E408 - The Forgotten History of Video Podcasting and Its Comeback Story
Episode 408 - The Forgotten History of Video Podcasting and Its Comeback Story The history of video podcasting via RSS feeds demonstrates that while video in podcasting is currently resurging, it is not a new concept. Here's an overview of its origins and the current resurgence: Early History of Video Podcasting RSS Enclosures and Early Experiments (2000) : The concept of attaching media files, including video, to RSS feeds was proposed in 2000 by Tristan Louis and implemented by Dave Winer. Winer introduced the "enclosure" element in RSS 0.92, allowing media files to be syndicated. This innovation laid the groundwork for both audio and video podcasting First Video Podcasts (2003) : The first known serial video podcast, Dead End Days , was released in 2003. It showcased the potential for distributing video content episodically via RSS feeds Technical Evolution : Early tools like iPodderX (later renamed Transistr) enabled users to access podcasts with graphical interfaces, making it easier to consume both audio and video content. However, video podcasting remained niche due to technical limitations like slow internet speeds and low-quality video playback Resurgence of Video Podcasting Current Trends (2024–2025) : Platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and TikTok have driven the adoption of video podcasting by integrating video capabilities directly into their ecosystems. YouTube's dedicated podcast section and Spotify's support for video uploads have made video podcasting a mainstream format Enhanced audience engagement is a key driver. Video allows for visual storytelling, fosters deeper connections through non-verbal cues like facial expressions, and creates a more immersive experience Monetization opportunities have expanded with video, as creators can leverage ads, sponsorships, and premium content on platforms optimized for visual media Shifts in Content Creation : In contrast to earlier static formats, modern video podcasts often include dynamic elements like B-roll footage and on-screen graphics. Short-form clips optimized for platforms like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts have also become popular for promotional purposes Video podcasting has evolved significantly since its early days in the 2000s when it was pioneered alongside audio podcasting via RSS feeds. While the medium faced initial challenges due to technological constraints, its resurgence today is fueled by advancements in internet speeds, platform support, and audience demand for visually engaging content. This resurgence underscores that while video podcasting feels innovative now, it is deeply rooted in the foundational history of podcasting. <a hr

E404 - Biblically Speaking Podcast, and an Impressive List of Tools That Can Help Your Podcast with CO-HOST - Cassian Bellino
Episode 404 - CO-HOST - Cassian Bellino - Biblically Speaking Podcast, and an Impressive List of Tools That Can Help Your Podcast Meet the Founder, Cassian Bellino When I felt the pull to start the Biblically Speaking podcast, it wasn’t a dramatic revelation, but a persistent nudge. Over the years, I had countless conversations about faith—what began as casual discussions often grew into deeper reflections. I realized that people asked the same questions I once asked, wrestled with similar doubts, and shared insights that resonated with me. I realized I wasn’t just interested in theology—I was driven by it, needing a space to unpack and connect with others around the questions that kept me up at night. With every conversation and every page of Scripture studied, the Bible became clearer, simpler, and, most importantly, transformative. Now, through hundreds of hours of interviews and insights from some of the world’s most respected scholars, Biblically Speaking exists to make the Bible understandable, approachable, and powerfully relevant to everyday life. It’s been a journey of learning, one that has completely changed me—and I’m here to share it with you. Biblically Speaking - The Bible has been a bestseller for millennia, yet learning about Christianity can feel daunting. I felt the same way. So, as I asked questions, I hit "Record." Biblically Speaking is for curious Christians seeking clear answers to big Bible questions. Each episode unpacks Scripture with theologians, breaking down passages, parables, and prophecies to make the Bible relatable and easy to understand. If you're looking to grow in faith with real insights and a fresh perspective, this podcast is your guide to understanding God's Word simply and meaningfully. https://pod.link/1723892791 https://www.bibspeak.com/ https://linktr.ee https://www.stan.store https://podmatch.com https://www.audacityteam.org <strong

Episode 409 - CO-HOST - Bob LeMent - When There Was Only 50 Podcasts, Your Podcast Persona, and a Blue Cat - Video Version Bob joins The How To Podcast Series and yes, he is on video as a cartoon blue cat! So, a video is in order for this episode! The audio version is also available! The Static Web Site’s first official episode was January 1, 1999, in a vain attempt to make the world hear the off-kilter and sophomoric ramblings of Miles Tidal and Bob LeMent. Now 25 years and counting they continue their weekly stream-of-consciousness dialogues. As you may have discerned from listening, we do no preparation or use any manners or decorum to provide a fully improvised piece of comedy. Enjoy. We have been producing this weekly audio internet show, Static Radio, since November 25, 1998. Miles and I have recorded each week with only very minor interruptions over the last 25 years. Those were mostly personal tragedies, family members passing away, or losing your house to a fire, and one national tragedy on September 11, 2001. But other than those minor bumps each week Miles and I give the internet a 15 to 40-minute weekly comedy show about the strange and funny happenings in their lives. Although technology has changed drastically over the last 25 years, Miles and I have persevered week after week to bring a little levity to the world. Yes sometimes it can be quite bawdy, or even crass, but it is always an attempt to make each other laugh and hopefully make you, the audience, laugh as well. We lay bare our quirks, deficits, and all the things that make us human, but try to spin it humorously. https://www.staticradio.com/ ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

E403 - Curiosity Ignited - How Well-Crafted Questions Can Elevate Your Podcast Conversations
Episode 403 - Curiosity Ignited - How Well-Crafted Questions Can Elevate Your Podcast Conversations To spark deeper conversations and connections with your podcast guests, crafting well-thought-out questions is crucial. Here are some strategies and examples to help you leverage better questions: Open-ended questions encourage guests to share detailed stories and insights, leading to more engaging dialogues For example: Instead of: "Did you face challenges while building your business?" Ask: "What were some of the most significant challenges you faced while building your business, and how did you overcome them?" This approach invites your guest to share their journey, insights, and experiences in their own unique way Thoroughly research your guest's background and recent projects. This allows you to ask more informed and personalized questions For example: "I noticed you recently worked on [specific project]. What was the most surprising thing you learned during that process?" This demonstrates your preparation and can lead to discussions about topics the guest may not often get to address Listen actively to your guest's responses and ask follow-up questions to go deeper with your guest For example: If a guest mentions a pivotal career moment, follow up with: "What was going through your mind at that moment?" or "How did that experience shape your approach to what you do today?" Ask questions that challenge common beliefs or encourage critical thinking For example: "What's a commonly held belief in your industry that you passionately disagree with, and why?" This type of question can lead to thought-provoking discussions and showcase your guest's expertise Include questions that reveal the guest's personality and experiences beyond their professional life For example: "What's something our listeners might not know about you?" "If you could give your 18-year-old self some advice, what would you say?" These questions can help create a more personal connection with your guest and audience Encourage your guest to reflect on their experiences and share valuable insights For example: "What's the most important lesson you've learned in your career so far?" "How has [specific event or experience] influenced your decisions since?" By asking these types of well-crafted questions, you can create a more dynamic, insightful, and engaging podcast interview that resonates with your audience and brings out the best in your guests.

Episode 402 - CO-HOST - Brandon Leibowitz - SEO Optimizers - Target keywords and What your biggest opportunities are in SEO Hello, I’m Brandon Leibowitz, the founder and operator of SEO Optimizers. Our digital marketing company is dedicated to assisting small and medium-sized businesses in driving more online traffic, leading to increased clients, sales, and valuable leads. My journey in digital marketing began in 2007, right after I graduated from college with a degree in Business Marketing. My initial job involved managing the marketing aspects of an e-commerce website. Back then, I had limited digital marketing knowledge, and so did the company I worked for. I had no idea what I was doing and neither did they! I spent a lot of my time reading books, watching videos, talking to other marketers, reading blogs, joining digital marketing forums, etc. to learn as much as possible about this new type of marketing. During that time, both the company and I attended classes and workshops together, greatly benefiting from the shared knowledge. This experience has influenced me to personally teach SEO workshops as well. https://schema.org/ https://seooptimizers.com/ https://seooptimizers.com/gift/ ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

By incorporating strategic silences into your speech, you can reduce filler words and create a more engaging listening experience. Benefits of Pausing Eliminates filler words: Pauses can replace "ums" and "ahs," making you sound more confident and in control Improves audience engagement: Short quiet moments grab attention and create excitement for what's coming next Enhances understanding: Pauses give listeners time to process information, especially for complex topics Adds emphasis: Strategic silences highlight important points, making them more memorable Types of Pauses for Podcasters Reflective Pause: Use this 3-7 second pause after sharing complex ideas to allow listeners to contemplate Effect Pause: A brief 1-2 second pause creates anticipation and lets words resonate Spontaneity Pause: This technique makes your content feel fresh and thoughtful, even if it's well-rehearsed Implementing Pauses in Your Podcast Practice mindful pausing: Before recording, take a moment to center yourself and set intentions for your episode Use pauses for transitions: Silence can signal a shift between topics, much like paragraphs in writing Embrace the "pregnant pause": Create suspense by pausing after thought-provoking statements or surprising facts Vary pause lengths: Mix short, medium, and long pauses to maintain a natural, conversational flow Remember, pauses aren't just empty space—they're powerful tools that can elevate your podcast's quality and impact. By mastering the art of the pause, you'll not only reduce filler words but also create a more polished, professional, and engaging podcast experience for your listeners.____ https://howtopodcast.ca/

Podcasthon.org 2025 - Humane World - The Humane Society Charity and Why We Support Them
Podcasthon.org 2025 - Humane World - The Humane Society Charity and Why We Support Them As long standing supporters of our local Humane Society, we wanted to feature this charity as our recommendation for oour invlovement in Podasthon.org's 2025 feature this week. Podcasthon is the world’s largest podcast charity initiative, bringing together podcasters globally to raise awareness for charitable causes. Behind this growing movement are two visionary co-founders: Jérémie Mani and Yves Delnatte . Jérémie Mani is a French entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in the digital industry. Before dedicating himself entirely to Podcasthon, Jérémie built and sold two successful companies in email marketing and content moderation. After moving to Canada in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he began reflecting on how he could use his skills to make a meaningful impact. Rather than launching another business, he wanted to create something that would mobilize thousands of people for a greater cause . That’s where Podcasthon was born—a volunteer-driven initiative aimed at uniting the power of podcasting with the needs of charities. Yves Delnatte is a seasoned entrepreneur and investor with a rich background in business development. He has founded and led multiple ventures across various industries, bringing a wealth of experience to the table. Yves’s journey has been marked by a commitment to leveraging business as a force for good, which naturally led him to co-found Podcasthon alongside Jérémie. His vision is to harness the intimacy and authenticity of podcasts to drive awareness for important causes, creating a global ripple effect of positive change. Traditional fundraising methods like charity galas, marathons, and auctions have their limits. They often require large budgets, exclusive access, or short-lived engagement. Meanwhile, charities around the world struggle to reach new audiences and create long-term connections. Podcasthon started in 2023 with 300 French-speaking podcasters. It grew to over 400 in 2024 and is now expanding worldwide. Our dream? To see Podcasthon become a global tradition , uniting thousands of podcasters in dozens of languages each year. We believe that “podcasting for good” should be more than a buzzword. It should be a movement. By leveraging technology, storytelling, and community engagement, we hope to inspire millions of listeners to care, to act, and to make a difference —one podcast at a time. https://donate.humaneworld.org/page/160655/donate <a href="https://www.humaneworld.org/" target="_bl

E393 - The Wizard of Oz Characteristics That All Podcasters Should Exibit for Their Listeners
Episode 393 - The Wizard of Oz Characteristics That All Podcasters Should Exibit for Their Listeners The main characters from The Wizard of Oz movie and their quests for completeness offer interesting parallels to the characteristics of an effective podcaster: Dorothy - Seeking Home: Dorothy's quest to return home reflects a podcaster's need to find their authentic voice and niche. Just as Dorothy discovers her inner strength, a successful podcaster must develop their unique perspective and personality. This authenticity helps create a connection with listeners, making them feel "at home" with the content. Scarecrow - Seeking a Brain: The Scarecrow's desire for intelligence mirrors a podcaster's need for knowledge and preparation. Like a well-prepared host, an effective podcaster should always be researching topics, understanding their audience, and staying informed about their subject matter. This ensures they can provide valuable, well-thought-out content to their listeners. Tin Woodman - Seeking a Heart: The Tin Woodman's quest for a heart parallels a podcaster's need for empathy and emotional connection. A great podcaster must be able to connect with their audience on an emotional level, showing compassion and understanding. This helps create a sense of humanity in their content, making it more relatable and engaging for listeners. Cowardly Lion - Seeking Courage: The Cowardly Lion's search for courage reflects a podcaster's need for confidence and authenticity. Successful podcasters must be brave enough to share their true selves, opinions, and experiences. This courage allows them to tackle challenging topics, ask tough questions, and create compelling content that resonates with their audience. The Wizard - Revealing the Truth: The Wizard's revelation as an ordinary man behind a facade relates to a podcaster's need for transparency and honesty. Like the Wizard, podcasters should be genuine with their audience, admitting when they don't have all the answers and being open about their own learning process. This honesty builds trust and credibility with listeners. In conclusion, just as the characters in The Wizard of Oz discover that they possessed their desired qualities all along, successful podcasters often find that the key to their success lies in developing and showcasing their inherent strengths, authenticity, and passion for their chosen topics.___ https://howtopodcast.ca/ check out Dave's new blog if you like to read!

Episode 392 - 92 Beats Per Minute, Pacing Your Words When You Speak - Are Your Podcast Listeners Keeping Up With You Importance of a Listenable SpeedHaving a listenable speed when speaking in public, on stage, or in a podcast is crucial for several reasons: Speaking Too Slow : Boredom : Listeners may lose interest if the pace is too slow, as it can make the content seem dull or unengaging. Disengagement : The audience might start thinking about other things, reducing their focus on the speaker's message Speaking Too Fast : Confusion : Rapid speech can make it difficult for listeners to follow the message, leading to confusion or misunderstanding. Overwhelm : If the pace is too fast, listeners might feel overwhelmed, which can result in them tuning out or losing interest Achieving a Pleasing Speed To ensure a pleasing speed, it's essential to practice varying your pace according to the content and audience. Using pauses strategically can also enhance engagement and comprehension Recording yourself and listening back can help identify areas where your pace might need adjustment to better engage your audience Sources: https://www.vipprotocol.ca/resources/find-your-flow-the-ideal-speaking-pace https://www.voiceovers.com/blog/how-many-words-per-minute-voice-over Resource: A List of songs by beats per minute (bpm) https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~dtompkin/music/bpm/92.html ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/ check out Dave's new blog if you like to read!

E391 - Speak with Confidence - Reducing Upspeak for More Impactful Podcasting
Episode 391 - Speak with Confidence - Reducing Upspeak for More Impactful Podcasting Reducing Upspeak in Podcasting: Tips for Clearer Communication Upspeak, or uptalk, is a common speech pattern where sentences end with a rising inflection, making them sound like questions. This can undermine authority and clarity in podcasting. Here are some strategies to help you reduce your dependence on upspeak: Understanding Upspeak Definition: Upspeak involves ending sentences with a rising pitch, similar to asking a question Impact: It can make you sound uncertain or less authoritative, which is particularly important for podcasters aiming to establish credibility Techniques to Reduce Upspeak Practice Downspeak: End sentences with a falling tone: This conveys confidence and certainty. Try practicing by placing an arrow at the end of each sentence in your script to remind you to drop your tone Over-practice: Exaggerate the falling tone initially to get comfortable with it. Record and Review: Listen to your own recordings to identify instances of upspeak. Reflect on how you can improve your intonation in future episodes. Seek Feedback: Ask listeners or fellow podcasters for feedback on your speaking style. Use constructive criticism to adjust your delivery. Vocal Exercises: Engage in vocal warm-ups that help you control your pitch and tone. Practice speaking with authority by using assertive language and tone. Mindful Speech: Be aware of your speech patterns during conversations and try to adjust them in real-time. Use pauses effectively to add emphasis and clarity. Additional Tips for Podcasters Scripting: Write your script with clear sentence structures to help you maintain a consistent tone. Practice Sessions: Record practice sessions before going live to refine your delivery. Confidence Building: Work on building your confidence as a speaker. The more comfortable you are with your content, the less likely you are to use upspeak. By implementing these strategies, you can reduce your reliance on upspeak and enhance your authority and clarity as a podcaster.___ https://howtopodcast.ca/ check out Dave's new blog if you like to read!

Be A Less Annoying Dave When Hosting Your Next Podcast Guest - Daily Dave - Podcast Tips
Be A Less Annoying Dave When Hosting Your Next Podcast Guest - Daily Dave - Podcast Tips Talking over a guest with verbal affirmations is not a best practice for podcasters for several reasons: It disrupts the flow of conversation and can interrupt the guest's train of thought . This can lead to a disjointed interview and potentially cause the guest to lose their momentum or forget important points they wanted to make. Constant verbal affirmations can create unnecessary audio clutter that is difficult to edit out later . This can result in a lower quality final product and more time-consuming post-production work. Overuse of verbal affirmations can make the host appear inattentive or insincere . Instead of actively listening, the host may come across as simply waiting for their turn to speak or filling silence out of discomfort. It can make the guest feel uncomfortable or unheard . When a host frequently interrupts with affirmations, it may give the impression that they are not fully engaged with what the guest is saying. Verbal affirmations can interfere with the audience's ability to fully absorb the guest's message. Listeners may find it distracting and struggle to follow the conversation. Instead of using verbal affirmations, podcasters should practice active listening, use non-verbal cues like nodding, and allow for natural pauses in the conversation This approach creates a more engaging and professional podcast experience for both the guest and the audience. ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/ check out Dave's new blog if you like to read!

E385 - Behind the Mic Mini Series - Part 1 - How to Be Real and Relatable as a Podcaster
Episode 385 - Behind the Mic Mini Series - Part 1 - How to Be Real and Relatable as a Podcaster Likeability is crucial in podcasting because it determines whether your audience will stay engaged and return to your show. Hosts who are likeable create a stronger connection with their listeners, transforming casual audiences into loyal fans Key Aspects of Podcast LikeabilityBeing AuthenticThe most fundamental trait of a likeable podcast host is authenticity. Listeners want to hear the real you, not a manufactured persona. As one source notes, "You just being you is what makes an audience like you and makes your show memorable" Your unique quirks and genuine personality are what truly attract listeners. Emotional Connection A likeable host goes beyond just delivering content - they create an emotional experience. The key is to make your audience feel something, whether it's laughter, inspiration, or empathy. One podcast expert highlighted that "If you can make someone laugh or cry then you'll go viral" Practical Strategies for Likeability Passion and Approachability Be passionate about your content Use warm body language Smile and appear open to interaction Treat your audience as equals Storytelling Storytelling is a powerful tool for connection. A great host uses stories to persuade, influence, and engage listeners at a deeper level By sharing personal narratives, you make your content more relatable and memorable. The Impact of Likeability Research suggests that likeability isn't just a nice-to-have - it's fundamental to success. Without likability, podcasters will struggle to get their voice heard, which can limit both personal and professional opportunities Interestingly, even technical aspects like audio quality can influence perceived likeability. A 2018 study found that poor audio can make listeners perceive a speaker as less intelligent and less likable Remember: Your audience comes for the content, but they stay because of you - the host. Your warmth, authenticity, and ability to connect will transform listeners into a loyal community.

E384 - A Lesson, A Story and Why You Should Include Both in Your Next Podcast Episode
Episode 384 - A Lesson, A Story and Why You Should Include Both in Your Next Podcast Episode The idea that we should share a lesson without a story and not share a story without a lesson highlights the importance of integrating meaningful educational content into narratives. This concept is particularly relevant in podcasting, where storytelling is a powerful tool for engaging audiences and conveying information. Here's how this principle applies to podcasting, along with practical thoughts on the interplay between lessons and stories: Lessons Without Stories In podcasting, a lesson without a story can be delivered through informative content that focuses on conveying information directly. Stories Without Lessons Sharing a story without a lesson can be entertaining but lacks depth and educational value. Interplay Between Lessons and Stories The most effective podcasts often combine both lessons and stories to create engaging and educational content. Here’s how this interplay works: Engagement : Stories make lessons more engaging and memorable. By embedding educational content within a narrative, podcasts can capture listeners' attention and retain it more effectively. Emotional Connection : Stories create an emotional connection with the audience, making the lessons more relatable and impactful. This connection enhances the learning experience and encourages listeners to reflect on the information presented. Contextualization : Stories provide context for lessons, helping listeners understand the relevance and application of the information. This contextualization makes the content more accessible and applicable to real-life situations. Retention : When lessons are presented through stories, they are more likely to be remembered. The narrative structure helps listeners recall key points and insights more effectively than dry, factual presentations. Practical Thoughts for Podcasting Plan Your Content : Before recording, plan how you will integrate lessons into your stories. Consider what educational points you want to convey and how they can be naturally woven into the narrative. Use Mentor Podcasts : Listen to podcasts that effectively combine lessons and stories, such as Radiolab or Hidden Brain . Analyze how they structure their content to engage and educate listeners. Engage Your Audience : Encourage interaction by asking questions or inviting feedback. This can help reinforce the lessons and make the storytelling more participatory. Reflect and Adapt : After each episode, reflect on how effectively you conveyed the lessons through your stories. Use feedback to adapt your approach for future episodes. By integrating lessons into

E382 - The Podcast Editing and Support Show - Hiring Podcast Support Based on Fit
Episode 382 - The Podcast Editing and Support Show - Hiring Podcast Support Based on Fit When hiring a podcast team, fit is indeed a crucial factor that can make or break the success of your show. Just as in a band, the chemistry and cohesion of your podcast team can significantly impact the quality of your output and the overall experience of creating content. Importance of Fit in Podcast Team Selection Beyond Technical Skills While technical proficiency is essential, it's not the sole determining factor. A podcast producer should possess a combination of technical skills, creative mindset, and strong communication abilities 1 . However, these skills must be balanced with their ability to integrate well with your existing team and work culture. Cultural Alignment Look for team members whose values and work ethic align with your podcast's mission and style. This alignment ensures that everyone is working towards the same goals and can collaborate effectively Personality and Teamwork Consider how potential team members interact during the interview process. Are they good listeners? Do they show respect for others' ideas? These traits are crucial for maintaining a positive and productive work environment, especially in the collaborative nature of podcast production Assessing Fit During Recruitment Practical Tests Incorporate hands-on assessments into your hiring process. For example, have candidates edit a short audio clip or propose ideas for episode topics. This approach not only evaluates their technical skills but also gives insight into their creative process and how they handle feedback Behavioral Interviews Use behavioral interview questions to understand how candidates handle pressure, collaborate with others, and respond to feedback. These insights are crucial for determining how they might perform in your team's specific environment Trial Periods Consider implementing trial periods or project-based assignments before making a full-time commitment. This allows you to assess how well the candidate integrates with your team and workflow Building a Cohesive Team Clear Expectations Set clear roles, responsibilities, and expectations for each team member. This clarity helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures everyone knows their part in the podcast production process Fostering Collaboration Create an environment that encourages open communication and idea-sharing. This collaborative culture can lead to innovative content and a more enjoyable work experience for all team members Continuous Feedback Regularly check in with your team members to ensure they're feeling fulfilled in their roles and to address any concerns promptly. This ongoing communication helps maintain a positive team dynamic and allows for a

