While there may be a lot (and we do mean a lot) of similarities starting your second podcast as there were you first, there’s also a variety of additional considerations and best practices too. This episode Stephen & SP discuss how you can maximize the launch of your second podcast, including leveraging your existing fan base.

In this week’s Better Podcasting Download, we discuss how it’s really easy to drive away your audience by using polarizing topics within your show.

Finally, in Better Podback we take your feedback in addition to providing an ATR2100 vs ATR1500 vs AT2005 Microphone Shootout.

A lot has changed in the world of podcasting since it first began – one area is the competitive factor. Whether we wish it were elsewise or not, podcast has become a competitive hobby and this week we’re going to discuss how it’s become this way and how you can be aware to minimize the impact on your show. In the Better Podcasting Download we’ll discuss a recent article on the basics of what you need to start podcasting and in your feedback we’ll discuss your inspirations for starting podcasting

Stargate Pioneer and Stephen are pleased to have special guest Bandrew Scott (from his Podcastage YouTube Channel and The Bandrew Says Podcast) to get his insight on podcasting while learning about his history taking his hobby to a professional (or if you’d prefer “hobbyist plus”) level. Topics include the difference between commercial/professional and hobby podcasting, how he manages his schedule and some of his favorite experiences with his over 100 microphone tests and reviews (not to mention his 200+ videos).

During this week’s Better Podcasting Download the three discuss the question of building a two-person podcast setup on a $300 budget.
