 All right, so it's interesting. It's obviously not my studio. This is a little Interesting to say the least normally so I have a standing desk. I had a standing desk solid Permanent standing was an Ikea hack. You go to IkeaHackers.com you can build your own to Ikea stuff It was always up and most recently I just replaced it with an actual up-and-down automated desk. I record standing up all the time That's how I just record and I also have a little thing I do every time I drink water I smile I laugh because of what I'm gonna say So let me get a couple things ready here So before I record I'm gonna show you the process of what I would normally do on Tuesday But my show comes up Monday. I don't really start prepping till Tuesday sometimes Wednesday usually Tuesday So this is what I do you can hear me here. I don't think I'm talking to this like it's on That's the problem you get so accustomed doing this all the time and also on my standing desk I have a swing arm with a microphone and a pop filter So I bring it to me when I record and I put it away during the week So but it's all connected on my desk and this is usually on this side So this is kind of strange for me, but it'll work out. It'll be fine. Okay So when I start I mean the screen's a little smaller now because I had it I'm sharing the screen I mean I'm mirroring it so you can see it So I have a couple things I do first and foremost is on this bottom left here. I have a folder called post haste This is a free piece of software. It's on the Mac only I actually it might be a PC version I'm not sure but what I do I've been using this forever It's free and when I was doing video editing it helped me create file structures for every project to be consistent Okay, so what I mean by that is this I'm gonna show you something here by going to my folder into Podcasts kitchen sink. You'll see I have this is episode 231, right and in this I have The folder called original way files graphics or else number one or two and workbook That's uniquely different. So every show sometimes it gets an extra file But not every show but often shows we'll get extra data But the core one two three four five things are created each time every time that's done by this And this is what I'm talking about. I we've done normally done this on Monday or Tuesday I want you to see this whole process. So I double-click post haste. This is in the alias, okay? I can then I have different templates in here, right? And I have get options podcast. It's not a hobby. That's in the whole other show by the way real quick You want to be a guest on a show? I'm looking for new guests. It's called. It's not a hobby main goal for this is if you went to School college trade school anything else for a job a let's say you went to school for become a lawyer You become a lawyer and now you make on the side you start making kitchen tables would work and now you do that full-time I want that story, but it's not a hobby. You're interested. Let me know I need you So so get options. So I want you kitchen sink, right? I'm gonna say this case. I want the project named the kitchen sink Podcast I want this to be episode 232 the double check that real quick Yes, and I say create podcast create project where well, I don't want to go there That's the last show I just did so I want us to go to kitchen sink it goes to save it here and now I get that folder and My five things are done. Okay, and inside these things are also the members. This is a template pretty easy to set this up So now I that's step one what I would normally do, okay, and then I go into my outline I change the XXX because it's not that kind of show 232 I Changed us to 232 so I know I'm saying here's my opening that I would say it has a typo I don't care it's for me. It's not really for you guys to see this, but it's okay Okay, and I this is what I say and I that I during the week I filled a little segments, right? I actually fill those things in this is my outline and to save a little bit of time I did this array so I went ahead. I went to WordPress Work camps. This is the upcoming events. So I copy paste and get the links all the way to go Okay, and I have some news I found online that I want to share This is my new segment. I paste that in it So I would do this normally during the week Tuesday Wednesday as things pop up as I see it I call it all together in the spot, right Segment to this is where I would say hey, what am I gonna talk about this week? And I would start doing research in here writing out a script. So some people write verbatim some people use an outline Some people try to wing it I write I write not verbatim. I write pretty close again. I'm fortunate I'm gonna be in theater so I can read something not read something that makes sense Some people read it, but it sounds really red. There's a difference and I may get close to it But I could always paraphrase I can change it up as I want to go out of the 231 shows I've re-recorded less than a handful because They sucked, you know my personal choice most people would never know I knew like I got reported I'll just trash it start over other than that. I rarely record Not that I'm perfect. It's just that It's a podcast, you know, it's not the end of the world It doesn't have to be you want to get it out produce the content hit publish second to this in this case. It's gonna be Q&A Word camp Beham save our hands for short interview With I'll put the name after then tip until the week in this case I have the tip until I pick that out as well here And I look this up as I say these as I find them it's a github thing I'm not a good thing over on github good block But I'll say that so this file only wouldn't exist because it would be in here to begin with right so I close that file up So there's my quick out of this news usually takes me a day or two But not like all day just over the week. I would add things to this, okay? When I'm done with this you'll see that steps after this and then I would be ready to record All right, so this point okay if I'm gonna talk about something I'm gonna go and record a piece I'm gonna record right now not with you yet because this is gonna do an interview So when I do interviews two styles one is at work camps like this Traditionally when I do a work camp interview. I don't have all this with me I just had the recorder I take the person the new word camper aside to a quiet room. We sit down I hit record we ask some question I ask some questions and they have a conversation five ten minutes tops and then I come back to my studio and I record second of the sections and I insert the interview so it's usually two files in this case. It'll be one file All right, I'll make it two files. You actually see it. I'll make it two files also But we are gonna record with better audio because if I record just with this by itself with no microphones