Here's how podcasters can prepare for the shift towards large language model searches: SEO vs GEO: Key Differences Focus and Target SEO targets traditional search engines like Google, optimizing for keyword-based rankings. GEO focuses on AI-driven platforms like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, prioritizing conversational and contextual content. Content Structure SEO relies on keyword optimization and technical factors like meta tags and backlinks. GEO emphasizes creating high-quality, authoritative content that AI can easily synthesize and integrate into comprehensive answers. User Intent SEO matches keywords to user queries. GEO anticipates user intent more accurately, providing nuanced and contextually relevant responses. Strategies for Podcasters in the GEO Era Optimize Transcripts : Create detailed, well-structured transcripts of your podcast episodes. This text-based content is crucial for AI systems to understand and reference your material. Enhance Show Notes : Develop comprehensive show notes that include key points, quotes, and timestamps. This structured information helps AI engines quickly extract relevant content. Create Companion Blog Posts : Write in-depth articles that expand on podcast topics, providing additional context and information that AI can use to generate responses. Use Clear, Conversational Language : Craft content in a natural, conversational tone that aligns with how people ask questions to AI assistants. Incorporate Authoritative Sources : Include citations, statistics, and references from reputable sources to boost the credibility of your content in AI-generated responses. Structured Data Markup : Implement schema markup to help AI systems better understand the context and structure of your podcast content. Focus on Episodic Themes : Organize your podcast content around clear themes or topics, making it easier for AI to categorize and retrieve relevant information. What Remains the Same Quality Content : Both SEO and GEO prioritize high-quality, valuable content. User Experience : The ultimate goal is still to provide useful information to your audience. Continuous Adaptation : Both strategies require ongoing adjustments to align with evolving technologies and user behaviors. <

E370 - From Imposter to Innovator - Harnessing Self-Doubt for Podcast Success
Episode 370 - From Imposter to Innovator - Harnessing Self-Doubt for Podcast Success Reframing imposter syndrome as a tool for growth and innovation Imposter syndrome, often seen as a hindrance, can be transformed into a powerful catalyst for growth and innovation in podcasting. Natalie Dawson, co-founder of Cardone Ventures, exemplifies this transformation. At 23, she found herself in a high-level leadership position, feeling like an imposter. However, she turned this self-doubt into a driving force for continuous learning and improvement. Tackle unfamiliar territory with relentless curiosity, encouraging her team to do the same. Using self-doubt as motivation for thorough research and preparation Self-doubt can serve as a powerful motivator for meticulous research and preparation. Adam Grant, a Wharton professor, suggests that "feeling uncertainty is a precursor to growth" This uncertainty can drive podcasters to delve deeper into their topics, ensuring they're well-prepared for each episode. For instance, the host of "The Impostor Syndrome Files" podcast, Kim Meninger, uses her personal experiences with imposter syndrome to thoroughly research and prepare for interviews with professionals from various backgrounds, creating a space for authentic discussions about self-doubt Embracing vulnerability to connect more deeply with your audience Vulnerability in podcasting can forge stronger connections with listeners. Brendon Burchard, a high-performance coach, emphasizes the importance of being intentional about who you want to be every day and adopting a learning perspective rather than a judgmental one This approach allows podcasters to share personal stories and challenges, inviting listeners to engage on a deeper, more personal level. For example, in "The Mindset Mentor" podcast, the host tackles self-doubt by sharing personal experiences and strategies, creating a relatable and supportive environment for listeners Strategies for turning perceived weaknesses into unique podcast strengths Perceived weaknesses can be transformed into unique strengths that set a podcast apart. Kate Leto, a product management expert, suggests using a "product mindset" to address imposter syndrome This approach involves challenging negative thoughts with questions like "Is it true?" and "Can you absolutely know that it's true?" By applying this method to podcasting, creators can turn their self-doubt into a unique perspective that resonates with listeners who may be experiencing similar feelings. To further strengthen connections with listeners, podcasters can engage beyond the episode by actively participating in social media discussions, valuing and acting on feedback, and organizing listener-centric events such as live Q&A sessions or virtual meet-ups These strategies not only address self-doubt but also create a supportive community around the podcast, turning perceived wea

E369 - Silencing the Inner Critic - Strategies to Overcome Imposter Syndrome in Podcasting
Episode 369 - Silencing the Inner Critic - Strategies to Overcome Imposter Syndrome in Podcasting Reframing Negative Self-Talk Imposter syndrome can plague even the most successful podcasters, manifesting as a persistent inner critic that undermines confidence. Start by recognizing when your inner critic speaks up. For instance, you might catch yourself thinking, "My podcast isn't as good as others in my niche." Once identified, challenge this thought by examining the evidence. Have you received positive feedback from listeners? Has your audience grown? Use these facts to construct a more balanced perspective Reframe Negative Beliefs: Transform self-defeating thoughts into more constructive ones. Instead of "I'm not qualified to discuss this topic," try "I'm continuously learning and sharing valuable insights with my audience." This reframing acknowledges your growth and the value you provide Practice Self-Compassion: "It's okay to make mistakes; they're part of the learning process. I'll do better next time." Building a Support Network within the Podcasting Community Overcoming imposter syndrome becomes easier when you're not facing it alone. The podcasting community offers numerous opportunities for connection and support Engage in Podcast Guest Exchanges: Participate in guest exchanges with other podcasters. This not only expands your network but also provides validation of your expertise. For example, being invited as a guest on an established podcast in your niche can boost your confidence and credibility Join Online Communities: Seek out podcasting groups on platforms. Share your experiences, ask for advice, and offer support to others. You might find that many successful podcasters have faced similar doubts, which can be incredibly reassuring Attend Podcasting Events: Whether virtual or in-person, industry events provide opportunities to connect with fellow podcasters. Sharing experiences and challenges can help normalize your feelings of self-doubt and provide practical strategies for overcoming them Developing a Growth Mindset for Continuous Improvement Adopting a growth mindset is crucial for combating imposter syndrome and fostering long-term success in podcasting Embrace Challenges: Instead of avoiding difficult topics or high-profile guests out of fear, see these as opportunities for growth. For instance, if you're nervous about interviewing an industry expert, prepare thoroughly and focus on the learning opportunity rather than potential mistakes Learn from Feedback Celebrate Small Wins Practical Exercises to Boost Confidence and Authenticity in Your Podcast Implementing specific exercises can help solidify your confidence and authenticity, making imposter syndrome less likely to take hold Practice Positive Self-Talk: Before each recording session, take a moment for positive affirmations.

E368 - Measuring the Doubt - Quantifying Imposter Syndrome's Impact on Your Podcast
Episode 368 - Measuring the Doubt - Quantifying Imposter Syndrome's Impact on Your Podcast Tools and Methods to Gauge the Severity of Imposter Syndrome Imposter syndrome can significantly impact podcasters, but quantifying its effects can help in addressing and overcoming it. One effective method is journaling. By regularly documenting your thoughts and feelings before, during, and after podcast recording sessions, you can track patterns in your self-doubt For example, a podcaster might notice that their anxiety peaks just before interviewing high-profile guests, indicating a specific trigger for their imposter syndrome. Another tool is the use of self-assessment questionnaires. These can include questions like "How confident do you feel about your podcast content on a scale of 1-10?" or "How often do you feel like a fraud when discussing your podcast topic?" Tracking these responses over time can provide valuable insights into the fluctuations of your imposter syndrome. Impact on Podcast Production and Performance Imposter syndrome can have a tangible effect on your podcast's quality and your performance as a host. One podcaster shared how their self-doubt led them to over-prepare for episodes, spending hours researching topics they were already knowledgeable about, which ultimately led to burnout This excessive preparation stemmed from a fear of being exposed as a fraud.Another common impact is the hesitation to reach out to potential guests. A podcaster might avoid inviting experts in their field, fearing they're not qualified to interview them. This self-imposed limitation can significantly restrict the podcast's growth and diversity of content Analyzing Listener Feedback and Its Relation to Self-Doubt Listener feedback can be a double-edged sword for those experiencing imposter syndrome. Positive comments might be dismissed as listeners being "too kind" or "not understanding the full picture." Conversely, constructive criticism might be overblown in the podcaster's mind, confirming their worst fears about their abilities To address this, try creating a feedback log. Document both positive and negative feedback, and analyze it objectively. For instance, if multiple listeners praise your interviewing skills, it's concrete evidence against your self-doubt in that area. This method helps separate fact from the distorted perceptions often associated with imposter syndrome. Tracking Progress and Setting Benchmarks for Improvement Setting clear, measurable goals is crucial in combating imposter syndrome. Instead of vague aspirations like "become a better podcaster," establish specific, achievable benchmarks. For example, aim to increase your speaking pace by 10% over three months or reduce filler words by 50% in six episodes Use audio editing software to track these metrics objectively. This data-driven approach provides tangible evidence of

E367 - Unmasking the Imposter - Identifying Imposter Syndrome in Podcasting
Episode 367 - Unmasking the Imposter - Identifying Imposter Syndrome in Podcasting Imposter syndrome is a common experience among high achievers, affecting over 70% of professionals at some point in their careers In the world of podcasting, this phenomenon is particularly prevalent, impacting both newcomers and seasoned hosts alike.Consider the story of Jeff, a successful podcaster with over 250 episodes under his belt. Despite receiving accolades from fellow podcasters at conferences, Jeff would often downplay his achievements, attributing his success to luck or good timing. Even as he interviewed high-profile guests, he'd find himself questioning how he got there, feeling like a fraud despite clear evidence of his accomplishments Common Signs and Symptoms Specific to Podcasters Self-doubt and Perfectionism Podcasters experiencing imposter syndrome often exhibit perfectionist tendencies, spending excessive time editing their shows or obsessing over minor details. They may feel that their work is never good enough, regardless of positive feedback from listeners. Comparison and Self-criticism Many podcasters fall into the trap of comparing themselves unfavorably to their guests or other podcasters. This can lead to harsh self-criticism and a belief that they're not qualified to host their show. Fear of Being "Discovered" There's a persistent worry among those with imposter syndrome that they'll be "found out" as frauds. For podcasters, this might manifest as anxiety about listeners realizing they're not as knowledgeable or skilled as they appear Self-assessment Techniques for Listeners The Harvey Imposter Scale (HIPS) Listeners can use the HIPS, a 14-item questionnaire, to assess their level of imposter feelings. Questions include statements like "People tend to believe I am more competent than I really am" and "I tend to feel like a phony" Reflection Exercises Encourage listeners to reflect on their achievements and the positive feedback they've received. Keeping a "praise folder" with screenshots or notes of compliments can serve as a tangible reminder of their capabilities Mindfulness Practices Implementing mindfulness techniques can help podcasters become more aware of their negative self-talk and imposter thoughts, allowing them to challenge these beliefs more effectively. By understanding the prevalence of imposter syndrome in podcasting and learning to recognize its signs, podcasters can take the first step towards overcoming these feelings and embracing their true potential.

E366 - Do What You Can, With What You Have, Where You Are As A Podcaster
Episode 366 - Do What You Can, With What You Have, Where You Are As A Podcaster Theodore Roosevelt's quote "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are" offers valuable guidance for podcasters struggling with imposter syndrome. Here's how this wisdom applies to podcasting: Do What You Can As a podcaster, focus on creating content with your current skills and knowledge. Don't let perfectionism or comparisons hold you back. Start by recording episodes, even if they're not flawless. Many successful podcasters admit their first episodes weren't great, but they improved over time 2 . Remember, your unique perspective is valuable, and your audience will appreciate your authenticity. With What You Have You don't need expensive equipment or a large network to start podcasting. Use the tools and resources available to you now. This could be your smartphone for recording, free editing software, or your existing knowledge on a topic. As Juliana Barbati, a top 0.5% podcaster, advises, "Your first episode isn't going to be amazing," but the key is to keep going Where You Are Your current situation is your starting point. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, embrace your present reality. Podcasting is a journey, and every episode is an opportunity to grow and improve. As Kim Meninger's podcast "The Impostor Syndrome Files" demonstrates, sharing your experiences with imposter syndrome can even become the focus of your content, helping others who face similar challenges Remember, imposter syndrome is a common experience among creatives and professionals 1 3. By taking action and focusing on what you can control, you'll gradually build confidence and overcome self-doubt. As you continue to produce content and engage with your audience, you'll develop your unique voice and find your place in the podcasting world. ___ Meet with Dave for a free consult to help you with your podcast https://calendly.com/truemediasolutions/free-podcast-consult-for-how-to-podcast-listeners ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

Episode 365 - CO-HOST - Dennis Meador - Hiring A Podcast Team, Understanding Your Digital Language and Show Tone Dennis Meador is a bit of an outlier. Starting his first company at 14 years old, he has been an entrepreneur for the majority of his life. In his early 20s he discovered what he really loved about being an entrepreneur was working with other businesess, and that ultimately led to years working with attorneys. He spent the next 20 years in that capacity helping attorneys grow their practices and advising them in other areas. About a year ago, the idea of The Legal Podcast Network came to him. The more this idea blossomed in his mind, the more excited he got about it. As he talked to attorneys, he consistently heard, “Do you guys do podcasts?” Once he fully formed everything in his head, he decided late 23 to launch what he had envisioned. One of the things Dennis sees as important for attorneys, especially those in smaller practices, is the establishment of authority. To get ahead they must not become another run-of-the-mill attorney with generic content and verbiage enables our attorneys to show people their expertise and how they can help them. This puts them in a better position to win the client that fits their ideal profile. https://www.thelegalpodcastnetwork.com/ ___ Meet with Dave for a free consult to help you with your podcast https://calendly.com/truemediasolutions/free-podcast-consult-for-how-to-podcast-listeners ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

Branding Elements: Are there consistent audio cues or music that define the show? Call-to-Action: Is there a prompt for listeners to subscribe or follow the show? Episode Number/Season: Is the current episode or season number stated? Length Indication: Is there a hint about the episode's duration? Guest Introduction: If applicable, is the guest for this episode introduced? While it's challenging to include all these elements in just 30 seconds, the most crucial aspects (show name, host, and topic) should be prioritized.

E363 - Be Your Own Algorithm, Taking Control of Your Podcast's Discoverability
Episode 363 - Be Your Own Algorithm, Taking Control of Your Podcast's Discoverability The idea that "as a podcaster, we are our own algorithm" is a powerful shift in mindset that can significantly impact a podcast's growth and success. Here are some key thoughts around this concept: Proactive Approach: Instead of passively waiting for listeners to discover your podcast, take an active role in making your content visible and accessible. Personal Brand Building: Your presence online and offline becomes an extension of your podcast. Cultivate a personal brand that aligns with your podcast's message and values. Strategic Social Media Presence: Use social media platforms strategically to showcase your expertise, share snippets of your content, and engage with potential listeners. Each platform may require a different approach. Community Engagement: Actively participate in communities (online and offline) where your potential listeners gather. This could be forums, social media groups, or local meetups related to your podcast's niche. Networking: Connect with other podcasters, industry experts, and influencers in your field. Collaborations and cross-promotions can expose your podcast to new audiences. Content Repurposing: Transform your podcast content into blog posts, social media updates, YouTube videos, or newsletters to increase your discoverability across different platforms. SEO for Podcasts: Optimize your podcast titles, descriptions, and show notes for search engines to improve your chances of being found through organic searches. Real-World Presence: Attend or speak at events related to your podcast's topic. This face-to-face interaction can create strong connections with potential listeners. Consistency in Messaging: Ensure that your message and brand are consistent across all platforms and interactions, reinforcing your podcast's identity. Value-First Approach: Focus on providing value in every interaction, whether it's a social media post, a networking event, or a guest appearance on another podcast. By embracing the role of being your own algorithm, you take control of your podcast's discoverability and growth, rather than relying solely on platform algorithms or chance discoveries.___Meet with Dave for a free consult to help you with your podcast https://calendly.com/truemediasolutions/free-podcast-consult-for-how-to-podcast-listeners ___<a href="https://howtopodcast.ca/" targe

Jonnie, a Canadian, hosts and produces "Refuge Freedom Stories," a podcast featuring inspiring stories of personal transformation, including interviews with individuals from various backgrounds. Building Community in Podcasting Industry David and Jonnie discussed the importance of building a community within the podcasting industry. They agreed that connecting with other podcasters is crucial for sharing experiences, learning from each other, and finding support. David highlighted the need for podcasters to feel less alone in the industry, suggesting that building relationships with fellow podcasters could help achieve this. They also touched on the topic of listeners tuning in for the personality of the host rather than the content, emphasizing the need for podcasters to connect with each other on a personal level. Podcasting Integrity and Community Building Jonnie emphasized the importance of integrity in podcasting, stating that authenticity and genuine passion for the work are crucial for success. He also highlighted the significance of building a podcast community, using PodMatch as an example. David agreed, sharing his positive experiences with PodMatch and his admiration for Alex Sanfilippo. Defining Integrity in Personal Life In the meeting, Jonnie and David discussed their personal definitions of integrity. Jonnie, a Christian, defined integrity as reflecting Christ in everything he does, being honest with his listeners, and respecting his guests and listeners. He emphasized the importance of consistency and authenticity. David, on the other hand, defined integrity as being the same all the way through, with nothing fake about a person. He used the analogy of a tree with integrity, contrasting it with cheap furniture. Both agreed on the importance of authenticity and consistency in their personal and professional lives. Improving Podcasting Workflow and Skills Jonnie discusses ways to improve his podcasting skills and workflow. He recently switched to Riverside for editing, which allows text-based editing and creates transcripts. However, he still uses GarageBand for final audio editing.

Episode 359 - How Can I Make My Podcast Better in 2025 - Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Who is the Best Podcaster of them All Listeners may stop tuning into podcasts for a variety of reasons, often related to content quality, presentation style, and personal preferences. Here are the top reasons that can lead to a listener moving on from a podcast: Content Quality Issues Stale or Uninteresting Topics : If the content becomes repetitive or fails to engage, listeners may lose interest. For instance, a podcast that initially covers intriguing topics might become boring if it shifts to less engaging subjects over time 1 4 . Lack of Research : When hosts fail to adequately prepare or research their topics, it can lead to inaccuracies and uninformed discussions, prompting listeners to disengage Presentation Style Poor Audio Quality : Listeners are likely to abandon podcasts with muffled audio or inconsistent volume levels. High-quality sound is essential for maintaining listener engagement 2 4 . Excessive Advertisements : Overloading episodes with ads can disrupt the listening experience and frustrate audiences, leading them to seek less commercialized alternatives 2 3 . Long Intros and Tangents : Prolonged introductions or irrelevant personal anecdotes can bore listeners. They prefer concise content that gets straight to the point Host Dynamics Annoying Host Behavior : Listeners may be turned off by hosts who dominate conversations, fail to engage guests, or exhibit unprofessional behavior. This includes overly self-promotional attitudes or condescending tones 2 3 . Dislikable Hosts : If the host develops a persona that listeners find unlikable or if they express controversial opinions that alienate parts of their audience, this can lead to unsubscribing

Episode 357 - Unlocking Podcast Success - Capture Attention, Spark Interest, Ignite Desire, and Drive Action with Powerful Episode Titles Adapting the AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) principle from journalism to podcast episode titles can significantly enhance their effectiveness. Here's how you can apply AIDA to create compelling podcast episode titles:Attention Use power words : Incorporate attention-grabbing words like "exclusive," "breaking," or "shocking" to immediately capture interest. Ask intriguing questions : Start with a thought-provoking question that relates to your episode content. Employ numbers : Begin titles with numbers to suggest a structured, easy-to-digest format. Example: "5 Shocking Truths About Sleep You Never Knew" Interest Highlight unique angles : Present your topic from an unexpected or novel perspective. Incorporate current trends : Reference popular topics or current events to make your content feel timely and relevant. Use descriptive language : Choose vivid, specific words that paint a clear picture of what listeners can expect. Example: "The Hidden Link Between Coffee and Productivity: A Deep Dive" Desire Address pain points : Mention common problems or challenges your audience faces. Promise benefits : Clearly state what value listeners will gain from the episode. Create FOMO : Suggest exclusive or time-sensitive information to create a sense of urgency. Example: "Master Public Speaking in 30 Minutes: Career-Changing Tips from a TED Talk Coach" Action Use action verbs : Begin or end your title with strong verbs that encourage listening. Imply immediacy : Suggest that the information is something listeners can apply right away. Create a sense of exclusivity : Make listeners feel they're part of a select group by tuning in. Example: "Transform Your Finances Today: Insider Secrets from Wall Street" By applying these AIDA principles to your podcast episode titles, you can create more engaging, click-worthy titles that attract listeners and give them a compelling reason to tune in.

E355 - Proper Microphone Technique to Reduce Plosives and Sibilance Issues for Your Podcast
Episode 355 - Proper Microphone Technique to Reduce Plosives and Sibilance Issues for Your Podcast Here are four steps to help reduce plosives and sibilance when recording vocals, which can improve the quality of audio for podcasts, voiceovers, or vocal recordings: 1. Use a Windscreen or Pop Shield A foam windscreen or pop shield is an effective, affordable tool to prevent plosives (e.g., hard "P" sounds) and sibilance (e.g., sharp "S" sounds). Foam windscreens fit directly over the microphone, reducing plosives significantly but may slightly reduce high frequencies. A pop shield is a fine mesh screen placed in front of the microphone. It reduces plosives while retaining more high frequencies than a foam windscreen. 2. Increase Distance from the Microphone Moving a few inches away from the microphone can help reduce the impact of plosives and sibilance. Close proximity emphasizes low-frequency plosives, so maintaining some distance can mitigate this effect. This technique works especially well for condenser microphones but may be less effective for certain dynamic mics, which often sound best at close range. 3. Adjust Pronunciation of Plosives Encourage the speaker to consciously soften plosive sounds, such as "P" or "B." For example, they can say "plosive" more gently to avoid a burst of air hitting the microphone. This subtle change in articulation can minimize the plosive effect naturally. 4. Angle the Microphone Off-Axis Turn the microphone slightly away from the speaker’s mouth, either to the side, up toward the nose, or down toward the chest. This can help reduce high frequencies and control sharp “S” sounds. Be cautious with dynamic microphones, as they may not handle off-axis positioning as well as condenser microphones, potentially altering the sound quality. Condenser Microphones are more sensitive and capture a wider frequency range, making them ideal for studio recording where detail and nuance are important. They require external power (like phantom power) to operate and are typically more delicate, so they’re better suited for controlled environments. A condenser microphone is commonly used for recording vocals in a music studio . Its sensitivity captures the nuances of a singer's voice, making it ideal for creating rich, detailed audio in controlled environments. A well-known condenser mic for this purpose is the Neumann U87. Dynamic Microphones are more rugged and handle loud sounds well, making them ideal for live performances or noisy environments. They don’t require external power and are generally less sensitive to subtle sound details, but they excel at capturing strong, foc

The podcasting industry belongs to us all, not just the elite and it doesn't matter how long you've been in the industry, your voice is valuable.

