00:00:00,001 --> 00:00:11,080
Welcome to Podcast Answers, the show where I help you start and grow your podcast. All

2
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,860
while answering any podcasting questions along the way to help you get started with the craft

3
00:00:15,860 --> 00:00:17,560
that is known as podcasting.

4
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:24,200
Because while podcasting is easy to do, it does take some technical knowledge and not

5
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:29,840
everyone is technical by nature. So that's why I'm here. I love answering questions.

6
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,880
I love being able to help people start their podcast because podcasting is something that

7
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,760
is great to be able to get your word out, to get your knowledge out.

8
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:44,880
People want to hear you and what you have to say. So podcasting is that avenue, that

9
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:51,700
place for you to be able to do what you do. So with that said today, man, if you are not

10
00:00:51,700 --> 00:01:00,600
live on with me, you really should be. I do this show on YouTube every week. And I also

11
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,200
do this on the new podcast apps.

12
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,600
So stream video to YouTube, which is, you know, YouTube live. You've done that before.

13
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,480
You've seen that before. And then new podcasting apps allow you to listen to a live stream

14
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:18,880
of audio going on it right in your podcast app. And I'm streaming right now to live podcasting

15
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:25,000
apps such as, as, as pod verse and fountain and all of the new podcasting apps that can

16
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,000
take that.

17
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,300
If you've not checked out any of those, go to podcasting apps.com or new podcasting apps.com.

18
00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:33,520
Either one will take you to there and you can see which ones will allow you to listen

19
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:40,200
to live podcasts. And this is a live podcast. I record this live because I like having people

20
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,400
to be able to listen to me at the time.

21
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,120
And you get to see some of the things that I do that you don't come into the final product.

22
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:53,560
The fact that I've started this show two times already today and the YouTube audience and

23
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:58,080
the live podcast audience that are with me in the new podcasting apps got to see that

24
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,500
because I first forgot to hit record on my road caster.

25
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:08,800
So I wasn't getting audio. And then secondly, I, I forget what I did, but I said something

26
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,640
wrong. I, I messed it all up. And so you get to see that if you're with us live, if you're

27
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:17,440
not, you don't get to see what this live. So what are we talking about today? We are

28
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:23,320
talking a little bit about using zoom for your interviews and what that entails.

29
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:29,920
And I've talked a little bit before on this show about using E cam in the new integration.

30
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:35,560
E cam resume to bring in your guests and how easy that is to do that on, on E cam bringing

31
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,640
in video. But what if you're not actually doing video? What if you're not using E cam?

32
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:45,800
I recognize that E cam for one is a Mac only program. And while it is the best program

33
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:54,820
ever and they have an awesome community, not everyone has a Mac, Macs are expensive, but

34
00:02:54,820 --> 00:02:57,320
if you have a Mac, go ahead and use E cam.

35
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,920
But not only that, but E cam is a either monthly or yearly subscription and not everyone can

36
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:10,200
pay for that. And then on top of that, you have to add zoom in there so you can do some

37
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,320
of this stuff. Now, what I'm talking about today is going to be mainly just audio and

38
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:23,800
getting audio for your podcast because I am, because the video was zoom, you can get it

39
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:24,960
and you can record it on zoom.

40
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:32,040
You can even live stream on zoom. So zoom is a good option, a good alternative. If you

41
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:38,760
don't really know, like if, if, if you really just want to live stream or if you want to

42
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,480
catch your audience, but you don't want to pay for a third party nugget, you're not going

43
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:51,780
to have all of the fancy, dancy schmancy things that you have when you are recording in something

44
00:03:51,780 --> 00:03:57,660
like E cam, because you're, you're just not going to have those.

45
00:03:57,660 --> 00:04:07,720
But if you are like me and, or if you just want to use zoom, you can use zoom. Now you

46
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:15,640
could just use zoom as a free program. Zoom does allow you to have a free account. And

47
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,960
the thing about that is you can have as many people on your meetings. It's limited to 40

48
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,160
minutes though. So that is the key.

49
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:30,060
If you're just using zoom and have a free account, your meetings are limited to 40 minutes.