It's a little tinny. It's it's much more ambient noise with these it'll be much better audio overall You want the best audio you can get what kills a podcast what kills video like Steve said yesterday is bad audio, right? So All right, it's more of a quick so That said I think we're gonna record. I'm gonna record. So I'm gonna go ahead and record It's gonna be it's a little nerve-racking to tell you the truth because I've never had a live studio audience But I've always wanted one By all means Yeah, I said I actually said huh Maybe yeah, you know, we're gonna have fun with the show We are gonna have on the show It's gonna be it's gonna be awesome and for those who came in after I mentioned it about my little issue with chocolate peanut butter There's cookies up front. I wanted three. I took my three. I could eat all of these But it's better than I don't Everybody really better than everybody doesn't eat the whole box. Just no judgment. Just saying okay again I'm talking in the microphone. See it's like a habit. I'm like, ah, okay. All right So now what I'm gonna do is I'm going to also close this bring up sound board So what you won't be able to hear is you won't be able to hear the bubble. Actually, will you be able to hit a bumper? No, you have to get a bumper. So just so you can Is there anybody for you to hit a bumper? Probably not. There's no Right so I didn't heard my show anyone in this room know my show Yeah, it's okay. There's like a thousand people who love it. Ha. Oh I want to mention two things about numbers and money. You owe me five bucks nothing So people always ask or they come in place. Hey, I have a podcast. I only have 25 people How do you go the audience here takes time consistency? They say I only have 25 downloads per week or per episode. I say hey What's your name? I said hey, I eat a 25 great number imagine a room for the 25 people every week listening to you visualize that Right five times it takes time you want to make mistakes when you have a small audience Not when you have a bar, right? No one starts a large audience unless you have a name already Okay, as far as monetization earlier. I meant to mention most recently. I added a patreon account I was torn about doing this I thought that was weird honestly, but I had a half a dozen dozen people kept asking me Hey, I want to donate to your show. They don't want to sponsor the show because they don't want to spend that much money Totally fine, but they want to donate so like all right, so I do have a patreon account It's $2 $5 $1,200 and my levels are very much me. I have a caffeine break clearly any cafe two bucks a month five dollars is a light lunch $20 is happy hour And a hundred bucks is date night, which my wife would love to see that happen By the way, we are in my bio set 19 years of marriage in 25 days Yeah, I'm really surprised Who's been married longer than 20 years Wow 1971 All right, so you're not going to hear my audio Actually, I'll do this real quick for you I will let you hear it for a second because it's it's 45 seconds my bumper is a bit long my opening bumper But some people skip through it three times fast forward fast forward fast forward or they listen the whole day 50 50 honestly But I like it and see if you hear what the references so here's it here it is real quick That's not it why is it so low can't hear that can't get no, okay, never mind, so it's pretty cool Listen to the show All right, so oh No, that still won't work Yeah, I don't know that's there's no way for me to get it out to you at the moment So hello, all right, so headphones. Oh headphones super important. I've had these for 25 years maybe 30 for cheap I love okay Don't spend a ton of money on equipment to start just kind of start just start okay, so yeah, these are like these are like how old am I AKG AKG and other honestly the lights they're crappy couldn't couldn't love them anymore, okay so Testing one too. All right, so this is very strange So with get options podcast actually I did have we we've done that show twice in the front of a live studio audience But that's a different type of show all together. This is usually not the type of show All right, so let me turn me up here a little bit I need a hit record over here And a little trick I'm gonna teach you guys every little thing I do here So all right, so I can go up to right now an hour 23 minutes and 41 seconds It's not gonna take that long to take like I'm gonna use like 30 minutes total time today All right, so I do test I can see my my fees. I can see the monitor So I know it's there once I hit record. I'm gonna hit record. So now I'm recording This is actually now recording this won't be in the show unless it is as a blooper Okay, so now I do this test one to I can hear myself and it's better just like I don't want to hear you All right, so and what I do is I literally take a sip of water Because I need that Every time this is so weird Taking a spotlight All right, so I don't think I hear you guys I hit um I Say what I need to say and then I hit the music That's all right Yes, I say I need to say I'm like all the sudden I'm confused so you'll see that's how I'm gonna do my show So just be quiet. Oh This is a trick. I want to say I do this. I stop my fingers Three times. I'm doing it again because it gives me a waveform. I know when to cut out before that's why I know what start I do that. So here we go in this the kitchen sink WP podcast episode to 32 I gotta do that over because I'm having an issue with balance. Hold on A little bizarre small technical difficulty, excuse me I know I got it Remind me to put your microphone in when you come up Problem solved So the problem there was just you know, just to share technically this is my audio out This was going into a just a single channel left left channel not not so stereo So now it's in stereo balance versus unbalanced. Now we know problem solved. Whoo awkward. Okay Here we go again, try this one more time microphone up one two one two Hit record again testy one two one two That's what here we go Okay, they're really noisy aren't they Kind of do a show here So I just burned 30 seconds. That's totally fine But I do the snap so I know if I'm gonna start over do something I can't and I rarely start over during my show if I guess I like five times in the last quarter This is the kitchen sink WP pockets episode 232 Why hello and welcome to that's wrong. I'm gonna keep this in here. Hi. This is Adam sort of the host of the kitchen sink WP podcast Thanks for being here. Let's get started. All right first and foremost before I even start with upcoming events I'm recording the show live in front of an audience at word camp Birmingham in Alabama So if you're in the audience, you want to say hi or applaud you can And this is a little strange I'm doing a presentation and I'm including the actual workflow how I do a