And now, this week's episode.
Speaker:
00:00:19
When it comes to recording your podcast episodes,
Speaker:
00:00:25
there are pros and cons of batch recording.
Speaker:
00:00:28
Batch recording is where you record a bunch of episodes and schedule them ready for future publishing.
Speaker:
00:00:32
Now as mentioned, there are pros and cons to this.
Speaker:
00:00:35
The pros include getting ahead of your schedule, and that means you've got more time to yourself.
Speaker:
00:00:39
So that can cover vacations, quiet times, or just want to take a break from the show and recharge your batteries.
Speaker:
00:00:45
It can also help you pre-plan promotions and marketing for your episodes.
Speaker:
00:00:48
And if you're ill, it doesn't mean you're scrambling around trying to record an episode.
Speaker:
00:00:51
I'm a little bit under the weather today, as you might be able to hear,
Speaker:
00:00:54
so recording this ahead of time would have helped a lot.
Speaker:
00:00:57
But there are cons.
Speaker:
00:00:58
For one, it's a lot of work,
Speaker:
00:00:59
because you're recording, editing and scheduling
Speaker:
00:01:02
a whole bunch of episodes at the same time.
Speaker:
00:01:04
Additionally, your schedule can change without warning.
Speaker:
00:01:06
So, if you're planning ahead and you need to change dates,
Speaker:
00:01:09
you're having to juggle your content calendar
Speaker:
00:01:10
to try and make the episodes fit.
Speaker:
00:01:12
Now, if you've already told your guests or your listeners
Speaker:
00:01:14
what date a particular episode's coming out
Speaker:
00:01:16
and you need to change that,
Speaker:
00:01:17
that can also mess up your calendar.
Speaker:
00:01:19
And if a news story about a future topic broke
Speaker:
00:01:21
and you want to take advantage,
Speaker:
00:01:22
having it pre-recorded can make that difficult.
Speaker:
00:01:25
It really comes down to your own personal preference and your own workflow,
Speaker:
00:01:28
but it definitely can help if you want to plan ahead.
Speaker:
00:01:31
Until the next time, happy podcasting.
Speaker:
00:01:33
Thanks for listening.
