As one might imagine, the content of a podcast is the most significant factor to be taken into consideration when determining its level of quality. In other words, if the message contained in a podcast is not captivating, and/or interesting to an audience, most likely, the author of the podcast will not be very successful at getting his/her message across. Therefore, a podcast must be thoroughly planned prior to its recording, to ensure an optimum level of quality and/or receptiveness by its intended audience.
When planning a podcast, there are some factors one must take into consideration. Among these are:
Determining who your audience will be;
Choosing the kind of message you would like to share;
Setting the length (with respect to time) of your podcast;
And last but not least...
Determining the format of your podcast; be that an informative podcast, an interview, or if it simply involves recording your own ideas, opinions, and concerns in regards to a particular subject (Gunter).
Once the general format of the podcast is chosen, one might consider using occasional humorous remarks to deliver his/her message, in order to keep his/her listener engaged, and interested in the content of his/her podcast.
