Hello there and welcome to this very
special bonus episode of In and Around
2
00:00:06,733 --> 00:00:07,403
Podcasting.
3
00:00:07,403 --> 00:00:12,453
My name is Mark Asquith and I'm joined
today by the wonderfully talented
4
00:00:12,453 --> 00:00:14,743
Katherine Ranis from Be Lightful Music.
5
00:00:14,743 --> 00:00:20,283
And I wanted to do this bonus episode to
talk about the music for the show, because
6
00:00:20,283 --> 00:00:21,943
music is a massive part of my life.
7
00:00:21,943 --> 00:00:25,913
And if you've seen the visuals for In and
Around Podcasting, whether that's in and
8
00:00:25,913 --> 00:00:30,473
around podcasting .com, whether you've
seen the podcast cover art in Spotify,
9
00:00:30,473 --> 00:00:31,805
Apple, Global Player,
10
00:00:31,805 --> 00:00:35,375
wherever you get your podcasts or indeed
the cover art over on YouTube, you will
11
00:00:35,375 --> 00:00:40,625
know that it's got quite a specific
aesthetic with the visuals.
12
00:00:40,625 --> 00:00:45,755
We wanted something very specific from and
of course the music had to match.
13
00:00:45,755 --> 00:00:50,345
This is not a podcast industry show that
is dry and that is going to leave you
14
00:00:50,345 --> 00:00:52,235
thinking, what did I just listen to?
15
00:00:52,235 --> 00:00:54,565
This is something a little different.
16
00:00:54,565 --> 00:00:56,735
So the music really had to stand up to
that.
17
00:00:56,735 --> 00:01:00,701
So I'm going to talk about what I asked
for and then the wonderful Catherine.
18
00:01:00,701 --> 00:01:05,211
is going to tell us exactly how she came
up with the wonderful, not only the theme
19
00:01:05,211 --> 00:01:11,461
tune, which is probably the biggest
earworm you're likely to hear this week,
20
00:01:11,461 --> 00:01:16,411
but also some of the little segment
pieces, some of the little switcheroo's
21
00:01:16,411 --> 00:01:18,621
that we're going to be using throughout
the show.
22
00:01:18,621 --> 00:01:21,481
And as the show matures, we'll introduce
more and more of them.
23
00:01:21,481 --> 00:01:23,361
So it's really quite interesting.
24
00:01:23,361 --> 00:01:24,821
So let's get to it.
25
00:01:24,821 --> 00:01:26,121
It's a really interesting concept.
26
00:01:26,121 --> 00:01:28,781
It's something that I'm excited to talk
about.
27
00:01:28,921 --> 00:01:29,797
So, Catherine.
28
00:01:29,797 --> 00:01:33,125
Welcome to the show, thank you for doing
this and thank you for this amazing music.
29
00:01:33,198 --> 00:01:33,968
Oh, you're welcome.
30
00:01:33,968 --> 00:01:34,848
It was my pleasure.
31
00:01:34,848 --> 00:01:35,478
I loved it.
32
00:01:35,478 --> 00:01:37,268
I still love it.
33
00:01:37,757 --> 00:01:39,047
It is a fun one, isn't it?
34
00:01:39,047 --> 00:01:40,527
And we're pretty local to each other.
35
00:01:40,527 --> 00:01:42,337
So we're both from Barnsley.
36
00:01:42,457 --> 00:01:47,137
When I wanted to do this, I wanted to use
someone that was local, someone that was
37
00:01:47,137 --> 00:01:47,727
highly talented.
38
00:01:47,727 --> 00:01:51,817
You actually came recommended through a
friend, Kevin Steele, down at the business
39
00:01:51,817 --> 00:01:56,057
village, I think, down in Barnsley, where
I used to have an office back in the day.
40
00:01:56,057 --> 00:01:58,637
And it was a weird one.
41
00:01:58,637 --> 00:02:00,509
I sort of knew what I wanted.
42
00:02:00,509 --> 00:02:03,919
And when I came across Be Lightful Music,
it was a no brainer.
43
00:02:03,919 --> 00:02:06,939
I mean, you're a multidisciplined
musician, highly talented, highly
44
00:02:06,939 --> 00:02:07,929
accomplished.
45
00:02:07,929 --> 00:02:11,429
So before we get to the brief, before we
get to what you came up with, just tell us
46
00:02:11,429 --> 00:02:12,429
a little bit about you.
47
00:02:12,429 --> 00:02:13,049
What do you do?
48
00:02:13,049 --> 00:02:13,829
What's your day to day?
49
00:02:13,829 --> 00:02:14,979
What is Be Lightful Music?
50
00:02:14,979 --> 00:02:18,869
What do you do in and around podcasting
and what else do you get up to?
51
00:02:18,872 --> 00:02:20,192
Okay.
52
00:02:20,192 --> 00:02:25,492
Well, I play piano flute and saxophone,
alto sax and tenor sax.
53
00:02:26,012 --> 00:02:31,522
And, um, delightful music was born as a
healing music because I'm really
54
00:02:31,522 --> 00:02:34,252
interested in frequencies, how they affect
our energies.
55
00:02:34,252 --> 00:02:39,582
And I've got a background in, in healing,
Reiki, um, crystal healing, all sorts of
56
00:02:39,582 --> 00:02:41,192
different magical things.
57
00:02:41,192 --> 00:02:44,496
Um, so during lockdown I was
58
00:02:44,496 --> 00:02:47,176
pushing more recording, because I lost all
my gigs.
59
00:02:47,176 --> 00:02:48,316
I'm a gigging musician.
60
00:02:48,316 --> 00:02:52,296
I'm back gigging thankfully, but I'm still
doing a lot of recording.
61
00:02:52,296 --> 00:02:56,746
I still record healing music, but I do,
I'm really passionate about audio
62
00:02:56,746 --> 00:02:57,216
branding.
63
00:02:57,216 --> 00:03:02,456
And what I can do is all the research I've
done around frequencies, how to attract
64
00:03:02,456 --> 00:03:05,976
the right energies for your business as
well as personal.
65
00:03:05,976 --> 00:03:11,316
I can use all that in a piece of music,
very, very subtle frequencies.
66
00:03:11,316 --> 00:03:13,006
It's not like just frequency noise.
67
00:03:13,006 --> 00:03:14,256
It's within the music.
68
00:03:14,256 --> 00:03:20,122
I'm very much a musician first and then
the frequency stuff is secondary to that.
69
00:03:21,405 --> 00:03:22,405
That's fascinating actually.