podcast So you might be able to see this on WordPress TV in a few weeks. Actually, we'll see this because Lucas is saying yeah You'll see this in a few weeks. All right, so moving forward moving on to show upcoming events like I said Let's get started. We have a couple events coming up. We have word camp for publishers in Chicago That is August 8th through 10th. That's mid-week. That's what I mentioned at first So it's mid-week. It's a word camp for publishers in a community organized events bringing together folks who support word camp or Publications so it's a specific type of word camp. Okay. There's also word camp. Ooh, I don't have to say this Sweden I think you pronounce it nor okay, so I'm sorry It's August 10th and 11th. Yeah, we're kept Montreal August 11th and 12 work camp Jackson, Michigan We're which is August 11th. It's a single-day camp and I might be there virtually I might be recording the get options podcast there with my buddy Kyle So we'll check that out that works out or not and we're camped on poor Which is August 12th. So if like I always say you're in those areas by all means go to work camps because I love going Um and I will go to more of them this year as well And if there's any meet-ups in your area you should go to your meet-up as well If there's not one you should create them like I always say all right moving on segment one in the news couple things to talk about this week WordPress 4.9.8 was released and is now available for download happened last week as expected and like I said last week One of the key elements is to try Gutenberg call-outs and not everyone's gonna see this by the way And I did see it finally this morning and I was gonna share with you what I saw took a screenshot of it So I saw on my dashboard for kitchen sink WP this thing that says hey a new modern publishing experience is coming soon I can dismiss it I can install Gutenberg as a plug-in or I can install classic editor of the plug-in slightly confusing honestly But the class together. Let's me keep it there. So when 5.0 comes out. I had the choice of the two Install classic editor didn't activate it because there's no reason to at the moment. It's a little confusing So not everyone will see this there is criteria on how this will happen the criteria will be if it's not installed or activated Actually all this isn't a show notes because it's kind of convoluted how it works the classic editor I still use it and still I still like it and I'm not moving over to Gutenberg just yet So, okay, lastly, I want to mention the news. I'm creating a new course about easy digital downloads and Self-paced will be delivered via a learning management system lifter LMS more than likely It is because I built a Course an e-book and I was asked by the team behind EdD to create a course about how to sell using their software So that'll be out. It's coming out in about two months. I'm doing a pre-sell right now $47 you can go to kitchen sink wp.com The full price will be $197, but right now it's 47 bucks and that's gonna go up as time gets closer to launch So check that out. All right moving on segment two this week. We are doing the traditional Q&A with a brand-new word camera, and I'm not gonna do it like this minutes I'm gonna do it after I take a quick break to bring up the guest to answer some questions So we'll be back after this break and then the questions and then the tip into the week It's kind of weird, but that's it for the moment. So we're right back. Okay, stay tuned That was weird. I ain't gonna lie It's only weird because normally my screen is here. I can read, you know, and it's just different So that worked out for the most part. Okay, so now you need to come up And we're gonna keep recording this actually I'm gonna hit pause for a second I'm gonna actually hit stop because I wanted I want two recordings. So I'm gonna do this way this way This goes out for a second you go in Okay Hold that you nervous right on What's the water cookie? Remind me how the Marcella Marlissia easier No, I'm gonna do it myself Okay, all right, this is Marlissia. Hi Marlissia. All right, so All right, here we go. So you're not gonna be able to hear anything. Is that okay with you? You'll be able to hear you won't be able to hear yourself except for yourself. That makes sense All right, so bring you back up here so say something like let me see is this on testing. Yeah, this good. All right Okay, and Lucas, can you hear us on the other microphone as well? Sweet. Thanks. Okay. So here we go. I'm gonna hit record again She's really loud over there. I'm gonna hit snap snap snap Because I took this out, I think this might work for a second All right, so we're back and we're talking today to Marlissia Marlissia What's her last name? Shavers. Hi Marlissia Shavers. Hi. So thanks for being here. I really do appreciate you being a part of the podcast Thank you for having me. Are they making you nervous out there? No, not really. Okay, just ignore them. Imagine them all Not there. Okay Not naked, not a number of boxers. Who remembers the boxers, you know All right, so brought to you on stage here to interview you because you are a first-time work camera I am. So we have your name. So what do you do in relation to WordPress? I am a Love-style blogger. I created my own genre of blogging and basically my blog is about self-love, self-care and creating your best life Wow, that's pretty impressive. How long have you been doing this? I've only been doing it since November of 2017 Oh, so not even a full year. Right. Mm-hmm. So a question for you How do you hear about WordCamp and have you ever been to WordCamp? So how do you hear about this? I actually heard about it through my fearless writing leader, Javacia Harris Bowser And she was a WordCamp speaker last year and she was telling us about it And so I said, oh, I should probably go to that next year. And so when it came up, I signed up to get the notifications and So you've been here for two days, this is day two. We're almost done. Another literally three hours and the camp is over. Right Have you learned anything? Yes. What have you learned? What's your biggest, like what's a major takeaway for you? Um, I would say a major takeaway from me is I learned that WordCamp is just not for techy people It's actually for the users as well because I was a little conflicted about coming in first And so now I've gained all this invaluable information and one of my main reasons for coming is for the podcasting Because I want to start my own podcast. Nice. And what's your podcast coming about? Same thing as your blog? No, actually, it will probably incorporate some of those aspects, but it's going to be about The global view from a black woman's perspective. Okay. Okay. Interesting. Very cool. And have you have a podcast name or domain picked after that yet? Yes, it's going to be the