Image this. It’s early morning in 2018, a year that was extra busy for me. I was working overtime to accomplish performance and production goals for hundreds of my students and clients before selling the Voice One Training division of Voice One in 2019, the business I founded and owned for 32-years, and moving my recording studio to a smaller space. I was also in the midst of a six-month job for Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) directing the speech translation app VoiceTra. Unexpectely, the New York publisher of my voice-over book,

There’s Money Where Your Mouth Is, gives me a call. He tells me that the team met and selected me to write the first voice-over podcasting book!

Horizontal vs. Vertical Formats

How many episodes will the podcast support? Will it have a limited number of episodes or an endless resource base? How should the podcast be formatted? Deciding how far to drill down is based on two formats: Horizontal and Vertical.

1. HORIZONTAL episode structure has a steady theme and familiar predictability.

   
   

2. VERTICAL episode programming features a variety of seemingly unrelated programs under the umbrella of a central brand or abstract message.
