Platforms like YouTube aren’t just social media anymore. They’re search engines. They’re recommendation machines. People binge-watch content on their TVs like it's Netflix.And if your podcast isn’t there in some kind of visual form?You're invisible to a huge chunk of your potential audience.<div data-youtube-video=""><iframe width="640" height="480" allowfullscreen="true" autoplay="false" disablekbcontrols="false" enableiframeapi="false" endtime="0" ivloadpolicy="0" loop="false" modestbranding="false" origin="" playlist="" progressbarcolor="white" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QP7JRuEnNCA?si=Cmz_qwn7bBfq1Oss" start="0"></iframe></div><hr><h2 id="29872e4a-06ad-464e-891d-c0ee9f589b89" data-toc-id="29872e4a-06ad-464e-891d-c0ee9f589b89" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">How do you record a podcast?</h2>Most podcasts today are recorded on platforms that means your audio is already decent. Clean recordings, separate tracks, balanced sound… tick, tick, tick. I recorded <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://youtu.be/C-8wY3AdNho">a video about them in this one</a>.But those same platforms also record video. Which means you already have the raw materials.So, no you don’t need a fancy studio or 17 camera angles. You just need something visual enough to make it feel intentional.Think:<ul><li>A clean branded background</li><li>A still image with subtle animation</li><li>A moving waveform to bring it to life</li></ul>That’s enough to get your podcast noticed without needing to perform for the camera every week.I can sort this sort of stuff for you. Just get in touch.<hr><h2 id="aba5e0b7-0f2a-4dd0-96a6-3e08250b4984" data-toc-id="aba5e0b7-0f2a-4dd0-96a6-3e08250b4984" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">But Wait… Can’t AI Just Do It All for Me?</h2>Here’s where things get spicy 🍿There are loads of AI tools that promise “one-click” video editing. Quick! Easy! Magic!Except… not really.People come to me after using those tools, frustrated because they’ve spent more time fixing the edits than if they’d done it manually in the first place.Here’s why:🤖 AI rushes decisions 🎬 It cuts at awkward moments 🗣️ Shows people mid-sentence 👂 Audio levels jump around like popcornIt’s not awful, it’s just… off. And not the vibe you want if you're trying to build trust.Your audience might not be able to explain why something feels “meh” but they feel it.I had an experience of this. Having posted some AI generated reels on You Tube, the comments were brutal mate!<hr><h2 id="fd54f9f9-e1bc-4391-9888-11e34eee98ac" data-toc-id="fd54f9f9-e1bc-4391-9888-11e34eee98ac" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">So… Do I Use AI at All?</h2>Too right! But not to replace human judgment.I use AI to support the editing process, to scan long recordings and suggest moments worth keeping. It helps me tighten the story, sharpen the message, and make sure nothing important gets lost.It’s still me (or my team) doing the final polish.But the heavy lifting? That’s done faster without losing the human touch.Clients love it. Qualty and speed balanced. <hr><h2 id="9b054e4a-622c-4d9e-8224-624940030c79" data-toc-id="9b054e4a-622c-4d9e-8224-624940030c79" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">Is the tech holding you back?</h2>If you know you should be doing more with your content...But you’re stuck because you “don’t know where to start”?You’re not lazy. You’re not unmotivated.You just need clarity. A calm tech guy (👋) to walk you through it and make the next step feel obvious.Because if you’re not careful?We’ll blink and it’ll be half way through the year and you’ll still be saying “I really need to start soon!”Let me get you moving.<hr>Not in the Tribe yet?
