Hey there, Michelle. How's everything going? Everything is good over here. Lindsay, how are you? I'm feeling good. Shall we get into it?
What do you think? Yeah. So, Lindsay, we've been doing some long recording sessions, right?
Yeah. We've been recording a lot of podcast episodes for our listeners.
We basically live on the microphone. Yeah, exactly. I'm just going to put it next to my bed while I'm sleeping and see maybe we can get an episode out that way. But it's a good thing. Guys, we absolutely love it. But Lindsay, how do you prepare for the start of a long recording session?
Well, you know, it really matters what you say. I mean, that's why we host a language podcast, right? We believe here that language can set the tone for connection, for fun, for enjoyment, for just really focusing in on a task. Right. And so especially when, you know, you're staring down a long recording session, like we sometimes we sit down and we record eight episodes at a time, which takes two or three hours, maybe three. Right. So what do we say? Something like what I just said, let's get into it with a little bit of energy in my voice can motivate my co-host. Right.
Yeah, exactly. You want to sound like you have energy behind it. You're ready to go. You're excited rather than like,
Thank you.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah. Let's go.
What motivates the hosts before a recording session?
That's never going to work. Really, you want to show how you need the energy of the activity to be.
Yeah. And on podcasting, when it comes to podcasting, you need to feed off the energy of your co-host as well, which is what we do here, right? I mean, it would never be the same for me, at least, if this were a solo hosted podcast. I would have no energy to work off of. I need your energy, Michelle. I need that back and forth.
I've given it. Here you go. Here's my energy.
Yeah, no, but it's true.
It would be totally different if it was solo. But today, we're going to talk about these kinds of expressions, right? How to say, basically, let's get started in idiomatic and fun ways to get that energy up.
Yes, get the energy up. Because sometimes you can also transform someone's energy. If the person you say this to at the beginning of what might feel like a daunting task, daunting is a good bonus word for today, Michelle, a big heavy task, it might shift their energy, right? They might have been tired, but now they see that you're excited. So now they're perking up a bit and they're ready to go. Sometimes just a simple comment like this could do it. Yeah, definitely.
So yeah, we also might do this even after we've started recording, we might do this when we're getting into the meat of the episode, right? After the intro.
