How We Produce The Internet Sports Broadcast Network

Recently we launched the Internet Sports Broadcast Network. Actually, it's fair to say we brought the show back when we did live audio streams in 2005.

Four of us good friends decided we would start recording our sports talk

Interested in listening? We added to the Google Music Podcast Platform.





We have 4 completed shows with some guests you may know.  We record every Wednesday night and add the recording to our podcast platform.

The process for adding the recording to YouTube, Podcast Platform and Apple Podcast and Google Music.

We record on Zoom.  The recorded podcast is saved to my computer.  Add the audio file to my editing software.  Add introduction bumper music. Edit the audio timeline. Add outro bumper music. The final step.  Drag the logo of the show over the audio timeline to create a video for YouTube.

Take the final YouTube version and convert it back to audio-only using conversion software. Upload the audio-only version to the podcast platform.  The podcast platform supplied an RSS link for adding to Apple Podcast.

In fact, the RSS feed allows me to add the media to any platform that accepts RSS.

Podcast Austin Biz Buzz We Build the Buzz About Austin Business

For the past 5 years, covered Austin Texas business under the Hurdie Burk Broadcast Network.  The goal create a podcast that identified Austin Business. Brand the podcast Austin Biz Buzz.

The next step capture a sponsor.  A long-time friend and client Mike O'Neal owner of the Money Coach LLC proudly contacted me for sponsorship for 35 podcasts covering Austin Business.

How it works?  The whole idea,  give the podcast business guest something to push out (Inbound Marketing).  

The steps.

1.  A potential business owner in Austin and surrounding area send me 10 questions via email to ask the business owner on the podcast. 

2.  I use Zoom and record the interview for 30 minutes answering the questions the business owner sent.

3. I add the recording to editing software ( audio) and add the introduction bumper.  Once I edit the audio I use the above banner and drag across the audio to create a video. I add in my sponsor a 30-sec audio ad. Add the music save and upload it to YouTube.

4. I upload to YouTube and then copy link add to the Facebook Group.

5. Send to the  Business Owner the  Podcast links from YouTube for both standard link and embed code.  The Business Owner can share with his social platforms for the ongoing buzz.

6. I take the finished edit and run it back through "Any Audio Converter" and create an mp3 audio clip only.

7. I then go to Podcast Garden and upload the audio version only.  Create an audio player version only.  This is where I get my RSS link and the ability to add to iTunes and Google play.

YouTube Studio Beta New Look

Have you seen the new YouTube Studio beta?    Find the new look in a link on your channel.  When signed into YouTube.

YouTube will allow a switch back to creator studio when confused on the new tool usage.  Very soon all YouTube channels will be switched.

Now is a great time for learning all the ways to use the channel.  My first impression was confusion.  

Once I figured out the navigation the channel was easier and fun to work within. 

Repetition and discovery learning will help you through the navigation process.  YorTube needed a new look and added tools to meet the way we search for content.

Most of the tools on the channel remain the same. YouTube will offer news and ideas for you. Basic analytics will give a quick channel overview.

My first look and reaction were yikes.  After some time playing around on the channel it grew on me.
Have fun and enjoy the new changes.

How to Loop a Video On Your YouTube Channel

Did you know you have the ability to loop a video on your YouTube Channel?   I actually went to Loom and created a short video tutorial.

One more feature highlighted is creating a URL from a starting point on your video.

I went to a video on my YouTube channel.  I did a right click on Video and did a check mark on Loop my video.

I went to my blog page and first did a share link of the same video and it did not loop.  I also copied the embed code and added to the HTML box and did a test on the loop feature.  The video did not loop on my blog and did show related plays.

The video loops on my channel but not using the link provided by YouTube.  The link provided by YouTube

Here is the Embed of the video I did a check mark to loop on my channel. Does not loop on embed.

There is no longer a stop related plays when you use embed.  This was one of the nice features not to show other videos once finished.  Build a playlist
