The podcast idea is a good one if the content is unique to LPBI, which means podcasts need to created specifically for LBPI. Podcast ideas need to be created one per month, for example, and there needs to be a calendar of them for the year with a specific person responsible for conducting it.

Your aim is to get medical/scientific trade publications interested in retweeting your offerings — or interested in interviewing you or positioning LPBI and its key authors/writers as thought leaders on medical or scientific topics.

My idea: Anyone on the LPBI team can write a #ThoughtLeaderThursdays post for LinkedIn on a specific topic. These are creatively written brief articles on industry knowledge about a specific topic, current trends in science or insights into a scientific topic.

The posts are toughly 800-1,000 words. If anyone knows of a graphic designer, then a photo of the author can accompany the article along with a compelling graphic. Again, this is another way for others to share this post and for LPBI to develop a greater following of people

on social/digital media. On LinkedIn, type in #thoughtleaderthursdays and you’ll see examples.

Notes from book on Audio Podcasting

Microphones -MOST important part is getting a good microphone
Yeti by Blue Micorphone BEST
Audiotechnia ATR BEST
Logitech is OK but not best
Test your microphones
Test direction of microphone – above your mouth produces a nasal sound. Microphone at your throat produces too much bass
Test microphone distance – SPEAK in NORMAL voice then adjust the GAIN later. Note: Skype does a good job auto-adjusting the gain so don’t worry while conducting interviews about Gain issues
Get good headphones
Eliminates background noise. Get good headphones like BEATS STUDIO which will detect any background noise during recording.

*** NOTE if doing a co-host podcast USE SKYPE

Recording on Skype
Record using either the Pamela or Call recorder Program. ALWAYS CHOOSE .wav format, never .mp3 format because . wav has higher quality
EDITING -probably the SECOND MOST IMPORTANT PROCESS. There are three suggested audio editing software programs
Audacity – this is a FREE program
Adobe Audition – very good but $300
If you have a Macintosh or Apple it comes with Garageband, a very good audio editing software
Hosting
If uploading a weekly show you will need a hosting site with at least 125 MB capacity per month
If using WORDPRESS use the plugin Blubrry Power Press: lets you easily put in your audiopodcast
Upload to itunes – it takes a week but they will give you a URL so you can put it on your blog site
