Dr Nursers Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Just a quick post on one challenge for podcasts - do you keep things as audio only or move to video? With The Keyboard Chronicles, we've decided (after 40 episodes) to move to BOTH. The audio only route has worked well to date, but we've decided to expand things to video. This will create a lot more work for each episode, but we're also hopeful it expands our audience even further. One advantage of the video is that subscribers can see the guest, who may be a hero / inspiration of theirs. It also perosnalises the hosts a little more I think. It will be an interesting journey and will report back. Paul and I have recorded our first two video episodes (plus two bonus content episodes) this week, with another guest coming in on Thursday, so plenty in the can to edit. Love to hear your thoughts! Also please note Paul's t-shirt @Dave Bryce 3 Quote The Keyboard Chronicles Podcast My Music: Stainless Fields Check out your fellow forumites in an Apple Music playlist Check out your fellow forumites in a Spotify playlist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Ack! We have to see the faces that make these crazy accents now??? 🙈 Actually, having podcasts on that site will probably increase your audience via people searching for the guests.

Indeed All the previous episodes are on YouTube now, but as audio only and they only get a tiny percentage of the audience that the overall podcast has. Having the video versions should make it better - I've even purchased Final Cut Pro to try and make the video (but not me) pretty 1 Quote The Keyboard Chronicles Podcast My Music: Stainless Fields Check out your fellow forumites in an Apple Music playlist Check out your fellow forumites in a Spotify playlist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure there isn't some "Brad Pitterizer" or "George Clooneyizer" in there? Heck, even a "George Costanzarizer" would be an improvement. 1 Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

I'll see what I can find though I think you're being cruel to @CowboyNQ, he was always going to lack something being on screen with me. 3 Quote The Keyboard Chronicles Podcast My Music: Stainless Fields Check out your fellow forumites in an Apple Music playlist Check out your fellow forumites in a Spotify playlist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pretty much have to do both nowadays.
