Shounoting
Shounoty (English show - “show”, notes - “notes”) play two roles simultaneously. At the stage of recording a podcast, shounts help the podcaster not to take the monologue (dialogue) thread, to have at least control points, highlights and topics that need to be covered in the podcast. At the post publication stage, shounts help listeners to know what the podcast is about and, in some cases, to get some additional information — links, photos, etc.
Here is a typical example of shountotov for podcasters (43rd issue of " Kazakh in Canada "):
As you can see, in my particular case, this is just a list of topics for which I will speak, as well as an approximate order of voicing. That issue was recorded almost immediately, after the described actions, so there was only one or two words here, I remembered everything at that time. If I recorded that podcast in a couple of weeks, then it would be worthwhile to make the shounts a little more detailed, for example:
I just diluted them with a couple of phrases that I personally understand and will personally help me to refresh my memory while recording the podcast. To the listener, such, of course, cannot be shown. Honestly, I was too lazy to paint it in official shounots, so the text for the 43rd issue turned out to be utterly simple .
You can store shunots in individual podcasts anywhere and at your convenience. At first, I wrote them on paper in a special notebook, then began to write in a text file, and then completely switched to the Internet - the shunots were recorded in Google Notebook . This is very convenient, because you can see, correct or use this text anywhere in our planet.
For collective podcasts, if the interlocutors are behind different computers, or even on different sides of the world, this approach becomes simply necessary. Most often they use either Google Notebook or Google Docs. In my humble opinion, Google Docs simply doesn’t need much functionality, so we’ll use Google Notebook in all the podcasts where we participate. This is what this laptop looks like, shunoty for the 19th edition of Radio-U:
The order here is a little more important, but often you have to focus on the move - some topics generate more discussions, variations and improvisations, so we look closer to the end of time, and often we remove one or two topics. That is why we are throwing a couple more into Google Notebook, so that there is a choice.
Google Notebook (as well as Google Docs, by the way) makes it easy to connect any person to view and edit notes, so the themes for the release are put together with us. It is very convenient.
...
And now let's look at the shots on the listener's side. Based on my experience, I can distinguish three main types of shounts for podcasts:
A typical example of the first type - a simple list of topics - is Podcasts Radio-T or Umputun Weekly Podcast. It looks something like this or that . This option, as can be seen from two examples, usually leaves the audience happy with technical podcasts. More “down-to-earth” podcasts usually delight their listeners not only with topics, but also with texts, some additional materials. Let's look at a typical example - the release of the Tits-Pisek Show .
The latter type is not common at all. But its appearance does not really attract listeners.
As a conclusion, here are personal tips:
Good luck! :)

That issue was recorded almost immediately, after the described actions, so there was only one or two words here, I remembered everything at that time. If I recorded that podcast in a couple of weeks, then it would be worthwhile to make the shounts a little more detailed, for example:
43
1) reading week, what is, why, what we did -> Montreal
2) greyhaund bus station, Mike's story, buying tickets (photo)
3) bus, toilet on the bus, road (Reggae Voyage Podcast)
4) access to the city, car route, through the airport, station of arrival
5) the streets of old Montreal, church, downtown
6) Metro, missed stations, interchanges, experiment ...
7) ... which led us in the ass, the Italian quarter, and back ...
8) everywhere football shops! HOORAY!
9) 70s American style restaurant

And now let's look at the shots on the listener's side. Based on my experience, I can distinguish three main types of shounts for podcasts:
- a simple list of topics
- the list of topics and / or additional material (paragraph or two text, links, photos / pictures)
- lack of text
A typical example of the first type - a simple list of topics - is Podcasts Radio-T or Umputun Weekly Podcast. It looks something like this or that . This option, as can be seen from two examples, usually leaves the audience happy with technical podcasts. More “down-to-earth” podcasts usually delight their listeners not only with topics, but also with texts, some additional materials. Let's look at a typical example - the release of the Tits-Pisek Show .
The latter type is not common at all. But its appearance does not really attract listeners.
As a conclusion, here are personal tips:
- write shounoty
- at least in a couple of phrases describe what your podcast is about
- if you link to some sites, give links
- ... to some movies - give links (a good option is a link to the profile of the film on imdb.com )
- ... for some music - give links (a good option is a link to a musician's profile or a song on last.fm )
- ... on some other podcasts - the same
- if there is music in the podcast, write at least the author and the full title of the song. If podsafe music is used , and the file is located on a podcast terminal, then it is strongly recommended to give a link to this song in order: 1) to prove its “sub-levy”, 2) to enable listeners to get a song
- if the podcast is published not only on the feed terminal, but for example in a blog or on a desktop , it is advisable to specify the bitrate, the playing time and the link to the RSS feed in the shunotes.
- Don't forget to include the shounts in the mp3 file itself. Personally, I write the text in the Lyrics tag, you can do this using iTunes and any other player with full editing of ID3 tags or a special editor program.
Good luck! :)