mahogany perspective. Love it. That's awesome. Okay So if somebody came to you new into WordPress or had never heard about WordCamps, would you suggest they come? Absolutely. For what purpose? For any purpose if they want to own a business if they're in entrepreneurship if they're thinking about managing websites or Learning to create websites It's just a myriad of reasons that you could come to WordCamp to gain that knowledge Or if they're already in a profession to just get more knowledge to help with their career. Okay final question for you Think you'll become a speaker. Absolutely. Nice. That's what we want to hear because You've never been around the community. So is it new to you in a sense of are you surprised by the community at all? Actually more questions at this point. So yes, I am. I wasn't Expecting it to be as welcoming as it was because you know, you can go to conferences And you're not see anybody, you know, and everybody's standoffish. They're just there in their own little world But here it was like, hey, how you doing? What's your name? What do you do? You know, and so it made me feel like I was a part even though it's my first year Right. I mean just yesterday when we put the call out for new WordCampers to be part of this You stood right up and said I'll do it. Right, which is awesome. So awesome Well, thank you so much for being here on the podcast and best of luck with your show If you need any help by all means, let me know and I'll see you and hopefully next year speaking here. Awesome. Thank you so much Thank you. All right Okay, we're good there So that part's done Okay, does anybody else want to come on to be interviewed the same thing or no not so much What have we done on time two? We're okay. You want to come up? Come on. We're gonna do one more. Awesome More the merrier I think that's the right way to yeah What's your name? Priscilla. Hi Priscilla. I know like four Priscilla's now I'm the best now, right? At the moment Okay, same thing. You'll hold it right here. Actually, we're gonna do just hold that All right, still recording. So Okay, all right, here we go one more time And we are now talking to Priscilla Warren. Oops, now hold on a second. I know that audio. You didn't hear that Sorry, never mind. All right We are now talking to Priscilla Warren Also a first-time word camper and she just literally raised her hand to come up as a second interview because my other interview I was going to come up had a migraine, right? Got sick. Totally fine. No judgment. Really. Oh, she's better Is she here? Okay, so welcome to the stage Priscilla. Thank you and what brings you to word camp So I'm a complete newbie and I've got a computer program or brother And he was tired of asking and me asking him questions And so he told me to learn it myself and so here I am Okay, and how did you hear about word camp from my brother? He told me Yeah, what are you going to do with word press knowledge? Like what was your main goal to learn this weekend? So I'm sort of uh, I'm just trying to learn about word press and because I thought I was going to have to manage my own website and I didn't I really have no technical background. I'm an accountant So I just really needed to come and immerse myself in it and learn Okay, do you have a current blog? I do not do one blog Yes, I had a business plan before I came here and I met some people at lunch yesterday And they have totally put me on a different track a better track So I've got to stop and rethink everything. What was the original idea? The original idea was that I was going to do business consulting services And I was going to sort of maybe do some of their social media marketing and website development But I've realized now that maybe that's not the best use of my abilities Maybe I need to partner with other people But I can be that sort of just one person that they talk to and I have other people help me behind the scenes Okay, fair enough. And did you find the value? I mean was it was a cost prohibitive to come? No, I mean I had to drive because I'm from I'm not from Birmingham, but I absolutely 40 dollars You could totally swing that right and just to you know a few hours drive to get here and to have the resources And to have all these helpful people it was totally worth it So what's the main takeaway besides like so is your main takeaway really the new direction that you've got advice on Yes, that's all I did last night was I couldn't even go to sleep because I just kept thinking about this Different path that I'm on now that I totally was not on when I left uh Saturday morning So you've been up for 24 hours at this point? Basically, I'm really tired. Can't you tell? No, you look great. Okay. Well, I appreciate you coming up on the stage Do you have any questions for me at all? Actually one more question any interest in podcasting? I didn't before I came here, but now I'm totally gonna do it. Awesome. That's what we want to hear. Awesome Thank you so much for being up here. Thanks. Thank you That's my microphone. Let me turn her microphone on And uh, thanks to both Priscilla and Marlisa Marlisa. See I got her better that way. Okay And I'm going to hit stop now and come back after this break with the tip and tool of the week. All right, stand by Okay, so this point actually I paused because I don't want a third file just kind of Weird but we do that. All right. So now what I would do is Click on this you can still see it. Yeah, pretty good Open this up And actually I have found already a better tip until the week I have to wait for next week because I haven't tested it I try to look at things a little bit more in depth if I can But like for example next week's tip until the week is this wallace. I just found out that's inline It's inline editing for beaver builder. It's pretty cool. It's supposed to be a better interface for clients So I might check this out. There's a live demo. There's rami macala Anyway, so but you know, I want to find things that I think are interesting to people And ironically enough my tip until the week has become my e-book a free e-book. So if you guys can go to WP Let me do this way real quick If I'm not logged in So just to share with us for you one second. We still overhead pause good. So on the top, you'll see a bottom It'll scroll down in a second face on Uh, it should come down. Maybe no. Oh, there it is. So I have a free e-book. So you sign up for you know It's a lead magnet. I want your email address. You get my e-book and it's the top 101 Tips and tools of the week all organized. And yes, it's a pdf and some of the links are affiliates So again, it's a way to monetize. All right again. I'm talking to the microphone for no good reason. All right All right, moving on So now what we're going to do is I'm going to mention this and I'm going to wrap things up Create gluten block. Okay