Learn about all the best tools you can use to easily run a remote podcast recording with guests or co-hosts.
Many podcast hosts are looking for affordable, simple solutions for high-quality remote podcast recording. And although recording remotely may feel complicated at first, it’s much simpler - and cheaper! - than it seems to record audio from home online.
Learn why I don't recommend Zoom for most podcasters, and why other options like Zencastr can record better audio (still for free).
These tips are helpful for aspiring podcasters, anyone hoping to start a new podcast, or current podcast hosts looking for a better solution. But if you are looking to launch a podcast, you can grab our free Podcast Launch Checklist at witandwire.com/download-podca...

Which tools do you use for your remote podcast recordings?

I've been using Zoom so far, but I've experienced Squadcast as a podcast guest and liked that flow as well!

Have used Zoom, thinking about Zencastr per recommendation, but evidently it doesn't run on Firefox and forces me to use Chrome ... drrrrr. Do you have one you recommend that might work with Firefox? I'd rather NOT use Chrome if possible.

@witandwire Год назад

Great question! I didn’t previously recommend it for the short version, as it was a lot of extra work and rarely paid off (unless you were filming in person with guests, more like a talk show). However, RU-vid just announced that they’re adding podcasts in a new way to RU-vid music, so this might be worth exploring: www.theverge.com/2023/2/23/23611985/youtube-music-podcasts-background-listening Team Wit & Wire

Answered my questions. The structure of the content is neat. I plan to start a channel for interviews people’s stories. Video or podcasts, what do you think?

@witandwire Год назад

Great question. There’s no one right answer, since I think each type suits different types of creators. I’d ask yourself where you think your audience is most likely to go to find that type of content on that topic, and then I’d recommend a bit of competitor research. (Also, your preferences matter if one sounds more interesting to you than the other.) I hope that gives a helpful starting point!

@chadhunsucker5907 11 месяцев назад

Great content! Can you add intro/outro music with Zincaster?

@witandwire 11 месяцев назад

Great question. Zencastr does include some very basic editing features, and I do think you’re able to have a standard intro/outro saved to your account on certain paid plans. That said, I don’t typically recommend or use Zencastr for editing - just recording - so I’d check out Audacity, Hindenburg, or Descript (witandwire.com/descript)

@lauramarie6039 2 года назад

Love this thanks! What about having my guest call in from their phone and I record via my Blue Yeti mic in Audacity? Would they need a mic or headphones if calling me from an iPhone or FaceTime?

@witandwire 2 года назад

Great question. If you record the phone or FaceTime call, it'll include both of your voices, which would make incorporating it with a separate Audacity recording of just you challenging. So for that reason, it's probably not a strategy I'd recommend. If you want to use just the phone recording, then it's up to you about how you want the audio quality to be on both ends, and if you want a mic for you or your guest. But as long as they don't try and use speaker mode, they shouldn't need headphones unless the mic on the headphones has better audio quality.

@jonesrandomknowledge 2 года назад

I have Not interviewed anyone. Kinda nervous but willing to try one day. Also would like to say I Have been interviewed. The questions the interviewer asks the guest should be specific So the guest is not scrambling their thoughts on how to answer them. For me it was fine to be asked questions that I was given. But there's sooo many people who clam up when nervous. Hope this helps.

@witandwire 2 года назад

Interviewing definitely takes some practice, but I've really enjoyed it. Been very lucky to interview and meet such wonderful people!

@beachguy9999 Год назад

Thanks for this! For remote video interviews for RU-vid (video showing host and guest), would you recommend Google Hangouts or Zoom? Isn't it easier to upload the video from Hangouts straight to RU-vid or its pretty easy with Zoom as well

@witandwire Год назад

Great question! For most remote recording tools, the publishing process will be similar (you would need to edit the podcast and then upload the finished episode file to your hosting platform), but if you’re looking for a tool that can directly post to RU-vid, you might be looking at Riverside (witandwire.com/riverside) or Ecamm (witandwire.com/ecamm); both of which have livestreaming functionality in addition to the option to download the audio/video files for editing. I hope that helps! Team Wit & Wire

@elizabethotterstetter7786 День назад

I'm not sure if it's just changed since 2021 but Zencaster only has a 14-day free trial otherwise it's a paid subscription platform now.

@witandwire День назад

This is true, Zencastr no longer has a free plan.

@b.3824 Год назад

Hi! I have a question. Using Zencastr, if both of us are using headphones, will Zencastr record both video and audio of both the participants?

@witandwire Год назад

Great question! Yes, that's exactly right. For each person who joins the recording room, Zencastr will record their audio OR their audio + video, if that's what's selected. And everyone in the recording should at least wear headphones, or if you have one, you'd also use a microphone. (So if you're using both, the microphone would record your audio, an the purpose of headphones is to reduce echo from the other person's voice coming out of your computer if you weren't wearing them.)

Mam I'm nervous because I'm scheduled to be interviewed for a remote radio podcast I have a laptop but I'm not tech savvy at all so they mentioned they would do it thru zoom so besides my laptop what do I need

@everythinginbetweenpodcast1770 2 года назад

When you record can you hear your voice and the guests voice in your headphones? If so how?

@witandwire 2 года назад

Great question. You should always be able to hear your guest in your headphones. But depending on the tool you use, there's usually an option to turn your own voice on or off. In Zencastr, it's under the "Settings" menu in a recording, and it's called "Monitor." I usually record with it off, but I always do sound checks before every recording. I hope that helps!

@docomedy1 9 месяцев назад

I have a microphone and apple headphone with mic - how do I use apple headphones on mac only for listening and not use its microphone ? Thanks

@witandwire 9 месяцев назад

To change your microphone and speaker settings, click your profile photo, select "Settings" and then selecting "Audio." You can select a specific speaker for your microphone and speaker.

Wht if the other person is not having mic or headphones then how will I continue my podcast

@witandwire 6 месяцев назад

Ideally, your guest should at least wear headphones with a built-in microphone, or they can use a phone to call into something like Zoom. But a USB microphone isn’t a requirement for guests.

Is the laptop built-in camera not a good option?

@witandwire Год назад

Great question. It depends on how new your laptop is and your personal preferences. (For some people, it might appear good enough. For others, the upgrade to an under $100 USD webcam will be a noticeable difference and improvement.) I’d test yours out and see what you think.