E337 - Podcast Spotlight - Lead With Confidence with host Desiree Petrich - NaPodPoMo
Episode 337 - Podcast Spotlight - Lead With Confidence with host Desiree Petrich - NaPodPoMo Here’s the short version for any crazy busy people ! Hi! I’m Desiree Petrich, a best-selling author, speaker, corporate coach and trainer, and the host of the Lead With Confidence Podcast. I founded my company Intentional Action in 2022 after losing my mom unexpectedly just two months after bringing my son home from the NICU. My company, Intentional Action is a leadership development company dedicated to unlocking the full potential of individuals and teams. With a diverse range of services including teambuilding activities and retreats, emerging leader programs, high-level masterminds, workshops, keynotes, and breakout sessions, we empower organizations to cultivate strong cultures with strong leadership at the forefront. Whether you’re looking to instill confidence in your emerging leaders or build a team around trust and a common goal, we ensure tailored solutions that will have your team excited to learn and grow together. John Wooden says that when a crisis comes it’s too late to prepare. This advice saved my life. On 2/22/22, my son was born during the middle of a Minnesota blizzard, and had to be kept alive for 15 hours by nurses and doctors who were willing to do anything they could to make up for the equipment they did not have. He then spent four weeks in the NICU before he finally got to meet his big sister. During the four weeks I spent away from home, I had a choice to make. I could continue to read the personal development books I had on my list to complete my fourth year of 75 books, or I could watch TV. I could sit on the same couch day after day, or I could take a few walks and sit on the floor of the NICU and stretch like I had every night for the last 3 years. I could spiral into thoughts of being scared and stressed, or I could put my faith in the process and be optimistic of the outcome of the things I couldn’t control, while I controlled the things that I could. I wish my story of overcoming hard times ended there … 24 hours after we brought my son home from the NICU, I got the call that my mom had had a stroke at work, and was being flown to the hospital. We packed up my 4 week old, and my 2 year old, and we drove 3 hours to the hospital. That night was one of only three times I got to see my mom before she passed away two months later. COVID restrictions were seemingly gone in the “regular world”, but in the hospital world, they were still as strong as ever. Again, I could have let this break me. I could have let grief and anger dictate how I was going to proceed. But I will tell anyone who will listen that personal development saved my life. https://intentionalaction.

Created by Jennifer Navarrete as an answer for an audio version to other 30 day challenges happening in the month of November. NaPodPoMo is a month long event along the same vein as National Novel Writing Month aka NaNoWriMo. The difference? Well, instead of writing a 50,000 word novel, you podcast every day for 30 days from November 1st-30th. Use any platform you desire. From full production studio to iPhone app and just about anything in between. The goal of NaPodPoMo is to use the challenge of podcasting daily as a form of podcasting bootcamp. For some, NaPodPoMo may be their first foray into podcasting. For others, it is a chance to try out a new platform or start another show. There are no hard and fast rules as to how you do this. If on November 30th you have recorded 30 shows, then you win. https://napodpomo.org/ ___ Meet with Dave for a free consult to help you with your podcast https://calendly.com/truemediasolutions/free-podcast-consult-for-how-to-podcast-listeners ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

Example: “With over 10 years in the industry, I’ve worked with startups to Fortune 500 companies.” Include Notable Achievements : If applicable, mention any awards, recognitions, or publications that lend credibility. Example: “I was named one of the top 30 marketers to watch by Marketing Magazine last year.” Be Personal and Approachable : Share something relatable about yourself to create a connection. Example: “When I’m not strategizing marketing campaigns, you can find me hiking with my dog or experimenting with new recipes.” End with Enthusiasm : Conclude your introduction with excitement about the conversation ahead. Example: “I’m thrilled to be here and can’t wait to dive into today’s topic!” Structure for Podcast Introductions When introducing yourself on a podcast, consider this structure: Greeting : Start with a friendly hello. Your Name and Role : Clearly state who you are and what you do. Key Highlights : Mention your experience and achievements succinctly. Personal Touch : Add a relatable fact about yourself. Transition to the Topic : Express enthusiasm for the discussion. Example Introduction “Hi everyone! I’m [Your Name], a digital marketing strategist with over 10 years of experience helping brands connect with their audiences. I was recently featured in Marketing Magazine as one of the top marketers to watch. Outside of work, I love hiking and trying out new recipes.

E315 - How Self-Absorption Stifles Podcasting - Addressing the Challenges of Ego in Podcasting
Episode 315 - How Self-Absorption Stifles Podcasting - Addressing the Challenges of Ego in Podcasting The issue of self-absorption in podcasting has indeed become a significant concern, potentially stifling content creation and community building. This trend mirrors broader issues seen in social media and content creation in general. Impact of Self-Absorption on Content Creation Self-absorption can negatively impact podcast content creation in several ways: Narrow Focus : When podcasters become overly focused on themselves, they may lose sight of their audience's needs and interests. This can lead to content that fails to resonate with listeners Lack of Empathy : Self-absorbed creators often struggle to connect with their audience on a deeper level. This lack of empathy can result in content that feels disconnected or inauthentic Reduced Collaboration : An inflated ego can make podcasters less likely to collaborate with others, limiting the diversity of perspectives and ideas in their content The Shift from Community Building to Self-Promotion The podcasting landscape has seen a noticeable shift towards self-promotion, which can be detrimental to community building: Focus on Vanity Metrics : Many podcasters become fixated on download numbers, rankings, and awards, often at the expense of creating meaningful content and fostering genuine connections with their audience Uneven Recognition : The podcast industry's tendency to celebrate a small percentage of highly successful shows can lead to frustration and demotivation among the vast majority of podcasters who don't achieve similar levels of fame or financial success The Impact of Inflated Egos on Podcasting Inflated egos have affected the podcasting ecosystem in several ways: Unrealistic Expectations : Many new podcasters enter the field with inflated expectations of quick success, leading to disappointment and potentially abandoning their shows prematurely. Quality vs. Quantity : The drive for recognition can push some podcasters to prioritize quantity over quality, resulting in a flood of content that may not add significant value to listeners. Neglect of Niche Audiences : The focus on achieving broad appeal can lead podcasters to neglect smaller, dedicated niche audiences who might benefit most from their content. Addressing the IssueTo combat these challenges, podcasters should consider: Refocusing on Audience Needs : Prioritize creating content that genuinely serves and engages your audience, rather than solely promoting yourself. Building Authentic Connections : Foster real relationships with listeners through genuine interaction and community building efforts. Embracing Collaborati

E314 - Are Podcasters Ditching Social Media, Exploring Alternatives for Community Engagement in 2024
Episode 314 - Are Podcasters Ditching Social Media? Exploring Alternatives for Community Engagement in 2024 In 2024, there's indeed a growing trend of podcasters reassessing their relationship with social media platforms. This shift is driven by several factors, including concerns about return on investment (ROI) and a desire for more control over audience engagement. Declining ROI on Social Media Podcasters are finding that the time and effort invested in social media platforms may not be yielding the expected returns. The ROI for social media efforts has become increasingly difficult to measure and justify: Organic reach on platforms like Facebook and Instagram has significantly decreased, with only a small fraction of content being shown to followers without paid promotion The constant need to create platform-specific content is time-consuming and often doesn't directly translate to podcast listenership growth. Push for Community Building Off Social Platforms Many podcasters are now focusing on building communities and fostering engagement outside of traditional social media: Email newsletters are seeing a resurgence as a way to directly communicate with listeners. Dedicated community platforms like Discord or Slack are being used to create more intimate and engaged listener groups. Podcasters are investing in their own websites and forums to host discussions and interact with their audience Alternatives to Traditional Social Platforms As podcasters seek alternatives, several options are gaining traction: Podcast-specific platforms : Apps and websites designed specifically for podcast discovery and community building are emerging. Niche social networks : Smaller, topic-focused social platforms that align closely with podcast themes are becoming popular. Direct messaging apps : Platforms like WhatsApp or Telegram are being used to create more personal connections with listeners. Live streaming : Platforms like Twitch or YouTube Live are being utilized for real-time interaction with audiences. The Changing Landscape of Social Media in 2024 While social media hasn't lost all its attraction, its role in podcasters' strategies is evolving: There's a growing emphasis on quality over quantity in social media content. Podcasters are becoming more selective about which platforms they use, focusing on those that align best with their audience and goals. The "pay-to-play" model of social media is pushing some podcasters to explore organic growth strategies elsewhere Impact on Podcast Marketing This shift is changing how podcasters approach marketing: More focus is being placed on search engine optimization (SEO) fo

E313 - Navigating Podcast Guesting - Benefits and Drawbacks of Working with Booking Agencies for Hosts and Guests
Episode 313 - Navigating Podcast Guesting - Benefits and Drawbacks of Working with Booking Agencies for Hosts and Guests Guesting agencies help guests find great shows and when a great releationship between potential guest, guesting agency and podcast host exists a guesting agency is very helpful for all involved. The downside can be for podcast hosts that do not benefit financially from this interaction and this can be a bit unfair. Interested to hear of any downside for a guest working with an agency and a recap of the pros and cons in regards to working with a podcast guesting agency from the perspective of a guest and the host of a podcast Podcast guesting agencies play a significant role in connecting guests with podcast hosts, but their impact varies for different parties involved. Let's examine the benefits and potential drawbacks for both podcasters and guests. Benefits for Podcasters Quality Guest Selection : Guesting agencies often have access to a wide pool of potential guests, including experts and thought leaders in various fields. This can help podcasters secure high-quality guests who might otherwise be difficult to reach. Time-Saving : By working with agencies, podcasters can reduce the time and effort spent on guest outreach and scheduling. This allows them to focus more on content creation and production. Consistent Content Flow : Agencies can help ensure a steady stream of guests, which is crucial for maintaining a regular publishing schedule Drawbacks for Podcasters Lack of Financial Compensation : One significant downside is that podcasters typically don't receive financial compensation from these arrangements, despite providing a platform for guests to promote themselves or their businesses Potential Mismatch : There's a risk of receiving guests who may not align perfectly with the podcast's audience or theme, especially if the agency prioritizes quantity over quality Loss of Personal Touch : Relying heavily on agencies might lead to less personalized guest selection and reduce direct relationships between hosts and guests Benefits for Guests Increased Exposure : Guesting agencies can help secure appearances on relevant podcasts, expanding the guest's reach and visibility. Time Efficiency : Guests can save considerable time and effort by outsourcing the process of finding and securing podcast appearances. Professional Representation : Agencies can present guests in the best possible light, crafting compelling pitches and managing the booking process professionally Potential Drawbacks for Guests Cost : The primary downside for guests is the cost associated with hiring a guesting agency, which can be substantial Less Control : Guests ma

Being a psychotherapist means I encounter loads of really interesting ways of looking at life. Granted, it’s often ways of looking at life’s struggles… but anyway, it occurred to me one day that if I could find a way to share some of them it might be interesting for other people. And though may be helpful, it is not intended to be a substitute for therapy. There is no shortcut to the valuable work that goes on in the consulting room.

E309 - Transform Your Podcast - 5 Strategies to Turn Listeners into Engaged Community Members
Episode 309 - Transform Your Podcast - 5 Strategies to Turn Listeners into Engaged Community Members Chris Brogan likes to say that the difference between an audience and a community is, which direction the chairs are facing. The chairs had been turned to face each other and the experience was richer for it. Your podcast like all podcasts is largely a one-to-many Affair. On a virtual live event is a great opportunity for you to rethink that relationship entirely break the fourth wall and invite your audience in to co-create the experience. Letting in those listeners who want to be a part of the show whenever possible is always good advice whether for an event or the Regular Show. Even people who would never call the request line at a radio station like to know that it's at least possible. Acknowledging your audience as integral to the show and its content is something you really can't do enough of Some people will take you up on it and some won't, but it will mean something to almost all of them. Chris Brogan's insight about the difference between an audience and a community is profound and highly relevant for podcasters looking to deepen engagement. Let's explore how this concept can be applied to enhance podcast audience interaction: Turning the Chairs: From Audience to CommunityBrogan's analogy of chair direction perfectly encapsulates the shift from passive listening to active participation. For podcasters, this means: Breaking the Fourth Wall Acknowledge your listeners as active participants rather than passive consumers. Directly address them, ask for their input, and make them feel like co-creators of the show Virtual Live Events Host live recording sessions or Q&A events where listeners can interact in real-time. This creates a sense of immediacy and shared experience that strengthens community bonds Strategies for Community-Building Open Lines of Communication Establish multiple channels for listeners to contribute, such as: • Dedicated voicemail lines for questions and comments • Active social media accounts where you regularly engage • Email newsletters that encourage replies • Community forums or Discord servers for ongoing discussions Incorporate Listener Content Make it a regular feature to include listener contributions in your episodes. This could be: • Reading out comments or questions • Playing voice messages • Dedicating segments to listener stories or experiences Collaborative Episodes Occasionally produce episodes that are entirely driven by listener input. This could be a "mailbag" episode answering accumulated questions or a themed episode where listeners share their perspectives on a topic The Power of Possibility Even if only a fraction of your audience actively participates, knowing that the opportunity exists is valuable to all listeners. It transforms the podcast from a one-way broadcast into a potential dialogue, making the experience richer and more engaging for everyone involved By consistently acknowledgin

How Being A Tourist Can Make You and Your Podcast Better - Put Yourself In New Places to Spark Your Podcast Content
How Being A Tourist Can Make You and Your Podcast Better - Put Yourself In New Places to Spark Your Podcast Content We were in Calgary Alberta for the first time in September at PodSummit 2024. We had a great time meeting fellow podcasters, attending sessions and hanging out in this beautiful city. We had the chance to go to Banff Alberta for dinner with long time friends and it was great to be a tourist, taking in the majesty of the city of Banff and the mountains that seem to just appear out of nowhere! It makes you appreciate how small we all are in this big world and how great our planet is! When was the last time that you were a tourist? When was the last time you put yourself in a new environment? This does not require jumping onto a plan and flying across the country, it can be as simple as going into the coffee shop you pass by daily and that you have never been in, to check out a little shop that you are curious about, to take a different way to work that you never take. Putting ourselves in new environments and unfamiliar places heightens our awareness of our surroundings and resets our brain! Meeting new people expands your connections and interactions - meeting someone different than you, from a different place helps you realize that you are not the center of your own world - there is a bigger world out there and exposing ourselves to it makes us better people! So, if you feel a little punchy, a little bored in your routine, if you podcast is kinda becoming just "a thing that you do" instead of "a passion that you love" put yourself somewhere new - it will help you reconnect with yourself and with your world, and that is where creativity is sparked, new ideas come and great connections result! Tell me about your touristic approach to your podcast and how you are putting yourself in unfamiliar waters, I would love to hear how doing so has made your podcast and your own life better!

Episode 308 - From Command to Connection -Transforming Podcast Engagement with Pathways to Action The concept of a "call to action" (CTA) has deep roots in marketing and advertising, but its application in podcasting requires a more nuanced approach. Let's explore the history of CTAs and how podcasters can adapt this concept to better serve their listeners. Evolution of the Call to Action The term "call to action" originated in traditional advertising, where marketers sought to prompt immediate responses from consumers Initially, CTAs were direct commands like "Buy Now!" or "Call Today!" designed to drive sales or generate leads. As marketing evolved, so did CTAs, becoming more sophisticated and tailored to specific audience segments and platforms. Rethinking CTAs for Podcasting In podcasting, the traditional CTA model often falls short. Podcasts are an intimate medium, fostering a personal connection between host and listener. This relationship calls for a more thoughtful approach to engagement.Instead of a "call to action," podcasters should consider creating a "path to action" - a gentler, more audience-centric approach that prioritizes listener benefit over host or sponsor gain. From Command to Opportunity Bad CTA Example : "Don't forget to rate and review our show on Apple Podcasts!" This common podcast CTA focuses solely on benefiting the podcast, without offering value to the listener. Improved Approach : "If you found today's discussion on personal finance helpful, we'd love to hear your thoughts. Sharing your perspective in a review helps other listeners discover content that might benefit them too." This approach frames the action as an opportunity for the listener to contribute to a community and help others, rather than a command to perform a task for the podcast's benefit. Audience-First Engagement Bad CTA Example : "Visit our website to buy our merchandise!" This direct sales pitch can feel jarring and self-serving in the context of a podcast. Improved Approach : "We've curated a collection of resources related to today's topic on our website, including some exclusive content for our listeners. While you're there, you might also want to check out our merch store, where each purchase helps support the show." This approach leads with value for the listener, making the commercial aspect secondary and optional. Creating Interactive Experiences Bad CTA Example : "Follow us on social media!" This generic request doesn't provide a compelling reason for listeners to engage. Improved Approach : "Join our vibrant community on Instagram, where we continue the conversation from each episode. Share your insights using #[PodcastName], and you might hear your thoughts discussed on next week's show!" This invites l

E307 - Overcoming Podcasting Pitfalls - Tips to Simplify, Commit, and Thrive
Episode 307 - Overcoming Podcasting Pitfalls - Tips to Simplify, Commit, and Thrive Podcasters often sabotage their own success by falling into four common traps: over-complication, over-commitment, over-competitiveness, and being overly critical of success metrics. Here's how these issues can hurt your podcast and what you can do to overcome them: Over-Complication The Problem: Many podcasters try to do too much, creating complex formats or intricate production processes that are difficult to sustain. How It Hurts: Increases production time and stress Can lead to inconsistent release schedules May confuse or overwhelm listeners Solution: Simplify your format and focus on your core message Streamline your production process Remember that content quality often trumps production complexity Over-Commitment The Problem: Podcasters often set unrealistic goals or commit to unsustainable publishing schedules. How It Hurts: Leads to burnout and decreased content quality Can result in missed episodes, disappointing listeners May cause you to lose passion for your podcast Solution: Set a realistic publishing schedule that you can maintain long-term Build a content buffer by batching episodes Don't be afraid to adjust your commitments as needed Over-Competitiveness The Problem: Constantly comparing your podcast to others can lead to discouragement or imitation rather than innovation. How It Hurts: Stifles creativity and authenticity Can lead to copying others instead of developing your unique voice May cause you to lose sight of your podcast's original purpose Solution: Focus on your unique value proposition Collaborate with other podcasters instead of viewing them as competition Use inspiration from others to improve, not imitate Overly Critical of Success Metrics The Problem: Obsessing over download numbers, rankings, or other metrics can lead to discouragement and short-sighted decision-making. How It Hurts: Can lead to compromising content quality for quick gains May cause you to overlook meaningful but less quantifiable success indicators Often results in unnecessary stress and anxiety Solution: Define success on your own terms, beyond just numbers Focus on engagement and impact rather than just reach Celebrate small wins and gradual growth ___ Meet with Dave for a free consult to help you with your podcast <a href="https://calendly.com/truemediasolutions/free-podcast-consult-for-how-to-podcast-listeners" targe

First - put in the work behind the scenes that nobody sees - be proud of your work, your research, your show and your audience and show up for them every time! Second - the shorter the question, the smarter the host - short, pointed questions are better by far than 4 minute question setups, back story to why you are asking this specific question and layered questions with questions within a question that confuses the guest, the listener, heck, even you as a host forgets what you even asked...