All right, so pretty basic talk here. I'm gonna hit record again I'm gonna come back this way All right, and segment three tip and tool the week this week. I want to mention a Gutenberg-esque item. It's called a gluten block create gluten block. It's over on github. It's by um Ahamad Wadi. I believe it's how you pronounce his name. Let me get back to it. It's on github It's create dash gluten dash blog It's a way to for those who are creating Gutenberg blocks and going that way of the technology because that's where wordpress is going version 5.0 do out like september sometime It's a way to It's a starter kit a boilerplate. It's a developer toolbox which is continuously being updated So it's on github. It's free if you're into the Gutenberg creation of code and content check that out That's the typical the week this week and other than that I think at the end of the show and I do appreciate the live audience in the room It's been interesting that today the least It's different and the show is different this week and that's okay because that's just how life is right I'm good with that. So I'm going to wrap it up. If you have any questions by all means send it in Email adam at kitchen sink wp.com or use the speak pipe punctuality website Thanks so much for listening and see you next week and have a great week and stuff like that And I'm gonna say goodbye now. Goodbye now And you guys gonna bought a good one And I need to add my sound effect back in Dang it Which I can still do it's still recording All right, good enough. Okay. So the recording as hodgepodge is that kind of was normally much faster and less Interruption and introduction in a interruptions. So now what I do is I click this I close this I take the card out. So two gigabyte card. So this version of my of my recorder The only drawback is it only can use it up to two gigabytes, which is ridiculously small when I first got this I'm like spent this was normally new versions five six hundred bucks I paid two twenty five on ebay some older versions It's kind of fast to eat a new version that are a little more heft better features Etc. And they take bigger cards. So when I got this, I'm like, I have like an eight gigabyte card. Put it in It doesn't work tried like 16 different eight gigabyte cards with nothing I'm like, huh, I google it two gigs is the maximum you take that's just the formwork. So f y Take this put this into my computer Okay, so now the rest of this is just the post-production at this point, right? So Just make sure I hit everything I showed that I showed that yeah get photo. Okay So now I have this cannon card. I'm gonna take out the last I think it's the last three files So we'll take the three take this is my desktop for a second I'm gonna go into Sync podcast original audio phones This isn't sexy. This is just the reality of what it takes to do the show. Okay Come what was that? Was it this sexy? nice I love that april Do you want me to put uh lucas the microphone back on me? Okay, good He's like, no, don't touch it All right, so and I eject the card Okay And once I fully eject I'll take this out and here's a little personal trick Take the card with ejects to take it out. Put it back in the recorder Not in your pocket Not somewhere else. It'll turn off by itself. Totally fine. All right. So then the next step is literally Uh recorded a copy file. I'm gonna do the light edit. So the light edit is this I gotta figure out which one's which I need my headphones back on And I need this I think that's it Oh, yeah, okay. These are okay. So they're the wrong order 24. Okay. So now what I would do is I'm gonna take the first one I'm gonna right click Open this in Adobe Audition And there's the file Now that's pretty sexy like that. All right. So now I need to listen but So it's actually so you see how there's all these areas here. It was all the snaps So I know I don't need any of that before it Oh Maybe I do I what you did like six. Yeah, apparently. Yeah. Oh, here we go. Maybe why is this not This is a problem Oh, you know what I think this is the first one that we were those no good, right Yep, okay, so it must be 25 and 26. That was close I've actually in the 231 episodes. I've actually lost not lost. I had a pick up with one file And there's actually a way to recover it. I got lucky if you thanks to youtube. I found a way to get back Here's the here we go. All right. So here we go. Perfect. So So yeah, so this first area here all this stuff. I don't need I can toss it, right? This is me saying This is on the opening segment. So I'm actually gonna I usually start like right at it That's putting that Okay, so this came in a little low just because of my opening music here. I'll just highlight that I'll bring that up a little bit just to match All right. Ooh magic And then my show starts Does he applause we're good there? Good good good So again, I don't go too deep even I mean I'm lucky. I don't do a lot of ums. My show is concise I know I'm gonna say if you have a lot of ums kind of take those out if you have an interview with somebody Here's a little tip if so when I do longer interviews, I don't give anyone Heads up on anything except for there's one segment say what are the three tips? Three tools you can't live without so that way you can have a prep at the end of the show If someone says by say So tell me what do you think things are going in the wordpress phase in regards to You know female empowerment and you might need a minute to think about that, right? Oh, that's a good question because everyone says that's a good question. It's like the weirdest thing ever Oh, it's a good question. Really? It's because it's a dumb question. Unless you're orange. Okay, so Um, so you might take him into the same totally fine. Let the person take them in and say, uh, Think about it because you can take that piece out. You want it. You want to take out some of that So those long times of people thinking remove that not all of it because if I ask you the question Did it hit right to your answer? That's awkward, right? I didn't style wise Like I said, but you can take time you can have some you can have some duration But you want to take out those long gaps. So when you're interviewing someone don't rush it, right? So in that case so we get to the end here. So I don't go to do too much here Like here's a piece here for example. I can listen to this and see what was this right here. This was Nope, it's fine. Okay So in this case, I swallowed for a second if you can barely tell I know it's there. It's totally fine All right, so I'm gonna leave all that in there And then I think at this end here, I see what I have here So it says stay tuned. Okay, great. So this is where I want to put in the first Both interviews the first one's gonna be here, right? So I'm gonna go grab that file. I'm gonna double click over here I'm gonna