Jabriel: Hi, my name is Jabriel AlSuhaimi.
2
:
I'm an independent podcaster, DJ,
content creator, creative strategist,
3
:
a bunch of different things, and I'm
on a lifelong journey of constant
4
:
creation, collaboration, and learning.
5
:
And today I'm going to give you
a tip about batching, scheduling,
6
:
and using a content calendar.
7
:
I like to consider myself as
somewhat of a jack of all trades.
8
:
I like to throw myself into
new things and challenge myself
9
:
to be better going forward.
10
:
In terms of podcasting, I've
helped launch shows like curious
11
:
humans with Johnny Miller founders
for good with Craig Turner.
12
:
And I'm currently the producer,
editor, and co host of the Movie
13
:
Newbie which is a film review podcast.
14
:
Podcasting has been a part of my life
since I was about nine years old when my
15
:
parents got an iPod and I just stumbled
across this podcast called the muggle
16
:
cast, which was basically a Harry Potter
podcast that, um, I think people used to
17
:
phone in and record the podcast that way.
18
:
I think that was about 2009.
19
:
And then since then, I've basically
forgot about the medium until:
20
:
uh, I was in buenos Aires in Argentina.
21
:
And I met this amazing podcast producer.
22
:
Her name is Ninah Kopel and she introduced
me to the world of podcasting of, and what
23
:
it was like at the time and introduced me
to the shows like cereal, this American
24
:
life, a lot of American based podcasts,
and then fast forward to graduating from
25
:
my bachelor's program, it was towards
the end of:
26
:
work in music, although at the time
there was a little pandemic that hit.
27
:
And it was called COVID 19.
28
:
So I was jobless working out of my parents
house and I basically fell into podcasting
29
:
and the editing side of podcasting.
30
:
And it's basically changed my life
and I haven't looked back since.
31
:
So that's how I got into podcasting.
32
:
I think the biggest thing for me about
podcasting, it's that it's a medium that
33
:
anyone can do with very little barriers
to entry, at least for the moment.
34
:
I think anyone can create a podcast.
35
:
They can basically do it at home and do a
make believe podcast with their friends.
36
:
It's something that kids can probably do.
37
:
Anyone of any age can do.
38
:
And I, that's probably the
main thing that I love.
39
:
Although I think that's something
that's starting to change with a lot
40
:
of bigger companies coming into it.
41
:
It's making podcasting a
little bit scarier to start.
42
:
But for me.
43
:
I think everyone should
try it at least once.
44
:
I think one of the best things you can
do when starting a podcast is learning
45
:
how to manage the way you create.
46
:
So one thing for me as someone who can be
a little bit messy with the way I go about
47
:
my day, I think batching and scheduling
your podcast is very, very important.
48
:
So what I like to do is have a recording
day and editing day and then uh, admin
49
:
day where I'll basically write the show
notes, show summary, um, show description,
50
:
and then there's also a production day.
51
:
So if you can figure out a good schedule
for yourself, like where you think
52
:
you'll be the most productive, and that's
if you're doing everything yourself.
53
:
It could be possible that you're working
with a producer or an editor and...
54
:
Maybe you have to find days that work
with them, or if you have a co host,
55
:
maybe it's a specific day of week where
you need to start recording, but figuring
56
:
out a schedule, batching your content,
and then sticking to that schedule.
57
:
Because one of the most important
things is being consistent.
58
:
And I think consistency in podcasting is
what keeps the audience there, and what
59
:
keeps you motivated to keep on going.
60
:
So, I guess that's my big tip.
61
:
You can find me at Jabriel AlSuhaimi

62
:

listening to podcasting people.
