Transcript
Welcome to Presentation skills, Q and A. I am Martin.
Martin:Linda Scope.
Martin:Hi, Carina.
Carina:Hi, Martin.
Carina:How are you today?
Martin:I'm doing fine.
Martin:Yourself?
Carina:Yes I'm doing fine, really fine.
Carina:Looking forward for this episode.
Carina:I should say last time we were talking about Visi.
Martin:Yeah and we will continue to talk a little bit more about this studio and app you
Martin:could say and that you could illustrate a podcast episode with images and then have
Martin:different segments called chapters.
Martin:So now we are trying to paint a picture here
Martin:for the listeners and for ourselves and also our workflow of how to create an episode of a
Martin:podcast with images that are relevant to trying out this we are testing and trying and
Martin:see what's working and so on.
Martin:So VC has for example you could now even do
Martin:your own, you could say illustrate like a YouTube video with images and then distributed
Martin:to YouTube and you have been thinking and tinkering about this.
Martin:What are images doing to your brain? You could say and imagination.
Carina:This is really interesting because our brain are full of pictures but we doesn't
Carina:always think about it.
Carina:And this tool for podcasters visit they
Carina:support the content in a podcast with pictures so it helps the listener to see the podcast
Carina:and the content in the Podcast and the Brain.
Carina:Our brains loves this.
Carina:You can use a picture for describe something and the brain wants to learn more when it sees
Carina:the picture.
Carina:And it get the information in a good and
Carina:appropriate pace and it also opens your mind.
Carina:So it's very interesting how the brain helps
Carina:you to learn more.
Carina:When it sees more pictures, you can say, yeah.
Martin:And then it's then the challenge, because I like audio and like podcast and
Martin:often you are listening actively and don't look so much on the screen.
Martin:But here is now if it's adding value to your listening experience with images for example,
Martin:one of the business cases Visa is like, for example, a podcast about interior design or
Martin:apartments or real estates or fashion maybe.
Martin:Could be illustrated when you're listening and
Martin:when we're talking about something specific.
Martin:And then you could watch it, but then also, of
Martin:course, you create your own image of it.
Martin:So this is a very interesting topic, I think,
Martin:and they have one features that you could include, then a link to, for example, last.
Martin:Episode.
Martin:You talked about your books.
Carina:Yes.
Martin:And then you could link to your book and you could purchase your book.
Martin:So it's fascinating how you could continue your listening experience and do more during
Martin:at the same time and then also of course, afterwards when you have listened.
Carina:And the pictures, they also helps us to compress all the information that we got.
Carina:So that's why it's also really important that when you have these pictures that is relevant
Carina:for the content, you change them now and them during the episode and the best things you can
Carina:do.
Carina:I have learned this because I delivered
Carina:education to one of the biggest elearning companies in Sweden called Mudoufetbeth.
Carina:There you have you learn that you should change your picture within 30 or 45 seconds.
Carina:That's the best time for the brain, the human to watch the pictures and to learn.
Martin:Then we have a picture good format.
Martin:Then around five minutes could create this.
Martin:Because then again, as I said, it's the workflow to come up with great images.
Martin:Great images or find images that you have also talked about in your courses.
Martin:How to store images and content in different ways.
Carina:But we are checking out this visit and I think it's very interesting.
Carina:But we will write this and give the links in our show notes, doesn't we?
Martin:Yes. So it's VC FM and again, go and check out the new podcast app and the new
Martin:domain for that is podcast apps.
Martin:Podcastapps.com.
Carina:Okay, but we put it in our show notes.
Martin:Yes, we will do that.
Carina:We'll find it and maybe also at YouTube where we also have our podcast.
Martin:Yeah, so talk to you soon again carrying out.
Carina:Yes, lovely.
Carina:Well, have a nice day then.
Martin:Yeah, you too.
Martin:Have a nice weekend.
Martin:Cheerio.
Carina:Cheerio.