E305 - Reality Check - 5 Lies You Need to Stop Telling Yourself About Your Podcast
Episode 305 - Reality Check - 5 Lies You Need to Stop Telling Yourself About Your Podcast Here are 5 common lies that podcasters often tell themselves about their podcasts: "My audience will grow organically without any promotion" This is a dangerous misconception. While organic growth can happen, it's rare for podcasts to gain a significant audience without active promotion and marketing efforts. Successful podcasters understand that growing an audience requires consistent outreach, networking, and strategic promotion across various platforms. "I need expensive equipment to produce a quality podcast" Many new podcasters believe they need top-of-the-line gear to create a professional-sounding show. In reality, you can produce high-quality audio with relatively inexpensive equipment. The most important factors are your recording environment and technique, not necessarily the price tag of your microphone. "My content is so good, I don't need to worry about editing" Even the best content can benefit from thoughtful editing. Editing isn't just about removing mistakes; it's about crafting a more engaging and polished listening experience. Neglecting this step can result in a less professional-sounding podcast that may turn listeners away "I can talk about anything and everything on my podcast" While flexibility in content can be good, having a clear niche or focus is crucial for building and retaining an audience. A podcast without a defined topic or theme may struggle to attract and keep listeners who are looking for specific content "Once I launch my podcast, success will come quickly" Podcasting success rarely happens overnight. It often takes time, consistency, and persistence to build an audience and see significant growth. Many podcasters give up too soon, not realizing that success in podcasting is often a long-term endeavor These misconceptions can hinder a podcaster's growth and success. By recognizing and addressing these lies, podcasters can develop more realistic expectations and strategies for their shows. Remember, successful podcasting typically requires a combination of quality content, consistent effort, strategic promotion, and patience. ___ Meet with Dave for a free consult to help you with your podcast https://calendly.com/truemediasolutions/free-podcast-consult-for-how-to-podcast-listeners ___ https://howtopodcast.ca

E304 - The Second Law of Thermodynamics and How Entropy Can Cause Your Podcast To Break Down Over Time
Episode 304 - The Second Law of Thermodynamics and How Entropy Can Cause Your Podcast To Break Down Over Time The second law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy (disorder) in an isolated system tends to increase over time, can indeed be applied metaphorically to podcasting. Just as systems tend to break down without external input, podcasts can lose momentum, quality, and audience engagement if not actively maintained and nurtured. Here's how we can keep our podcast healthy and growing, drawing parallels to combating entropy: Energy Input: Consistent Content Creation Thermodynamic Parallel: In thermodynamics, energy input is required to maintain order and prevent system breakdown. Podcasting Application: Maintain a consistent release schedule Continuously generate fresh, relevant content Invest time and resources in research and preparation Adaptation: Evolving with Your Audience Thermodynamic Parallel: Systems that adapt to changing environments are more likely to survive and thrive. Podcasting Application: Regularly analyze listener feedback and metrics Adjust content and format based on audience preferences Stay current with industry trends and topics Quality Control: Refining Your Process Thermodynamic Parallel: Efficient systems minimize waste and maximize useful output. Podcasting Application: Continuously improve audio quality and production values Refine your hosting skills and interview techniques Edit content ruthlessly to maintain high standards Interconnectivity: Building a Podcast Ecosystem Thermodynamic Parallel: Open systems that exchange energy with their environment are more stable than isolated ones. Podcasting Application: Collaborate with other podcasters and guests Engage with your audience through social media and live events Cross-promote with complementary content creators Diversity: Expanding Your Content Horizons Thermodynamic Parallel: Diverse systems are generally more resilient to changes and disruptions. Podcasting Application: Experiment with different episode formats (interviews, solo shows, panel discussions) Cover a range of topics within your niche Incorporate multimedia elements (video, social media content) Regular Maintenance: Podcast Health Checks Thermodynamic Parallel: Regular maintenance prevents system degradation and extends longevity. Podcasting Application: Conduct periodic reviews of your podcast's performance Update equipment and software as needed Refresh your podcast artwork and description periodically Energy Conservation: Efficient Resource Use Thermodynamic

E302 - I Don't Know What To Podcast About - What Are The Current Content Gaps In Podcasting, Where Should I Start
Episode 302 - I Don't Know What To Podcast About - What Are The Current Content Gaps In Podcasting, Where Should I Start There are two content gaps currently in podcasting that could immediately serve an underserved listener base - Hyper local podcasts and podcasts for adults 50 years of age and older. Hyper local focused podcasts help fill the gap where local media has been overtaken by media outlets that do not have roots in the actual communities that they serve and adults 50 years of age and older do not tend to flock to podcasting as the content currently offered does not draw them in and focus on this stage of life. How can podcasters build a new podcast or tailor their content to reach one or both of these content gaps? Hyper-Local Podcasts Community-Focused Content Create content that directly addresses local issues, events, and personalities. Cover topics like: Local government decisions and their impact Upcoming community events and festivals Profiles of local businesses and entrepreneurs Historical stories about the area Collaboration with Local Entities Partner with local organizations to enhance content and reach: Interview local officials and community leaders Feature local artists, musicians, and authors Collaborate with schools for educational segments Work with local sports teams for insider coverage Interactive Elements Engage the community directly: Host live recording sessions at local venues Encourage listener submissions of local stories or questions Create a community forum for discussion of podcast topics Podcasts for Adults 50+ Age-Relevant Topics Focus on subjects that resonate with this demographic: Health and wellness for older adults Financial planning and retirement strategies Travel tips for seniors Technology guidance for the 50+ audience Life Stage-Specific Content Address unique experiences of this age group: Navigating relationships as empty nesters Career transitions and encore careers Grandparenting advice and stories Aging gracefully and staying active Nostalgic Elements Incorporate content that appeals to shared generational experiences: Retrospectives on significant historical events Discussion of classic films, music, and pop culture Interviews with icons from their youth Strategies for Both Demographics Accessible Format Ensure the podcast is easy to find and use: Provide clear instructions for accessing the podcast on various platforms

Episode 301 - From Monologue to Dialogue - How to Foster Audience Engagement in Your Podcast Practicing speaking and podcasting offers numerous benefits for improving your delivery and connecting with your audience. Here's how you can enhance your skills and create a more engaging podcast: Benefits of Practice Improved Fluency Regular practice helps you become more comfortable with speaking extemporaneously. By rehearsing both with and without a script, you can: Develop a more natural speaking rhythm Reduce filler words and pauses Improve your ability to articulate complex ideas clearly Enhanced Confidence As you practice, you'll gain confidence in your ability to communicate effectively. This confidence will come through in your voice, making your podcast more engaging and authoritative. Refined Content Delivery Practice allows you to: Identify areas where your content needs clarification Develop better transitions between topics Improve your ability to emphasize key points Podcasting vs. Audio Narration Conversational Tone Unlike audio narration, podcasting aims for a more conversational and personal approach. When podcasting: Use a more relaxed, informal tone Incorporate personal anecdotes and experiences Allow for spontaneity and natural speech patterns Audience Engagement Podcasts are designed to feel like a conversation with the listener. To achieve this: Address your audience directly, using "you" instead of general terms Pose questions or scenarios for listeners to consider Share relatable experiences that resonate with your audience Talking With Your Audience To create a more personal connection with your listeners: Visualize Your Listener Imagine you're speaking to a single person rather than a large audience. This helps create a more intimate and engaging tone Use Inclusive Language Incorporate phrases that make the listener feel involved, such as: "Let's explore this together" "I'd love to hear your thoughts on this" "You might be wondering..." Share Personal Insights Don't just present information; offer your own thoughts and experiences. This helps listeners connect with you on a more personal level. Encourage Interaction Invite listeners to engage with your content by: Asking for their opinions or experiences Encouraging them to reach out via social media or email Addressing listener questions or comments in future episodes By implementing these strategies and cons

E300 - Hook Your Listeners, 4 Essential Tips for Getting to the Content Fast in Your Podcast
Episode 300 - Hook Your Listeners, 4 Essential Tips for Getting to the Content Fast in Your Podcast Getting to the content early in your podcast is crucial for retaining listeners and maintaining their interest. Long preambles, excessive commercials, and endless chit-chat can lead to disengagement. Just as action movies captivate audiences by immersing them in the story from the very beginning, podcasters can adopt similar strategies to hook their listeners right away. Here are four actionable points to help you achieve this in your next episode: 1. Start with a Strong Hook Action Point: Begin your podcast with an intriguing question, a surprising fact, or a compelling statement that directly relates to the episode's main topic. This hook should grab the listener's attention immediately and make them curious about what’s to come. Example: “Did you know that 70% of people struggle with this common issue? Today, we’re diving deep into solutions that can change your life!” 2. Introduce the Main Topic Quickly Action Point: After your hook, quickly transition into introducing the main topic or guest of the episode. Keep this introduction concise—no more than 30-60 seconds—so listeners can understand what they will gain from tuning in. Example: “In today’s episode, we’re joined by [Guest Name], an expert in [Field], who will share practical tips on how to overcome [Specific Challenge]. Let’s get started!” 3. Limit Commercial Breaks Action Point: If your podcast includes advertisements, consider placing them strategically after the introduction or within segments rather than at the beginning. This way, you keep the initial momentum going and avoid losing listeners before they even hear the content. Example: “Before we jump into our discussion, a quick word from our sponsor… and then back to our conversation!” 4. Engage with Immediate Content Action Point: Dive straight into the first segment of your content without unnecessary filler. Use a storytelling approach or present a relatable scenario that connects with your audience right away. Example: “Let’s kick things off with a real-life story that illustrates our topic perfectly…” Conclusion By implementing these strategies, you can create a more engaging and listener-friendly podcast experience. Starting strong not only captures attention but also sets the tone for an enjoyable and informative episode that keeps your audience coming back for more! ___ Meet with Dave for a free consult to help you with your podcast https://calendly.com/truem

Episode 298 - I Think We Got This All Wrong - Podfade Explained, Why Podcasts Stop and Strategies to Sustain Your Show Defining PodfadePodfade typically refers to the gradual or sudden cessation of a podcast without any prior announcement or intention to end the show. It often occurs when podcasters lose motivation, run out of content ideas, or become overwhelmed by the production process. What Podfade Is NotAs you correctly point out, podfade should not be confused with: Intentionally ending a podcast: Creating a show with a planned beginning, middle, and end is a valid podcasting strategy. This is similar to authors completing a book and moving on to new projects. Taking a break: Podcasters may choose to take temporary hiatuses for various reasons, such as personal commitments or to recharge creatively. Shifting focus: Moving on to new projects after fully exploring a topic doesn't necessarily constitute podfade, especially if the existing content remains valuable to listeners. The Value of Evergreen ContentEvergreen podcast content can continue to serve audiences long after its initial release. This approach allows podcasters to: Create lasting value for listeners Build a library of timeless episodes Attract new audiences over time through search and discovery Rethinking Podcast SuccessInstead of shaming podcasters for not maintaining a rigid publishing schedule, we should consider alternative measures of success: Impact on listeners Quality of content Longevity of relevance Embracing Podcast DiversityThe podcasting landscape should embrace diverse formats, including: Limited series Seasonal shows Sporadic releases based on content availability By broadening our understanding of what constitutes a successful podcast, we can encourage creativity and reduce the pressure on creators to maintain unsustainable production schedules.

Episode 297 - Welcome and Goodbye - Mastering Podcast Intros for New Listeners and Outros for Loyal Fans When crafting podcast intros and outros, it's crucial to understand their distinct purposes and target audiences. Let's explore the key differences and focuses for each: Podcast Intro: Welcoming New Listeners The intro serves as the gateway to your podcast, primarily targeting new listeners and setting the stage for your content. Key Elements of an Effective Podcast Intro Immediate Hook : Grab attention within the first few seconds Clear Show Identity : State the podcast name and host(s) Concise Overview : Briefly explain the podcast's concept and value proposition Episode Preview : Tease the main topics or guests for the current episode Tailoring Your Podcast Intro to New Listeners Use accessible language, avoiding insider terms or references Provide context for the podcast's theme or niche Establish credibility quickly (e.g., mention expertise or notable guests) Podcast Outro: Engaging Your Community The outro is your opportunity to connect with loyal listeners and foster a sense of community around your podcast. Key Elements of an Effective Outro Gratitude : Thank listeners for their time and support Call-to-Action (CTA) : Encourage engagement beyond the episode Community Building : Mention ways to connect with you and other listeners Teaser : Preview upcoming content to build anticipation Focusing Your Podcast Outro on Your Die-Hard Fans Use more familiar language and inside jokes Reference ongoing discussions or previous episodes Highlight listener contributions or feedback Contrasting ApproachesWhile intros and outros serve different purposes, they both contribute to the overall listener experience: Primary Audience Intro: New listeners Outro: Loyal subscribers Tone Intro: Welcoming and explanatory Outro: Familiar and community-oriented Length Intro: Typically shorter and focused Outro: Can be slightly longer, more conversational Content Focus Intro: Show concept and episode preview Outro: Engagement and future content By tailoring your intro to newcomers and your outro to your established audience, you create a well-rounded podcast structure that serves both groups effectively.

E295 - Escaping the Trap of Sameness and the Watering Down of Podcasting
Episode 295 - Escaping the Trap of Sameness and the Watering Down of Podcasting To escape the trap of sameness and stand out as a content creator, consider the following approaches: Embrace Authenticity Focus on developing your unique voice and perspective. Share personal stories, experiences, and insights that only you can offer. Authenticity resonates with audiences and helps differentiate your content from the generic masses. Challenge Conventions Don't be afraid to go against popular trends or challenge widely held beliefs in your niche. Offering contrarian viewpoints or exploring unconventional ideas can spark interest and discussion. Experiment with Formats Break away from standard content formats. Try innovative ways to present information, such as: Interactive content Immersive storytelling Unique visual styles Unexpected collaborations Deep Dive into Niche Topics Instead of covering broad, surface-level topics, focus on exploring specific niches in great depth. Become the go-to expert on highly specialized subjects that others overlook. Prioritize Quality Over Quantity Rather than churning out frequent, mediocre content, invest time in creating fewer but higher-quality pieces. Focus on thorough research, thoughtful analysis, and polished presentation. Develop a Distinct Style Cultivate a recognizable aesthetic or tone that sets your content apart visually and conceptually. This could involve: A unique visual brand Signature phrases or segments Consistent themes or motifs Engage with Your Audience Foster genuine connections with your audience through meaningful interactions. Respond to comments, host live Q&As, and incorporate audience feedback into your content. Cross-Pollinate Ideas Draw inspiration from diverse fields and incorporate interdisciplinary concepts into your content. Connecting seemingly unrelated ideas can lead to fresh perspectives and innovative content. Focus on Evergreen Value Instead of chasing fleeting trends, create content with lasting value. Develop resources, guides, or series that remain relevant and useful over time. Embrace Imperfection Don't be afraid to show vulnerability or share works-in-progress. Audiences often appreciate seeing the human side of creators and the creative process. By implementing these strategies, you can break free from the homogeneity of mainstream content creation and develop a truly distinctive presence that resonates with your audience. Remember, the goal is not just to be different for the sake of it, but to offer genuine value in a way that only you can. ___ Meet with Dave for a free consult to help you with your podcast <a href="https://calendly.com/truemediasolutions/free-podcast-consult-for-how-to-podcas

Odd Things Promoted Via Podcasting - Are You Falling Victim To Bad Podcast Advice - The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips
The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - Odd Things Promoted Via Podcasting - Are You Falling Victim To Bad Podcast Advice Ok, this is getting a bit ridiculous! I had a client reach out to me and ask if they should become a "Certified Podcaster" I asked them a few questions, certified by whom? Is this a real thing? Sounds strange to me?! I know and respect many podcasters that have been podcasting from the dawn of time, they aren't certified! I am not certified! Certification is a fancy term for gatekeeping. Certified is a way to separate people into groups, those with certification, those without! I can go to my local office supply store, buy some highlighters, paper clips, paper, pens and a bunch of business cards and ta da! Dave is a coach! Then, I can create a funnel/certification in Canva in a few minutes, slap a $2000 fee to it and sell it to well-meaning, hard working podcasters as the next must have in podcasting. The problem? There isn't a need for it, and, the person offering this certification is just creating something out of nothing and then convincing unsuspecting podcasters to buy the thing that we haven't needed, ever! Would you respect me more if I was certified? Well I am not going to spend thousands of dollars to buy a meaningless title that the podcast industry does not need. Going to an accredited source, trusted, proven and certified to certify others is one thing - creating a certification in Canva is something quite the opposite! Please do not, I repeat, do not spend money on something that really is not a real thing - like being a "Certified Podcaster or Podcast Coach" Snake Oil Salespeople exist - buyer beware, results vary, research everything before you spend any amount of money with anyone, on anything in podcasting. If you are not sure about someone's offer, let's chat before you hit "Add to Cart" on the next psudeo, disingenuous and made up thing created to sell to you - buyer beware! _____ https://howtopodcast.ca/

Episode 289 - CO-HOST - Robbie Samuels - Tips for Rebranding Your Show, Building A Winning Team and Repurposing Past Content Multi-Passionate Entrepreneur Connector ~ Builder ~ Expert Strategist ~ Coach ~ Speaker Award-winning author of three books, recognized as a networking expert by NPR, Forbes, Amazon, Lifehacker, Harvard Business Review, and Inc., and as an expert in virtual event design by JDC Events. As a business growth strategist , I coach entrepreneurial women in their 50s and beyond (and a few good men) who are ready to grow their impact and income through new revenue streams by helping them grow their audience BEFORE launching a program or service. As an event design consultant and executive Zoom producer , I partner with speakers and in-house event teams to design inclusive, engaging, and transformative event experiences, whether in-person, virtual, or hybrid. I train speakers and the team, and handle all the virtual tech. My goal is to help you lower your stress. I've been producing events in one form or another since I was in college in the 90s and providing business growth strategy advice for nearly as long. These skills combine to create a book launch strategy coach who coaches entrepreneurs to build a launch team of 150+ likely prospects and referral partners, get 50+ Amazon reviews, and host a virtual book launch party that creates a pipeline for their next offer. Conversations with prospects lead to new revenue, which is a measure of success you can take to the bank! I was invited to do a TEDx on my signature networking technique, “croissants vs. bagels” I published three books that have received over 650 Amazon reviews I’ve hosted the On the Schmooze podcast since 2016 When the pandemic shuttered events I swiftly reinvented myself from networking expert to industry expert in the field of virtual event design. I then built a multi six-figure business based on all-new revenue streams. I share my entrepreneurial journey on my About page.

E287 - How Active Listening Could Negatively Impact Your Podcast Interviews - Leave Room For Your Guest
Episode 287 - How Active Listening Could Negatively Impact Your Podcast Interviews - Leave Room For Your Guest Active listening techniques commonly used in everyday conversations don't always translate well to podcast interviews for several reasons: Audio distractions: Constant verbal affirmations like "uh-huh" or "yeah" can be distracting for listeners and may interfere with the guest's audio. Guest discomfort: Frequent interruptions or interjections may make guests feel uncomfortable or disrupt their train of thought. Unnatural flow: Overuse of verbal cues can make the conversation feel forced or unnatural, potentially impacting the quality of the interview. Use non-verbal cues: If you can see your guest, use visual cues like nodding, smiling, or maintaining eye contact to show engagement without interrupting the audio. Practice silent active listening: Focus intently on what the guest is saying without feeling the need to verbally respond. This allows you to pick up on nuances and formulate thoughtful follow-up questions. Ask clarifying questions: Instead of constant affirmations, use well-timed clarifying questions to dive deeper into topics and show you're engaged. For example: Create a comfortable environment: Ensure your recording space is welcoming and not cramped. Pay attention to lighting and provide amenities like water or coffee to help guests feel at ease. Conduct a pre-interview: This helps build rapport with the guest, creates an outline for the actual interview, and informs them of what to expect, reducing anxiety. Embrace silence: Don't be afraid of brief pauses. They can give guests time to gather their thoughts and often lead to more interesting responses. Be prepared but flexible: Research your guest thoroughly, but be willing to deviate from your planned questions if the conversation takes an interesting turn. Encourage authenticity: Let guests know they don't need to perform or be overly formal. Authentic, natural conversations often yield the best content. Show you're on the same team: Help guests understand that you want them to look good and that you're not trying to trick or embarrass them. Allow for mistakes: Remind guests that the show isn't live and that they can always pause and restart an answer if needed. To be a better podcast host and create a better interview experience, consider the following approaches:By implementing these strategies, you can create a more comfortable environment for your guests, maintain better audio quality for your listeners, and conduct more engaging and insightful interviews. ___ Meet with Dave for a free consult to help you with your podcast https://calendly.com/truemediasolutions/free-podcast-consult-for-how-to-podcast-listeners ___ <a

The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - Own Your Own Podcast Domain Website - Third Party Services Like PodPage and Facebook are Winning With Your Google Juice Owning your web presence is a great idea. When someone searches for you, your show and what you do, you want to own that traffic. Another popular option touted today is to buy your domain and point it to a third party site like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and PodPage - all of these places are great, but - they are all rented land that you do now own, you have no control over how they operate and they owe you nothing if they choose to make a move that does not benefit you. I did recommend PodPage in the early days of this podcast when they had a free plan - but they yanked that fairly quickly so I have been promoting Pod.link and Episodes.fm as alternatives that allow you clickable links to your podcast as a whole or to specific episodes giving your audience the choice as to the app they want to use to listen to your show. And Pod.link as well as Episodes.fm are FREE! Yes, despite the misguided meanderings of old school gurus, free is a viable option for podcasters - if someone tells you that free is a bad business model ask them if they have Facebook, Gmail, Google, LinkedIn etc - all of which have free options! ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

Recording November's National Podcast Post Month Episodes in August
Recording November's National Podcast Post Month Episodes in August This year, I will be participating in the National Podcast Post Month Challenge - 30 episodes, 1 per day for the entire month of November - and I will be doing this with 3 of my 8 podcasts (30 x 3 = 90 episodes for November) How the heck do you create 90 episodes for one single month? I share my plans to hit this target this year and how my podcast friends, past guests and listeners are helping meet this audacious target! The key, is to start now - early August for a Novembner target. If you are interested in this November event, here is more about what is happening! The History In 2007, 50 podcasters participated in the first ever National Podcast Post Month aka NaPodPoMo. Created by Jennifer Navarrete as an answer for an audio version to other 30 day challenges happening in the month of November. NaPodPoMo is a month long event along the same vein as National Novel Writing Month aka NaNoWriMo. The difference? Well, instead of writing a 50,000 word novel, you podcast every day for 30 days from November 1st-30th. Use any platform you desire. From full production studio to iPhone app and just about anything in between. The goal of NaPodPoMo is to use the challenge of podcasting daily as a form of podcasting bootcamp. For some, NaPodPoMo may be their first foray into podcasting. For others, it is a chance to try out a new platform or start another show. There are no hard and fast rules as to how you do this. If on November 30th you have recorded 30 shows, then you win. What do you get for completing the challenge? Isn’t a virtual high five and a sense of accomplishment enough? Your listeners benefit with more of your content, you will be a better podcaster after 30 episodes in a row C'mon, you can do this - start now! https://napodpomo.org/ ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

In my mid 20’s… I had it all. I had a beautiful girlfriend, high paying job, sports car, my dream body… but I still ended up sitting on the edge of a bed debating suicide. After my rock bottom moment, I went all in on holistic self-improvement. I was determined to overcome my anxiety, depression and to finally live the life I’d always dreamed of. Years later, I now host a podcast that impacts hundreds of thousands of people in countries all over the world. At this stage, I’ve helped grow the podcast into a multi six-figure business, and I’ve recorded well over 1,000 episodes. I’ve also given hundreds of speeches, trainings and coaching calls with people all over the world. The main thing that changed was ME. I focused on learning what I didn’t know (unlearning a lot too), and my life started to shift. I love talking about Consistency, Commitment, Habits, Mindset, Confidence, Fear, Relationships, Limiting Beliefs and everything in between.

