Hello everyone, Dave Jackson here, your trusty guide through the podcasting landscape, welcoming you back to another episode of "Ask the Podcast Coach." Today, we're tackling a topic that's become a bit of a thorn in the side of podcasters everywhere: Apple Podcasts Formatting Issues. I've been there, wrestling with descriptions and ensuring everything looks as sharp as an HD display, no matter the platform. Whether you're tuning in from Spotify or Apple, we've got you covered with tricks of the trade.
I'm pleased to have the ever-knowledgeable Mathew Passy joining me today. Together, we will explore the best practices for formatting, divulging our experiences with dodging those pesky issues that can make or break the listener's experience. Expect to glean insights on doubling your paragraph spaces and placing key information where it matters most.
But that's just the starting point. We've got a full slate on our hands—discussing the widgets and gadgets of the audio world. We're talking remote recording platforms, mics, media hosts, and even my own trials with the Sony ZV 1 as a webcam. It's a treasure trove of tech talk that you won't want to miss.