70
00:03:22,405 --> 00:03:24,565
Music's such a powerful thing.
71
00:03:24,565 --> 00:03:28,615
And that's why when I did the show, I
wanted to go all out with the music.
72
00:03:28,615 --> 00:03:29,725
I'm a huge music fan.
73
00:03:29,725 --> 00:03:31,125
I've got anyone that's watching this on
YouTube.
74
00:03:31,125 --> 00:03:33,815
I don't think you can quite see it
depending on how we've cut this video, but
75
00:03:33,815 --> 00:03:35,775
there's a Fender Jazz bass just behind me.
76
00:03:35,775 --> 00:03:37,265
There's an acoustic guitar.
77
00:03:37,305 --> 00:03:42,235
I'm by no stretch as accomplished or as
talented as you, but I like to play around
78
00:03:42,235 --> 00:03:45,665
and I've done it probably since I was
about 13, 14 years old.
79
00:03:45,665 --> 00:03:48,435
Started on jazz trombone, believe it or
not.
80
00:03:48,435 --> 00:03:51,042
Used to play for Durn Big Band and all
sorts of things.
81
00:03:51,042 --> 00:03:52,175
Big Band?
82
00:03:52,175 --> 00:03:55,145
Holland Hamilton was my teacher for 15, 20
years.
83
00:03:55,145 --> 00:03:55,325
Yeah.
84
00:03:55,325 --> 00:03:55,815
Good friend.
85
00:03:55,815 --> 00:03:56,555
Great friend of mine.
86
00:03:56,555 --> 00:03:56,815
Yeah.
87
00:03:56,815 --> 00:03:57,425
Yeah.
88
00:03:57,425 --> 00:03:59,555
Um, and he taught my mom and dad.
89
00:03:59,555 --> 00:03:59,905
I don't know.
90
00:03:59,905 --> 00:04:03,145
Did you, do you know Holland or did you
know Holland before he sadly passed?
91
00:04:03,465 --> 00:04:04,104
Yeah.
92
00:04:04,104 --> 00:04:08,644
I never played in his bands actually, but
yeah, he's renowned in this area.
93
00:04:08,644 --> 00:04:09,085
Yeah.
94
00:04:09,085 --> 00:04:10,225
Yeah, it was such a great week.
95
00:04:10,225 --> 00:04:13,395
I was so lucky at the school I went to
down in Falston because he was the music
96
00:04:13,395 --> 00:04:13,595
teacher.
97
00:04:13,595 --> 00:04:17,195
And it was all, you don't realize when
you're so young, but a lot of it was self
98
00:04:17,195 --> 00:04:18,875
-funded, a lot of very fond memories.
99
00:04:18,875 --> 00:04:22,955
And he got me, he got me into, into the
music side of things.
100
00:04:22,955 --> 00:04:26,375
And he taught, I've got a sort of family
connection.
101
00:04:26,375 --> 00:04:32,571
He taught my mom and my dad and my uncle
who my uncle's a tuba player, play for.
102
00:04:32,571 --> 00:04:35,861
Black Dyke and for Grimthorpe in
particular brass band and such.
103
00:04:35,861 --> 00:04:37,851
So it's, Holland was a huge part of that.
104
00:04:37,851 --> 00:04:41,871
So when it came to doing something like
this and even, even the last pod, or in
105
00:04:41,871 --> 00:04:47,261
fact, all the podcasts that I've ever done
has had music as intros that I've put
106
00:04:47,261 --> 00:04:48,561
together just for bands.
107
00:04:48,561 --> 00:04:52,141
So the podcast Accelerator, which was my
previous show and all the ones before it,
108
00:04:52,141 --> 00:04:56,041
they all had this kind of rock guitar
intro that was cut from a song that we did
109
00:04:56,041 --> 00:04:57,749
in...
110
00:04:57,757 --> 00:05:01,377
Um, it was in Glenn's studio down in
Barnsley.
111
00:05:01,477 --> 00:05:04,347
Um, you know, Glenn, I don't know if you
know Glenn Sutton from, but yeah, it was
112
00:05:04,347 --> 00:05:07,437
down at the, uh, uh, the skin boat
studios.
113
00:05:07,437 --> 00:05:10,647
And we cut it in there and used it as the
intro for years.
114
00:05:10,647 --> 00:05:15,757
And actually the trailer of this show
starts with that music.
115
00:05:15,757 --> 00:05:16,937
And it's a bit tongue in cheek.
116
00:05:16,937 --> 00:05:19,207
I say, look, you know, it's acted out.
117
00:05:19,207 --> 00:05:21,377
The trailer is very much a look.
118
00:05:21,377 --> 00:05:22,957
We can't use that again.
119
00:05:22,957 --> 00:05:26,417
We've got to do something better, which is
when you're beautiful, fantastic music
120
00:05:26,417 --> 00:05:27,229
comes in.
121
00:05:27,229 --> 00:05:33,179
Um, so it was, it was really important to
get someone that understood music and that
122
00:05:33,179 --> 00:05:36,119
really got it, but that we could do
something custom out of it and the lyrics
123
00:05:36,119 --> 00:05:36,419
for it.
124
00:05:36,419 --> 00:05:38,949
So when I found you, it was, it was like
this match made in heaven.
125
00:05:38,949 --> 00:05:47,229
Um, and the brief for anyone listening was
I wanted an old school TV theme song.
126
00:05:47,229 --> 00:05:53,799
I wanted something that was short, that
was sweet and that was so annoyingly
127
00:05:53,799 --> 00:05:56,517
catchy that you would not stop.
128
00:05:56,517 --> 00:05:57,817
singing it.
129
00:05:58,057 --> 00:06:00,777
And I mean, we've got two versions of the
intro.
130
00:06:00,777 --> 00:06:03,847
We've got the main one with this sort of
the sitcom -esque one.
131
00:06:03,847 --> 00:06:07,437
Then we've got the one that we call the
calamity one, which you'll hear dotted
132
00:06:07,437 --> 00:06:07,787
throughout.
133
00:06:07,787 --> 00:06:11,077
We're going to play, we'll play the intro
in just a few minutes and then we'll play
134
00:06:11,077 --> 00:06:12,737
the calamity one as well.
135
00:06:12,957 --> 00:06:17,277
But it was, it was, it was quite a weird
brief for me to write because it was so
136
00:06:17,277 --> 00:06:19,177
specific, but yet so broad.
137
00:06:19,177 --> 00:06:21,217
How did you get to approaching that?
138
00:06:21,217 --> 00:06:25,377
When, when, when you got that formula, how
do you even start something like this?