I have had many podcasters coming to me looking for a great voice to be their intro and outro voice, well you just found one of the best in the industry! Chris has many credits to his name (voice) and he is available to work with you! Chris' voiceover career began innocuously enough by recording producer tags for a local indie musician. Having spent 4 years in morning radio, Chris is your go-to guy for smooth, velvety narration as well as punchy, intense branding. No project is out of his comfort zone, as his versatility suits audiobooks, , corporate narration, commercials, or anything you can think of. his enthusiastic and professional approach ensures you receive a product of the utmost quality in a very timely manner. Reviews “I cannot recommend Chris enough. Not only is he insanely talented, but he’s also incredibly easy to work with. He takes a collaborative approach with the author, and truly cares about making sure the end product is the highest possible quality. I literally cannot imagine anyone else being able to do what Chris did with my litany of different characters and their various accents. He’s a one man theater troupe with a naturally incredible narrator voice. I could seriously listen to him read takeout menus. You will not regret working with him. I want him to narrate every novel that I write. -E.S. Oliver “Chris was amazing to work with. My book had quite a few versatile characters with different voices. He was able to keep characters separate as well as narrating with inflection and articulation. Chris brought the book to life rather than just ‘reading through it’ as some narrators tend to do. I am more than happy with the results and I will be calling on Mr. Turek in the future.” -Gary Hickman https://www.christurek.com/ ___ Meet with Dave for a free consult to help you with your podcast https://calendly.com/truemediasolutions/free-podcast-consult-for-how-to-podcast-listeners ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

I come from very humble roots where my parents worked tirelessly and endlessly to put food on the table. My dad used to tell me his job was to open as many doors for me as possible and it was my job to walk through them and create my own freedom. That has been my guiding star and I still use it heavily in my coaching practice and in my faith. I have failed, rebuilt, failed again and risen and failed again just to rise again stronger and wiser. I have been a builder and developer, a professional real estate agent, a CEO, an executive business coach, a business owner, a creator, a father a husband and continue to open doors for my clients and family so they can walk through them. I have created a life of freedom that many believe impossible. My working hours do not match my income and there are jokes that I just must be selling drugs to make the kind of life I live. I made the decision to live a big life and to do great things and do them well. My passion for the natural world and conservation of wildlife drives me to do outside stuff and things that are who I am at the core. My big why is; To live free such that my actions inspire others. My mission is to: Guide leaders to abundance and opportunity for themselves and those they influence. My mission rolls my core values into my business which passes along to all those I seek to empower to live as they believe they are meant to. https://www.facebook.com/cyberbackercoloradowyoming/ https://www.facebook.com/jake.clendenning.5 ___ Meet with Dave for a free consult to help you with your podcast https://calendly.com/truemediasolutions/free-podcast-consult-for-how-to-podcast-listeners ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

E275 - Shaboozey Your Podcast - If You Don't Fit Into A Category, Create Your Own - Stand Out As A Podcaster
Episode 275 - Shaboozey Your Podcast - If You Don't Fit Into A Category, Create Your Own - Stand Out As A Podcaster Shaboozey has taught us a valuable lesson - create your own path! Shaboozey has taken Country Music and Rap and created an entirely new sound that will attract many music lovers - how can his musical journey help you with your podcast? Create your own path and don't worry about fitting into a certain path, category or label - be you! 4 Reasons Why Creating Your Own Path is Key to Creativity Authenticity Fuels Innovation Creating your own path allows you to embrace your true self, free from the constraints of societal expectations and labels. When you are authentic, your creativity flourishes because you are not limited by predefined norms. This authenticity leads to original ideas and innovative solutions that stand out in a world full of conformity. Freedom to Experiment When you forge your own way, you have the freedom to experiment without the fear of failure or judgment. This freedom encourages you to try new things, take risks, and explore uncharted territories. Such an environment is fertile ground for creativity, as it allows you to discover unique perspectives and develop unconventional approaches. Personal Growth and Self-Discovery Carving out your own path is a journey of personal growth and self-discovery. It pushes you to understand your strengths, weaknesses, passions, and values. This deep self-awareness is essential for creative thinking because it helps you tap into your inner resources and harness your unique abilities to create something truly original. Breaking Boundaries and Setting Trends By not following predetermined paths, you have the opportunity to break boundaries and set new trends. Trailblazers are often those who dare to go where no one else has gone before. By creating your own lane, you not only distinguish yourself from others but also inspire and influence those around you, contributing to the evolution of creative fields. Takeaway Action Item Reflect on areas in your life where you are conforming to societal expectations or following predetermined paths. Identify one specific area where you can start forging your own way and take a concrete step towards creating your unique lane. This could be as simple as pursuing a personal passion or as bold as redefining your career trajectory. https://youtu.be/t7bQwwqW-Hc?si=JWSe76rYrLIKE85j ___ Meet with Dave for a free consult to help you with your podcast https://calendly.com/truemediasolutions/free-podcast-con

E274 - What is the Difference Between a Podcast Influencer and a Podcast Thought Leader
Episode 274 - What is the Difference Between a Podcast Influencer and a Podcast Thought Leader The key difference between a thought leader and an influencer in the context of podcasting lies in their primary focus and approach. Thought Leader Podcaster A thought leader podcaster aims to provide in-depth knowledge, insights, and expertise within a specific niche or industry. Their primary goal is to educate, inform, and drive meaningful discussions around their area of expertise. The advantages of being a thought leader podcaster include: Establishing credibility and authority in their field Fostering a loyal audience of engaged listeners seeking valuable knowledge Creating a platform for sharing original research, ideas, and perspectives Potential for monetization through consulting, speaking engagements, or sponsorships Requiring a significant investment of time and effort to produce high-quality, well-researched content Potentially narrower audience reach compared to influencers Difficulty in maintaining a consistent content schedule due to the depth of preparation required Potential for a broader audience reach and higher engagement Opportunities for sponsorships, product placements, and brand partnerships Ability to leverage their personal brand and connect with their audience on a more personal level Difficulty in establishing credibility and authority in a specific field Potential for content to be perceived as superficial or lacking substance Reliance on maintaining a consistent personal brand and image The disadvantages may include: Influencer Podcaster An influencer podcaster, on the other hand, focuses on building a large and engaged following through their personality, lifestyle, and relatability. Their primary goal is to entertain, inspire, and influence their audience's opinions and behaviors. The advantages of being an influencer podcaster include: The disadvantages may include: Call to Action For podcasters, it's essential to understand the distinction between these two approaches and align their content strategy accordingly. If your goal is to establish yourself as an authority in your field and share valuable knowledge, consider positioning yourself as a thought leader podcaster. However, if your strength lies in connecting with audiences through your personality and lifestyle, embracing the influencer approach may be more suitable. Ultimately, the key is to identify your unique strengths, define your goals, and consistently deliver content that resonates with your target audience. Whichever path you choose, remain authentic, engage with your listeners, and continuously strive to provide value through your podcast. <a href="https://favoritedau

Have you wanted to launch your podcast? Sara is here as an expert in the space - author, podcaster and brand specialist joins us here on The How To Podcast Series Sara Lohse - Founder and President I got my start in the creative department of an advertising agency, writing and developing award-winning marketing campaigns and proving that even retirement communities can benefit from a well-placed pun. Taking an unexpected leap into personal finance, I got hired as the director of marketing for a financial advising firm and somehow convinced the owners to let me use my marketing budget to produce free financial literacy resources for the public. Soon after, I joined forces with the CEO to launch an educational media firm dedicated to spreading quality financial literacy books, articles, webinars, and podcasts. I even earned my certification as an Accredited Financial Counselor to further my own education and add some letters to my name. I became the executive producer of a personal finance podcast and flew around the country to attend conferences, meet other creators, and learn everything I thought I already knew. With my guidance paired with the always lovable host, the show was picked up by a network, received more than 100,000 downloads, and sparked new conversations about topics that are more important than money. Concurrently, I developed partnerships with other financial firms to coach their marketing teams and supplement their content creation and PR efforts. I have a roster of clients who trust me to develop their brand voice, write and publish under their names, revamp their marketing collateral, and get them booked on podcasts to spread their message. Throughout these experiences, the biggest lesson that I learned is that I am the happiest version of myself when I am creating. Whether it’s producing a podcast, hosting a webinar, writing a book, or designing a graphic, I am fueled by creativity and a little too much caffeine. While my love for finance will never go away, I launched Favorite Daughter Media in 2022 in order to explore my own creativity and help other brands in the process. Because the other big thing I learned: I’m good at it. My brain works differently than most people I’ve worked with and I’ve come to accept that as my superpower. I am me. I am a creator. And I’m about to be your Favorite Daughter. https://favoritedaughtermedia.com/ https://favoritedaughtermedia.com/open-this-book/ ___ Meet wit

Shout Out Your Listener, They Just Might Respond - Daily Dave Briefing - Podcast Tips
Shout Out Your Listener, They Just Might Respond - Daily Dave Briefing - Podcast Tips So, I host a podcast called The Podcast Editing and Support Show - this is my newest podcast where I help podcasters find a podcast editor and help podcast editors take their skills and turn it into a viable side hustle/career. When looking at my stats recently I noticed that there was a particular listener in a German city that was listening to every episode so I did what I hae encouraged you to do in the past here on the podcast - to call them out, thank them for listening and invite them to reach out to my show via my Speak Pipe link - and you can probably figure out what happened... My challenge for you on your next episode is to do the very same thing - identify a listener in a Country, State, Province and City - look for a pattern of listenership and mention them on your next episode. Let me know what happens (again) via my Speak Pipe link on my website! Excited to see this work for you and your show! Talk soon!

E263 - CO-HOST - Richard Wilmore - Make Your Day Richer by Podcasting
Episode 263 - CO-HOST - Richard Wilmore - Make Your Day Richer by Podcasting Thrive In The SpotlightWelcome to the ultimate destination for creating top-tier podcasts and shows. With my extensive experience in producing, curating guest appearances, video editing, and marketing, I can help you stand out in the crowded landscape. Personalized coaching for hosts and guests is also available, ensuring every episode or interview shines. Let's amplify your voice and captivate your audience together! I was always a creative kid. I lived most of my childhood in an imaginary world where I played the adult role. I would spend hours by myself creating a curriculum for a classroom I made up in my head and had regular hours I kept as the grocery store owner in the abandoned building behind our house. For far too long I used my bed as a news desk and was a 13-year-old news reporter, solo anchoring the 10 pm news. I’ve always been in awe of creative people. Of people with “talent” because I never thought I had any. I was kicked out of band class in 4th grade and that’s when I stopped trying. It wasn’t until the Summer of 1997 that I realized what my superpower was. That summer changed my life. I was between 7th and 8th grade and it was when I figured out what I would do with the rest of my life. I saw a rerun of The Rosie O’Donnell Show and I could feel the energy through the tv screen. I wanted to do that. I needed to do that. That is what I must do with my life. Provide an entertaining, fun, judgment-free zone where creative people are celebrated. I wanted to make the world feel how Rosie made me and millions of others feel every day: seen, heard, and loved. I created a talk show set in my bedroom and got to work. Every day I hung a sign I made on printer paper that read “ON AIR” and for 60 minutes I pretended to talk to the biggest stars in the world. I’ve been hosting that show in one version or another (guess who had a show on TV from 2016-2022) but it wasn’t until I started working for the arts-in-health nonprofit, Hearts Need Art, that I realized my ability to connect with strangers and comfort even the most nervous person is an art form. I always say most of my paintings are hung on the inside of a garbage can and that is fine by me. I love the process of pushing shiny paint around a canvas. I love how smoothly it glides, the way the light hits it and it glistens. I love the way I don’t know anything about combining colors so there’s always a surprise at some point. What I’ve learned so far: art, in any form, isn’t about the outcome. It’s about the process. It’s about the distraction and the way it calms your mind. It’s about expression and vision and uncertainty and hope and faith and fear and grief and everything in between. Art can be loud and it can be silent. Take a breath and just be still. Be silent or let all the thoughts and feelings fly through your head and then

E261 - What Three Words Would You Use to Describe Your Podcast
Episode 261 - What Three Words Would You Use to Describe Your Podcast Using Three Words to Describe Your PodcastObjective: To help podcasters distill the essence of their podcast into three key words, fostering clarity, intentionality, and a strong brand identity. Steps: Reflection : Spend some time reflecting on your podcast's mission, vision, and core values. Consider what makes your podcast unique and what you want listeners to take away from each episode. Brainstorming : Write down all the words that come to mind when you think about your podcast. Don't limit yourself; aim for at least 20-30 words. Categorize these words into themes or clusters (e.g., entertainment, education, inspiration). Prioritization : Narrow down your list by selecting the most impactful and representative words from each theme. Aim to have a shortlist of about 5-10 words. Selection : Choose the three words that best encapsulate the essence of your podcast. These should be words that resonate deeply with you and align with your podcast’s goals and audience. Validation : Share these three words with a few trusted friends, listeners, or colleagues to get feedback. Ensure these words accurately reflect the perception and experience of your audience. Application : Use these three words as a guiding principle for your content creation, marketing strategies, and branding efforts. Regularly revisit these words to ensure your podcast stays aligned with its core essence. Example: Imagine you have a podcast about personal growth and self-improvement. After going through the exercise, you choose the words: Inspire, Transform, Empower . Benefits of This Activity: Clarity : By distilling your podcast into three words, you gain a clear understanding of its core message and purpose. This clarity helps in maintaining consistency across episodes and marketing materials. Focus : These three words act as a focal point, guiding your content creation and helping you stay on track. It’s easier to decide what topics to cover and what guests to invite when you have a clear framework. Brand Identity : A strong, concise description helps establish a memorable and recognizable brand. Listeners can easily understand what your podcast is about and what to expect, leading to stronger brand loyalty. Marketing and Promotion :</p

That creating video is an absolute requirement for growing a podcast. All the hype around video has created a situation where podcasters feel we have to do video or we’ll fall behind. That creating video is an absolute requirement for growing a podcast. We know video is a topic that tends to divide the podcasting community – which makes it even more important that we keep talking about it. With this in mind, we surveyed podcasters to learn more about how they’re using YouTube (if at all) in their podcast strategy. Our survey sample included readers of the site and newsletter subscribers, who are largely independent podcasters, with a mixture of aspiring, early-stage, and established creators. The results were pretty interesting, to say the least. Here’s what the survey told us, what the results mean, and why you absolutely shouldn’t cave to the video pressure if it’s not something you actually want to do with your show.

Episode 255 - CO-HOSTS - Jason and John from the I Shower After Work Podcast - Podcasting As a Tool of the Trade Welcome to the I Shower After Work Podcast. Jason and John are happy you decided to join them for this wild ride! They have a deep respect for all the trades and for all of the men and women that are in this with them. The ISAW Podcast dives into every trade in the construction area. This isn’t for the office workers but for everyone in the field busting their asses, backs, and brains on the job. So come and have a laugh along the way. Hello all, I’m Jason (AKA “Canada”). I've been an electrician since 2009 and have been working in the field and in service ever since. I have been lucky enough to have seen the full scope from residential to commercial to industrial during my career with Local 292 in Minnesota and around the midwest. This has given me a broad insight of what can be seen and expected in the trades day to day. I was transferred around as an apprentice getting experience with a number of different shops and have been with my current employer since I became a Journeyman. This is a second career for me coming from the financial industry in my home country of Canada, hence the nickname, and couldn't be happier with the opportunities the trade has provided me. Not to mention the opportunities I have had since immigrating to the United States in 2006. John and I hope to bring you some insight and experience from all our years in the field and mostly a few laughs, but hope to be able to share your stories and experience as well. Tune in, shout out and let's talk about this wild career choice we all second guess on a weekly basis. Hey everyone, I’m John. I have been an Electrician for the majority of my adult life. 2023 has given me 20 years of experience in the trades. I’ve worked in a lot of the industries involved in the electrical sector. As an apprentice I spent my time doing service, light commercial, and residential wiring in the non-union area of South Dakota. As a Journeyman, I was fortunate to spend a very short time in the oil field area of North Dakota. I then spent several years as a Service Tech in South Dakota. The experience gained from being a Service tech has been unmatched by anything else I’ve done. I moved from South Dakota to Minnesota in 2013 and joined the IBEW 292 union. I have had the ability to see and do things that I would have never done in South Dakota just based on the scale of buildings. Fast forward to now and Jason and I have decided to pool our 30+ of experience to bring you an honest view of the Trades that maybe you don’t know or just bring you a laugh on one of those garbage days you’re having. Thanks again for joining us!! Slainte!! Follow ISAW Podcast on Facebook and Instagram, then send a DM

Episode 254 - Why Podcasters Quit Podcasting - Why You Might be Close to Giving Up Why Podcasters Quit PodcastingHere is an expanded outline for a podcast episode on why podcasters quit podcasting Lack of Audience Engagement Podcasters become discouraged when they don't see meaningful engagement from their audience (e.g. comments, shares, reviews) Lack of listener feedback and interaction can make podcasters feel like they're talking into the void Without that sense of connection with their audience, the motivation to keep producing new episodes wanes Lack of Meaningful Audience Growth Many podcasters start out with high hopes of rapidly growing a large, loyal audience When audience growth stagnates or is slower than expected, podcasters can become disillusioned The constant struggle to attract new listeners and grow the show's reach takes a toll over time Struggle with Accountability Podcasting requires self-discipline to consistently produce new content on a schedule Without external accountability, some podcasters struggle to hold themselves responsible to their show The lack of structure and deadlines that come with a solo creative project like a podcast can lead to procrastination and burnout Overwhelming Time Commitment Podcasting takes a significant time investment - from planning, to recording, to editing, to promotion For some podcasters, the amount of work required becomes too much to manage alongside other commitments Feeling overwhelmed and unable to keep up with the demands of the show causes them to quit Lack of Organization Disorganized podcasters can quickly become bogged down in the logistical details of running a show Poor planning, inefficient workflows, and a general lack of structure lead to frustration and burnout Without systems and processes in place, the workload of podcasting becomes unsustainable By addressing these common pain points, podcasters can better prepare themselves for the challenges of long-term podcasting and increase their chances of sticking with it. ____ https://howtopodcast.ca/

The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - 3 Reasons Dave Joined PodMatch
The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - 3 Reasons Dave Joined PodMatch So, I am trying out PodMatch - there is 3 reasons why I am giving this a solid try. Reason #1 - No Shows - I interview 20 to 30 people a week for my combined 8 podcasts. A very small percentage of these potential guests never show up for our pre-interview chat. As a full-time night shift worker, I create time in my calendar when I should be sleeping, so even if just a few people skip out on their appointments in my calendar - I am out a few hours a week, it is inconvient to my planning and a waste of time. Reason #2 - Guests can rate and review my show, but I can't do the same for my guests - I want the world to know about the amazing guests on my show - by giving out positive reviews for my guests it helps them get onto more podcasts Reason #3 - I am already considering spending some money on advertising - so instead of giving money to services that "might" gain me new listeners, I can practically guarantee that a guest will be a listener of my show - truly a guest isn't just a guest - they are a new listener - so investing in a platform like PodMatch gets me new listeners! That is a smart spend!

Episode 251 - Writing For Your Podcast - Blogs, Show Notes, Episode Titles, Articles - Can I Just Podcast, Do I Have To Write While maintaining a blog can be beneficial for SEO and written content, it is not mandatory to have a blog post for every podcast episode release. The focus should be on creating high-quality, engaging podcast content that resonates with your target audience. By embracing podcasting, you can tap into a growing medium with less competition and a potentially more valuable audience. However, it's important to approach podcasting with a strategic mindset, investing in quality equipment, developing a consistent content schedule, and promoting your podcast effectively across various platforms. Remember, the key to success in any content creation endeavor is providing value to your audience and building a loyal following. Whether through a podcast, a blog, or a combination of both, the goal should be to create compelling content that resonates with your target audience and helps you achieve your desired outcomes.

Two Things Interview Podcasters are Doing That Frustrates New Guests - ReThink Your Strategy
The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - Two Things Interview Podcasters are Doing That Frustrates New Guests - ReThink Your Strategy Ok, so in a pre-interview of a guest for my Living The Next Chapter Podcast I met with a wonderful person that has had the worst experiences as a podcast guest. Podcasters, if you are doing the following two things with your guests, you need to stop - or - be more transparent as to your intentions and your process when dealing with guests - the way some podcasters are acting is making the rest of us look bad - so please stop! So not bait and switch your potential guest - this person I mentioned was invited onto a podcast only for the podcaster to use this opportunity to try to sell their course, membership, mastermind etc. A Sales Funnel disguised as a podcast interview is classless, tacky and disturbing - don't muddy the water - please stop! The second thing to stop doing is having two tier interactions with your guests - if you charge some of your guests and don't charge others, do not hold a guest's podcast release date for ransom and demand payment to bump them up the list so they can share their episode. Whoever taught you to do these tactics has led you astray. This kind woman was totally discouraged by your actions as an interview podcaster. Thankfully, I was able to meet her on her last attempt at being on a podcast and I will make sure that she has a great episode, that she has me supporting her before, during and after the podcast and that I will continue to be there for her as a guest into the future. A sales funnel is a sales funnel - a podcast interview is a podcast interview - please do not confuse the two! Rant over! ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

E246 - Perplexity.ai challenges Chat GPT with robust tools and sources for search results
Episode 246 - Perplexity.ai challenges Chat GPT with robust tools and sources for search results Perplexity AI is an AI-powered search engine and chatbot that utilizes advanced technologies such as natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to provide accurate and comprehensive answers to user queries. It is designed to search the web in real-time and offer up-to-date information on various topics. Perplexity AI is a powerful tool with an intuitive user interface that can help users find information on a wide range of topics. In this blog, we will discuss what Perplexity AI is and how to use it. Perplexity AI was founded in 2022 by Andy Konwinski, Aravind Srinivas, Denis Yarats, and Johnny Ho. The four founders met while working at Google AI, where they were all involved in the development of large language models. They were frustrated with the lack of a good way to access and use the knowledge contained in these models, so they decided to start their own company to address this problem. The name “Perplexity” was chosen because it reflects the company’s goal of providing users with accurate and informative answers to their questions, even if those questions are complex or challenging. The company’s mission is to “democratize access to knowledge” by making it easier for anyone to learn and explore new topics. Perplexity AI is still in its early stages, but it has already made significant progress. The company has developed a powerful search engine that can understand the context of a question and provide relevant answers from a variety of sources. Perplexity AI is also developing a number of other features, such as the ability to generate code, write tables, and solve math problems. Here are the steps to use Perplexity AI: 1. Head to www.perplexity.ai 2. To ask the model a question, simply type in your request in the search bar and click the blue arrow. 3. Review Perplexity AI’s answer and the sources. 4. Ask another question using the “Ask a follow-up” bar below. Perplexity AI has several features that make it a powerful tool for information discovery and sharing. Here are some of the key features of Perplexity AI: - Accurate and comprehensive answers to user queries - Real-time search of the web - Access to PDFs - Powered by large language models - Free to use - Available on the web and as an app for iPhone users - Cites sources used to provide the answer Accuracy : Perplexity AI uses a large language model (LLM) to provide accurate and informative answers to user queries. The LLM is trained on a massive dataset of text and code, which allows it to understand the context of a question and provide relevant answers. Completeness : Perplexity AI provides complete answers to user queries. This means that the

What Would You Do if All Podcast Stats Went Away, Would You Keep Podcasting?
The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - What Would You Do if All Podcast Stats Went Away, Would You Keep Podcasting What would you do if your podcast stats just (POOF!) vanished? Would you stop podcasting? At the end of the day, connecting with your audience and making a positive impact on their lives is what truly matters.So, how can you gain valuable audience feedback beyond just download statistics? Here are some ideas: Encourage listener interactions: At the end of each episode, prompt your listeners to share their thoughts, questions, or stories related to the topic. Provide an email address or social media handle where they can reach out. Conduct listener surveys: Periodically send out surveys to gather feedback on what your audience enjoys, what they'd like to see more of, and how the podcast has impacted their lives. Engage on social media: Be active on platforms like Twitter (X), Facebook, or Reddit, where your listeners congregate. Respond to comments, start discussions, and build a community around your podcast. Attend live events: Consider hosting or attending live events like PodSummit, our regular podcaster meetups, or conferences related to your podcast's niche. This allows you to connect with listeners face-to-face and gain invaluable insights. Offer a hotline or voicemail (speakpipe): Set up a dedicated phone number or voicemail service where listeners can leave audio messages, feedback, or even record questions for future episodes. By implementing these strategies, you'll not only gain a deeper understanding of your audience's needs and preferences but also foster a stronger connection with your listeners – something that no download statistic can truly measure.Remember, at the core of every successful podcast is a genuine desire to connect with people and make a positive impact on their lives. So, even if there were no podcast statistics available, the real measure of success would be the meaningful connections you've made and the lives you've touched through your content.

