Seasoned podcaster Garry Kelly, Managing Director of GK Media, shares invaluable insights on creating a successful podcast, detailing how he built his professional studio in Galway and offering tips for new podcasters.
Key Takeaways:
- Start with just a good microphone - quality comes first. Acoustics matter more than equipment.
- Editing makes a big difference in polishing episodes. Be willing to trim and refine raw recordings.
- Add video elements to expand reach on social media. Clips on TikTok and YouTube can draw new listeners.
- Seek to constantly improve audio, visuals, equipment. Successful creators build skills over time.
- Focus on providing value for your audience above all else.
