And I think one of the things, one of the rules 850 00:32:01,350 --> 00:32:04,080 that we follow when we're producing podcasts 851 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,630 is that the format is the king, 852 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,490 is if you can have something that's consistent, 853 00:32:08,490 --> 00:32:12,360 something that people can rely on, like a format. 854 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,390 So on our program, we have the intros, 855 00:32:15,390 --> 00:32:17,370 then we have the interview, we have the injections 856 00:32:17,370 --> 00:32:18,570 and then we have a closer. 857 00:32:18,570 --> 00:32:20,190 It's a very simple format 858 00:32:20,190 --> 00:32:21,810 and it makes it easier for you, too. 859 00:32:21,810 --> 00:32:22,643 You start realizing, 860 00:32:22,643 --> 00:32:25,110 "Wow, we hit 40 minutes almost all the time, 861 00:32:25,110 --> 00:32:27,240 because we have this consistent format." 862 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:28,950 Fred- I wanna add on to Tim's comment, 863 00:32:28,950 --> 00:32:32,490 because the question of time always comes up. 864 00:32:32,490 --> 00:32:34,023 Our time is valuable. 865 00:32:35,010 --> 00:32:37,860 So often we measure how long something's going to take 866 00:32:37,860 --> 00:32:40,770 by the first time we do it and I can tell you right now, 867 00:32:40,770 --> 00:32:42,000 the first time you do a podcast, 868 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,400 the first time you do a video, any of those things, 869 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,770 the first time is gonna be the longest. 870 00:32:46,770 --> 00:32:48,510 The fifth time is gonna take longer 871 00:32:48,510 --> 00:32:49,770 than the 10th time you do it. 872 00:32:49,770 --> 00:32:53,280 The 10th is gonna take longer than the 50th time you do it. 873 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,680 Over time, I've developed efficiencies. 874 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,140 I've got keyboard shortcuts and all these kinds of things 875 00:32:58,140 --> 00:33:00,810 that now, the amount of time it takes me 876 00:33:00,810 --> 00:33:03,960 to produce a higher quality video, 877 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,630 and easily the same thing with a podcast, 878 00:33:06,630 --> 00:33:07,710 the amount of time it takes me 879 00:33:07,710 --> 00:33:10,230 to create a higher quality product 880 00:33:10,230 --> 00:33:12,480 compared to what I did the first time 881 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,507 or even the fifth or 10th time, it's night and day. 882 00:33:15,507 --> 00:33:20,190 And so make sure that you're not using those first few times 883 00:33:20,190 --> 00:33:21,840 that you do it as the measuring stick 884 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,670 for what it's gonna be in the future. 885 00:33:23,670 --> 00:33:25,730 Ricardo- And you can always remove those older episodes 886 00:33:25,730 --> 00:33:29,730 if you feel like you've evolved beyond them. 887 00:33:29,730 --> 00:33:31,380 Jason- And I'll echo that as well. 888 00:33:31,380 --> 00:33:35,130 You can use our podcast as a, 889 00:33:35,130 --> 00:33:38,280 people that are listening as a comparison. 890 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:39,570 We have a team of two, 891 00:33:39,570 --> 00:33:41,880 which we do very much in our spare time 892 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,140 And we decided on the front end 893 00:33:43,140 --> 00:33:45,720 that we couldn't dedicate that much time to it, 894 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:46,830 so one of the things we do 895 00:33:46,830 --> 00:33:49,020 is use technology to our advantage. 896 00:33:49,020 --> 00:33:52,800 We do use Zoom, we just use the Zoom recordings, 897 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,320 not 'cause I don't know how to get a better recording, 898 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,000 but because we don't want to deal with it, 899 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,670 the time that it takes to even layer 900 00:33:59,670 --> 00:34:02,583 in the digital workstation or whatever. 901 00:34:03,660 --> 00:34:06,810 And so we also use a program called Descript, 902 00:34:06,810 --> 00:34:08,850 D-E-S, script. 