Podcasting Show Notes
One of the things that has been consistently changing over the course of the first year at Sidepodcast, is the show notes we refer to when recording.
The first two shows we ever made – my 2006 championship review – were entirely scripted. If you’ve heard them, this will come as no surprise I’m sure. I was not at all confident about talking out loud and to be fair, I wasn’t totally sure I knew what I was saying. I’d read a few other reviews of the season and cobbled together my own.
The co-host was, of course, quite happy just to stand in front of the mic and throw in his comments as and when he felt like it.
After that first show, we realised that it probably wasn’t going to make a great podcast, listening to me reading out a previously written script. It was immediately obvious that it needed to be more of a conversation, but how much we needed to write down and how much would come naturally remains a matter of great consternation between us.