50
00:04:30,060 --> 00:04:35,740
And so what that means is that's going to have a little bit of a problem when you try

51
00:04:35,740 --> 00:04:39,820
to do a longer interview, because that's the whole thing. And so if you get your guests

52
00:04:39,820 --> 00:04:42,880
on your do doing a pre show checklist, and you're doing all the things that we've talked

53
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:50,660
about pre show, and then you start recording, you may have already wasted 10 of your 40

54
00:04:50,660 --> 00:04:51,660
minutes.

55
00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:56,940
And so then you have 30 minutes left or even heaven forbid, if you use 20 minutes, and

56
00:04:56,940 --> 00:05:01,520
you're down to 20 minutes left. And so really the zoom free account is not a good option

57
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:07,360
when it comes to using this for recording your podcast. Yes, you could do it. And yeah,

58
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,680
you could, you could definitely do it, but I don't necessarily recommend it.

59
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:17,080
So what you can do zoom is not that expensive for a year long subscription. And the nice

60
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:24,560
thing about it is you get 30 hour meetings. Oh man, if you had a 30 hour meeting, and

61
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,360
you were using zoom on your podcast, wow, that'd be a tiring zoom meeting. But you could

62
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:35,480
do a 30 hour meeting with your zoom. And there are reasons you would want to do a long zoom

63
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,320
meeting like that. And with the paid account, you get that you also get with a paid account,

64
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,520
five gig of storage, recording storage in the cloud.

65
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,520
So zoom has a couple different ways that you can record it. So you could you could do this

66
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:54,040
really simply. Let's say you don't even have a nice soundboard. You don't have a setup,

67
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,720
you could just use some sort of USB mic, like the pod mic or something like that. And, and

68
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:06,240
not the pod mic, but all the all of the is sure. The sure mics that in things, well,

69
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:15,180
even Yeah, the pod mic does have an SBA oxygen, USB option, you could use that. And you could

70
00:06:15,180 --> 00:06:19,360
just go right into zoom, you wouldn't have a whole lot of audio control, but you could

71
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:26,180
do it and record. And the recording options in zoom are really cool, because it allows

72
00:06:26,180 --> 00:06:31,880
you to record locally, if you wanted to just use locally, and you wouldn't come up against

73
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:37,340
that limit of the five gig, you could record locally, you don't get as many options for

74
00:06:37,340 --> 00:06:44,400
files when you do that. And I'll explain the files in zoom that come with a cloud recording.

75
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,420
Or you could record at the cloud, which is great, because then it doesn't have the processing

76
00:06:47,420 --> 00:06:50,460
power and you actually get a lot more video recordings and audio recordings that you can

77
00:06:50,460 --> 00:06:56,760
use later, while editing your podcast in a third party app like Adobe Audition or audacity

78
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:01,480
or something like that. And so let's let's talk a little bit about the settings that

79
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:08,500
I recommend in zoom first. And then we will go ahead and talk a little bit about what

80
00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:14,980
we want to do in zoom. So if you're looking at zoom, and you go into the settings, which

81
00:07:14,980 --> 00:07:20,860
I recommend that you do, so you are me go ahead and make that bigger, if I can't, I

82
00:07:20,860 --> 00:07:24,460
can't make that bigger. Okay, so in the settings and zoom that I would recommend is you go

83
00:07:24,460 --> 00:07:29,220
into the audio tab, and you're going to be able to set your speaker and your mic. And

84
00:07:29,220 --> 00:07:34,620
so that's going to be dependent on what you are actually doing with your mic and your

85
00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:41,980
speaker. Now, zoom has some audio profiles, because again, zoom is really just a audio

86
00:07:41,980 --> 00:07:47,580
conferencing thing. It's really meant for audio conferencing, or audio, but video, audio

87
00:07:47,580 --> 00:07:51,180
and video conferencing, it's not really meant for recording. Yes, you can do it, you can

88
00:07:51,180 --> 00:07:56,620
do a lot of things with zoom. But because of that it is, it is by default going to try

89
00:07:56,620 --> 00:08:04,260
and make the best audio quality for for the for you. And so by default, when you speak,

90
00:08:04,260 --> 00:08:08,020
it's going to try and isolate your voice. But if especially if you're doing things like

91
00:08:08,020 --> 00:08:13,300
this, where you have a soundboard, or you have things like that, it's going to pull