139
00:06:26,112 --> 00:06:30,652
just loved the brief from the first
contact that we had.
140
00:06:30,752 --> 00:06:33,152
And I knew you were from Boundsley and you
wanted someone like that.
141
00:06:33,152 --> 00:06:36,232
But I don't sing in a Boundsley accent
now, do I?
142
00:06:36,452 --> 00:06:39,397
So you can't tell I'm from Boundsley when
I'm singing.
143
00:06:39,397 --> 00:06:40,427
sing in a Barnsley accent.
144
00:06:40,427 --> 00:06:42,057
You should see some of the karaoke.
145
00:06:42,057 --> 00:06:44,817
Like we go to conferences and there's a
karaoke party.
146
00:06:44,817 --> 00:06:48,247
And I think I'm sound, you know, like
Lenny Kravitz, but I'm not, I'm sounding
147
00:06:48,247 --> 00:06:51,357
like, you know, Barman at Wetherspoons in
Barnsley.
148
00:06:51,357 --> 00:06:53,017
I sound so Barnsley.
149
00:06:53,017 --> 00:06:56,857
You do not sound Barnsley at all.
150
00:06:58,032 --> 00:07:02,112
I am Barnsley Mourn and Bred, but yeah,
flush that out when I'm singing.
151
00:07:02,452 --> 00:07:05,992
Yeah, it was just such a fun vibe of it.
152
00:07:05,992 --> 00:07:10,062
And I really wanted lots of different
things and things going off in it.
153
00:07:10,062 --> 00:07:11,532
I wanted it to be busy.
154
00:07:11,532 --> 00:07:16,532
And obviously the main thing was this
catchy tune, the melody of it.
155
00:07:16,532 --> 00:07:19,132
So I really wanted it to be tuned, but
simple.
156
00:07:19,132 --> 00:07:20,632
So it's a simple chord structure.
157
00:07:20,632 --> 00:07:21,972
I've not done anything.
158
00:07:21,972 --> 00:07:24,362
I've not rewritten jazz harmony there or
anything.
159
00:07:24,362 --> 00:07:25,776
It's a really...
160
00:07:25,776 --> 00:07:32,776
simple harmonic structure that allows the
melody to be, like you say, catchy,
161
00:07:32,776 --> 00:07:35,556
something really catchy, really clear.
162
00:07:35,576 --> 00:07:38,126
So what I'm saying is funny, it's
important.
163
00:07:38,126 --> 00:07:41,076
I want people to know exactly what I'm
saying.
164
00:07:41,076 --> 00:07:43,736
So hopefully that comes across as well.
165
00:07:43,736 --> 00:07:47,266
And just the whole vibe, after our first
meeting with you, I kind of got the vibe
166
00:07:47,266 --> 00:07:49,876
that, you know, it's fun.
167
00:07:49,976 --> 00:07:53,040
And I just wanted that energy all over it.
168
00:07:54,397 --> 00:07:56,237
Yeah, the energy is such a big thing.
169
00:07:56,237 --> 00:08:01,237
And the main version, which we're going to
play in just a moment, is I love it.
170
00:08:01,237 --> 00:08:05,377
I love the way that you'd used, like I'm
guessing it's some sort of envelope filter
171
00:08:05,377 --> 00:08:10,997
or whatever it is on the drums to sort of
bring that eighties, that eighties real
172
00:08:10,997 --> 00:08:12,467
kind of sitcom vibe to it.
173
00:08:12,467 --> 00:08:16,217
We've heard anyone will recognize that
kind of sound effect, but it was, I didn't
174
00:08:16,217 --> 00:08:16,717
expect it.
175
00:08:16,717 --> 00:08:17,567
I didn't expect it.
176
00:08:17,567 --> 00:08:19,997
And I'm a huge fan personally.
177
00:08:19,997 --> 00:08:22,909
I come a middle of the road Bon Jovi fan.
178
00:08:22,909 --> 00:08:25,569
You know, I'm like, give me some formula
rock.
179
00:08:25,569 --> 00:08:28,759
Yeah, I need that's what I need when I'm
running or whatever to put me in a good
180
00:08:28,759 --> 00:08:29,049
mood.
181
00:08:29,049 --> 00:08:33,929
So when when I heard the chord structure
and when it was it was so simple, but it
182
00:08:33,929 --> 00:08:36,799
allowed, like you said, the melody to
become such an earworm, I thought that
183
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:43,899
Catherine has just nailed that because I'm
a huge fan of just simple hooks that are
184
00:08:43,899 --> 00:08:45,789
really executed so very well.
185
00:08:45,789 --> 00:08:48,839
And you absolutely delivered on that one.
186
00:08:48,839 --> 00:08:51,387
But we ended up as well with this weird.
187
00:08:51,387 --> 00:08:53,887
calamity version of it, this sort of
country.
188
00:08:53,887 --> 00:08:55,007
Like, where did that come from?
189
00:08:55,007 --> 00:08:56,007
I didn't expect that.
190
00:08:56,007 --> 00:08:57,584
That was a nice little surprise.
191
00:08:57,584 --> 00:08:59,644
Yeah, I didn't expect that first either.
192
00:08:59,644 --> 00:09:03,224
So I've done the first one and I've worked
with a producer, my husband.
193
00:09:03,544 --> 00:09:07,974
So we put all those sounds together and we
just sort of said it.
194
00:09:07,974 --> 00:09:10,704
I think I suggested it to you as a joke
first.
195
00:09:10,704 --> 00:09:15,944
I said it really lend itself to, you know,
a spoof sort of thing with even more stuff
196
00:09:15,944 --> 00:09:18,314
going on and yeah, yeah.
197
00:09:18,314 --> 00:09:19,424
And it just works.
198
00:09:19,424 --> 00:09:22,924
So I said, well, we'll throw it together
and you loved it.
199
00:09:23,421 --> 00:09:24,881
It's absolutely perfect.
200
00:09:24,881 --> 00:09:28,501
And the way that I think we intend to use
that is the main shows, the main show
201
00:09:28,501 --> 00:09:29,201
theme.
202
00:09:29,201 --> 00:09:31,741
But there's a lot of weird stuff happens
in our industry.
203
00:09:31,741 --> 00:09:34,631
There's a lot of things that people
sometimes get, you know, a little bit
204
00:09:34,631 --> 00:09:34,891
awry.
205
00:09:34,891 --> 00:09:37,821
They go a little bit or a little bit off
kilter sometimes.
206
00:09:37,821 --> 00:09:45,825
And so because the show is quite a topical
show, we we will probably use that when.
