• 0:02
  Speaker 1: ar r oe dot net. It is a network of
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: podcasts every choice you could ever imagine. I mean, if
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: you're into pickleball, or if you're into ya authors, even
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: if you're into those who start on NBC's The Voice.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Aero dot net really does check into what you're doing.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: It's your content, it's your stage. Ero dot net, a
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: r r Oe dot net. Enjoy your exploration, YO, what's
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: going on? My name is Errow. I'm the host of
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the weekly podcast Podcrashing and Podcrashing one on one. These
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: episodes connect listeners to podcast specialists around the world. The
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: goal has always been to inform our podcast community with
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: subjects that deal with everything and beyond. Podcrashing one on
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: one has been around since March of twenty nineteen. The
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: original goal was to put focus on helping up and
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: coming podcasters to have the right information about hosting as
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: well as surviving inside the podcasting world. This is Podcrashing
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: one on one episode number four hundred ninety three. A
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: long list of interviews are scheduled, and the zoom on
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the Internet has gone down. A podcaster's worst nightmare, right
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: been there? Way too often, and yet I do understand
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: it's not a reason to sway away from fiber optic.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Research clearly shows you can't avoid the effect of losing
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: your Internet. The number one goal is to have that
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: backup plan when this studio goes down it's got a hiccup.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: What you do is you reach for all things battery
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: operated and get the smartphone locked into it. I move
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: from the Zoom L eight to the always handy Zoom
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: H four. Other podcasters suggest Riverside, dot FM and Zincaster.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: You can also ask your guest to record on their side.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: But but, but, but but that's not always an easy
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: task to pull off. A very important rule to follow,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and I do break it pretty much. Don't book back
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: to back interviews. The level of stress goes through the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: roof when you've got three or more talks to do
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and your dang internet is down. You gotta stay calm.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Most guests are relieved when you show absolutely no panic.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: What many listeners don't understand is how many of we
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: who do the interviewing put ourselves in a position of
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: once in a lifetime, that's what these interviews are. They
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: are not coming back. Always have a backup system plan.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: The thing is is you've just got to get used
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to going to it. Coming up next, when the internet
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: does go boom boom pow, what are some of the alternatives? Hey,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: welcome back to podcrashing one on one. Okay, so the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: internet has gone boom boom pow. Is it time to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: hang up the podcast for a totally different day? How
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: do you like the image of being a quitter? I mean,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: never let the Internet get in your way of that performance.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Walking away from a talk because your zoom is down
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: is actually the difference between a professional and a beginner.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Let's be honest with your listeners. Put them in a
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: moment of everything reality. By letting them experience these moments,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: it could be a first ever moment for them. Show
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: off some reality. It's authentic as well as mysterious. Listeners
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: don't give a crap as much as you think. And
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Internet that goes down isn't a failure. It's part of
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the medium. You knew what it was when you picked
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: it up. A professional will address the issue and create
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a real solution, whereas beginners, okay and perfectionists, oh boy,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: they freak out. They turn their backs and say I'll
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: do this a different day. That's not the way it's
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: supposed to be. Create your podcast by creating an emergency kit. Yeah,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a second system that is reliable and doesn't need the Internet,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: run two digital editors at the same exact time, having
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a separate hotspot on the side, backup microphones, headsets, and laptop.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: It's okay to downgrade. Just don't stop. I'm mariol and
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that's podcrashing one on one