grab Podcast 232 original way file and it's the last one 26 correct. Yeah So it opens up a new file That's weird Oh, there it is so 26 so 25 is the main one. Here's 26. So here's the first interview the section right here Here's the second interview. Okay, so I'm gonna take this first one So the section right here just so you can see it you can't hear it. Oh, yeah, that is a sound effect So who remembers the six million dollar man? I'm a huge fan. I mean, it's a problem. Okay. I have a watch I got about seven years old from my apartment from my parents for Hanukkah. It's fantastic Um on my face of my apple watch now. I actually have a custom face with him on it I have a fan of the show who knows I don't know man so much He recorded found all the episodes made like all the seasons and all the episodes and sent me in the mail a dvd set For my it's like a little freaky. I'm like, how do you get my address? So I thanked him on the episode. He liked it. Anyway, so the opening segment of my show has the audio of There's a mixture of six million man. We can make it better stronger faster with word friends That's the f my the bumpers between interviews and stuff is the That you know that that's what that's what this is like. It's a little low because of how I wired it My mistake, but of course I can fix that by literally just bringing this up a little bit So now it's it's a little better, right? So I can I can match that I don't need any of this Okay, and this like this piece here talking the first one first one Okay, so right here. This is interesting just so you can see the audio file So this is uh marlissia she Smack your lips You did the so that's a little it's a little high. It's a little high So I see a lot of those I'll fix it in this case. It's just the one easy to fix lower to that a little bit It's who you are. It's what happened. I don't want to I don't want to change the audio I'm not npr, right production quality does matter, but you have to know what you need to get done to get it done Okay, when you're starting out when I'm funded at ten thousand dollars an episode. Yeah, this will be great All this up. Yeah Okay, so I'm gonna cut I'm gonna go all the way through And I'm gonna scroll down here. I think we're good there. There's still So So here we go. This is the whole interview right there. So we're done with this one right there I look over this one here. So here's the thing. I want that clip again. I forgot to do at the end So I'm gonna go grab it here copy it And I'm gonna paste it over here So now I have it on both ends the beginning then so it's a did it did it interview did it did it End of interview and then I'll do then it'll it will go to the second one here. So I'll just I'll lose this Here is Priscilla Oh, so I have to bump it out Okay, great. So I can take this piece out Now we're talking Priscilla And we're still good there and I know she's a little low because her microphone's a little further away But it's okay. It didn't bother me because I'm gonna fix it in a second. I'll show you how I'm gonna fix it And then over here. What's the section here? So this is the so the right here is a tip until the week section moving forward. So that's fine Snap my fingers I'm gonna lose all that Okay, that's the end of the show there. Okay, so now because her bottom's a little low this area I'm gonna go ahead and highlight all this. I'm gonna go to effects Diagnostics, uh, where's it filter modulation? up dang it effects Actually, it's here. It's um speech volume leveler Apply so now everyone's speaking same level based on the average You can get really detailed here. I don't okay So the problem is I so I want to make sure that it's not too noisy now. No, it's actually pretty good Okay, so actually this section here is too hot now. It's the sound effect. It's way too loud. So I just want to lower that a bit Because I can kind of tell it's blown out. So how's it now? It's not ideal, but I'm gonna um Keep it for the moment right and then the very end here. This is the very end of the show That's the applause. Can't you tell? That's your applause. That's awesome. Okay the section right there was your applause I think actually I got Taking all that out. So now I'm gonna copy all this I'm gonna go back to number 25 Because this is where it goes it goes to the end of the show So normally in a normal situation. I would literally do my section do an interview I would do my I would do everything Okay, how do I normally do it? So normally I would depends on the interview when I do the interview if I do it early in the week because it's on Skype Here's how the best way to explain this way Whenever I do the interview is when I record the show I want my voice quality to be the same and my levels will be the same So if I do the interview at 7 a.m. Or 10 a.m. Eastern, you know, wherever maybe wherever the guest is once I don't interview I would then record the rest of the show because my voice and I wanted it to match Some people don't you can actually tell sometimes when it's been different time because it's just not there, right? If I record in person like this just using this I normally pre-record the opening and closing at home So my quality that's studio quality and I just insert the interview and it's obviously different and I'm done Copy paste on it and it's done. So in this case Yeah, it's a little it's a third option at this point because I do use this on location So it's just a little awkward. So okay, so this case. I'm gonna copy all this. So is this number? Or we have this is number 25 I'm gonna copy all this. Oh, this is actually no, this is the end of the show, right? This is the end of I'm just gonna paste it right here. I'm gonna say It's a nice pastes there. There's the rest of the show So literally at this point, so some of that stuff's pretty hot You can see this one right here that little section that's really high on the radar there So see what is that real quick and see? Oh That's wrong. That's the wrong segment. That's the problem. So I need to go here I have to make sure where I'm in the right place here Okay It's 25 Okay, I think I just copied this I need to go back to 26 There we go. Okay. So I copy this section Put it back in 25 if you get confusing it can be put it here paste and So I'm gonna see if you guys hear this often All right, so we're back and we're talking to each other now. Okay. So what I want you to hear is this for example I still like it and I'm welcome to go over it just Right, okay. Lastly, I want to mention the news I'm creating a new course because that's the news section. So I went through the news. We get to the questions. That's the sound effect All right, so we're back and we're talking today. It's Marlisa. All right. So what's your last name? Nice in here Okay, you sound great by the way and just so you can hear what I'm talking about