207
00:09:46,141 --> 00:09:49,381
things I have gone a little bit awry when
there's a little bit of news in the
208
00:09:49,381 --> 00:09:52,041
industry where you think that's a little
bit shaky.
209
00:09:52,041 --> 00:09:52,651
And I love that.
210
00:09:52,651 --> 00:09:57,391
And I think as well personally, one of the
fascinating pieces of that surprise and
211
00:09:57,391 --> 00:10:01,601
having that, that audio to use and being
such a high level, but such a different
212
00:10:01,601 --> 00:10:05,381
version of the intro is that it keeps it
interesting as well.
213
00:10:05,381 --> 00:10:10,681
I think very often with podcasts, you can,
you, you always want that element of
214
00:10:10,681 --> 00:10:11,181
recognition.
215
00:10:11,181 --> 00:10:12,341
Of course it's the theme song.
216
00:10:12,341 --> 00:10:13,651
You want the recognition.
217
00:10:13,651 --> 00:10:15,645
It's short, it's punchy, it's an earworm.
218
00:10:15,901 --> 00:10:18,341
But it can get a little bit stale if I'm
hearing the same thing.
219
00:10:18,341 --> 00:10:22,691
So I think that the ability to shock
people about, oh, wait a second, that's
220
00:10:22,691 --> 00:10:23,731
different this week.
221
00:10:23,731 --> 00:10:24,981
Why is that different?
222
00:10:24,981 --> 00:10:28,911
So I was, wait a minute, I'm going to use
a fantastic pun here.
223
00:10:28,911 --> 00:10:31,581
I was belighted when you sent it.
224
00:10:31,581 --> 00:10:36,021
Oh, that is a terrible, terrible, terrible
pun.
225
00:10:36,021 --> 00:10:38,141
And I apologize to all concerned.
226
00:10:38,141 --> 00:10:42,161
Now, I am going to play for you the
listener.
227
00:10:42,161 --> 00:10:43,645
You'll have heard it at the beginning.
228
00:10:43,645 --> 00:10:49,495
of the episode, but I'm going to just play
the calamity version of the intro as well.
229
00:10:49,495 --> 00:10:51,425
So you'll have heard the main theme right
at the beginning.
230
00:10:51,425 --> 00:10:52,185
You can listen to that.
231
00:10:52,185 --> 00:10:53,445
And it was probably stuck in your head
already.
232
00:10:53,445 --> 00:10:57,365
But right now I am just going to play the
calamity version so you can hear that,
233
00:10:57,365 --> 00:10:58,905
because I think it's fantastic.
234
00:11:01,981 --> 00:11:07,531
Yeah, it sounds, it almost sounds like I'm
hobbling in on a horse, you know, and I'm
235
00:11:07,531 --> 00:11:09,653
going to park up my horse at the saloon.
236
00:11:10,096 --> 00:11:13,536
Yeah, and things are just falling about,
falling off the walls.
237
00:11:13,536 --> 00:11:14,637
Yeah.
238
00:11:14,637 --> 00:11:19,357
like some old carry on sort of, you know,
real kind of big sketch.
239
00:11:19,357 --> 00:11:21,877
Like you say, everything's going wrong, a
bit of a comedy of errors.
240
00:11:21,877 --> 00:11:22,917
So, yeah, I love that.
241
00:11:22,917 --> 00:11:23,737
I love that.
242
00:11:23,737 --> 00:11:25,297
Now, I want to switch gears a little bit.
243
00:11:25,297 --> 00:11:29,257
We've got some important pieces of the
puzzle.
244
00:11:29,257 --> 00:11:33,497
So for any podcaster listening out there,
what I wanted to do with this podcast was
245
00:11:33,497 --> 00:11:36,717
I didn't want it to be an industry show
that just talked about the industry or
246
00:11:36,717 --> 00:11:37,337
talked about us.
247
00:11:37,337 --> 00:11:40,917
So that that's reflected in the fact that
we have industry guests on, but we also
248
00:11:40,917 --> 00:11:41,625
have.
249
00:11:41,755 --> 00:11:45,475
in the creators on people that aren't
industry experts so that we can hear these
250
00:11:45,475 --> 00:11:47,385
powerful podcasting perspectives.
251
00:11:47,385 --> 00:11:51,875
I think it's very important that as an
industry show, we don't just give the view
252
00:11:51,875 --> 00:11:55,225
from the top because very often people
will say, well, OK, here's this thing
253
00:11:55,225 --> 00:11:57,485
happening at the highest level of
podcasting.
254
00:11:57,485 --> 00:12:01,295
And a lot of people forget about the
creator sat in their bedroom creating
255
00:12:01,295 --> 00:12:02,805
their podcast because they love it.
256
00:12:02,805 --> 00:12:06,505
And it's those kind of people that we want
to bring to the fore as well.
257
00:12:06,505 --> 00:12:07,675
So this is very, very powerful.
258
00:12:07,675 --> 00:12:08,973
And to do that.
259
00:12:09,085 --> 00:12:13,015
We didn't just want to talk about industry
developments or industry news.
260
00:12:13,015 --> 00:12:15,695
We wanted to do another couple of things.
261
00:12:15,695 --> 00:12:18,485
So we've actually got three segments of
the podcast.
262
00:12:18,485 --> 00:12:23,695
Much of these segments will be built out
using Captivate's dynamic content engine,
263
00:12:23,695 --> 00:12:24,575
which is called Amy.
264
00:12:24,575 --> 00:12:29,005
So what that means is that we'll record
some of the audio, but we'll use Captivate
265
00:12:29,005 --> 00:12:33,845
to insert the jingles, the segment breaks
and these three segments.
266
00:12:33,845 --> 00:12:37,213
I love them because again, the brief was
267
00:12:37,213 --> 00:12:38,303
go a bit sick on me.
268
00:12:38,303 --> 00:12:42,873
Let's go a bit radio, a bit catch phrase.
269
00:12:42,873 --> 00:12:45,693
So when we, when we, I grew up, I don't
know about you, Cassie.
270
00:12:45,693 --> 00:12:51,113
I grew up watching bullseye in the UK, you
know, a Jim bowing, your bus fare home.
271
00:12:51,113 --> 00:12:53,773
Remember that I want to like that cheesy
vibe.
272
00:12:53,773 --> 00:12:55,703
I want to gladiators on a Saturday night.
273
00:12:55,703 --> 00:12:57,183
I wanted the generation game.
274
00:12:57,183 --> 00:13:01,063
I wanted all of that in a podcast mini
jingle.
