BUILDING BETTER MEN PODCAST

The "Building Better Men" podcast is a vehicle to provide encouragement, education and guidance to help men live for Jesus in the Kingdom, in the Family and in the Community. Episodes are short and sweet, typically lasting 5-10min with longer episodes for interviews and other in-depth information

THE BUILDING BETTER MEN PODCAST
Are you able to give positive encouragement regarding topics such as spiritual/mental health, depression, unemployment/job seeking, entrepreneurship/business advice, positive thinking, home budgeting and finance, leading a family, working from home, parenting, home-schooling etc.? 

If so, we are seeking your help!

While many of our church buildings are closed in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis we want to provide a simple, accessible and effective way for guys to remain connected to God by producing a regular podcast to encourage and inspire them with practical steps to become "better men" in the Kingdom, Family and Community.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED?

    If you have a smartphone you can use the built-in voice recording app (or download one). There are a few ways you can record.

    1. Holding the phone to your ear and speaking into the mic as you would on a normal phone call
    2. Holding the mic to your mouth as you would if you were using the phone "hands-free"
    3. Plug in earphones with a mic or connect bluetooth ear buds (which usually have a mic installed)

    You might need to do a couple of tests to see which method sounds best


    If, however, you happen to have professional equipment and wish to record your audio that way, then that is obviously even better!

  • HOW DO I SEND YOU THE AUDIO FILE?

    You can send the file via email to lifebuilders@ntcg.org.uk 

  • WHAT FORMAT SHOULD THE AUDIO FILE BE IN?

    MP3 is preferred but any other format can be accepted

  • I DON'T LIKE MY VOICE - CAN I STILL CONTRIBUTE?

    Yes. We understand some people may be extremely nervous about recording their own voice - if this is you then don't worry.
