To Podcast or Blog?

a few pointers

People often ask me: do I recommend podcasting or blogging? If I had time to do just one - a podcast or a blog - which would I do?

Well, the question is easy to answer for some people. If you write easily but find it not as easy to speak, you're a blogger. If talk comes easy to you, but written words do not, you're a podcaster.

But there are also some general media principles that apply, and may be of help to you:

  • Podcasts take much more tech savvy and equipment than blogs to produce: Think about it - all you need is any old computer to write a blog. But a podcast takes a microphone, a recording piece of software, and knowledge of how to upload it.
  • Podcasts can be listened to in cars and when someone is walking - in that sense, they have a bigger potential audience. At present, however, many millions more people read blogs than listen to podcasts.
  • Blog posts - at present - can be more easily disseminated and quoted than podcast episodes. All you have to do with a blog post is copy and paste.
  • You might develop a more personal rapport with your audience as a podcaster - a voice is more personal than a word on a screen.

So, think about it - pros and cons for each approach. And, if you're still not sure whether to podcast or blog - take the plunge - try both!

    Synchronistically, I want to get a podcast up on our new radio show: Moon, Moo & You: The Collective Wisdom. This is a cosmic verification of what we are trying to do.

    I love to blog and the BTR platform easily translates to podcasting--

    Am still learning the ina and outs.

    Thank you!!

    I am a lover of sci-fi/fantasy/horror and all things pop culture, so I will definitely be checking out your books as well as more of your podcasts and blogs. I really enjoyed the Trader Joe's podcast. :) Very nice lens!