275
00:13:01,063 --> 00:13:04,099
So when we did these segments, we named
them.
276
00:13:04,099 --> 00:13:04,619
suitably.
277
00:13:04,619 --> 00:13:07,449
So I'm going to play you these three
segments and I'm going to just explain
278
00:13:07,449 --> 00:13:07,959
what they are.
279
00:13:07,959 --> 00:13:12,399
And then Catherine will talk about in
particular just how you came up with these
280
00:13:12,399 --> 00:13:15,929
ideas as well, because they do have a
slightly different vibe to them.
281
00:13:15,929 --> 00:13:20,189
So the first one I'm going to play for you
now is the wonderfully whimsical
282
00:13:20,189 --> 00:13:22,431
podcasting wishlist.
283
00:13:23,997 --> 00:13:31,327
This is very much for when we as creators,
as industry thinkers, when we start to
284
00:13:31,327 --> 00:13:34,557
think about where the industry could go,
what would we like from the industry?
285
00:13:34,557 --> 00:13:35,917
It's our wish list.
286
00:13:35,917 --> 00:13:38,927
It's something that we dream of in the
industry.
287
00:13:38,927 --> 00:13:40,677
So that segment's really, really powerful.
288
00:13:40,677 --> 00:13:43,927
The next one is this is an interesting
one.
289
00:13:43,927 --> 00:13:46,357
It's again, another terrible pun.
290
00:13:46,357 --> 00:13:48,381
It's called the wave file.
291
00:13:50,461 --> 00:13:56,621
And the wave file is very much about us
highlighting other podcasts.
292
00:13:56,621 --> 00:14:01,901
So anytime you hear the wave file intro,
the segment jingle, the cut, you are going
293
00:14:01,901 --> 00:14:03,381
to be introduced to another podcast.
294
00:14:03,381 --> 00:14:06,851
We're going to be inserting trailers from
across the world of podcasting from
295
00:14:06,851 --> 00:14:11,111
independent creators up to the shows that
we love and adore on a bigger scale.
296
00:14:11,111 --> 00:14:14,661
We're going to we're going to work with
everyone on this to highlight as many new
297
00:14:14,661 --> 00:14:15,991
podcasts as we can.
298
00:14:15,991 --> 00:14:19,325
So the wave file is our way of giving a
little bit of a wave.
299
00:14:19,325 --> 00:14:23,985
to creators doing wonderful work and
helping you to discover new shows as well.
300
00:14:24,125 --> 00:14:30,685
Perhaps my favorite segment though is,
again, I just think I'm terrible at puns,
301
00:14:30,685 --> 00:14:31,605
but we rolled with it.
302
00:14:31,605 --> 00:14:34,279
This is called the Flattering Ram.
303
00:14:36,317 --> 00:14:41,537
The logic behind the flattering Ram is
that sometimes we can get a little bit
304
00:14:41,537 --> 00:14:44,437
heavy with a podcast and especially an
industry podcast.
305
00:14:44,437 --> 00:14:45,857
We can get a little negative.
306
00:14:45,857 --> 00:14:48,297
We can get a little, here's everything
that's wrong.
307
00:14:48,297 --> 00:14:49,597
We didn't want to do that.
308
00:14:49,597 --> 00:14:54,237
So instead of it being a battery Ram, we
wanted this to be the flattering Ram where
309
00:14:54,237 --> 00:15:00,687
we take someone that is in the podcasting
industry doing great work or that we just
310
00:15:00,687 --> 00:15:01,767
think is fantastic.
311
00:15:01,767 --> 00:15:02,807
And we flatter them.
312
00:15:02,807 --> 00:15:05,917
Now we might flatter their wonderful work.
313
00:15:05,917 --> 00:15:07,617
We might flatter their show.
314
00:15:07,617 --> 00:15:10,957
We might flatter something they've said,
or we might just like them.
315
00:15:10,957 --> 00:15:13,017
We might just flatter their wonderful
haircut.
316
00:15:13,017 --> 00:15:16,437
We might just flatter something that we've
seen them do that was fun.
317
00:15:16,437 --> 00:15:19,557
We might just flatter something that we've
seen them wear.
318
00:15:19,557 --> 00:15:24,327
But the point is to highlight good people
in a positive way.
319
00:15:24,327 --> 00:15:26,897
So these segments, they're really, really
powerful.
320
00:15:26,897 --> 00:15:30,767
And Catherine, when I came to you with
these little mini segments, these are
321
00:15:30,767 --> 00:15:31,527
quite coral.
322
00:15:31,527 --> 00:15:35,773
These are quite, they are quite whimsical.
323
00:15:35,773 --> 00:15:37,633
I what was the approach to that?
324
00:15:37,633 --> 00:15:42,853
Because they clearly tie with the intro
music, but they are rather different as
325
00:15:42,853 --> 00:15:43,373
well.
326
00:15:43,373 --> 00:15:45,328
Talk to us a little bit about that
approach.
327
00:15:45,328 --> 00:15:45,788
Yeah.
328
00:15:45,788 --> 00:15:51,938
Well, the whimsical one, just the word
whimsical, I just, I just had to just, I
329
00:15:51,938 --> 00:15:53,388
mean, I've got a piano in front of me
here.
330
00:15:53,388 --> 00:15:54,708
That's why I'm just looking down.
331
00:15:54,708 --> 00:16:01,088
I just immediately, it just needed to be
whimsical.
332
00:16:01,968 --> 00:16:05,208
Just that word is so descriptive, isn't
it?
333
00:16:05,208 --> 00:16:10,468
And I knew that sound that had to come
across a little bit magical and yeah.
334
00:16:10,588 --> 00:16:13,506
And the flattering rams just, yeah.
335
00:16:13,535 --> 00:16:14,895
is clear.
336
00:16:14,895 --> 00:16:16,425
Like you even draw the word out.
337
00:16:16,425 --> 00:16:16,825
I love it.
338
00:16:16,825 --> 00:16:17,808
I think it's perfect.
339
00:16:17,808 --> 00:16:23,428
Yeah, yeah, which then when I went onto
the wave file, I think we had a couple of
340
00:16:23,428 --> 00:16:30,548
attempts at this, because I'd sort of
gone, the wave file, and it were a bit too
341
00:16:30,548 --> 00:16:32,498
jazz hands, I think, maybe, or slow.
342
00:16:32,498 --> 00:16:34,648
And I think we shortened it.
343
00:16:34,648 --> 00:16:38,548
So I think there's a couple of versions
floating around of that one.
