Podcast update. Not finished yet. I still have to add firework text effects,
So the opposite of the advice I gave you?
I don't really talk about this as I can't prove it since it would identify me, but I was actually paid to make YouTube videos a few years ago and my biggest hit has 1.5 Million views - it's a revision video for High School Math. I do know a bit about this.
So... lets try some more detailed feedback... who wants to see 2.5 minutes of random game box art in the backrooms with musak? I'm clicking off this video and watching something else.
Look at chat show intros, this is one the YouTube algorithm keeps making me watch on US Politics even though I'm in England and I DO watch it when it appears:
5 second intro
10 second pan over host+guests
1 minute preview of guests
5 minute opening monolouge
10 minute back and forth with guests
148,000 views in 9 hours as of posting this, all his shows are in this structure.
So have a super short intro video/music no more than 15 seconds, quickly preview the guests for 1 minute, then start a news segment about the topic to be discussed that's no more than 5 minutes of the facts for people not in the know. Then talk to the guests, with your job being to keep them succinct and on topic so that the podcast isn't hours long without good reason.
Later you clip the best bits so one filming does double work as a full podcast and also bite sized YouTube videos.
Call it "Dead Game Society". Am I going to have to do this myself lol?
