126: Sound Quality Matters

My goal is to spread the word about the amazing things podcasts can do for your business, brand or mission. In order to share your message and share it well, the sound quality of your podcast matters. Over the course of this episode I'm going to answer the questions, “Why does sound quality matter?” and "How do I get high sound quality in my podcast?"

In this episode, you’ll hear:

What sound quality of a podcast is, exactly

How detailed edits and clarification edits will help your interview-based or business-based podcast

The four reasons why sound quality matters

Why sound quality is respectful to your audience

Harmful sound, sound can be weaponized

Competition - why would someone choose a podcast with bad audio quality over one with good quality?

My 10 hacks for getting high sound quality

 

“If the content is good, listeners will put up with lesser quality. But, only for so long. More quality means more listeners, in the long run. If your sound sucks, people will stop listening no matter how good your content is.”

“Poor quality sound destroys the immersive nature of podcasts.”

“If someone is willing to download and listen to your show, you need to do everything you can to provide the best listening experience. Otherwise, your listener will, justifiably, unsubscribe. The first impression of your podcast is crucial.”