92
00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:16,780
up those things out because it's going to think that, hey, I'm trying to make it so

93
00:08:16,780 --> 00:08:22,260
that you can hear Andy's voice. And so audio profiles, zoom background noise removal is

94
00:08:22,260 --> 00:08:27,500
usually checked personalized audio isolation or original sound for musicians. And so I

95
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:33,020
suggest that you choose that and again, this is the audio that you're sending out to the

96
00:08:33,020 --> 00:08:37,380
to the zoom meeting. And so if you're having people on and you want them to hear your your

97
00:08:37,380 --> 00:08:42,060
sound, then you're going to want to turn this on original sound for musicians and same if

98
00:08:42,060 --> 00:08:46,420
your guest is playing something other than just their voice. But the nice thing about

99
00:08:46,420 --> 00:08:51,420
zoom is it does do a pretty decent job at isolating audio. And so if your guests are

100
00:08:51,420 --> 00:08:59,180
in a noisy room and not using a sound, a soundboard and using something like I'm using right now,

101
00:08:59,180 --> 00:09:05,020
then then and there is noise around them like my my soundboard is the roadcaster pro. And

102
00:09:05,020 --> 00:09:13,660
on the roadcaster Pro, it has an audio gate, it has a noise gate. And so if I'm quiet,

103
00:09:13,660 --> 00:09:19,260
you can't hear anything going on at all. If I'm quiet, and the dog starts barking, if

104
00:09:19,260 --> 00:09:23,740
I'm on a if I'm on a guest session, or if I'm somewhere, and I'm stopping talking, you

105
00:09:23,740 --> 00:09:29,300
can't hear what's in the background. Zoom does that for us a little bit. And again,

106
00:09:29,300 --> 00:09:33,100
like I was saying, in these settings, you want to go ahead and go into the original

107
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:37,940
sound for musicians, and I turn off five fidelity music, echo cancellation and stereo mode.

108
00:09:37,940 --> 00:09:43,740
Now one thing to know is, every time you're in a meeting, you have to turn it on and you

109
00:09:43,740 --> 00:09:47,660
don't turn on here, this is where you're saying you're allowing yourself the option, but you're

110
00:09:47,660 --> 00:09:52,820
not actually turning it on. And so if we go back into the zoom, and I'm going to go ahead

111
00:09:52,820 --> 00:09:57,220
and start a zoom meeting, just so you can see what it's like, if you're watching this

112
00:09:57,220 --> 00:10:01,840
on, oh, you're gonna get a nice, hey, that's kind of fun. You're gonna get a whole nice

113
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:07,740
thing. So essentially, I'm going to zoom meeting here. It was I had my video on and my video

114
00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:13,780
is feeding from my live stream. So it was making that nice little endless loop of video.

115
00:10:13,780 --> 00:10:19,420
So up in the right hand corner here, you're gonna see something that's called original

116
00:10:19,420 --> 00:10:24,140
sound, it has a little green badge. And it says original sound is free musicians off

117
00:10:24,140 --> 00:10:29,300
and you have this is the part you have to do every time you're in a meeting. Click that

118
00:10:29,300 --> 00:10:33,300
and now it says original sound for musician on and you get a thing saying original sound

119
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:41,780
is on noise suppression is disabled. And so now, if I talk or if I play my sound effects,

120
00:10:41,780 --> 00:10:48,380
people on my zoom meeting are gonna see and hear that because it's sending original sound

121
00:10:48,380 --> 00:10:56,460
for musician back in to the meeting. So that's one of the things that's that that is the

122
00:10:56,460 --> 00:11:01,940
the major thing that I would I would do for for you and your recording because again,

123
00:11:01,940 --> 00:11:06,240
you want to be able to send that musician that sound. Now if your guest is on a soundboard,

124
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:12,720
like the roadcaster pro like the Mac, easy as creator, all those other soundboards and

125
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,580
things like that, you're gonna want to have them turn that on too. And so you're gonna

126
00:11:16,580 --> 00:11:20,660
have to walk them through that because you want the best sound of coming through that

127
00:11:20,660 --> 00:11:27,060
you're, they're already producing a good sound. And so you want that sound to come through

