Making High-Concept Podcasts On A High-Value Budget

There's something to be said for making a high-value podcast, which is why many continue year after year. But making a high-concept show can also be rewarding. Do you have time to make both?  https://podcastpontifications.com/episode/making-high-concept-podcasts-on-a-high-value-budget Broadly speaking and missing a whole lot of nuance to make a point, podcasts are either news/talk or high-concept. We know listeners like to listen to both kinds of podcasts. But we also know most podcasters only produce one or the other. Is that because making a high-concept podcast is too difficult for most podcasters? I don't think soo. But I think it tends to be easier to make news/talk podcasts compared to high-concept shows.  Can you do both? Probably. Your challenge will be keeping your high-value news/talk podcast train running as you devote the time necessary to make a new high-concept show. I have two tips to help you figure that out: 1. Think Big, Smart Small - You're taking the elephant-as-a-meal approach. You've probably lots of research and some things to learn. Prepare yourself for a nights-and-weekends project. Yes, 2. Think Differently - A lot of what you know about production, releasing, and promoting will need to change. The expectations for high-concept podcasts are quite different than what you've learned with your news/talk podcast. Give yourself room to figure those out. High-concept podcasting is not for everyone. But if you'd like to give it a shot, there's a lot you can borrow from your current high-value news/talk podcast. But plan on learning a few more tricks, so give yourself room to do that. And if you try your hand at making a high-concept podcast, be sure to let me know about it. I'd love to listen.  ----- Links Looking for a remote recording solution that handles both audio and video?
