Ten Ways To Know You’re A Podcaster

Dan

1. You’re seriously considering getting a Heil PR-40 microphone grafted directly into your neck as a “radical new form of cosmetic surgery”.

2. At the end of a conversation with your partner you say “and coming up in next weeks episode -” before stopping abruptly and realizing you weren’t actually podcasting.

3. You become an accidental alcoholic, sculling several bottles of whiskey a day in the hope that you’ll get that rich, deep golden radio voice.

4. When you stare at clouds you try and pick out the microphone shaped ones.

5. You’re totally cool with offering up your first born so you can have an actual phone conversation with someone who works at ITunes.

6. Your microphone has developed a strange smell that only comes from hours of catching spittle and putrid smelling throat juice.

7. You’re sizing up anyone who shows the slightest interest in your podcast as a co-host. This does not exclude animals.

8. You have a computer desk in front of your toilet so you can check your Feedburner stats at least three times a day.

9. When you’re having a boring conversation with strangers, you tune out and start making edit points in your head.

10. You’ve cut out a printed image of your artwork and super glued it to your computer screen. That way when you open up ITunes you artwork is guaranteed to be always there.

Most people are a little embarrassed about their voice when they talk into a microphone and think that if they can tweak it just a little it’ll sound better. But the truth be told, your voice is probably fine, the problem is you’re just too close to it. You’ve heard it all your life and you are probably your worst critic.