E245 - You've Done Hard Things Before, If Someone Believed in You Would You Start Your Podcast
Episode 245 - You've Done Hard Things Before, If Someone Believed in You Would You Start Your Podcast? Embarking on the journey of becoming a podcaster, like any new endeavor, is a daunting task. Yet, as the saying goes, "It doesn’t get easier, you get stronger." Through each trial and tribulation, I emerge stronger and more resilient. Though the growth may not always be immediately visible to others, I find solace in knowing that with each hurdle overcome, I am evolving into a better podcaster and a more confident individual. Embrace the Challenge and Start Your Podcast Journey Now that you've learned about the concept of growth through challenge and resilience in the context of podcasting, it's time to take action! Here's a practical step you can take to kickstart your podcasting journey: 1. Identify Your Passion and Unique Voice: Take some time to reflect on what topics you're passionate about and what unique perspective or expertise you can bring to the podcasting world. Whether it's discussing your favorite hobbies, sharing insights from your profession, or exploring niche interests, find what resonates with you. 2. Set Clear Goals and Milestones: Define your podcasting goals, whether it's reaching a certain number of listeners, producing a set number of episodes, or establishing yourself as an authority in your niche. Break down these goals into smaller, achievable milestones to keep yourself motivated and track your progress. 3. Equip Yourself with Knowledge and Resources: Research the technical aspects of podcasting, such as recording equipment, editing software, and hosting platforms. There are plenty of online resources, tutorials, and communities available to help you navigate the technicalities of podcast production. 4. Take the First Step: Don't let fear of the unknown hold you back. Start small by recording a pilot episode or even just outlining your podcast format and content. Remember, it's okay to start imperfectly—every podcaster begins somewhere. 5. Practice Resilience and Perseverance: Understand that challenges and setbacks are inevitable on the podcasting journey. Embrace them as opportunities for growth and learning. When faced with obstacles, draw upon your inner strength and determination to push through. 6. Seek Feedback and Iterate: Once you've launched your podcast, solicit feedback from friends, family, and early listeners. Use their insights to refine your content, improve your delivery, and enhance the overall listening experience. Remember, constructive criticism is invaluable for growth. 7. Celebrate Your Progress: Recognize and celebrate your achievements along the way, no matter how small they may seem. Whether it's reaching a milestone episode, receiving positive reviews, or connecting with listeners, take pride in how far you've come on your podcasting journey. By taking

E243 - Moving Your Podcast to a New Podcast Host - 4 things to consider when it is time to move
Episode 243 - Moving Your Podcast to a New Podcast Host - 4 things to consider when it is time to move I recently moved my Podcast Editing and Support Show from Spotify for Podcasters to Captivate.fm I fell in love with what Captivate.fm has done to build the podcasting community and I wanted to participate and support the great things that they do there - we we moved our show. When you move your podcast from one hosting site to another site ther are 4 things that I would like you to keep in mind to make the transition go smoothly. (1) Be sure to not kill your current feed too early. Keep your hosting site active during the transition to ensure that your podcast is fully operational before you cancel your past podcast host. (2) During the transition, stop posting your upcoming episodes to your old feed. Give yourself a gap between hosts by not posting upcoming episodes to your former hosting site. (3) Collect all your old feed stats and data from your old host before closing your hosting site down. Grab screen shots, download the "CSV Files" so that you have the history of your podcast including listener stats, episode stats, everything possible. (4) Once you have set up your new hosting site and redirected your RSS Feed to the new home for your podcast, post your newest podcast episode on your new host. When this new episode goes live, use Pod.Link to see if your newest episode sits at the top of the list as a new release - you can also click through the listening apps to see if your new episode, posted to your new hosting site appears. If so, you have been successful. From this point only post new episodes to your new hosting site http://pod.link/ Bonus tip: If you have previously connected your podcast to YouTube via the RSS Ingestion process, watch to see that your newest episode released via your new host also appears on YouTube. Captivate.fm had to do some digging to ensure that this connection was infact still active with the switch. If you don't see your newest episode appearing on YouTube as it did prior to moving your hosting site - reach out to the support team on your new hosting site to look into it for you. If you are looking for a hosting site to start your show or move your show, check out Captivate.fm We are proud affiliates of Captivate.fm, our recommendations are based on our knowledge and experience with them and their services - using this link will earn us a commission at no extra cost to you https://www.captivate.fm/signup?ref=zwmxowy ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/</stron

Episode 240 - 5 Podcasting Guidelines to Follow, What to Embrace, Enhance & Prioritize NPR's Podcast StartUp Guide Five Rules to podcast by 1 - Be Authentic - If listeners can hear your authenticity, they’ll join in with it. 2 - Prepare - Winging it is not an option, not if you want people to care about what you’re saying. 3 - Leave Room for Discovery - Yes, prepare, but always be open to twists in the road, to reach for insights. 4 - Be Yourself, but better - The version of you on your podcast is a distillation of you. A you that’s sharper. Funnier, probably. Maybe even smarter. Certainly pithier. 5 - Edit - This is the most important rule. It’s a way of focusing your discussion, an opportunity to identify what makes your podcast unique. Do not shirk this. The Book: NPR's Podcast Start Up Guide: Create, Launch, and Grow a Podcast on Any BudgetFrom NPR comes the definitive guide to podcasting - featuring step-by-step advice on how to find a unique topic, tell the best stories, and engage the most listeners, as well as the secrets that will take your pod to the next level.Whoever you are, whatever you love, there’s a podcast audience waiting for you, and in today’s booming audio storytelling landscape, it’s never been easier to share your voice with the world. But while the barrier to entry for podcast production is relatively low (just the cost of a mic and a laptop), the learning curve is steep - and quality matters. That’s where NPR comes in. In NPR’s Podcast Start Up Guide, Glen Weldon draws on NPR’s extensive educational materials and army of talent - from recognizable hosts, such as Guy Raz (How I Built This), Gene Demby (Code Switch), Linda Holmes (Pop Culture Happy Hour), and Yowei Shaw (Invisibilia), to indispensable behind-the-scenes players, such as producers, engineers, and editors - to guide aspiring podcasters through the conception, creation, and launch of a podcast. Part master class, part candid informational interview with the best in the business, this book is a must-have for anyone who wants to make their dream of starting a podcast a reality.

Should You Have Chapters in your Podcast Episode Show Notes
Daily Dave Briefing - Podcasting Tips - Should I have Chapters in your Podcast Episode Notes Unlocking the Power of Podcast Chapters: Enhancing the Listener Experience When a podcast incorporates chapters, listeners can see the chapter titles in their podcast player and easily skip to the section they want to hear. This provides a two-fold benefit: listeners can find a starting point that aligns with their unique interests, and they gain a bird's-eye view of the podcast's overall structure. Should You Add Chapters to Your Podcast?Chapters may not be appropriate for all podcast genres, such as storytelling shows like Snap Judgment or The Moth, where the narrative is meant to be experienced from start to finish. However, for informational podcasts like The Huberman Lab or less structured shows like the Joe Rogan Experience, chapters can be a valuable tool to highlight the "key segments" and provide a roadmap for listeners.As a podcaster, you'll have an intuitive understanding of whether chapters would be a good fit for your content. To get a sense of how chapters "feel," try using a podcast player like Fathom, which can read existing chapter markers or even generate them using AI for podcasts that don't have them. Observing how chapters are used in YouTube videos can also provide helpful insights. Streamlining the Chapter Creation Process Adding chapters manually can be a time-consuming task, requiring you to listen back to your podcast and meticulously place markers or type up the chapter titles. Some podcast hosting platforms, like Buzzsprout, offer built-in tools to simplify this process. However, the chapter creation process can be one of the most arduous parts of podcast production, with some producers listening to their episodes multiple times just to identify the necessary elements, such as chapter markers, social media clips, and audio quality checks. Leveraging AI Tools for Effortless Chapter GenerationTo address this challenge, many podcasters are turning to AI tools like Podium, which can automate the chapter creation process. These tools listen to your podcast, transcribe the audio, and then analyze the transcript to identify the appropriate chapter segments. The result is a formatted output that you can easily add to your show notes, allowing platforms like YouTube and Spotify to display the chapter titles. This AI-powered approach can save you hours of manual work, freeing up your time to focus on other aspects of podcast production. While some may be hesitant to rely on AI, the goal is not to replace your role, but rather to provide a solid foundation that you can then refine and perfect. Conclusion Chapters can be a powerful tool for enhancing the listener experience, but creating them can be a time-consuming task. By leveraging AI-driven chapter generation tools, you can streamline the process and devote more attentio

E239 - 3 Questions For A New Podcaster - Why Are You Thinking of Starting A Podcast
Episode 239 - 3 Questions For A New Podcaster - Why Are You Thinking of Starting A Podcast So, why are you thinking of doing a podcast? Here's an exercise for you to consider Please answer these three questions about your podcast plans: (1) How much time do you have to devote to your podcast? If time is your smallest slice of your pie, maybe you can try publishing shorter epsiodes or less frequent episodes, maybe you can partner with a co-host and share responsibilites and the time requied to create and maintain your podcast (2) How much money do you have to devote to your podcast? If money is your smallest slice of your pie, having a co-host could mean splitting costs, you could use a crowdfunding tool like BuyMeACoffee.com to raise capital funds to run your show - there are ways to make your money slice of your pie bigger! (3) How much passion do you have to do this podcast? Why should you or your listener care about your podcast? Do you love your subject? Doing something that you are by no means passionate about is not sustainable - at all! Identify what your passions are - these are the things that will drive you! If you are not clear on your investment of time, money and passion your audience will pick up on this! Need help developing time, money and passion for your podcast?

E238 - How my YouTube Strategy Differs from other creators - How I made YouTube work for me, not the other way around
Episode 238 - How my YouTube Strategy Differs from other creators - How I made YouTube work for me, not the other way around An Audio only podcast does have a home on YouTube despite the constant railings of "gurus" that preach to podcasters that (in their words) "Fake videos do not belong on YouTube" To these "gurus", a fake video is anything that is not a video. What is your YouTube strategy for your podcast? Do you have a strategy? Mine differs from others in this space based on one simple statement - I do not work for YouTube, YouTube works for me! YouTube is great for your podcast as a backup drive, as a legacy for your content, the ease of connection is simple, searchability is strong to be found, accessibility is ever present with closed captioning and transcripts for free and non-video versions of an audio cast will work for many including marathon true crime podcasters - you don't need to make a movie of your episodes - you have a space on YouTube for your audio only content. If you come across anyone in podcasting that tells you that a free platform should never be trusted because free is a bad business plan - then kindly ask them if they have a Facebook account, or Instagram, or LinkedIn or TikTok - those are all free plans and seem to do suprisingly well as a free platform.

My Binge Breakthrough Story I still vividly remember my first binge – the aftermath of a care package filled with fun-sized candy bars during my first semester in college. Surrounded by empty wrappers, I felt broken and ashamed. Little did I know that this moment would kickstart a 25+ year cycle of restricting and bingeing. Decades of therapy, treatment, and restrictive diets followed. I tried changing my thoughts, seeking control, and navigating two rounds of intensive outpatient therapy. But what I didn't understand was my body, its needs, and how to cultivate trust within myself. It wasn't until I delved into the science of the brain and body, embraced a trauma-informed approach, and filled my journey with compassion that I began to truly transform. I learned to create safety, trust, and connection within myself, reshaping my inner dialogue. Now, my passion lies in helping women who have struggled with food for decades to find food freedom and body trust. My approach is rooted in both science and compassion, offering a path towards healing and self-empowerment. https://www.janepilger.com/ ____ https://howtopodcast.ca/

The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - Newton's Cradle - Simple Desk Toy or Action Incentive to change for podcasters
The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - Newton's Cradle - Simple Desk Toy or Action Incentive to change for podcasters You've probably seen this contraption before: Five small silver balls hang in a perfectly straight line by thin threads that attach them to two parallel horizontal bars, which are in turn attached to a base. They sit on office desks around the world. If you pull a ball up and out and then release it, it falls back and collides with the others with a loud click. Then, instead of all four remaining balls swinging out, only the ball on the opposite end jumps forward, leaving its comrades behind, hanging still. That ball slows to a stop and then falls back, and all five are briefly reunited before the first ball is pushed away from the group again. This is a Newton's cradle, also called a Newton's rocker or a ball clicker. It was so-named in 1967 by English actor Simon Prebble, in honor of his countryman and revolutionary physicist Isaac Newton. Despite its seemingly simple design, the Newton's cradle and its swinging, clicking balls isn't just an ordinary desk toy. It is, in fact, an elegant demonstration of some of the most fundamental laws of physics and mechanics. The toy illustrates the three main physics principles at work: conservation of energy, conservation of momentum and friction. In this article, we'll look at those principles, at elastic and inelastic collisions, and kinetic and potential energy. We'll also examine the work of such great thinkers as Rene Descartes, Christiaan Huygens and Isaac Newton himself. How does this relate to podcasting? What you put out to the world will come back to you in equal measure - whether that is kindess or unkindness, encouragement or discouragement - if you are looking to grow your podcast, help someone else grow their podcast. If you are looking for money for your podcast, give to another podcast. If you want reviews, give reviews. Don't give to get - give to give and it will be returned to you - it might not come back to you exactly as you gave but it will return to you with the same impact, just like Newton's Cradle ___

Episode 230 - Hook, Line, and Listen - Crafting Compelling Podcast Introductions The Significance of a Strong Podcast Introduction Research reveals that podcasts experience a notable drop-off in listenership, ranging from 20 to 35 percent, within the first five minutes—an attention-catching statistic considering the subsequent retention rate. Therefore, the value of crafting an engaging podcast intro becomes evident: failing to captivate your audience within this critical timeframe can lead to lost listenership. Curious about how to craft an enticing introduction? Explore this video for insightful tips on initiating a podcast episode, followed by a comprehensive discussion on the essentials of podcast intros. Crafting an Impactful Podcast Intro A compelling podcast introduction should not only introduce your podcast and its purpose but also entice both new and existing listeners. Effective introductions often include a teaser of forthcoming content to captivate the audience's interest. Incorporating on-brand music or sound effects enhances the overall appeal, while a clear call to action (CTA) encourages listener engagement. For instance, the immensely popular podcast "How I Built This with Guy Raz," recorded using Riverside, exemplifies an exemplary podcast intro. With millions of monthly listeners, this podcast excels in all key aspects of a successful intro: Justification for Listening: The episode seamlessly transitions from a sponsorship message to a teaser of the guest's interview, immediately showcasing the episode's value through a captivating story snippet. Personal Connection: Introducing the podcast's premise and episode theme hooks the audience while setting the tone for an engaging listening experience. Establishing Credibility: By providing a brief overview of the podcast and the episode's guest, the host demonstrates expertise and adds further incentive for continued listening. Setting the Mood: The choice of music complements the show's personality, enhancing the narrative's impact and creating a memorable experience for listeners. Conciseness: Despite the podcast's lengthy episodes, the introduction remains succinct, maintaining audience engagement within a brief timeframe. Effective CTA: Guy Raz encourages listeners to support the podcast by purchasing his book, seamlessly integrating a call to action without detracting from the episode's flow. Crafting Your Podcast Intro When scripting your podcast intro, adhere to these fundamental principles: Clearly state the podcast's name and purpose. Provide compelling reasons for listeners to tune in. Introduce the host and any guests, establishing credibility and fostering audience connection. Ultimately, your podcast intro serve

What I love about Perplexity.ai is that it sources the results when you use it (unlike Chat GPT) This allows you to see where it is pulling the information from in your search and go deeper on your own and to credit sources for your audience. I asked Perplexity.ai this question and this was the result given: Here is a concise answer to the question "four things a new podcaster needs to know before starting a podcast": 1 - Define your "what" and "why" - Clearly identify the topic and purpose of your podcast from the beginning. This will help guide all your other decisions. 2 - Understand the time commitment - Creating and maintaining a quality podcast takes significant time for planning, recording, editing, and publishing. Be realistic about the time required. 3 - Establish a consistent publishing schedule - Commit to releasing new episodes on a regular basis, whether weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. This helps build a loyal listener base. 4 - Invest in quality equipment - Using professional-grade microphones and editing tools will greatly improve your podcast's audio quality and production value. The key is to thoroughly plan and prepare before launching your podcast, rather than rushing into it. Taking the time upfront to define your goals, manage your time, create a schedule, and use the right equipment will set you up for long-term success.

Mastering the art of concise communication is transformative for both creators and listeners. It's not just about being brief; it's about being focused, accurate, and mindful of your audience. Whether you're crafting an episode, a promotional snippet, or a message to your community, concise content can make all the difference in engaging your audience effectively. Here are some strategies to help you craft concise content that resonates with your listeners: Get to the Point: aim to capture your listeners' attention with a few carefully chosen words. Short, impactful statements stick with your audience and leave a lasting impression Clear Communication: By distilling your ideas into their clearest form, you reduce the risk of misunderstandings and keep your audience engaged from start to finish. Respect Your Audience's Time: Recognize that your listeners have limited time and attention. By delivering concise content, you show respect for their busy lives and increase the likelihood that they'll tune in regularly. Practice Makes Perfect: Crafting concise content may take more time and effort initially, but with practice, you'll become more adept at conveying your message succinctly without sacrificing depth or quality. Remember, being concise is not about sacrificing substance; it's about delivering your message in the most impactful way possible. By embracing concision in your podcasting journey, you'll captivate your audience and leave them eager for more. ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

Episode 226 - Book Review NPR's Podcast Start Up Guide - What this book will do for your podcast My thoughts on this podcast book! I listened to the audio version on Audible and then purchased the book, it was that good - a little leaning toward podcasting with a "team" behind you, so keep that in mind. As solo podcasters we do it all, but this book can help and be an ongoing resource as you move forward into podcasting greatness! From NPR comes the definitive guide to podcasting—featuring step-by-step advice on how to find a unique topic, tell the best stories, and engage the most listeners, as well as the secrets that will take your pod to the next level. Whoever you are, whatever you love, there’s a podcast audience waiting for you, and in today’s booming audio storytelling landscape, it’s never been easier to share your voice with the world. But while the barrier to entry for podcast production is relatively low (just the cost of a mic and a laptop), the learning curve is steep—and quality matters. That’s where NPR comes in. In NPR’s Podcast Start Up Guide, Glen Weldon draws on NPR’s extensive educational materials and army of talent—from recognizable hosts, such as Guy Raz ( How I Built This ), Gene Demby ( Code Switch ), Linda Holmes ( Pop Culture Happy Hour ), and Yowei Shaw ( Invisibilia ), to indispensable behind-the-scenes players, such as producers, engineers, and editors—to guide aspiring podcasters through the conception, creation, and launch of a podcast. Part master class, part candid informational interview with the best in the business, this book is a must-read for anyone who wants to make their dream of starting a podcast a reality. https://www.amazon.com/NPRs-Podcast-Start-Up-Guide/

How to Use Zoom to Record Your Podcast, Save Money on Paid Services and Get Amazing Audio
The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - How to Use Zoom to Record, Save Money on Paid Services and Get Amazing Audio There are many online recording platforms that would love to grab your money on a monthly basis to record your solo or guest podcast recording time. Zoom has had a bad rap for poor audio quality, that it is not a podcasting first experience - a lot of gurus will direct you away from zoom (probably because they have an affilate link to get you to use) What if you used zoom differently - I use zoom as a backup recording not my main recording. When I have a guest on my show I open audacity (free program) in the background and hit record as my guest joins me via zoom. Audacity is recording my microphone directly into the computer - no wifi drop outs to worry about. If you were to ask your guest to do the very same on their end, recording their audio via their microphone into their computer you end up with 2 separate recordings, one from your end and one from their end, shared via a free Google Drive link that you can assemble after the interview is over in Audacity. Zoom therefore becomes a backup recording, providing you the opportunity to see your guest on screen during the recording which helps with visual cues, interaction and a better recording experience. So I will encourage you to use zoom where others won't Record locally and separately and use zoom as a backup There you go! That's it! If you want to practice with someone, use my calendar link on my website and we can use, wait for it... Zoom and I can walk you thru all of this!

International Women's Day 2024 - There’s a Desire for More Women-hosted Podcasts
The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - International Women's Day 2024 There’s a Desire for More Women-hosted Shows Some think that because women make up nearly half of the listenership, it’s pointless to craft content catering to one gender over the other. However, audience data says that is NOT TRUE! There is a great need and desire for more stories that include specific female perspectives. Plus, we know from experience that when you focus in on an audience, you’ll have a better time creating content that actually adds value to your listeners’ lives. Female listeners: Crave podcasts with more female stories and perspectives. Want to hear unfiltered conversations that aren’t found anywhere else. Are on the hunt for more representation from women of colour. Oh, and over half of female listeners said they would listen to more podcasts if they were female-hosted. About 90% of monthly female podcast listeners already have at least one show on their roster that is female hosted or produced. Here’s a glimpse at what else each demographic currently listen to — Just a little something-something for your brand to think of while you’re finetuning your concept Source: Women’s Podcast Report ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

Facebook and Instagram are down yet again causing content creators, communities and interaction with a content creator's audience to grind to a halt - why are we building our entire world on any given social platform? Facebook, Instagram, and Threads are coming back online following an outage lasting about two hours. The three Meta-owned platforms stopped working for many users starting around 10AM ET. Some users experienced issues logging in to their Meta Quest headsets, too. Facebook logged users out of their accounts, while Instagram users couldn’t refresh their feeds, and Threads displayed a message saying, “Sorry, something went wrong. Try again.” Reports on Downdetector rapidly spiked for all three platforms , while network tracker NetBlocks noted the issue’s global impact. WhatsApp appeared to be unaffected and kept working. Meta acknowledged the issue on its status page with a message timestamped 10:17AM ET, reading, “We are aware of an issue impacting Facebook Login. Our engineering teams are actively looking to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.” As of 12:07PM ET, the status page said Meta is “recovering from an earlier outage impacting Facebook Login, and services are in the process of being restored.” https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/5/24091207/meta-outage-facebook-instagram-threads-down-signed-out Get your own domain site and build a world not dependant on if a social media platform rises or falls - they owe you nothing as a user - build your content and community somewhere that you own the keys to!