128
00:11:27,060 --> 00:11:31,740
to them to you so that you can record it. So again, for me when I do a zoom meeting

129
00:11:31,740 --> 00:11:36,580
and I'm recording it, I'm still recording on my roadcaster pro I'm bringing the zoom

130
00:11:36,580 --> 00:11:42,260
audio in, you know, on my zoom. So for me, the roadcaster pro, if I had a zoom meeting

131
00:11:42,260 --> 00:11:46,660
going there's on the roadcaster pro there's three different USB channels, there's a USB

132
00:11:46,660 --> 00:11:54,460
main USB one chat in USB two. And I usually bring I usually bring things where I'm gonna

133
00:11:54,460 --> 00:12:00,180
have chat coming through into a chat into the chat channel that by default has the mix

134
00:12:00,180 --> 00:12:04,660
minus turned on. And you want that turned on because you don't want to feed that back

135
00:12:04,660 --> 00:12:08,140
and if you've never seen a mix minus I have an episode of mix minus so go back and listen

136
00:12:08,140 --> 00:12:15,380
to that and see what all mix minus is. You can find that at podcast answers.com but but

137
00:12:15,380 --> 00:12:21,540
you're gonna want to have that on for them to so if they're using a mixer board, turn

138
00:12:21,540 --> 00:12:29,580
on so for me what I do is an in zoom I have my mic and my speaker set as the USB chat

139
00:12:29,580 --> 00:12:34,500
channel on my road caster and then I can still control them coming in I can hear it I can

140
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:39,960
bring a volume up I can bring it down. I do my recording on the roadcaster even if I'm

141
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:46,900
bringing it in through zoom. But you do not have to do that. Because zoom has, like I

142
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:52,760
said, two different recording options recording locally, which allows you to get a recording

143
00:12:52,760 --> 00:13:00,040
of the audio and the video. And I believe you don't have any a lot of options in there.

144
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:08,440
And so you wouldn't be able to you wouldn't be able to have things go in there and have

145
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:13,100
all sorts of different different settings. So with with that, what I want to do is I

146
00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:21,780
want to, I want to take you into this is the zoom settings. So if you are in zoom, and

147
00:13:21,780 --> 00:13:27,640
you go to your settings for your account, and you go to the recordings tab, you'll see

148
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:33,220
a cloud recording. And it says allow hosts to record the following to the cloud. And

149
00:13:33,220 --> 00:13:37,020
there's a zoom meeting is what you want you want to allow that and then you can say these

150
00:13:37,020 --> 00:13:42,720
are the settings that you actually want to set record active speaker with shared screen.

151
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:48,060
So when you're if your guest shares screen, then you're going to also shoot shoes and

152
00:13:48,060 --> 00:13:53,280
see active speaker record gallery view with shared screen, turn that on. So you get the

153
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:58,500
gallery view with the shared screen on. If you want to go back and actually have video

154
00:13:58,500 --> 00:14:02,660
edit where you can see everybody in the mix and stuff like that. You're going to want

155
00:14:02,660 --> 00:14:08,780
all these check record active speaker gallery and shared screen separately. So this is active

156
00:14:08,780 --> 00:14:13,660
speaker, you'll get a file for the active speaker, you get a gallery view, and you get

157
00:14:13,660 --> 00:14:18,300
shared screen. So you'll actually get three different files of those things. And then

158
00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:22,700
here's the key, especially if you're going to be recording audio, and want this in maybe

159
00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:27,800
in post production, especially if you're not going to be recording on a roadcaster like

160
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:33,920
I am, I'm, I'm recording, I just use the zoom as a backup recording, in case I need to have

161
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:41,440
that. But what you would do is record one audio for all participants. So you get one

162
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:46,920
audio file, it's a mix down, record a separate audio for each participant. What that does,

163
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:52,840
is, is that allows you to have a mix minus, you can have a separate audio, not mix minus

164
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,620
sorry, a separate audio file for everybody. So in case they're Doug, they're Doug, their

165
00:14:57,620 --> 00:15:03,940
dog starts barking, then you can actually turn their channel down while somebody else

166
00:15:03,940 --> 00:15:09,500
is talking or what you're talking or something like that. And so that's, that's really the

