Remote Production Made Simple

​

Flow Riders!

Have you ever wondered how some creators make video podcasting look effortless while juggling multiple hosts across different time zones?

The secret isn't fancy equipment or a massive budget—it's having the right production flow. And we're about to show you exactly how to set it up.

Why Remote Production Changes Everything

Picture this: You're hosting a show with co-hosts in Massachusetts and Hawaii while you're in Florida. Sounds complicated, right? It's actually simpler than you think.

The magic happens when you have:

• One person handling all the technical stuff
• Hosts who can focus purely on content
• Multiple backup recordings (because internet happens)
• A clear run-of-show that everyone follows

“ Once you start podcasting, you become like those people who went to Disney and won't stop telling everyone why they need to go. The difference? You can actually help them by remote producing their first few episodes — Doc Rock

Your Remote Production Toolkit

The Connection: Ecamm for Zoom

Why this combo works better than browser-based solutions:

• Everyone knows how to use Zoom (comfort level = 100%)
• Better video quality and connection stability
• Built-in recording redundancy
• Handles video switching automatically (with active speaker mode)

The Planning: Milanote (or Your Preferred Tool)

Before you hit record, you need:

• Guest information and correct name spellings
• Run-of-show outline
• Sponsor details and links
• Visual scenes pre-built in Ecamm

Pro tip: Your planning tool should match how your brain works. If Notion feels too rigid, try something more visual like Milanote. If you prefer simple, a Google Doc might be perfect.

The Safety Net: Multiple Recordings

Never rely on just one recording:

• Producer records the full show + individual tracks
• Each host records their own clean feed
• Zoom creates an additional backup
• YouTube saves the live stream

“ Having to re-record an episode almost always sucks because there's gems that come out naturally that end up forced the second time. — Doc Rock
