Embedded Files
The following steps are the general process for creating a podcast episode, in case you are not using the Trello Board, which was designed to make editing easier:
Download audio from Zoom / Google Drive / etc.
Upload audio (or video, if that's all that is available) to Anchor
*Rename audio track to be same as Trello card and podcast: Subject (Speaker/s) - Show/Series #Episode
Trim Start and End points for audio (might need to listen to some to determine if there is admin up front - we cut out references to Zoom, etc.)
If able, listen through entire audio; if unable, look for long gaps (flat lines) and Split audio around gaps or content to remove (e.g. garble, admin notes, wouldn't be good if public, etc.)
Add "MVP Intro + Music" and "MVP Outro + Music" from Anchor Library and move on either side of audio
Save Podcast as Draft (opens new page to name and add details)
Name episode (should match Trello card)
Add description (look at descriptions from other episodes for any standard text, or see Eventbrite / planning Google Doc for other details) - if unknown description, just type "Add words here" as an obvious placeholder while in DRAFT mode
Add applicable cover art (should be part of this template already - see /Podcast folder in Shared Drive or applicable Canva graphic if not)
Choose publish date (not horribly important other than for sequencing or if back-dating; we try and add other episodes between Weekly Wrap-Ups just to break things up) - NOTE: Do this part on a computer, mobile app won't let you choose any publish date other than "Now"
Publish episode (NOTE: checklist does not have to be completed in one sitting)
* You can technically save the podcast as a draft here by skipping to Step 7 and inputting something for the description (e.g. "Words go here") so that you or a teammate can return to it later. This is a good practice if you are running low on time and just want to get the audio uploaded via computer so you can scrub through it later on mobile.
