Great Kev is there no end to your talents! you now have me hooked 😀
No problem JQ. We aren't up to the audio/visual standard we want at the moment but that's because we're recording over Zoom at present. Sometimes a lil bit of latency drops in.
My co-host edits and it isn't fair to have him go through everything with a fine tooth comb as editing and post takes long enough as it is. I source the guests, research them and areas of the topic then I do a pre-recording brief with the guests so they know what to expect on the day. Everyone has their own things that they are comfortable with and our guests are priority in that sense.
In future episodes and once more restrictions have lifted then we'll be recording in a studio space. That way we can work on bringing our guests in to record, use 4 channel and mid-side mic (which means we have even more control over background or ambient sound volumes), as well as shooting the whole thing on either a Black Magic or a Lumix GH5 (or something).
There's E1 on there already too (Separating Art) and E3 (Changing Your Name) goes out on April 2nd. From what we've heard and discussed, we're not going to get overly conscious of the final edit time. It really depends on the content discussed and with having guests on performing then that adds to the show time fairly organically. Having said that though, we'll make most of them inside 1hr30mins. Actual recording time can be longer but we're trying to gear everything towards a live show. It's not really a podcast more a slot on a radio show really - just we're only at the pre-recorded stage. On top of that we both have our individual schedules so finding a balance is important too