344
00:16:39,308 --> 00:16:43,488
But yeah, I do tend to do things slower
than, I don't know why I do things so
345
00:16:43,488 --> 00:16:43,708
slow.
346
00:16:43,708 --> 00:16:45,456
So yeah, that were a good call.
347
00:16:45,456 --> 00:16:50,596
to be a bit more snappy, but the vocal
harmony is massive on that one.
348
00:16:50,596 --> 00:16:55,896
It's really layered up to give that
massive sound, because wave files are much
349
00:16:55,896 --> 00:16:58,141
bigger than MP3s, so.
350
00:16:58,141 --> 00:16:59,021
I love that.
351
00:16:59,021 --> 00:16:59,541
I love that.
352
00:16:59,541 --> 00:17:01,001
You're also a pun queen.
353
00:17:01,001 --> 00:17:01,621
I love this.
354
00:17:01,621 --> 00:17:02,821
This is perfect.
355
00:17:02,821 --> 00:17:06,491
That you're right as well, because a lot
of the harmonies are really close on that.
356
00:17:06,491 --> 00:17:10,721
Like I'm a huge fan of like, obviously the
layered harmonies, but I'm generally a
357
00:17:10,721 --> 00:17:10,881
fan.
358
00:17:10,881 --> 00:17:15,571
This is probably my Bon Jovi era coming
out, but just a close harmony like the Bon
359
00:17:15,571 --> 00:17:16,581
Jovi and the Sambor.
360
00:17:16,581 --> 00:17:18,241
They're always very close harmonies.
361
00:17:18,241 --> 00:17:19,071
It's never a faith.
362
00:17:19,071 --> 00:17:19,941
It's never something weird.
363
00:17:19,941 --> 00:17:23,621
It's always a very close harmony that's
following the melody.
364
00:17:23,621 --> 00:17:25,521
So I really like that.
365
00:17:25,521 --> 00:17:26,401
It's got airs.
366
00:17:26,401 --> 00:17:27,677
Again, I'm showing my age.
367
00:17:27,677 --> 00:17:32,357
I'm showing my education in music, which
is is dragged up by my mom and dad.
368
00:17:32,357 --> 00:17:36,457
But it's it's got a bit of a queen feel, a
bit of a journey feel to it, you know,
369
00:17:36,457 --> 00:17:41,537
from a rock perspective, it's got that,
you know, a rock band with choral
370
00:17:41,537 --> 00:17:44,237
training, which is sometimes like the
journey and Queen had that sort of
371
00:17:44,237 --> 00:17:45,297
operatic training in there.
372
00:17:45,297 --> 00:17:46,587
So it is very laid.
373
00:17:46,587 --> 00:17:47,707
And I really like that.
374
00:17:47,707 --> 00:17:50,407
Was it was that always the intent with
that?
375
00:17:50,407 --> 00:17:53,917
Did you want that to feel like that or was
that something that was quite an
376
00:17:53,917 --> 00:17:54,823
evolution?
377
00:17:55,216 --> 00:17:58,856
But that's my signature sound really to
build up harmonies.
378
00:17:58,856 --> 00:18:04,436
So from the healing music, that's all
layered up harmony.
379
00:18:04,436 --> 00:18:07,196
I love to use my voice in harmony.
380
00:18:07,196 --> 00:18:12,046
Cause when I started doing that type of
music, I was searching for a synth sound,
381
00:18:12,046 --> 00:18:13,616
which would create that.
382
00:18:13,616 --> 00:18:17,636
And I was just so disappointed, literally
pressing buttons going, that's not it,
383
00:18:17,636 --> 00:18:19,616
that's not it, that's not it, no.
384
00:18:19,616 --> 00:18:21,396
An hour later, I'll just do it myself.
385
00:18:21,396 --> 00:18:22,356
I'll use my voice.
386
00:18:22,356 --> 00:18:23,306
That's what I want.
387
00:18:23,306 --> 00:18:25,276
I want this layered.
388
00:18:25,424 --> 00:18:26,724
And I love doing it.
389
00:18:26,724 --> 00:18:31,144
And it's really labor intensive because I
triple track each harmony.
390
00:18:31,144 --> 00:18:39,924
So if it's four part harmony, there'll be
16 of me all in, oh, just this ethereal
391
00:18:39,924 --> 00:18:40,324
sound.
392
00:18:40,324 --> 00:18:44,794
So that, I mean, I love to do that so that
I could get my signature sound into that
393
00:18:44,794 --> 00:18:50,504
somehow, even though it's different vibe
to it, it's still the harmonic build up.
394
00:18:50,504 --> 00:18:54,216
Yeah, that's what I love to do.
395
00:18:54,973 --> 00:18:55,773
Oh, that's fantastic.
396
00:18:55,773 --> 00:18:57,293
Yeah, I think it sounds amazing.
397
00:18:57,293 --> 00:18:57,933
It's everything.
398
00:18:57,933 --> 00:19:00,953
I wanted that full sound, but something
light, if that makes sense.
399
00:19:00,953 --> 00:19:03,033
And it works so well.
400
00:19:03,033 --> 00:19:04,723
It's the same with the flattering ram as
well.
401
00:19:04,723 --> 00:19:06,793
I think that's a very similar vibe.
402
00:19:07,093 --> 00:19:10,733
And it's because I wanted this show to be
very positive.
403
00:19:10,733 --> 00:19:14,763
I wanted it to be very even if there's
something difficult to talk about in
404
00:19:14,763 --> 00:19:19,333
podcasting, my personal brand and the
brand of everything that we've ever built
405
00:19:19,333 --> 00:19:21,373
is very much a fair brand.
406
00:19:21,373 --> 00:19:22,525
It's very much a
407
00:19:22,525 --> 00:19:24,355
The approach is an open approach.
408
00:19:24,355 --> 00:19:25,625
It's never trashing people.
409
00:19:25,625 --> 00:19:29,915
It's never, it's never almost taking
sides.
410
00:19:29,915 --> 00:19:35,515
It's very objective and pragmatic, but
from the perspective of fairness and it
411
00:19:35,515 --> 00:19:38,345
just, the music just fits that brand so
well.
412
00:19:38,345 --> 00:19:42,465
And just, I think on the back of that,
there's something interesting in this one.
413
00:19:42,465 --> 00:19:46,335
Cause you actually, you've done a lot more
podcasting music since we worked together.
414
00:19:46,335 --> 00:19:51,937
You've done a lot more intros, a lot more
business podcast branding as it's become.
415
00:19:52,291 --> 00:19:56,211
Ironically, it's become more relevant in
more local areas like a barns.