E214 - Foundations of Podcast Success - Navigating Quality Content and Patience
Episode 214 - Foundations of Podcast Success - Navigating Quality Content & Patience Podcasting Foundations: Building on Two Essential Pillars Before delving into our top promotional strategies, let’s pause to evaluate the bedrock of our podcasting endeavor. We'll start by examining the two fundamental pillars of successful podcasting: quality content and patience. It's crucial to ensure that what we're currently producing merits promotion and to maintain realistic expectations regarding the timeline for achieving success. Quality Content: Marketing a subpar product is futile. No amount of investment, creative marketing tactics, or desperate attempts will breathe life into a lackluster podcast. Thus, before embarking on the journey of podcast marketing, it's imperative to ensure that the content is of commendable quality. What defines quality content? It must embody the following attributes: Valuable: Each episode should offer something beneficial to listeners, whether imparting new knowledge or skills, providing entertainment, or satisfying curiosity. Unique: Your podcast's perspective should contribute something fresh to the discourse. Assess your distinctiveness by comparing against others in your niche and refining differentiating factors. Engaging: Your podcast must capture and retain the audience's interest. If current listeners aren't consistently engaged, prioritize enhancing the content. Study similar podcasts' formats, content, and structure, considering ways to incorporate and improve upon their features. The most effective long-term strategy for podcast promotion is rooted in providing genuine value. While gimmicks and shortcuts may yield short-term gains, they lack sustainability. Rather than chasing fleeting marketing trends, focus on cultivating value through authentic relationships and high-quality content. Patience: Having established a foundation of quality content, shift your focus to the second essential pillar: patience. Just as Rome wasn't built in a day, growing a podcast audience takes time. It's essential to remember that many hosts produce content for several months before witnessing significant increases in listenership. This means persistently promoting episodes, even if initial engagement is minimal. Don't be disheartened; podcast marketing is a long-term endeavor. Trust in the fact that promoting a podcast is a gradual process, and audience growth hinges on consistently delivering compelling content over time. ____ https://howtopodcast.ca/

E212 - Why People Tune Out of Your Podcasts and How to Keep Them Listening
Episode 212 - Why People Tune Out of Your Podcasts and How to Keep Them Listening Why People Tune Out of Your Podcasts and How to Keep Them Listening In the realm of podcasting, capturing and retaining audience attention is a vital endeavor. However, it's not uncommon for hosts to wonder why their listenership might dwindle over time. Fortunately, the solution may lie in a relatively simple fix. Here are some actionable tips to enhance your podcasting game and ensure that your audience remains engaged. The Importance of Audio Quality: Picture this: You're eagerly tuning in to a new podcast episode, only to be greeted by muffled voices, distracting background noises, or erratic volume levels. It's hardly an enjoyable experience, is it? Quality audio isn't just a nicety in today's competitive landscape—it's a necessity. It ensures that your message is conveyed clearly and crisply, holding your audience's attention from the first minute to the last. Conveying Professionalism: Top-notch audio isn't merely about delivering a pleasant listening experience; it also signifies professionalism and dedication to your craft. By presenting your content with pristine sound quality, you demonstrate a commitment to excellence and a respect for your audience's time. This professionalism fosters trust and credibility, key ingredients for building a devoted following. Shaping Your Brand Image: Your podcast's audio quality serves as a reflection of your brand identity. A polished and professional sound sets you apart from the competition, leaving a lasting impression on your listeners. It not only enhances your brand's reputation but also opens doors to potential collaborations and sponsorships, further solidifying your position in the market. The Role of an Audio Editor: Enter the audio editor—a crucial ally in your quest for podcasting excellence. These professionals possess the expertise and technical prowess needed to elevate your audio to the next level. By enlisting their services, you can focus on crafting compelling content while leaving the intricacies of audio editing in capable hands. Benefits of Hiring an Audio Editor: Expertise: Audio editing is a specialized skill that requires precision and finesse. By hiring an audio editor, you tap into their knowledge and experience, ensuring that your podcast sounds its best. Time Efficiency: Editing audio can be a time-consuming endeavor, particularly for those unfamiliar with the process. Outsourcing this task to a professional allows you to allocate your time more efficiently, focusing on content creation and audience engagement. Consistency: An audio editor ensures consistency across episodes, maintaining a uniform level of quality that reinforces your brand identity and enhances the overall listening experience for your audience.</

Episode 209 - Understanding Analytics, What Stats Mean, and What Stat You Should Focus on To Grow Your Show in 2024 We take a look under the hood at the topic of Analytics and Stats - what stat should you focus on this year? We talk about downloading your Geographic Location list of your listenership and how you can upload this entire list into Google Maps - pinning all these listeners on a global map so that you can witness your total global domination! What a fun exercise - here is a YouTube link on how to do this in Google Maps https://youtu.be/XN_VuNJXsTQ?si=4JphitOuRkf39bae How long your listeners actual stick around for each of your episodes is more important than a 5 star rating for your show - I know this might not sit well with all of you, but a complete listen by your audience for every episode is a better signal to each of the players that there is value in your content - and, a 5 star rating can be purchased - check your email! You will see this often as you continue podcasting! A 5 star rating can be gamed and purchased and it is more of a vanity metric really, no, c'mon, really!

Spotify For Podcasters Joins With Riverside.fm and Removes Some Native Features
The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - Spotify For Podcasters Joins With Riverside.fm and Removes Some Native Features Podcasting has evolved quite a bit since its early days. As a format, it is increasingly becoming more visual and interactive, with more people around the world creating, listening, and engaging with the medium than ever before. And while the core vision of Spotify for Podcasters has remained — to make podcasting so brilliantly simple that anyone, anywhere, can share their voice with the world — like podcasting itself, we’ve expanded our purpose over time. Today we are focused on helping you reach larger, more global audiences and giving you the tools to develop meaningful, authentic connections with those fans. To that end, we have a couple of important updates to share as they relate to some of our features on Spotify for Podcasters.

E207 - Foster enduring intimacy that captivates and retains an audience
Episode 207 - Foster enduring intimacy that captivates and retains an audience Fostering enduring intimacy that captivates and retains an audience is paramount. Here are a few guiding principles I'd like to impart: Authenticity : Strive to be genuine. Avoid contrived attempts to win over listeners. Authenticity resonates deeply and invites engagement. It's the cornerstone of connection, although not the sole rule to prioritize. Preparation : While spontaneity can inject freshness, thorough preparation is essential. Respect your audience's investment by delivering your best. Carefully plan your narrative arcs, questions, and wording to ensure coherence and depth. Embrace Discovery : Invite your audience into your thought process. Engage them by revealing your journey, allowing for unexpected turns and insights. Balance preparation with flexibility to foster genuine exploration together. Enhance Yourself : Be true to yourself, but elevate your presentation. When the recording starts, shed the rules and simply shine. Your podcast persona should be a refined, more compelling version of yourself—sharp, witty, and engaging. Edit Ruthlessly : Editing is paramount. It refines your content, ensuring it feels natural and cohesive. Trim distractions, refine jokes, and eliminate verbal tics. Editing isn't deceitful; it's a service to your audience, sharpening your podcast's unique identity. In summary, embark on your podcasting journey with confidence. Strive for brilliance, warmth, and humor while holding yourself to high standards. Enjoy the process, and your audience will too. ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

E206 - CO-HOST - Paloma Bartschi - Building a Membership, AI Tools, SpeakPipe and Buy Me A Coffee
Episode 206 - CO-HOST - Paloma Bartschi - Building a Membership, AI Tools, SpeakPipe and Buy Me A Coffee Born in the year of the horse Paloma felt drawn to these great creatures from an early age. At the age of five, she took her first riding lesson. She looks back now to over 40 years of riding experience of which she was blessed to share 21 years with her Islandic Horse companion Ljomi. The animals have always been her friends and until her teens they were connected by a very special bond. As she grew older, however, she lost part of that connection like most of us do through the distractions of life. For awhile she didn’t know how to get it back. Her professional career was taking her in a completely different direction from her natural gifts. Then in the summer of 1998 she had a key experience which led her back to the animals and nature. That was when a horse talked to her. Paloma started studying to become an animal communicator and did not stop there. She studied different ways of interacting with nature and learned from ancient wisdom and how our ancestors were connected with animals, plants and all of creation. During the past 14 years Paloma has talked to thousands of animals and has helped hundreds of people have a better connection to their animal companions. Today she is exclusively committed to spreading the animals’ messages, teaching animal communication, giving individual consultations of animal communication and also doing life energy consultations. She is happy and grateful to be able to share information with people to help them create a continuous joyful and harmonious bond with their animal companions and nature.

E205 - Solo Podcasting , Navigating Loneliness, Mental Health for Solo Podcasters
Episode 205 - Solo Podcasting , Navigating Loneliness, Mental Health for Solo Podcasters Acknowledging the Solo Podcaster's Unique Mental Health Challenges : Isolation and Loneliness : Solo podcasters often spend hours recording, editing, and promoting episodes alone, which can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness. Pressure to Perform : Without co-hosts or a team to share responsibilities, solo podcasters may feel the weight of the entire production process, leading to burnout and stress. Imposter Syndrome : Being the sole voice of a podcast can exacerbate imposter syndrome, as solo hosts may constantly doubt their abilities or feel inadequate compared to others in the industry. Strategies for Maintaining Mental Wellness : Build a Support Network : Actively seek out communities of fellow podcasters or join online forums where you can connect with others who understand the unique challenges of solo podcasting. Having a support network can provide validation, encouragement, and practical advice. Schedule Breaks and Boundaries : Set clear boundaries around your podcasting schedule to prevent burnout. Incorporate regular breaks during recording and editing sessions, and prioritize self-care activities outside of podcasting to recharge your mental batteries. Practice Self-Compassion : Combat imposter syndrome by practicing self-compassion and acknowledging your accomplishments. Remind yourself that it's normal to feel uncertain or anxious at times, and focus on the value you provide to your audience rather than comparing yourself to others. Fostering Sustainable Podcasting Practices : Diversify Your Content : Inject variety into your podcast by incorporating guest interviews, listener Q&A sessions, or collaborative episodes with other creators. Not only does this break up the monotony of solo recording, but it also expands your network and brings fresh perspectives to your audience. Invest in Personal Growth : Dedicate time to honing your podcasting skills through learning opportunities such as workshops, courses, or mentorship programs. Investing in your personal growth not only improves the quality of your content but also boosts your confidence as a solo podcaster. Regularly Evaluate and Adjust : Periodically assess your podcasting process and mental well-being. Pay attention to signs of burnout or declining mental health, and be willing to adjust your approach as needed. Remember that prioritizing your mental wellness ultimately leads to a more sustainable and fulfilling podcasting journey. Summary Practical Takeaway:

E204 - Building Community - Authenticly Engaging Your Solo Podcast Audience
Episode 204 - Building Community - Authenticly Engaging Your Solo Podcast Audience Authentic Engagement Through Social Media Presence: As a solo podcaster, your social media presence serves as a vital bridge between you and your audience. Use platforms like Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook not just to promote episodes but also to interact with your listeners. Respond to comments, ask for feedback, and share behind-the-scenes glimpses of your podcasting process. By actively engaging with your audience on social media, you humanize your podcast and foster a sense of community where listeners feel valued and connected. Interactive Content and Listener Involvement: Break the barrier between you and your audience by incorporating interactive elements into your solo podcast. Whether it's through Q&A segments, listener-submitted stories or questions, or even live streaming sessions, give your audience opportunities to actively participate in your podcasting journey. By inviting listener involvement, you not only deepen the connection with your audience but also make them feel like integral contributors to the content you produce, thereby strengthening the sense of community around your podcast. Building a Dedicated Community Through Consistent Communication: Consistency is key to building a loyal and engaged audience for your solo podcast. Establish regular communication channels with your listeners, whether through weekly newsletters, monthly updates, or exclusive bonus content for subscribers. By consistently delivering valuable and engaging content outside of your podcast episodes, you nurture a sense of belonging among your audience members. This ongoing dialogue helps sustain interest in your podcast and encourages listeners to become active participants in your podcasting community. Summary Practical Takeaway: In the realm of solo podcasting, community-building is not just a beneficial strategy but a fundamental aspect of success. To effectively engage your solo podcast audience and foster a sense of belonging: Consistently engage with your audience on social media platforms, responding to comments, seeking feedback, and sharing personal insights. Incorporate interactive elements into your podcast episodes to encourage listener participation and make them feel like valued contributors. Maintain consistent communication with your audience through newsletters, updates, and exclusive content, nurturing a dedicated community around your solo podcast. Remember, in solo podcasting, your audience isn't just listening; they're actively participating in the conversation. By prioritizing community engagement, you can transform your solo endeavor into a collaborative and enriching experience for both you and your audience. ___ <a href="htt

E201 - The Freedom of Solo Podcasting - Unleashing Your Voice
Episode 201 - The Freedom of Solo Podcasting - Unleashing Your Voice - Complete Creative Control: Solo podcasting empowers you with complete creative control over your content. Unlike collaborative efforts where compromises might be necessary, solo podcasting allows you to shape your narrative, choose your topics, and control the overall direction of your show. This independence fosters a unique and authentic expression of your voice, ensuring that your podcast is a genuine reflection of your thoughts, ideas, and style. - Flexibility in Scheduling and Content Creation: One of the key advantages of solo podcasting is the unparalleled flexibility it provides in both scheduling and content creation. You are not bound by the coordination of multiple schedules or dependent on others for your podcast's progress. This flexibility enables you to adapt to your own rhythm, experiment with different formats, and even respond to current events promptly. As a solo podcaster, you have the freedom to pivot and evolve your content organically without external constraints, making your podcast a dynamic and personal endeavor. - Deep Connection with Your Audience: Solo podcasting fosters a more intimate connection between you and your audience. Listeners often seek a personal and authentic experience, and solo podcasting allows you to create a direct and unfiltered connection with your audience. Sharing personal anecdotes, reflections, and insights can make your podcast more relatable and build a stronger bond with your listeners. This deep connection can lead to a dedicated audience who resonates with your individual voice and perspective. Practical Takeaway: As a solo podcaster, embrace the freedom to experiment with various formats, styles, and content. Use the flexibility in scheduling to adapt to your own pace and rhythm. However, remember that consistency is key; maintain a regular posting schedule to keep your audience engaged. Additionally, prioritize building a personal connection with your audience by sharing authentic stories and insights. Consider incorporating listener feedback and engagement to make your podcasting odyssey a shared experience. ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

E200 - The Two Types of People - How To Demonstrate Confidence as a Podcaster
Episode 200 - The Two Types of People - How To Demonstrate Confidence as a Podcaster Dave does an exaggerated, self-indulgent intro to shed light on podcasters that puff themselves up in their podcast - a little tongue and cheek, but it seems in podcasting that some podcasters are way to inwardly focused at the expense of those that they come in contact with - what type of person are you when you enter the room, join a conversation or host your show? Be a more confident podcaster by making the choice to move from a "Here I Am" person to a "There You Are" person. Self-aggrandizing is acting or intending to enhance one's power, wealth, position, or reputation - this elevation of oneself over others repels and does not compell your audience to lean in to you as a person or to your podcast. We need to create a space that invites others in - make your show about others and everyone will benefit! ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

If so, you’ll find your happy place here at Creative Groove! We offer classes , community , and coaching around writing, creativity, freelance success, and the Artist’s Way . Pull up a chair (or magic carpet)—all are welcome here. Jen is the founder of Creative Groove and what Emilie Wapnick would call a multi-potentialite. I often joke that I’ve had nine professional lives, having worked in various capacities in entertainment, journalism, event planning, education, and as a solopreneur. The common threads that tie my eclectic career path together? Creativity and storytelling. I’m also a Diet Coke devotee, twin mama, and California girl-turned-Clevelander who’s passionate about helping others get their groove back…and I’m so glad you’re here! Here’s how we define “creative groove:” a state of flow in which anything feels possible. Over time, it’s easy to become burnt out, disconnected, or just blah—thanks to the demands of the daily grind or a gradual misalignment with our values and goals. At Creative Groove, we serve as what Artist’s Way author Julia Cameron would call a “creative chiropractor” to help you get back in alignment and reignite your spark. Our goal is to empower you to find your version of flow (and have fun along the way)!

EPISODE 198 - Podcasting Success: Embrace Your Multipotentialite Superpower Welcome to another episode of "How to Podcast Series," the go-to podcast for podcasters navigating the exciting journey of starting and growing their shows. Today we've got something special for all you budding podcasters out there. Ever felt like you have many interests and creative pursuits, making it challenging to answer the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Well, you might just be a multipotentialite, and guess what? It could be your superpower. We're delving into the world of multipotentialites with insights from Emilie Wapnick, an award-winning author and community builder. Emilie coined the term to describe individuals like themself with diverse passions and creative pursuits. So, if you've ever felt a bit lost or misunderstood in a world that favors specialization, you're not alone. What do the legendary figures - Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, Maya Angelou, and Richard Branson shared this unique trait. Now, let's simplify the concept and explore the clues that might indicate you're a multipotentialite. Clue 1: Non-Linear Career Path Do you find yourself switching between different roles, companies, and industries that may seem unrelated? Multipotentialites have diverse career paths, applying transferable skill sets across disciplines. Now, think about how your podcasting journey can embrace this diversity. Clue 2: Idea Generation Are you constantly coming up with new ideas, perhaps more than you can handle? For multipotentialites, generating ideas is a passion, and they excel at it. Imagine infusing this into your podcast, keeping the content fresh and engaging for your audience. Let's ask ourselves three crucial questions based on what we've covered: Do you often find yourself drawn to various topics and struggle to stick to just one for your podcast? Are you someone who thrives on generating ideas and has a list of potential podcast projects? Can you envision your podcast evolving dynamically, embracing change and offering a variety of content to your audience? These questions serve as a compass to navigate your unique strengths in the podcasting landscape. Remember, being a multipotentialite is not a limitation but a strength. Embrace it, and let your podcast shine! ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

Episode 196 - CO-HOST - Brad Nelson - The Debt Free Dad Podcast, Creating Community, Hats and Ice Cream Dave welcomes Brad from The Debt Free Dad Podcast - a great money smart podcast with great heart and great advice! More about Brad: Brad has dedicated his life to serving and helping people with their personal finances. He provides an eye-opening outlook on debt and money that challenge today's popular thinking through speaking, The Debt Free Dad Podcast, social media, and his online membership site, Roots of Personal Finance, which has helped people save and pay off tens-of-millions of dollars. Like many, Brad struggled with living paycheck-to-paycheck, debt, and the constant hamster wheel of never-ending payments for much of his adult life. After losing his home to foreclosure and his first marriage ending in 2012, Brad decided enough was enough and went on a journey to become debt-free. After 4-5 years of hard work, he paid off all his debt and has been debt-free for over ten years outside of his mortgage. Many people struggle with money and debt. Brad teaches a simple process to help people develop a healthier financial mindset. Learn how to save money and eliminate debt, allowing them to take control of their finances so they can do more of what they love. Brad uses his personal story to relate to others. He provides practical steps and advice for a new financial plan that shows people how to win and live a stress-free and debt-free life. Brad is a single and dedicated father to his two kids, Noah, and Avery. Brad has encountered many obstacles on his journey. In 2018, his wife Sarah gave birth to their daughter Avery. Avery was born with a brain injury and was later diagnosed with Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy and Cerebral Palsy. Being debt-free allowed him and his wife to put all of their efforts into getting the care that Avery needed. Thankfully, today, Avery is thriving and living a normal life, and Brad contributes her progress to the time they've spent on Avery's therapy and care since birth. In March 2023, Brad tragically lost his wife, Sarah, to a battle with mental illness and suicide. Again, Brad and his financial life were tested, but because of the work they put in on their finances leading up to this tragic event, he has remained debt-free while allowing him and his kids to grieve and begin to build a new life. Brad's a normal guy with everyday life challenges, and he is using his experiences and story to encourage and motivate others to improve their financial health for themselves and their family. When Brad isn't helping people with their finances, he loves to continue his education through reading and conferences. His family is the most important. They spend a significant amount of time camping and being outdoors. Brad puts a lot of value in experiences and making memories. The Debt Free Dad Podcast <p

Yes – so I’ll quit rambling on here and get busy on other things. https://tonofquestions.com/ ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

E193 - Brian Teague - At The Table Podcast, How Often To Release An Episode, Interview Tips
EPISODE 193 - Brian Teague - At The Table Podcast, How Often To Release An Episode, Interview Tips I am a husband and father with a passion for family, and growing the kingdom by sharing my life and experiences and investing in others. From growing up to walking on at Oregon to marriage and raising kids, I want to share the things that life has taught me in order to help others. Brian Teague is a husband, father, and former educator who fell in love with Houston when he moved here with his wife 7 years ago. As a graduate of the University of Oregon and a football alumnus, he left school and tried his hand at a few different industries, but nothing seemed to be a good fit. That’s when he decided to use his experience on the field and start coaching. Coaching soon turned into applying for Teach for America to become a teacher. Brian and Chandra decided that if he got into TFA they would go wherever they were sent because it was only for 2 years. years later, our 2 children were born in Texas, and with roots growing deeper each year they fell in love with the culture, diversity, and love that Houston offered. After spending 7 years in the classroom teaching Brian started to feel called to something different. Having a passion for family and wanting to serve a city and community that has given him and his family a home for good he decided it was time to give that love back. We Love HTX Inc. was founded in January of 2023 and is now his full-time labor of love. With plans to launch services and start to help families all over the city this Fall, we can’t wait to see what this will grow into and are committed to serving families from any background and with any situation in order to help them find the resources necessary to make it through whatever life throws their way. Houston has given us a community that we love so much and we want to help other families find their place in their community in order to help it grow and thrive. https://www.brianjustasteague.com/ ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

E189 - CO-HOST - Fatima Bey - The Mind Shifter - Be Everywhere, Be Real and Be Different
EPISODE 189 - CO-HOST - Fatima Bey - The Mind Shifter - Be Everywhere, Be Real and Be Different About our guest co-host - Being a MindShift Coach is something I have been doing my whole life. It is only in recent years that I decided to give it a name and make a living from it. You see, none of us were born to work just to pay bills. On the contrary, you were born with a purpose and you should make a living doing it. As The MindShifter, I am doing just that. My journey of struggle, self-discovery and building has equipped me to help others. I have always had a lot of personality, but what was hidden underneath that was a girl with very low self-esteem and no confidence. I had no clue who I really was or the power and purpose I was born with. I can now stand bold, strong, and with confidence. My relationship with God is a large part of that because I know exactly who I am and what I was put here on earth to do! It’s really your thinking that decides your failure or success, more than means or opportunity. I know this because I am living it. Since I began my journey as The MindShifter I became a writer for Blessings Magazine, a radio personality with a segment called The MindShifter on Blessings Radio out of Albany, NY, have been a guest speaker at various events and schools, started a YouTube channel and started the MindShift Power Podcast. I was also honored to win 2022 Best Of Albany in the category of life coach. I am also an award winning dual entrepreneur. I own MyAbishai where I am a Master Seamstress, Wedding Gown Designer, and Sewing Teacher. If you would like to learn more or have any particular questions, my contact information is below. Please be sure to gain from some of my free life teachings by subscribing to my YouTube channel linked below and follow me on social media. Also check out the Media/Awards page. Thanks for reading this until the end! MindShift Power Podcast is for teens, about teens, and anyone who works with teens. Many of the guests will be teens from all over the US and Canada. We will discuss issues that involve teens. Solutions start with conversations. Real conversations can not happen unless we are honest. For this reason guests will be able to speak their minds without the chains of extreme political correctness, something desperately needed in today's society. You will hear the real raw truths of where the minds of our youths are today. You will also hear from those who teach, work with, or create programs for youth of any kind. We will talk about the problems teens are dealing with but also discuss solutions. The main goals of this podcast is to bridge the large existing gap between teens and the adults who are trying to create solutions for them and for teens to hear what other teens are thinking or going through and realize that they are not alone. If you are a teen and want to know what other teens are really going through, are really thinking, or you want to come up with a solution for

