As more people enter the podcasting space, the need for solid reliable information is greater than ever. There is a lot of misinformation out there. Here are some of my favorite online podcasting communities. What are yours?


Part 1: FACEBOOK GROUPS

Podcast Movement Community - For Podcasters
This group has over 41k members and has good rules to prevent spammy self-promotion. It is a part of the Podcast Movement conference, the largest podcasting conference in the world. This year their event is moving online. PM Conference PM Facebook Community

She Podcasts
She Podcasts is a large and active group with over 17k members. It defines its Facebook community as a safe place for women or non-binary ONLY who podcast or who are setting up a show currently to ask questions, provide support, share resources, wins, and advocate for each other. The admins have done a great job of creating an inclusive culture with lost of great information sharing. She Podcasts started out as a podcast and has grown to encompass the Facebook Group, a smaller paid group (She Podcasts Super Squad) and their own event She Podcasts Live. She Podcasts Facebook Group She Podcasts Live

Podfest
This group is smaller, with about 3k members, and has a more grassroots community feel. Please - don't go to this group to post links to your own show, but DO go to ask questions and learn from other podcasters and experts. The founder, Chris Krimistos is an active participant and community builder. Like PM it was created as a part of the Podfest Multimedia Expo which is also creating an online experience. Podfest Facebook Group Podfest Expo 

Podcast Editors Club
Podcast editors club is an active and growing group with frequent webinars and educational resources founded by Steve Stewart. It's a place for indie and professional podcast editors to share tips, ideas, and find help with editing podcasts. Podcast Editors Club 


Just Busters: Female Podcast Editors
With just under 1k members I LOVE this group. It's full of powerhouse editors and podcast industry leaders and has regular live educational sessions, but it's small enough that it's a place to make real personal connections. Their motto is connect, learn, and grow. Among the group rules: No Mansplaining allowed.

Podcast Monetization Secrets
I know, sounds like a get rich quick scheme. The group is new, with about 100 members to date. But it's run by Christy Haussler who is well established in the independent podcast world and so far has had excellent information. I trust this group will grow into a strong resource.

Shooting on Snow

7/20/2020

 
I was doing a footage search for a client yesterday and came across this gem in the archives. On a sunny day, I loved nothing more than shooting on snow. On the sleety days where I made up rules for how long I'd go without feeling my feet before heading inside or calculated the body mass to surface area ratio to determine how much more likely I was to become hypothermic than the big guys I worked with ... that was what they call "level 2" fun. The kind that builds camaraderie and leaves you with great stories and a sense of accomplishment.

Today the cameras are smaller, lighter, cheaper, more versatile and best of all take better pictures, but the basics are unchanged.
  • Always think 5 steps ahead.
  • Good composition.
  • Good storytelling.
  • Good rapport.
  • Good technique for managing weather and protecting equipment.
  • First and foremost do everything you need to do to take care of yourself (warmth, nutrition, hydration) so you are a contributing member of the team, not an additional challenge.
