- Saw this on ANN. Made me nervous. This is my first panel. Will try not to cause anything to explode, but to be on the safe side, please look around and memorize the position of all emergency exits...

- You might think that you need some sort of fancy recording studio such as this.
- The setup of Leo Laporte, the internet’s most prolific podcaster.
- If you’re a gamer, or if you regularly voice chat with friends and family, then most likely you already have a computer and a chat headset. If so, then you’re all set!
- The podcasting community as a whole, and the anime podcasting community in particular, are in need of (more than) a few good podcasters...
- Let your voice be heard! We need more, diverse voices
- You can explore fandubs, voice acting
- You’ll need a computer of some sort. Almost any computer made within the last 5 years is more than capable of producing an audio podcast. If you plan on covering events (cons, etc.) a laptop might be a good thing to consider. PC or Mac, both work.

- Even just a few years ago the free podcasting options were slim to nil, and were usually complex and weird. MUCH better now. PodBean is one of the best I’ve seen.

- Small enclosed space - Minimize echos, etc. Typically for pro recording studios, it’s the most innermost room Sound booth - used during anime dubs Hellsing cosplayers have a distinct advantage here - they can podcast in their Coffins! ;-) How to do at home? Use the most innermost room (an inner bedroom etc.) Walk in closet = perfect. Some have even used their bathrooms, laundry rooms, etc.

- Eliminate hard surfaces for sound to echo off of - by covering them with soft things Auralex - That funky foam found on the wall of almost every recording studio (not spouse friendly) Cheaper alternative - hang curtains! (or towels, or blankets, or...) (even temporarily - use thumbtacks)

- Plosives - P-popping Use a pop filter - usually only $10-20 Or you can make one yourself out of a coat hanger/hose clamp and pantyhose (borrow them from wife/girlfriend - tell them you’re crossplaying!)

- Best way - a mixer and multiple mics. Price has really come down but is still pricy and complex. Something that’s worked well for me is a good omnidirectional mike (the Snowball is great - with its omni setting). Has to be in a relatively quiet location tho.

- Skype - a podcaster’s best friend. 9 times out of 10, when a podcaster is doing a remote, he/she’s using Skype. Yes, even the pros (Leo, etc.) use Skype. Free computer-to-computer, requires both you + your victim to install Skype, exchange Skype id’s Two options if they are unable/unwilling: SkypeOut - $2.95/month, free unlimited calling in the US, very good rates overseas Requires you to call them. Be mindful of time zones! SkypeIn - $18 every 3 months. They call you. Usually a long distance number. If doing it with overseas guests, you might be getting calls at weird hours. But is excellent for a call-in line - Skype voicemail will take their message!

- XXX FIX THIS TO USE THE NEW DRAG AND DROP METHOD
- Podcast Your Passion - Be Passionate About Your Subject
- Community - Form a community, let them do your work for you, but don’t abuse/neglect them. Tell the story of Allison and how she has to do almost no work now thanks to her listeners submissions.
- Sound Matters - Good sound can be done cheaply/easily
- Keep it fairly short. About 30 minutes to 1 hour. Any longer and people start nodding off. According to 2008 American Community Survey released by US Census, average daily commute to work is 25.5 minutes.
- Be consistent - Audiences hate fly-by-night operations Doesn’t necessarily have to be weekly - Bi-weekly, monthly... But Be Consistent Tons of news/goings on in the anime community, so there’s no shortage of stuff to talk about If you have to take a break, warn your listeners, be kind and they will understand
- Determination - Stick with it. You will podfade. There will be “that moment” that makes it all worthwhile for you.
- The sky’s the limit - You can upgrade gear, there’s video, etc.
- If you get serious about this there are two conferences you might be interested in: Blogworld and PodCamp
- Spread the Word - Tell others about podcasting, even if you don’t start one yourself.
- Even if you don’t intend to start a podcast yourself, please spread the word about podcasting -- to your anime friends as well as your non-anime friends! Load up iTunes on their computer, show them around the Podcast directory, and help them subscribe to a few podcasts that fit their interests. We need more listeners!
- HAVE FUN!!!!
