How to Repurpose LinkedIn Lives as Podcasts with Jon Gay - Ep 214

Repurposing LinkedIn Lives Into Your Podcast with Jon GayAs I was thinking about what to publish this week, I decided to go to my "Vault" containing a few years of LinkedIn Live interviews, and where better to start than this episode, featuring podcast producer Jon Gay who shares strategy tips about converting past LinkedIn Live videos into a podcast and why the advice still matters. Jon explains the basics of turning video into audio, why audio can be more intimate and memorable than video, and how podcasts create long-term, evergreen ROI. He covers key production tips: using a dynamic mic like the Samson Q2U instead of a Blue Yeti, recording in a sound-friendly space, doing a mic check, what to avoid drinking before a show (dairy/carbonation), staying close to the mic, and managing notifications. He compares Zoom with local-recording platforms, discusses editing options (including Descript), and outlines hosting, RSS feeds, distribution to Apple/Spotify/YouTube, promotion tactics, and respecting audience time. We also discuss DIY vs outsourcing, pricing ranges, ideal episode length, and monetization realities.00:00 Podcast Vault Intro01:27 Tools Hosting Disclosures02:34 Meet Jon Gay04:46 Why Repurpose Lives05:45 Jon Framework Overview07:16 Audio Versus Video08:42 Podcasting Growth ROI11:23 Mic Gear Recommendations14:02 Recording Space Setup15:27 Zoom Versus Local Recording18:02 Make Visuals Audio Friendly19:07 Presentation Day Soundcheck23:35 Mic Technique Proximity24:55 Editing Software Options25:14 Choose Your DAW25:28 Before And After Edit26:57 Descript Text Editing28:57 Podcast Hosting Basics30:26 Distribution And Promotion32:10 Follow Not Subscribe33:09 Respect Your Audience35:41 Audience Q And A36:10 DIY Vs Outsource Costs39:11 Ideal Episode Length42:07 Monetization Mindset43:29 YouTube Audio Tradeoffs45:43 Wrap Up And ContactConnect with Jon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jongay18/Visit his website: https://jagpodcastproductions.com/Check out my affiliate / partner offers here: https://www.mellermarketing.com/specialoffersOriginal livestream: https://www.youtube.com/live/-hhmFrbYC0A?si=EOGA7PJbJs2zTjjNSupport the show**************************************My name is Brenda Meller.
