Random pearls on how to create a medical podcast

  1. Clear audio is KEY! Minimize echo, background noise and ensure everyone has at least a USB headset/mic like this one Sennheiser headset $35.
  2. Record at least 3 practice episodes and get feedback. Record with your friends or family first because they’ll forgive you when things go wrong. Technical failures are a waste of your guest’s time and can ruin your rep.
  3. Be an autodidact. There are YouTube videos, blog posts, and even podcasts addressing every podcasting question we’ve ever had.
  4. Limit yourself to one standard drink (e.g. 12 oz beer, 5 oz wine) before a recording. Two drinks is risky. Three is a disaster.
  5. Make professional show notes with learning objectives, summary of key points, conflicts of interest, visual aids, and links from the show.
  6. Don’t forget to PRESS RECORD and DOUBLE RECORD everything! Equipment and software fails sometimes!

The show notes of this podcast are detailed and are awesome. Here is the link to this episode’s excellent show notes.*
