant walker or I can tell you I vibrantly walk.... Either way, I'm sure it'll be great!" What do you all think?
Best practices for solo episode length and consistency?
I'm kinda just recording from scripts I wrote and letting the duration take as long as it does. First episode was 33 minutes. Then I just published a 10 minute episode because I didn't want to bother trying to drag it out to the same length. I was thinking I'd like the solo episodes to be about 30 minutes if I can pull it off, but that'll make me take even more of forever to do these things. I saw YT shorts can be a max of 3 minutes. So I'm thinking 3 minutes or less is "short-form" and going there and on socials. Then 10 minutes or more could be an "episode" maybe? Do I need a consistent episode length? Does that mess things up if I do 10 to 15 minutes things, then a 30 minute thing, then maybe if I have a guest it'll probably be an hour or two? I'm also doing monthly Terrain Q&A calls where I do a solo talk at the start and talk about stuff I had prepared. The first talk was 30 minutes. I posted it on YT. Can I maybe throw an intro on there and repurpose as an episode? Basically trying to use all the things I have in all the right places without doing a ton of extra work. I guess overall I'm asking which things go in which buckets?
Headshot selection for artwork
My original plan was I didn't really want my headshot on the cover art and other stuff. I was gonna leave it as an octopus. And then some people showed up (totally "unrelated") and said people are going to fall in love with my face. So I guess I'm making a headshot now... And I actually need a headshot for three things. 1. I'm doing a workshop at Confluence. 2. This podcast cover art. 3. The Youtube thumbnails since I'm doing a lot of solo episodes anyway. I have my main "profile photo" one which I use for everything right now. I really like that one. And I even used it for my temporary cover art that I threw together. I'm attaching both of those. Then I've been taking a few more, both inside and outside. I have about 200 of those (in case you can't get enough of me). Here are a few. For outside, I live on the beach so I can go back out there and take more if needed. For inside, I have the softbox so I can mess with the lighting a lot. Let me know if you have more direction for either. My questions: 1. Is the profile photo good? I'm concerned that since the original is taken at a distance the cropped version is lower quality and may not work in some cases. 2. Are the windy hair ones gonna make the background removal wonky? Guessing for the headshots we don't need to remove the background but I know y'all do for the YT thumbnails. 3. Eyes are more closed when outside. An issue? And more generally, which one is the best??? Thanks!
Headshot selection for artwork
Is it necessary/ absolutely Best with an iPhone?
Hello dear Podcasters I am just starting this adventure and looking into the equipment. Is it necessary to have an iPhone, or can other phones do the job (as camara)? Is it simply much easier to go with a total mac solution- also for the laptop? I am ready to buy new gear... Thought I'd maybe find less of a ' big tech' solution. But I also need things to be fairly easy going as I am NOT a tech person. Will you share your experiences? Best wishes 🙏🏽