167
00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:14,820
ones you want. You can also choose save chat messages from the meeting and webinar. And

168
00:15:14,820 --> 00:15:19,940
so that that allows you to go ahead and see any chat messages that are, you know, into

169
00:15:19,940 --> 00:15:24,000
your recording also. So those are the settings that you're going to want to record when zoom

170
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,120
and you and what's great is again, you record to the cloud, it's going to record all of

171
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,900
those things, it's going to have an audio file, one audio file for every participant

172
00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:36,760
recording separate audio tracks for each participant. So that way you can go ahead and use those

173
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:42,180
separately later. If someone was talking or forgot to mute their mic or whatever you can

174
00:15:42,180 --> 00:15:47,280
post production can take them and dip their audio volume down and then you don't hear

175
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,620
that in the final the final mix. And then if you are doing video, you know, you're gonna

176
00:15:51,620 --> 00:15:56,020
want separate audio recordings for active speaker gallery views shared screen. I want

177
00:15:56,020 --> 00:16:00,940
all the recordings that I can get because I want to be able to if I want to go in later

178
00:16:00,940 --> 00:16:07,100
and see, let's say I have 35 people on a zoom call, and I'm recording that now again, this

179
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:11,940
is probably not going to be for a podcast. But if I have 35 people on a zoom call, and

180
00:16:11,940 --> 00:16:17,100
I'm recording that I want to have the gallery view and active speaker separately, that way

181
00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:23,340
I can be mixing in the video in the audio if I want to have whoever speaking but then

182
00:16:23,340 --> 00:16:29,500
I want to go to like a audience shot, if you will, then I can see the gallery. I have that

183
00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:34,300
I can mix that in later, it's it's going to be something that I can I can use. So again,

184
00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:43,540
zoom is a good option. Now again, there are other options that are maybe better than zoom.

185
00:16:43,540 --> 00:16:50,060
If I'm thinking you know, there are there are some that do what they call a local recording.

186
00:16:50,060 --> 00:16:53,580
So it's essentially a double ender. And if you're not familiar with a double ender, what

187
00:16:53,580 --> 00:16:58,660
it is is it means if we're doing an interview, and let's say I was on the phone, so this

188
00:16:58,660 --> 00:17:04,860
goes this goes way back before internet and everything like that. What you would do is

189
00:17:04,860 --> 00:17:12,780
if I was talking to you in an interview, I would record on my machine locally. I would

190
00:17:12,780 --> 00:17:20,900
have my track local. I would be talking to you on the phone. But you would record local

191
00:17:20,900 --> 00:17:24,700
so I have a high quality of me and I have a high quality of you. I'm using the phone

192
00:17:24,700 --> 00:17:30,060
as the transport, the connect if you will, so we can hear each other. But at the end

193
00:17:30,060 --> 00:17:34,100
of the show, you send me your file. So I have a local copy, a good copy of mine and a good

194
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:42,620
copy of yours. I mix those together. It sounds like we're in the same room. There are products

195
00:17:42,620 --> 00:17:50,580
that do this now. So you have a local copy of yourself and you have a local copy of the

196
00:17:50,580 --> 00:17:55,460
guest and then they upload it actually uploads as you're talking but the recording happens

197
00:17:55,460 --> 00:17:59,540
locally on the machine. And the reason that this is important is because if you don't

198
00:17:59,540 --> 00:18:04,300
have a great internet, if you don't, if you have an internet dropout, if your internet

199
00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:10,340
is is kind of wonky, the delivery is wonky. Zoom, you'll start to get this artifacting

200
00:18:10,340 --> 00:18:17,060
robot sound type of a thing. And so that works. It's okay. It doesn't happen very often. But

201
00:18:17,060 --> 00:18:21,620
it does happen sometimes because the internet is a big pool of computers. And sometimes

202
00:18:21,620 --> 00:18:26,540
it takes a while to get from one to the other. And, and that audio quality can be degraded.

203
00:18:26,540 --> 00:18:31,740
So if you're using something like Riverside, then it records locally for you and it records

204
00:18:31,740 --> 00:18:35,460
locally for the guest and it brings them, uploads them to the internet. It makes the

205
00:18:35,460 --> 00:18:38,500
devil enter a whole lot easier because back in the day, when you did this, you record

206
00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:43,940
it and you have to use something like Dropbox or some other way to get the file to them.