903 00:34:08,850 --> 00:34:10,800 Our Zoom file goes right into that. 904 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,900 It transcribes it and then it's shared 905 00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:16,380 like a SharePoint or a Microsoft Word file 906 00:34:16,380 --> 00:34:19,500 that both John and I edit like a Word file. 907 00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:21,930 You can hit a button, it'll take out all your "ums" 908 00:34:21,930 --> 00:34:23,940 and all your filler words if you want to. 909 00:34:23,940 --> 00:34:25,620 It doesn't sound fantastic. 910 00:34:25,620 --> 00:34:29,850 Yours admittedly sounds better and we're okay with that 911 00:34:29,850 --> 00:34:31,410 just because we don't have a team 912 00:34:31,410 --> 00:34:32,760 and we don't have the time. 913 00:34:33,780 --> 00:34:35,070 But it's functional. 914 00:34:35,070 --> 00:34:37,110 And we try to get a good quality enough 915 00:34:37,110 --> 00:34:38,550 that it communicates. 916 00:34:38,550 --> 00:34:39,780 We can take out filler words, 917 00:34:39,780 --> 00:34:41,970 we can copy and paste things around. 918 00:34:41,970 --> 00:34:43,950 And then if you wanted to, you could export it directly 919 00:34:43,950 --> 00:34:45,900 to a audio file then to put up 920 00:34:45,900 --> 00:34:49,260 and actually will even go right to your podcast platform 921 00:34:49,260 --> 00:34:51,390 from Descript if you wanted to do that. 922 00:34:51,390 --> 00:34:54,540 We do a little bit of editing with music afterwards. 923 00:34:54,540 --> 00:34:55,890 Ricardo- But at this point, it's a template. 924 00:34:55,890 --> 00:34:57,540 You have your music and you're just dragging 925 00:34:57,540 --> 00:34:58,590 and dropping to the next- Jason- That's right. 926 00:34:58,590 --> 00:35:01,410 Once you get the first episode done, as you were saying 927 00:35:01,410 --> 00:35:02,550 and you just put it in there 928 00:35:02,550 --> 00:35:05,130 and it's pretty simple in that way. 929 00:35:05,130 --> 00:35:07,020 I really encourage people if they want to do it. 930 00:35:07,020 --> 00:35:09,600 It's just talking and writing 931 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:10,710 and having these conversations. 932 00:35:10,710 --> 00:35:13,380 It's thinking, it's thinking through things. 933 00:35:13,380 --> 00:35:15,660 It's opening up a wider conversation to other people 934 00:35:15,660 --> 00:35:18,027 and I think it's so important and it's so good. 935 00:35:18,027 --> 00:35:20,100 Tim- And that's how the academic thing works. 936 00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:22,380 Share ideas and then get feedback. 937 00:35:22,380 --> 00:35:25,221 If we all keep our ideas to ourselves, it doesn't work. 938 00:35:25,221 --> 00:35:27,804 (upbeat music) 939 00:35:28,950 --> 00:35:31,470 Mary- Anything for you, Tim, any must haves? 940 00:35:31,470 --> 00:35:33,860 Tim- No, I try to keep it simple. 941 00:35:33,860 --> 00:35:36,270 I pack with the rule that you pack 942 00:35:36,270 --> 00:35:38,583 and then you take out a quarter of the stuff. 943 00:35:40,020 --> 00:35:42,060 Ricardo- Anything that doesn't bring you joy? 944 00:35:42,060 --> 00:35:43,830 Tim- Intentionally scaled down, 945 00:35:43,830 --> 00:35:45,990 more than you think you're gonna need. 946 00:35:45,990 --> 00:35:47,160 Ricardo- We're dudes. Tim- Because you probably 947 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,165 won't need it. Ricardo- It's different for dudes. 948 00:35:49,165 --> 00:35:51,853 Liz- I was like, "That's the Coco Chanel approach." 949 00:35:51,853 --> 00:35:52,740 You look in the mirror- Ricadro- Take one thing out. 950 00:35:52,740 --> 00:35:54,300 Liz- Take one thing off, 951 00:35:54,300 --> 00:35:56,010 it's like the Coco Chanel for packing. 952 00:35:56,010 --> 00:35:58,221 We'll call it the Tim McKean packing trick. 953 00:35:58,221 --> 00:35:59,280 (Ricardo laughing) 954 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,110 Tim- It comes from a camping background. 955 00:36:01,110 --> 00:36:02,400 Like if you're backpacking, 956 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,290 you don't wanna carry stuff that you're not gonna use. 957 00:36:04,290 --> 00:36:06,150 I mean, did you bring home clean clothes? 958 00:36:06,150 --> 00:36:06,983 Probably.
