1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,060
So you give them like a checklist almost if you will of the things that they should be

2
00:00:12,060 --> 00:00:14,500
doing in order to produce a good episode?

3
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:15,500
Yeah.

4
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:21,060
So we take about three to four weeks to release any podcast, right?

5
00:00:21,060 --> 00:00:27,060
And we bank five episodes, which we do with them, you know, which we record with them.

6
00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:29,880
And during that time, the training is ongoing.

7
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,640
So a lot of them speak faster and so they don't know how to breathe really well.

8
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,800
A lot of them have issues scripting because, you know, say for example, they come from

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:45,020
the print world and the way you write in a print format in that medium is very different

10
00:00:45,020 --> 00:00:48,460
from the way you'd write scripts for a podcast, right?

11
00:00:48,460 --> 00:00:49,920
Some of them don't even write a script.

12
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,440
And so you have to give them a little bit of structure.

13
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,880
So each person, each individual is very different.

14
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,100
And I coach them for about three to four weeks.

15
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:05,020
Apart from that, I have, you know, we have the HD Smartcast social media channels and

16
00:01:05,020 --> 00:01:09,820
I have my own social media channels where I keep putting out these small nuggets of

17
00:01:09,820 --> 00:01:15,020
information where, you know, people can just do a revision of the thoughts.

18
00:01:15,020 --> 00:01:21,420
Plus, we've come up, you've come on our show, yeh podcast, podcast kya hai, right?

19
00:01:21,420 --> 00:01:28,000
Where we have expert opinions, so anyone who needs to sort of, who needs a, you know, a

20
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,840
refresher course, who needs like a crash course in podcasting, who needs a follow up, they

21
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,420
can, there is enough information out there.

22
00:01:36,420 --> 00:01:43,840
And of course we also make ourselves available almost 24-7 to them so that they feel supported.

23
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:44,840
Yeah.

24
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:45,840
That's amazing.

25
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:52,320
I mean, it sounds like you basically take anybody who wants to create a show and you

26
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,000
give them all the tools necessary to make it happen.

27
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Absolutely.

28
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,120
Constantly, to be honest.

29
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,640
I mean, you know, because things keep changing in the podcasting world.

30
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,080
I mean, you've come up, RSS has come up with such amazing things already that we spoke

31
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,920
of in our episode on your podcast, what does, we were blown.

32
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:13,480
Everything keeps changing so fast.

33
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,640
So we keep refreshing the content as well.

34
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:18,880
The educational material that is there on podcasting.

35
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:19,880
That's amazing.

36
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,960
And what's interesting is I actually had the luxury of speaking to our founders for the

37
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:30,640
very first two episodes and just listening to them about all the things going on in the

38
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:32,680
background that a lot of people don't even realize.

39
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:38,520
Cause I mean, you know, you open your podcatcher, like your Google podcasts or your iTunes,

40
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:44,000
and you turn on your content, you listen to whoever it is that's speaking and you don't

41
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
realize all the moving parts going on in the background.

42
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,280
You don't realize that they're having to book the interviews.

43
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,120
They're having to write the podcast scripts.

44
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,120
They're having to put all these systems and processes in place.

45
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:17,840
And so to me, it sounds like what you do is an invaluable service.