207
00:18:43,940 --> 00:18:48,660
Riverside actually just uploads it seamlessly and then you can download it. The one issue

208
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:51,920
that I had with Riverside is even though I didn't, I was using it because I didn't have

209
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:57,040
super great internet. I still found it being an issue where my files wouldn't complete.

210
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:03,180
I wouldn't get the full thing. It just didn't work out for me. So I started using Zoom for

211
00:19:03,180 --> 00:19:09,300
my interviews. And while it does artifact and does have some issues, sometimes for the

212
00:19:09,300 --> 00:19:15,820
most part, it's a good product for the most part. It works well. And especially since

213
00:19:15,820 --> 00:19:20,540
I'm doing their producing and I have a local copy of my own voice because I am recording

214
00:19:20,540 --> 00:19:26,900
locally on my computer. So I do have my own voice locally. So I get the highest quality

215
00:19:26,900 --> 00:19:33,100
I can from me. People are going to be more likely to put up with a not quite as high

216
00:19:33,100 --> 00:19:39,860
quality from your guests because they know it's a guest. And so if it does artifact for

217
00:19:39,860 --> 00:19:44,220
a few seconds, it's probably not that big of a deal. I just find that Zoom is an easy

218
00:19:44,220 --> 00:19:51,100
thing to do. People have used it. People use Zoom all the time. People... Since the pandemic,

219
00:19:51,100 --> 00:19:56,300
people have gotten used to using Zoom. People know what Zoom is. People have Zoom on their

220
00:19:56,300 --> 00:20:00,460
computers already. It's really easy for them to join a link. They don't have to go, "Okay,

221
00:20:00,460 --> 00:20:03,780
you need to go to this website. You need to allow your camera. You need to do this. You

222
00:20:03,780 --> 00:20:11,740
need to do this because it's a website based thing." They know Zoom. They've used Zoom.

223
00:20:11,740 --> 00:20:15,580
And so it's easiest to say, "Let's just jump on a Zoom call together. I'm going to record

224
00:20:15,580 --> 00:20:23,140
it and let's just talk. Let's just have an interview face to face over Zoom." It works

225
00:20:23,140 --> 00:20:28,380
great. So guys, Zoom, yes, it does cost something, especially if you have the pro level or business

226
00:20:28,380 --> 00:20:33,780
level account. It is going to cost you some. And the more you pay, the better, the more

227
00:20:33,780 --> 00:20:37,600
features you get with Zoom. But for the most part, a pro account is going to be good for

228
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:45,020
what you're doing. It gets 5GB worth of recordings. And for me, I record it and I download it.

229
00:20:45,020 --> 00:20:49,900
I get rid of it off the cloud once I'm done. And that way, I don't take up my cloud recording

230
00:20:49,900 --> 00:20:56,500
in Zoom. So yes, it does cost something, but it is well worth it to make good quality,

231
00:20:56,500 --> 00:20:58,540
good sounding interviews in Zoom.

232
00:20:58,540 --> 00:21:02,740
Guys, thank you so much for listening, for hanging out. If you got questions, I would

233
00:21:02,740 --> 00:21:08,820
love to hear your questions. I'd love to answer your questions. You can go to podcastanswers.com/contact.

234
00:21:08,820 --> 00:21:17,420
Again, that is podcastanswers.com/contact. And you can contact me and ask your question.

235
00:21:17,420 --> 00:21:19,900
And I would love to answer your question for you.

236
00:21:19,900 --> 00:21:23,620
Guys, I'm going to be switching my recordings. Right now, I'm recording usually Tuesdays

237
00:21:23,620 --> 00:21:27,460
or Thursdays at noon Eastern. I'm going to go ahead and record. I think I'm going to

238
00:21:27,460 --> 00:21:30,700
switch to Tuesday evenings. I haven't decided on the time yet, but I would love to get more

239
00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:35,260
people on live. And I think people are going to be able to watch live more likely if we

240
00:21:35,260 --> 00:21:41,400
are not doing this during the day. So next week, look for a change in schedule. Have

241
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,500
a great week guys and keep podcasting.
