Noob Spearo Podcast, Season 2

Improved with help from our listeners!

After 20 interviews with some awesome spearfishing guests from all over the world and steady growth in our community, Noob Spearo Podcast is ready for some improvements. To help us improve the show we took several steps

1. We launched a Noob Spearo Podcast listener survey and asked you (our listeners) what you thought.
2. We surveyed our previous guests and took their feedback onboard.
3. We took on Pat Dwyer, a Podcast Producer (intern) to consult, advise and assist us with the show

Intern Podcast Producer Pat Dwyer

Pat Dwyer came on the team in early October as our intern Producer to help us take the Podcast to the next level, a task he has taken to with energy, expertise and intent. Pat is a professional audio engineer with experience in Radio, Podcast, Film and T.V production. Coupled with extensive experience producing business and marketing media are his tertiary level media production qualifications. His skills have quickly made him a welcome addition to the Noob Spearo team.

Pat is passionate about audio production and brings attention to detail and an experienced engineering voice to the table. Turbo and I are really enjoying working with him and are eagerly anticipating the release of season 2 with Pats help. You can get into contact with Pat at patdwyer@outlook.com.

Next Actions

Pat, Turbo and I sat down and analyzed the feedback we had received from Noob Spearo Podcast listeners as well as going back over our previous interviews and analyzing the pro’s and con’s. Needless to say there were lots of opportunities for improvements.

With Pats fresh ears and our listener feedback we came up with a number of improvements.

1. We have ditched the classical music and English voice actor introduction. This was based on multiple pieces of feedback suggesting that it didn’t match the feel and style of the show.
2. We recorded (in Pats pro-studio) many new segments (inc a new intro) and he has provided us with some speaking and mic coaching.
3. Our audio editing approach has been improved and standardized with Pats technical skills.
4. Our show layout and questions have been reconfigured and hopefully this will allow for improved interviews and listening.
5. We bought new equipment and upgraded our ‘studio’. Turbo has put in some big yards to get this improved.
6. Turbo and I are both making improvements in our own styles to improve the interviews.
