Hey, Danny here from One Minute Podcast Tips.
Speaker:
00:00:27
This Friday, December 8th,
Speaker:
00:00:28
One Minute Podcast Tips turns 1.
Speaker:
00:00:30
And to celebrate, I'm having a special episode
Speaker:
00:00:32
with some of my favourite podcasters
Speaker:
00:00:34
sharing their own One Minute Podcast Tips.
Speaker:
00:00:36
There'll be both a video and audio version.
Speaker:
00:00:38
So be sure to check it out this Friday,
Speaker:
00:00:40
either on your favourite podcast app
Speaker:
00:00:42
or on YouTube at OneMinutePodcastTips.com/YouTube.
Speaker:
00:00:46
Now, this week's episode.
Speaker:
00:00:48
When it comes to the listener experience for your podcast,
Speaker:
00:00:50
obviously the quality of your audio is key.
Speaker:
00:00:52
And I spoke before in episode 44
Speaker:
00:00:54
about how to improve the quality of your audio
Speaker:
00:00:56
before you actually start recording.
Speaker:
00:00:58
And while great audio is important for all listeners, it's also really important for a specific community.
Speaker:
00:01:03
Just as transcripts are really important for the hard of hearing community,
Speaker:
00:01:06
making sure your audio is clean is super important for those that suffer from misophonia.
Speaker:
00:01:11
Misophonia is an extreme intolerance to certain sounds.
Speaker:
00:01:14
Now most often these are ones that come from the nose, throat or mouth,
Speaker:
00:01:18
which include chewing, coughing, sniffling or lip smacking.
Speaker:
00:01:21
Now it's that last one that's relevant for podcasting.
Speaker:
00:01:24
Lip smacking happens when you have a dry throat
Speaker:
00:01:26
and when you're speaking you can hear sort of little clicks in your voice
Speaker:
00:01:29
and that's why it's called lip smacking, it sounds like you're smacking your lips together.
Speaker:
00:01:33
Now on a podcast this can come across really clearly
Speaker:
00:01:36
because obviously you're speaking closer to a microphone
Speaker:
00:01:38
and a lot of podcast listeners listen via headphones
Speaker:
00:01:41
and the problem with misophonia, it causes really bad reactions for people that suffer from it.
Speaker:
00:01:45
That includes feelings of anxiety, panic and rage.
Speaker:
00:01:48
The good news is it's really easy to clear up these sounds.
Speaker:
00:01:51
You can either use free solutions like Auphonic which has a really good mouth noise remover
Speaker:
00:01:55
Or you can use a premium plugin, like iZotope De-Click,
Speaker:
00:01:58
and that plugin works with most editing software.
Speaker:
00:02:01
And I'll leave links to those in the show notes,
Speaker:
00:02:02
so be sure to check them out after the episode.
Speaker:
00:02:04
Until the next time, happy podcasting.