416
00:19:56,211 --> 00:19:58,901
I remember when people in barns, they
thought I was crazy for getting involved
417
00:19:58,901 --> 00:20:00,521
in podcasting, but now everyone's doing
it.
418
00:20:00,521 --> 00:20:03,261
Everyone's still, you know, is in
podcasting.
419
00:20:03,441 --> 00:20:08,451
How have you approached, for example, like
business shows where they've come to you
420
00:20:08,451 --> 00:20:11,981
and they said, look, Catherine, we need an
intro.
421
00:20:11,981 --> 00:20:14,541
How have you managed to?
422
00:20:14,541 --> 00:20:19,421
I suppose, bring your level of of talent
and skill and expertise.
423
00:20:19,421 --> 00:20:22,361
but keep it diverse enough and relevant
enough for each person.
424
00:20:22,361 --> 00:20:22,501
Sure.
425
00:20:22,501 --> 00:20:25,036
Has that been quite a challenge because
everyone is different?
426
00:20:25,036 --> 00:20:27,236
Yeah, I love it actually.
427
00:20:27,236 --> 00:20:30,116
I sort of do a deep dive into their
business.
428
00:20:30,116 --> 00:20:34,236
So I'll look at the visual brandings and
I'll look at them as, you the face of the
429
00:20:34,236 --> 00:20:35,116
business.
430
00:20:35,116 --> 00:20:43,706
And also, like I said, the research, so
for example, I did little audio idents for
431
00:20:43,706 --> 00:20:45,576
a financial company.
432
00:20:45,596 --> 00:20:48,634
Now the chakra, the solar plexus chakra.
433
00:20:48,634 --> 00:20:52,774
It has the color yellow and it's all about
prosperity and financial abundance and all
434
00:20:52,774 --> 00:20:53,724
this sort of things.
435
00:20:53,724 --> 00:20:59,404
And so there's a key, a tonality on the
piano, on any musical instrument that
436
00:20:59,404 --> 00:21:04,664
represents that, that will put that vibe
out there.
437
00:21:04,664 --> 00:21:06,994
So obviously I went with that key.
438
00:21:06,994 --> 00:21:08,174
So that's my starting point.
439
00:21:08,174 --> 00:21:15,988
I know what key I'm in and I can tell from
the people I'm meeting in the business.
440
00:21:16,016 --> 00:21:21,076
the vibe of it and I look at all their
website and how all that flows.
441
00:21:21,076 --> 00:21:26,986
And actually for this particular one, I
used their word as a percussive sound for
442
00:21:26,986 --> 00:21:27,196
it.
443
00:21:27,196 --> 00:21:31,136
And that was the start point then, the
percussive sound and that which not
444
00:21:31,136 --> 00:21:35,756
everyone upon hearing it would go, oh yes,
that's indicative of the word.
445
00:21:35,876 --> 00:21:40,166
But it was a starting point for it and it
just adds a little clever thing.
446
00:21:40,166 --> 00:21:44,676
And when I explained what I'd done, they
were like, wow, we would never have
447
00:21:44,676 --> 00:21:45,136
thought.
448
00:21:45,136 --> 00:21:46,576
to do that.
449
00:21:46,596 --> 00:21:50,796
So, so that, and that's a different, I
don't think I've ever done, used the word
450
00:21:50,796 --> 00:21:53,656
of the business in the theme before.
451
00:21:53,656 --> 00:21:57,436
So, so that was a total different way to
work for that one.
452
00:21:57,436 --> 00:22:02,496
And another way to work was a podcast
theme tune I did for a lovely lady.
453
00:22:02,496 --> 00:22:04,316
And she sang me the theme tune.
454
00:22:04,316 --> 00:22:07,536
She says, I've got this tune in my, she
like, she plays a little bit and she sings
455
00:22:07,536 --> 00:22:08,206
a little bit.
456
00:22:08,206 --> 00:22:11,496
She says, I'm not a musician, but I've
just got this melody idea.
457
00:22:11,496 --> 00:22:13,936
There was no chords behind it or anything.
458
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,530
So she sung it down the phone and I was, I
was dutting about, right, right.
459
00:22:18,530 --> 00:22:20,480
I've got it, I've got it, I've got it,
I've got to go.
460
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,060
I didn't want to talk about it anymore.
461
00:22:22,060 --> 00:22:23,620
I've got it, I've got it.
462
00:22:23,620 --> 00:22:28,060
And I immediately put the harmonic
structure behind it and made it into, made
463
00:22:28,060 --> 00:22:29,100
it into a melody.
464
00:22:29,100 --> 00:22:32,680
And I padded that out again with the
vocals and a saxophone melody.
465
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,000
She specifically wanted a saxophone theme
tune.
466
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,050
And we put the whole package together.
467
00:22:38,050 --> 00:22:43,440
So she had lots of little audio items to
put in throughout the podcast.
468
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,300
And then when we'd finished the whole
package and everything were done, signed
469
00:22:47,300 --> 00:22:53,910
off, done, she run me up, she says, will
you just do me like a 10 minute version of
470
00:22:53,910 --> 00:22:56,660
just piano solo, like just the backing.
471
00:22:56,660 --> 00:23:02,860
And she uses it for her own sort of, her
own theme tune when she's preparing for
472
00:23:02,860 --> 00:23:07,550
something and she needs to relax and get
into the zone, but she loves the whole
473
00:23:07,550 --> 00:23:08,160
theme of it.
474
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,656
And it brings her back to business and
what she's on for that day.
475
00:23:12,656 --> 00:23:18,396
So she's got her own bespoke version for
her to use for a personal life.
476
00:23:18,396 --> 00:23:22,170
And yeah, it was such a brilliant package
to put together for her.
477
00:23:23,101 --> 00:23:23,631
I love that.
478
00:23:23,631 --> 00:23:24,441
That's tons of fun.
479
00:23:24,441 --> 00:23:27,251
And what an interesting use case as well,
because she'll be able to use that across
480
00:23:27,251 --> 00:23:29,841
videos and speaking gigs as well if she
wants to.
481
00:23:29,841 --> 00:23:32,031
And just to bring her back into focus, I
think is fascinating.
482
00:23:32,031 --> 00:23:37,581
And what you said about using the business
name as a percussive thing or a rhythmic
483
00:23:37,581 --> 00:23:38,361
thing.
484
00:23:38,361 --> 00:23:40,841
I'm a huge John Williams fan.
485
00:23:40,861 --> 00:23:46,281
So, you know, I remember vividly being
stood in front of the record player when I
486
00:23:46,281 --> 00:23:47,441
was about three years old.