from the beginning You kind of get the gist of it. It's kind of techy All right. So at this point the show is done, but I do one last thing I go to here and I have an effect and what I want to do is I go to actually it's here under Presets I go to kitchen sink to be secret sauce And that what that does is it raises some tones and then also I will then lower give it some depth So if you listen to it this way It blows the way out, right Can't go that loud And I want to go to Enhance the loose Great sadness right so now listen to difference listen for the second With it on And that's just you know, that's just microphones technology It's you can always do some tweaking and post production to make things sound better look better. Is that right? Right Lucas, so I don't do a ton of posts because it's a matter of time This is taking me twice as long as normal. Obviously. It's a different situation. Okay So now I am technically done with production and post production. Well There you guys Okay, and I will say that is it for that take all that out save it Oh save cancel. I need to actually apply the effects to the entire file depends on the effects This will take a couple seconds here. Okay Getting close. Look, how are we doing on time? We're still good So now the file now now that effect everything's done all the editing is done The effect that I added to raise the audio but lower the depth is there and flattened out You can see it. It changed the waveform a little bit to flatten it, right? So now I go ahead can I say Export file or you and it says where I'll say I want this to go to Uh kitchen sink wp's folder Uh mp3's Say save are you gonna say okay? Are you sure because it's a wave file if I go mp3 It's lossless. It's a different format totally fine. I want mp3. I need mp3. Okay takes another put three five seconds Okay, save the file one more time just to make sure just have it Quick oh you want to save all this stuff? I'll say Yes, it's fine. So it's saving what I did the edits I did in the other file if I edited it. It's fine Okay, quits out of adobe edition. Okay, so now My next step would be I did the light edit I exported it. Okay, so now Technically I need to do this. I have an mp3 file, which as you can see is the wrong name Right, but I need show notes before I do anything else So the show notes in my case are kind of redundant of how I do this It's kind of unfortunate. It's what I started four years ago and it just works for me I go back to the show itself So I have that outline And I also have what's called show notes two files Right, so this week I interview say I interview View two new word campers If I knew how to spell it would be great. Actually, I'd make this really big so you gotta see what I'm doing here So again, based on that file I created Oh, I forget to show you one thing and new word campers from word camp Bermin Upcoming events so I do that that's my title that that'll be like the Part of it. I will then take all of this and I do that in the news Uh, I'll take wordpress 4.0. So in this case, I literally I don't take the reason I do it twice And I just take the bullet point, right? And I'll say my class is this way. I'll say edd class Edd course Pre-sale And I'll actually I'll just link this this way Okay segment two q&a With uh word campers And then tool of the week create gluten block And here I say create gluten block Take the blips Take the bolt off And that Make this all 18 doesn't have a size I just like to see it for me when I move my screen to the 18 for you It'll be 20 doesn't matter I take away all the bold I take away all the formatting because The way it currently works in in in classic editor if I put in bold underline and something except for links It doesn't work right I have to redo it just the way interface Because it's just not smart the way text edit does it right I could do this in some other service some other software Just this is what works. I try to keep things low tech if I can okay, so that was in my show notes So that I can close this one Uh close that and then what I do is once I have that done then I take the file the mp3 oil I open this up with id3 editor And what this does is this wraps it the proper way as a podcast Right, I can add shows and artwork to it. So in this case, I hit command d So it puts in my it knows what to put in from previous podcasts It kind of fills in a couple things like it fills in You won't be like can't see what on that I say e 00x or xx say 232 episode I copy that paste over here. I go to lyrics. So lyrics or show notes copy Paste and if I really wanted to I do I do this a lot. I just do like some bullets here I just copy one And I just do it manually on the faster ways. Yep. Do I do them? Nope Can I hire somebody? Yep. Am I going to nope my frugal? Yep cheap. Nope Well actually That goes here All right, that's done. So what happens once this comes done? You'll see that the icon will change in a second Did it not change? Come on Really, there is it changed see how that I can change actually I can make that bigger for sure I think I can go this way So that icon changed right the problem is just the wrong it's the wrong name. So what I do is so simple I take this one I go up here Change it to Right, so now this is ready to go up to lipson If I did this if I didn't do this first I can't just set I couldn't put an epi three file But then there's nothing wrapped around it doesn't have any information except the duration of the show Right. So now I can take this to lipson. So that's right. That's what's next. Uh, Yeah, I did three editor to make sure I'm on the right track here. Yep lipson. So this should be interesting for a wi-fi. So now I will go to lipson I'll log in everyone close your eyes for a password. I'm kidding. You won't see the password lipson Wi-Fi is working pretty well sweet Change shows so I have two shows, right and in hindsight the mistake I made was My business company name was silver line productions. It doesn't I can't change it now. It's not worth it. It doesn't matter All right, so I click on this show I click on content what I do is I copy this first So you'll see what I do is I copy previous sort of the same format matches That's again consistency. I copy the name of this one. I'm going to go to content add new episode I'm going to add the media upload it From kitchen sink mp3's 232 It's uploading this could take Long time if the wi-fi's on so you know that's or it can take a switch time, which is we're doing really well right now I'm not gonna say anything okay, all right We're almost done. You see now we're close. Oh, we have 10 minutes. Hopefully this will be done in 10 minutes Close the message So this is what I'm talking about this interface that they have Not ideal, but you get used to it details. This is where I paste that title in I changed the number to 230 tubes I changed