NaPodPoMo + DreemPort Challenge This is the reason that I started a Podcasting journey! **Record a trailer they said!** ***Who is they?*** You know who they is ... Dreemie herself on Hive dreemsteem https://peakd.com/@dreemsteem So I got out my spade out (Americans call it a shovel! Now that is another episode of ***It Takes Two To Tengo!***) and did some digging around and found NaPodPoMo Trailer Tips from our very own Podcast Queen epodcaster https://peakd.com/hive-128305/@epodcaster/napodpomo-trailer-tips https://peakd.com/@epodcaster **National Podcast Post Month** **November 1st-30th: 30 Podcasts in 30 Days** Did you know that NaPodPoMo has its own website http://napodpomo.org/ **Fun ~ well Fun** ***AND*** **Awesome Fact...** In 2007, 50 podcasters participated in the first ever National Podcast Post Month aka NaPodPoMo. Created by **Jennifer Navarrete** and who is Jennifer ... Jennifer happens to be @epodcaster on Hive, now how fluffing awesome is that! https://peakd.com/@epodcaster

In my quick reading of a couple of posts I saw a reference to Anchor https://anchor.fm/tengolotodo I opened up Play Store and downloaded Anchor on October 31st **Bish Bash Bosh a couple of minutes later...**

**I had recorded a 59 second trailer!** and ***It Takes Two To Tengo*** was born. That was so cool. Talk about easy. Put phone infront of face, hit record button, talk, hit stop button. Then publish... I tend to just do something without thinking of the consequences, which seems to lead to people thinking I have a relaxed laidback demeanor which right enough has saved my life a couple of times in far off lands. So the name of the show reflects the fact there will be no theme to my podcast execpt that I will try to make them entertaining. If I make the listener smile or laugh then I will say it is a success. I did some rummaging around online and found there was a Aureal community courtesy of @traciyork ... although there have times when I can not open up Aureal properly (neither can @nicklewis sometimes and as we are both in the UK I wonder if that is a UK thing...) https://ecency.com/created/hive-197565 https://peakd.com/@traciyork https://peakd.com/@nicklewis **I digress** .... The reason I mentioned Aureal, is that it is a Hive built podcast tool, front end and community. I connected my Anchor RSS feed to Aureal and now when I publish my podcast episode from Anchor it automatically publishes a post on Aureal community on Hive! Coolness overload if you ask me.

My playlist if you like, one trailer and three episodes! To say I am chuffed is an understatement. I have been complimented on how professional they sound! I think that is baloney and put it down to having added background music. One great thing about Anchor is the simple dashboard with their analytics as shown down there 👇👇👇

As you can see I have 81 plays, and that is amazing, today is the best day with 28 plays and there is still three hours left, nor have I recorded or uploaded todays episode! 👏👏👏 Well done Tengo!

As I mentioned I like to have fun, life is too short for anything else for me. There is a NaPodPoMo Mega Feed and thank you @epodcaster for clarifying to this bonafide numpty that my RSS feed had been included by you already. http://feed.informer.com/digests/XGFXORDDMS/feeder https://peakd.com/@epodcaster First week summary In four words .... I fluffing loved it!🎙🎙🎙🎙 **Q** **Was it hard?** A No at all ~ It was ridiculously easy, however I will play around at the weekend to make it sound more professional (inluding me) **Q** **Was it exciting**? A It actually was, and I prefer it to writing at the moment. Interestingly enough though, my engagement on my posts has really dropped, but maybe that is what I need. I seem to have engaged like a madman and now could be the time to reign that in and focus on me for once and doing what I enjoy. **Q Did I think about giving up?** A Not for one second. I am a stubborn so and so, and when I decide to do something, I do it and don't give a flying fnck what others think! **Q Did I start to catch the fire?** A As soon as I downloaded Anchor and hit the record button for the first time I was hooked and a fire was lit! **Q Am I hoping it will get easier?** A No, it can't get any easier. However, and there is always a BUT, to improve needs some tinkering and research, BUT that will be fun to do. We aleays keep learning right? **Q Am I finding your groove?** A I most certainly am, it is fun, and it is also fun listening to other podders, I am not sure what podcasters are called? **Q Do I think that I can keep going?** A Does a bear shit it in the woods? Too right I shall keep going! **Q Do I think I will stop it when November is over?** A Just like a cow chewing the cud, I have thought this over and think I will more than likely continued with a weekly or twice weekly show. It will depend on the direction the show takes over this month! There are some great podcasts that I have been listening to and getting some tips on all sorts of things! So here in no particular order are a few podcasters and their podcasts that I am enjoying listening to! @traciyork ~ AMA About Hive (or other things) @epodcaster ~ Podcasting and the Blockchain @acgalarza ~ Podcast Life Talk @balikis95 ~ Balikis @dreemsteem ~ beyond the SPECTRUM @kenechukwu97 ~ A Better Me @shadowspub ~ Nicheless Narrative @iwannabeme ~ I Wanna Be Me When I Grow Up https://peakd.com/@traciyork https://aureal.one/episode/2080825 https://peakd.com/@epodcaster https://aureal.one/episode/2080800 https://peakd.com/@acgalarza https://aureal.one/episode/2080836 https://peakd.com/@balikis95 https://anchor.fm/balikis95 https://peakd.com/@dreemsteem https://aureal.one/episode/2080827 https://peakd.com/@kenechukwu97 https://anchor.fm/kenechukwu-valentine https://peakd.com/@shadowspub https://nichelessandlovingit.com/nicheless-narrative-podcast/ https://peakd.com/@iwannabeme https://aureal.one/episode/2080837 Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day! ***All images and ramblings are from me, the mad Scotsman TengoLoTodo unless otherwise stated.*** ***@tengolotodo*** ***November 5th 2022*** https://peakd.com/@tengolotodo **DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND DO IT OFTEN** **Haste Ye Back!**