487
00:23:47,441 --> 00:23:50,717
And I still actually do this, but I don't
stand in front of the record player.
488
00:23:50,717 --> 00:23:53,497
But I listened to it just as much the
Superman theme tune.
489
00:23:53,497 --> 00:23:56,997
And that was that was probably the first
time that I ever came across that.
490
00:23:56,997 --> 00:23:58,747
Like, wait a minute, the music just talked
to me.
491
00:23:58,747 --> 00:23:59,217
What is this?
492
00:23:59,217 --> 00:24:00,677
This is this is fascinating.
493
00:24:00,677 --> 00:24:06,357
So to see see that logic applied to
something that let's be honest, it's
494
00:24:06,357 --> 00:24:06,747
business.
495
00:24:06,747 --> 00:24:10,587
A lot of people would think, well, wait a
minute, you know, how how can we do
496
00:24:10,587 --> 00:24:15,777
something this good with business because
people that don't associate that.
497
00:24:15,777 --> 00:24:19,229
And it just goes to show, I think that
just because.
498
00:24:19,229 --> 00:24:23,089
It's business and it has to be
professional and theoretically it can be a
499
00:24:23,089 --> 00:24:23,469
little bit dry.
500
00:24:23,469 --> 00:24:25,089
It shows that it doesn't have to be dry.
501
00:24:25,089 --> 00:24:26,489
It can be creative.
502
00:24:26,489 --> 00:24:29,859
It can be as creative as anything else.
503
00:24:29,859 --> 00:24:35,149
And it's just, I think that is such an
understated thought process, certainly for
504
00:24:35,149 --> 00:24:35,799
business owners.
505
00:24:35,799 --> 00:24:38,469
I think that's so important, really,
really important.
506
00:24:38,469 --> 00:24:41,809
And we're going to stick a pin in it in
just a second, because I think this is
507
00:24:41,809 --> 00:24:43,239
such an interesting deep dive.
508
00:24:43,239 --> 00:24:46,461
But what I want to do is just shout out as
well.
509
00:24:46,461 --> 00:24:49,421
to all you listening out there, anyone
listening, anyone that's interested in
510
00:24:49,421 --> 00:24:54,921
this element of in and around podcasting,
we have put a lyric sheet together.
511
00:24:54,921 --> 00:24:58,561
You don't need to give us your email
address or anything silly like that.
512
00:24:58,721 --> 00:25:03,701
Just on the website, in the show notes of
this episode, whether you're listening in
513
00:25:03,701 --> 00:25:08,061
Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Global
Player, or in and around podcasting .com,
514
00:25:08,061 --> 00:25:13,501
there's a lyric sheet, an old school lyric
sheet that's got the words to...
515
00:25:13,501 --> 00:25:17,731
the theme tune on and you will see that
when I wrote this, the lyrics and then
516
00:25:17,731 --> 00:25:19,761
Catherine so wonderfully brought it to
life.
517
00:25:19,761 --> 00:25:23,561
I really wanted to just go straight at
what this brand means because it's not
518
00:25:23,561 --> 00:25:25,601
just for the geeks and for the OGs.
519
00:25:25,601 --> 00:25:28,381
It's for everyone that is in and around
podcasting.
520
00:25:28,381 --> 00:25:29,441
So go get the lyric sheet.
521
00:25:29,441 --> 00:25:31,911
You don't need to give us an email or
anything, anything crazy like that.
522
00:25:31,911 --> 00:25:33,141
It's just there's a link.
523
00:25:33,141 --> 00:25:35,381
It's just fun.
524
00:25:35,381 --> 00:25:36,471
So Catherine, thank you so much.
525
00:25:36,471 --> 00:25:37,541
Be light for music.
526
00:25:37,541 --> 00:25:39,371
Is it well, you're online, you're
everywhere.
527
00:25:39,371 --> 00:25:43,069
The Twitter, the LinkedIn, the Internet's
what's the?
528
00:25:43,069 --> 00:25:45,559
What are all the places anyone can find
you online?
529
00:25:45,936 --> 00:25:47,496
Instagram as well.
530
00:25:47,496 --> 00:25:51,516
So if you search, Be Lightful Music,
Instagram is Be Lightful Underscore Music
531
00:25:51,516 --> 00:25:56,506
and just search Be Lightful Music,
Facebook and then LinkedIn is just my
532
00:25:56,506 --> 00:26:00,556
name, Katherine with a C, Rannis, R -A -N
-N -U -S.
533
00:26:00,556 --> 00:26:04,226
And if you search that across Instagram
and Facebook as well, I've got my live
534
00:26:04,226 --> 00:26:07,056
music, cause I am a gigging musician as
well.
535
00:26:07,056 --> 00:26:12,276
So I manage two pages on each platform,
which is a nightmare.
536
00:26:14,717 --> 00:26:16,237
Catherine really is fantastic as well.
537
00:26:16,237 --> 00:26:17,407
Highly recommend you check it out.
538
00:26:17,407 --> 00:26:18,787
Some of the LinkedIn posts that she puts.
539
00:26:18,787 --> 00:26:22,587
Actually, I'm going to be honest with you,
I'm not a huge LinkedIn fan, but your
540
00:26:22,587 --> 00:26:26,167
posts are becoming more and more frequent
in my timeline because they're the only
541
00:26:26,167 --> 00:26:28,387
ones that I watch when you're playing or
when you're recording.
542
00:26:28,387 --> 00:26:29,517
I think they're fascinating.
543
00:26:29,517 --> 00:26:33,827
So if you are a podcaster looking for some
outstanding intro music or some theme
544
00:26:33,827 --> 00:26:35,757
work, please do let Catherine know.
545
00:26:35,757 --> 00:26:37,497
She really is wonderful.
546
00:26:37,497 --> 00:26:41,367
And if you enjoyed this bonus episode, I'm
just getting you into the vibe of in and
547
00:26:41,367 --> 00:26:42,277
around podcasting.
548
00:26:42,277 --> 00:26:43,037
Danny and I...
549
00:26:43,037 --> 00:26:47,607
are going to talk on another bonus episode
about why we put this show together, what
550
00:26:47,607 --> 00:26:48,347
it stands for.
551
00:26:48,347 --> 00:26:52,347
Of course, you can share the trailer with
all of your friends who are in and around
552
00:26:52,347 --> 00:26:57,697
podcasting and you can check us out on
YouTube, Apple, Spotify, Global Player and
553
00:26:57,697 --> 00:27:02,227

you get your podcast, but also in and
554
00:27:02,227 --> 00:27:04,987