this to 232 I'll say q and a new word campers uh, birmingham 2018 Then down here, I'll take those show notes again put them in here as well I can clean this up, but it really doesn't matter. It depends on how you're using lip syn as your source or just as a reference I put it there just in case so I know what it is if I need to go back. Okay um Let's go back down I changed this to podcast And I say go to artwork. No artwork to put in scheduling I always click on uh, set a new release date if I hit publish now, it'll be available right now For anyone who has the fee I want I don't want it now. I want it tomorrow at 6 a.m. Eastern. So I say release date. This is going to be tomorrow and I say 3 a.m right And I just say Publish which is scary. I publish. No, no wait, but it's a scheduled publish, right? Then I grab this file And I copy it I close this window and that that link goes right there And remember you'd asked about playing in the browser. So if I use this right now, this was live Then you can hear it with just using that link if you if so if you want to get someone's show early And you kind of figure out their their syntax from you can actually sneak shows early from some producers It's kind of funny. I've done this before they don't like it. Okay Okay, so that part's done So now the next step is I need to create a blog post But before I do the blog post I need to create the art So art for each episode in this case. It's pretty basic. I'm gonna go to kitchenthinkwp.com. I want to show you something real quick So I I saved one step So this is an error in my site. This is supposed to be 275 275. It's just not pulling right So they're supposed to be this size, right? Okay, but what I do is You know, it's pretty basic how I by the way, that's my daughter. You should listen to that episode She's beautiful. Okay So awesome conversation to have with a teenage daughter about social media and if you use facebook, she's like, yeah, you're old And now she's coming. It's great. Okay, so So I need artwork that first first of four months. So I go to photoshop Actually, I have a file here. It's over here It's in this area. I have an untitled document. It has every cover I've ever done Same size every time. Okay, so I open this file up And there's that one and I duplicate the layer And I say this one's now 232 I don't I don't need to say revisiting goonberg. I'll just say it's a cute q&a p.m Should not layer off do this I don't need that image. Whoops. I don't need the image anymore I'll probably say New word camps campers I'm loving that idea, but it's okay. Hold on a second. What I did is I already grabbed this the logo from cancel cancel I grabbed the logo earlier just the png from word camp. So there it is, right? So I need to fit this in here somewhere We just put that in There we go So there it is there. Let me just do this real quick. Let me just go ahead and Do a new layer That is put that behind that layer. So now we can see it So I'll probably just leave it like that as my guess. I'm actually not going to go and worry about Having to be text. I'm just going to go with this. I think it's fine I mean the longest thing it took me when I first started the first 20 episodes I would spend two three hours on finding the perfect image Not worth it really isn't just be quick. You want to be quick again publish. Okay my opinion This is my opinion. All right. So I'm going to save this I'm going to save it. I'm going to save it again as a jpeg Save as to my desktop kswp p2 32 desktop And save it as a jpeg I actually do one more step on this image itself those clothes I go to tiny png I want to optimize the image as best I can I mean it's already small. It's 81.2 phillipines small. I need to be smaller people Now it's 17 Anybody use tiny png That's awesome site It's free. Okay. So now I can toss it on the desktop. There's one in my downloads folder. All right Five minutes. Oh five minutes. Yeah, get those done people. All right. So now I'm gonna go back to kitchen sake wp I'm gonna go to dashboard Posts all posts and again, I'm gonna do this thing where I literally copied the previous title So so I get the right format so I get the right exact idea. I want to do that Take that's fine. Let's say a new post paste that here 232 interview with Oh first time say first time word campers Y'all Take the show notes In this in this case, I actually do format it But see if I had kept in the bulls before they would just it doesn't show up, right? It messes things up for some reason Boomburg actually kind of fixed us. I did a test last week on Boomburg's post editor the way it does it The blocks changes things So bold Um bold bold See how I messed up this and I need I need to actually go this way to go turn that off again and then bold this gets a Bullet this one too Oh, I didn't link to this one. That's I have to fix that later. I'll fix that later. I'm not gonna worry about it right now This is what I'm talking about. So this file that link that there has to go not there It won't work there. It needs to go down here for to go to iTunes I verify the url. It says is it verified? Yes. So it knows it's there. It's not published yet, right? Um the excerpt is because I however reform it I take this I put this in here I press bbb bbb I haven't I did I power press that way now the player will be in that post But I'm taking power press. It's not there that we can play it in the window, right? You know to show you what I mean This is real quick. I like four minutes left. See it's playable right there If I put it if the the other plugin sends it to iTunes The power press brackets the shortcode plays it in the window plays on the website, right? It does Download yeah, yeah, okay And then most importantly the most important thing in my case is this if I don't press Podcast here is a category. It won't go to iTunes. It won't go to the fees It has to it has to happen and the next step is I pay publish when to be the sixth Yep at 305 Because I want to make sure that lipsyn's fine. I always give it a five minute buffer, right? I can now say, okay Uh say, okay scheduled, but before I do that, I have one more thing. I say set featured image Open And I say date modified two minutes left almost done Put that in there Okay, great and set featured image And schedule I can obviously preview it right Um, and then what happens that there's the other follow-up. So here's a preview. That's what's gonna look like tomorrow I could change this tonight still. I probably won't you know, I think that's totally fine Huh So I'm gonna fix that Hold on Ham Enter Yeah, I got that I got that Right update. All right. So now if I refresh this that should be fine. Anything else? I'll double check this tonight before I go to bed All right, good No, no, hold on give me a second Well exchange it. What did that? Probably my cash. It's okay. Well