Asking for a 5 Star Review is Simply A Plea To Stroke Our Podcast Ego
The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - Asking for a 5 Star Review is Simply A Plea to Stroke Our Podcast Ego If we could agree for a moment that if 5 stars is the best rating possible ranking that we can give for a podcast or a podcast episode, does that also then imply that what we are listening to is absolutely perfect - no room for improvement? I fear that requesting a 5 star review is not a realistic ask of our community - I propose instead, that we ask for a realistic review and constructive feedback rather than a perfect score. I want each episode to strive towards perfection but I want to also be realistic that I know that I can continue to improve on all aspects of my podast - so to that end, I don't feel that any of my 8 different podcasts demand a 5 star rating from you - I would much rather have a conversation with you virtually, via speak pipe or by email on how this podcast and how I as a host can serve you better - that means more to me than a simple 5 stars. Is it realistic to ask your audience to stroke your podcasting ego with a 5 star review for everything that you release into the world? Really? I think we need to relook at our ask of those that listen to our show - and that is why I do not end my podast with a plea for your review and rating. Just a thought for you to ponder - agree or disagree, I would absoluetly love to meet and chat with you more over at my website https://howtopodcast.ca/

EPISODE 178 - CO-Host - Sabrina Hammonds - Learn How to be a better guest and How an Agency Can Help You Get On More Podcasts More about our guest - I absolutely love hearing about what God is doing in the lives of people. And even more than that, I am passionate about helping others fulfill their purpose and expand their reach. Hello…I’m Sabrina I am a wife and mother of 4 and I just recently gained a beautiful new daughter. I chose to step away from working full time as a teacher in order to be home more with my family. As someone who has walked through a lot in my life, I believe we all have our own transformation story and when shared, it can provide hope and encouragement to others. My journey to podcast booking began with one prayer. Robyn was a woman who I went to church with. A woman that I only knew from a distance, so I wasn’t sure why the Lord had told me to pray for her. As I would pray, the Lord began to give me a supernatural love for her. My relationship with Robyn grew as I sent her my love and prayers. From there, the Lord said to start praying for her business. Through my prayers and our relationship, I learned that she had an incredible testimony and message that I believed others needed to hear. I approached Robyn about helping her share her testimony and she quickly responded by saying that the lord had already told her she was supposed to speak to many. From there, the Lord has sent more women that I’m honored to partner with and their stories and journey’s continue to grow. How exciting it would be to add your story to that journey! https://kcpodcastagency.com/ ___ https://livingthenextchapter.com/ podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/

Past guests, podcast friends and listeners alike have been sending toughts, prayers, love and encouraging words that I have been sharing with my family and with my Mom. It has been a very difficult few days, but I wanted to release a short epiosde to thank all of you for your kindness. When I started a podcast I wasn't totally prepared for the impact of shared voices via the internet - the connections made, the new friendships and the great conversations that have happened with and without a microphone. For those that have been following these past few days thank you, and for those that might be here for the very first time, thank you for pressing play. A podcast can be entertainment, a diversion or company - but for me as a podcast host, it has become deeper and far richer by having you as apart of this community. I am looking forward to more amazing conversations in the future, and Mom if you can still hear my podcast wherever you are, I hope you know that we are always thinking of you. On behalf of my Mom Sharon, our immediate and extended family - to you, thank you.

E173 - CO-HOST - Elizabeth Burrows - Authentic Expressions - The Life Edit Project Podcast
EPISODE 173 - CO-HOST - Elizabeth Burrows - Authentic Expressions - The Life Edit Project Podcast Elizabeth C. Burrows ...and I'm a recovering busy-body and overachiever. I spent the first three decades of my life doing all the things just to prove that I could. That worked well enough until I became a mom. Then suddenly, I realized I wasn't superwoman and everything changed. I was tired and overwhelmed, and I felt completely inadequate all the time. I almost buckled under the pressure. And the worst part is that I was needlessly applying this pressure to myself. So I did the unthinkable and started looking for help. And you know where I found the answers I needed? They were already within me. Mindset coaching and thought work helped me find lasting solutions to the problems that I had been creating for myself for so long. I found a way to sort through the noise to focus on what mattered most to me. Now, my life is set up to revolve around my own priorities, instead of the ones prescribed to me by others. I found freedom from trying to be all things to all people. And in freeing myself, I unleashed my greatest potential. About the Life Edit Project I created the Life Edit Project as platform to share the personal development tools and resources that I love with others on a similar journey. Eventually, I became a life coach to help people get better results, more quickly. Over the years, I have coached more than 130 individuals, and reached many more people through group coaching, training sessions, workshops, and public speaking stages. In 2023, I launched the Life Edit Project Podcast to help busy high-achievers create balance in any area of their lives. The episodes are fun and digestible, with new episodes published each Wednesday. Be sure to subscribe and follow the podcast wherever you like to listen. Be sure to check out the blog for practical tips and ideas to help you make the most of every aspect of your life. And don't miss the free resources on the homepage, designed to help you use habits and rituals to get the most out of your days. When you're ready to take your work even deeper, you can purchase the Authentic Expressions workbook to start or enhance your journaling practice, or purchase a 1:1 coaching package to work directly with me. https://lifeeditproject.com/ ___ Everything you need to start a podcast - https://howtopodcast.ca/ Leave Dave a message - https://www.speakpipe.com/HelloDave Get a podcast review of your show! - https://podcastfeedback.ca/

The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - The Daily Santa Podcast Returns December First and Find Us On The KidsPod App
The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - The Daily Santa Podcast Returns December First and Find Us On The KidsPod App The Daily Santa Podcast has found a new home on the amazing KidsPod App - A fun and safe way to listen to podcasts made for kids. [BOZEMAN, MT, USA, June 22, 2023 —] Tech start-up KidsPod Co. is thrilled to announce the launch of the KidsPod mobile app – a new podcast platform that revolutionizes listening for kids ages 3-13. Designed and developed in partnership with kids’ tech expert Dubit Limited , the app is the first of its kind to present over 300 kids’ podcasts in a visual, intuitive and safe way. Founded by parents who were frustrated by the lack of accessibility and discoverability in the kids genre, KidsPod’s mission is to connect families all over the world to the power of audio. “We believe podcasts benefit children and adults in much the same way,” said Jessica Ray, CEO and co-founder. “But for kids, who learn by listening more so than reading, they are absolutely transformational. Kids’ podcasts democratize the internet and education in a way unlike anything else. They are also a great parenting hack – absolute guilt-free screen time.” With 71% of parents concerned that their child is spending too much time on screens, many will find KidsPod an easy way to cut down on screen time while still using a device. According to Dubit’s CEO Matthew Warneford, "The launch of KidsPod is just perfect timing for the audiences it appeals to, as our research has shown that 3-13 year olds listening to music and podcasts on mobile devices is up over 30% year on year. We have loved working on such an innovative and safe product for children, and expect to see it grow fast amongst those age groups!" KidsPod offers both free and paid subscription options: the free version includes unlimited listening to every show on the app and follows the founders’ commitment to keeping kids podcasts open and available to all. The paid version ($4.99 per month/$34.99 per year) unlocks additional listening features like individual user profiles, a favorites library, offline listening, playlist creation, and one of their more innovative features – an in-app coloring book. “Just like adults, kids like to multitask while they listen,” said co-founder and Head of Content Rachel Lacy. “Podcast creators are already publishing coloring pages and activities on their websites, but that’s one more thing a child can’t safely access on their own.” By bringing those resources in the app, kids can color or doodle as they listen – without needing an adult. Rachel adds, “While we fell in love with the screen-free nature of audio enterta

E163 - CO-HOST - Sound Guy Fletch - Sound Better With Great Audio Tips From an Expert
EPISODE 163 - CO-HOST - Sound Guy Fletch - Sound Better With Great Audio Tips From an Expert A Commitment to Producing Flawless Records Based in Manchester, UK, I began my audio journey at the age of 13 when I started learning how to DJ at my local youth club. At the end of Yr9 (aged 14), I left school and was home schooled for my 2 GCSE years. I used that time to not only keep learning how to DJ, but also learn production. This became a huge passion of mine then at age 16, I went to college to study Music Technology. It was there that I first went into a ‘proper’ studio and knew, that’s what I want to do with my life. Fast forward to now, I’ve spent most of my young adult life working on music. From doing sessions in my bedroom to engineering gigs around the country. I’ve worked with everything from international touring artists to bedroom producers and everything in between. I also own 2 other businesses, a Podcast Production company and a live sound hire company too. https://soundguyfletch.wixsite.com/soundguyfletch https://linktr.ee/soundguyfletch https://www.youtube.com/@SoundGuyFletch ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

As the first thing listeners hear from your show, it can determine whether they keep listening to your podcast or bail and go listen to one of the millions of others instead. You got them this far — maybe through word of mouth, your reputation, or your killer cover art — now it’s time to seal the deal. And while first impressions get most of the glory, the final impression can be equally important. Your podcast outro is your chance to turn first-time listeners into subscribers. Get them excited about your next episode, and let them know where to find out more about the episode they just heard, follow you on social media, and so on. Here are some guidelines that you can reference when constructing your next podcast intro! Remember - your next episode might just be a new listener's first time hearing your show - they know nothing about you, the many episodes that you have recorded in your past, they only know you right here, right now - your intro should be welcoming and warm! Who is the show for this should be clarified within the first few minutes Why should they listen to this particular episode?

E154 - Four Common Podcast Myths Debunked - Don't Let These Myths Derail Your Podcast
EPISODE 154 - Four Common Podcast Myths Debunked - Don't Let These Myths Derail Your Podcast Debunking 4 Podcasting Myths Before diving headfirst into the world of podcasting, it's essential to conduct due diligence and approach it with a healthy dose of skepticism. You want to ensure that you start on the right foot. However, it's equally important to differentiate between risk reduction and needless worry, especially if you've encountered misconceptions or outright falsehoods along the way. That's why we're here to debunk podcasting myths and separate fact from fiction. "Podcasts are only for tech-savvy people" One common misconception is that podcasting is a complex task reserved for tech-savvy individuals. While it's true that podcasting requires some basic tech knowledge, access to podcasts has become remarkably user-friendly. With a smartphone or computer, you can easily listen to podcasts, thanks to the internet and user-friendly tools. Moreover, numerous platforms and apps make it simple to create and share your podcast. Learning is key, and with tutorials and equipment reviews from fellow podcasters, setting up your podcast isn't as complicated as you might think. "Podcasts are only for entertainment purposes" While many podcasts aim to entertain, it's essential to recognize that podcasts span a wide range of topics designed for education, information, and thoughtful discussion. They are valuable sources of knowledge and learning. For instance, business and finance podcasts offer insights into managing finances and investments. There are also podcasts on science, technology, politics, history, and more. Educational institutions create podcasts as supplementary learning resources, covering topics from literature to science, enriching students' coursework. "Creating a podcast is expensive" Just like any other content, the cost of your podcast depends on the quality you aim to achieve. If budget is a concern, you can create a podcast without breaking the bank. Use your smartphone or computer for recording, bypassing the need for professional equipment. Affordable platforms like bCast can help you edit and distribute your podcast. For a more professional sound, budget-friendly recording equipment and editing software are available. Paid podcast platforms and software provide additional features and support. Regardless of your budget, options abound for creating your podcast. "You need a big audience to make money from podcasts" Many believe that a large audience is a prerequisite for podcast monetization. While a bigger audience does offer more revenue opportunities, it's crucial to understand that various monetization avenues exist, regardless of your audience size. You can sell ad space relevant to your niche or offer premium content like b

From the number-one New York Times best-selling McElroy Brothers, creators of the hit podcasts My Brother, My Brother and Me and The Adventure Zone, comes a helpful and hilarious how-to podcast guide covering everything you need to know to make, produce, edit, and promote a podcast...and get rich* doing it! (*Results not guaranteed.) Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy made their names as “advice giving brothers who have no business giving advice” ( New York Times ) on the hit podcast My Brother, My Brother and Me . But while they may not have the best relationship or workplace advice, they certainly make you laugh, and they do know a thing or two about podcasting. In fact, the McElroy Brothers have spent the last decade making podcasts, including My Brother, My Brother and Me ; The Adventure Zone ; Sawbones ; and more. From their start, independently producing and releasing the early episodes of My Brother, My Brother and Me , to their 11 currently available podcasts, the McElroys have become experts in creating successful podcasts. And now, they want to share what they’ve learned with you. In Everybody Has a Podcast (Except You) , the McElroy Brothers will walk you through the process of turning an idea into ear candy for legions of fans, sharing their expertise on everything from deciding on an effective name (definitely not something like My Brother, My Brother and Me ), to what type of microphone to use (definitely not one from the video game Rock Band ), to making lots and lots of money (spoiler: you probably won’t). A must-listen for anyone interested in podcasting, Everybody Has a Podcast (Except You) shares the keys to success as well as the mistakes to avoid and draws on the vast experiences of three of the funniest and most successful podcasters working today. https://www.harpercollins.com/products/everybody-has-a-podcast-except-you-justin-mcelroytravis-mcelroygriffin-mcelroy?variant=32126626496546 ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

E146 - Podcast Seasons - Are They The Best Option For My Podcast
EPISODE 146 - Podcast Seasons - Are They The Best Option For My Podcast Should I podcast in seasons? Personally, at this point, I don't. Two of my 7 podcasts actually have 3 to 4 episodes a week going out every week - that is a bit extreme, I know, I know! Just because I don't use seasons does by no means equate to seasons as a "bad idea", seasons might be a great idea for you - and right there sums up why podcasting is great. THERE IS NO RIGHT WAY TO PODCAST! You are in charge of your podcast! Do what works right for you! I share my thoughts and a couple cautions around podcasting in seasons here on episode 137! I would love to hear your comments over at our website! In this episode we touch on the following... What's a Season in Podcasting? A podcast season is like a bunch of episodes released together, and then there's a break before the next batch. It's similar to how TV shows have a bunch of episodes, and then you have to wait for the next season to come out. This way, listeners have time to enjoy the episodes without the pressure of a new one every week. How Seasons Work In a podcast season, there's a specific time when episodes come out, usually lasting a couple of months. During this time, no new episodes are released. After the season ends, a new one begins. However, not all episodes have to be part of a season. Some can be released randomly whenever the podcaster wants. When Do Episodes Come Out? The timing of episodes depends on when they're ready. Podcasters release episodes when they are finished and edited. Seasons help listeners know when to expect new episodes. Without seasons, it's less predictable, and podcasters have to stick to a strict schedule. Why Use Seasons? Using seasons in podcasting has some benefits. Listeners know when to expect new episodes, which keeps them interested and excited. It also gives podcasters time to focus on making new episodes without rushing. How Long Should a Season Be? Most podcast seasons are around two to three months long, but it varies. Some shows release episodes regularly, while others do it every few months. It depends on what works best for your podcast. Planning Your Podcast Before starting your podcast, decide if you want to use seasons and how many you'll have. This helps you set a schedule and keep your podcast organized. In Conclusion Podcasting in seasons is a great way to keep your podcast interesting for listeners. It shows that you're active and always creating new content. If you want to keep your podcast exciting, using seasons might be a good idea. ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

E145 - Apple Seed Series - Impact Your Podcast with three actionable tips for implementing continuous improvement in your podcasting journey - Part 10
EPISODE 145 - Apple Seed Series - Impact Your Podcast with three actionable tips for implementing continuous improvement in your podcasting journey - Part 10 Continuous improvement is a crucial aspect of podcasting that involves refining your content, delivery, and overall approach based on feedback and changing circumstances. Here are three actionable tips for implementing continuous improvement in your podcasting journey: Feedback Loop Enhancement: Tip: Create multiple feedback channels to gather diverse perspectives from your listeners. Action: In addition to encouraging listeners to share their thoughts through emails or social media, consider setting up a dedicated feedback form on your podcast website. This form can include specific questions about episode topics, guest suggestions, and overall podcast experience. Regularly review the feedback you receive and use it to identify patterns, strengths, and areas for improvement. Thematic Evolution: Tip: Stay attuned to changing trends and evolving interests within your target audience. Action: Set aside time to research and monitor your niche or industry. Follow relevant news, social media discussions, and emerging topics. When you notice shifts or emerging trends, incorporate them into your podcast's themes or adapt your message to address these changes. This keeps your content fresh and relevant, and demonstrates your commitment to staying current and engaged with your listeners. Segment Experimentation: Tip: Test different podcast segments or formats to gauge audience preferences and refine your message delivery. Action: Introduce new segments or experimental episodes periodically to gather data on listener engagement. For example, you could alternate between solo episodes, interview formats, and panel discussions. Analyze metrics like episode downloads, listener feedback, and social media interactions to identify which segments resonate most with your audience. Use this information to fine-tune your podcast's structure and content mix for maximum impact. By consistently seeking feedback, adapting to changes, and experimenting with new approaches, you'll demonstrate your dedication to providing value and relevance to your listeners. Remember that continuous improvement is an ongoing process that requires flexibility and a willingness to learn and evolve. Over time, these actions will help you refine your podcast message, strengthen audience engagement, and create a lasting impact. ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - Please STOP Listening to My Podcast
The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - Please STOP Listening to My Podcast Starting Your Podcast: Just Take the First Step Starting a podcast can be a daunting task, especially if you're new to the world of podcasting. Many aspiring podcasters often find themselves overwhelmed by the numerous steps and decisions that go into launching their show. But the truth is, getting started is easier than you might think. It's all about taking that crucial first step. Do Anything : That's the mantra for all new podcasters. Perhaps you've already made some initial progress – you've acquired a decent microphone, selected your co-hosts, or even considered album art. Or maybe you're sitting there with a blank slate, unsure of where to begin. Both situations are perfectly fine because the most important thing is to start making your podcast. In this article, we aim to provide guidance and encouragement to new podcasters who are struggling to make that first move. While we'll touch on various podcast-related aspects we've learned from our years in the industry, the key takeaway is to avoid getting bogged down by endless deliberation and overthinking. Action Over Perfection : It's common for new podcasters to fixate on making everything perfect before they even hit the record button. They might spend endless hours setting up a professional-grade recording studio, refining their ideas, or crafting a flawless marketing plan. However, waiting for perfection can be paralyzing. Experience is the best teacher. So, if you feel stuck, unable to take that first step, we have an exercise for you that you can do right now. The Simple Exercise : Grab your phone, open a voice recording app (most operating systems come with one), or use any device with a built-in microphone. Press record and start talking. Don't overthink it; talk about whatever comes to mind. What's your passion? What stories do you want to share? What keeps you up at night? Once you've said your piece, press stop. Congratulations, you've just recorded an episode of your podcast! Don't let technicalities or self-doubt hold you back. Making the recording is the baseline, the essential step you must take to get started. Continuous Improvement : Podcasting, like any creative endeavor, is a learning process. Don't expect to master it on your first try. Instead, focus on getting better with each recording. Try different approaches, experiment with music, or work on your pacing. Remember, podcasting is easy in terms of its technical simplicity. Just click record, talk, and click stop. However, creating content that resonates with your audience and satisfies your creative aspirations can be as challenging and time-consuming as you choose to make it. So, here's the key takeaway: take that first step. Start recording, and then work on improving with each episode.

E140 - Apple Seed Series - Impact Your Podcast with these three actionable tips that a podcaster can implement when inviting guests and conducting interviews - Part 5 Here are three actionable tips that a podcaster can implement when inviting guests and conducting interviews to see impactful results: Strategic Guest Selection: Research and Target: Identify potential guests who align with your podcast's theme and audience interests. Look for experts, thought leaders, authors, or individuals with unique experiences that complement your message. Diverse Perspectives: Aim to bring in a variety of perspectives to offer a well-rounded discussion. Diverse viewpoints can spark engaging conversations and cater to a wider audience. Pre-screening: Before inviting a guest, thoroughly review their background, previous interviews, and content to ensure their expertise and compatibility with your message. Preparation for In-Depth Discussions: Thorough Research: Dive into your guest's work, achievements, and relevant topics. This preparation not only helps you craft insightful questions but also demonstrates your genuine interest in their expertise. Develop a Story Arc: Structure your interview like a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Craft questions that build upon each other, guiding the conversation toward a meaningful conclusion. Unique Questions: Ask thought-provoking questions that encourage your guest to share personal anecdotes, insights, and actionable advice. Avoid generic questions that they may have answered in previous interviews. Active Listening and Engaging Conversations: Follow the Flow: While it's important to have prepared questions, be flexible and adapt to the direction the conversation naturally takes. Listen actively to your guest's responses, and build upon their insights with follow-up questions. Foster Dialogue: Encourage your guest to elaborate on their points, share real-life examples, and dive deeper into their expertise. Create an environment where they feel comfortable sharing valuable insights. Balanced Interaction: Strike a balance between guiding the conversation and giving your guest the space to express themselves fully. Avoid dominating the discussion, and let your guest shine. Implementing these tips can lead to more engaging and impactful interviews that resonate with your audience. Remember that each guest brings a unique perspective, and your role as a podcaster is to facilitate a meaningful dialogue that adds depth and credibility to your message. Over time, consistently delivering insightful interviews will enhance your podcast's reputation and attract a loyal listener base. ___

In this 10 episode mini-series we talk about the immesurable impact your podcast can have that nobody tends to talk about! You can count the number of seeds in an apple, but you can't count the number of apples in a seed! Three actionable tips for improving your engaging delivery as a podcaster: Vocal Variety and Pacing: Practice modulation: Vary your tone, pitch, and volume to prevent monotony. This can be particularly effective when emphasizing important points or creating suspense. Adjust pacing: Speak at a comfortable pace, ensuring your words are clear and well-articulated. Avoid speaking too quickly, which can make it hard for listeners to follow. Pausing at strategic moments can also create anticipation and emphasize key ideas. Emotional Connection: Be authentic: Share personal anecdotes or emotions related to your topic. Authenticity creates a genuine connection with your listeners and makes your message relatable. Use the power of storytelling: Craft narratives that evoke emotions and connect with your audience's own experiences. Engaging stories can evoke empathy and keep listeners hooked. Preparation and Practice: Script and rehearse: While spontaneity is valuable, having a well-prepared script or outline ensures you stay on track and communicate your points effectively. Record and review: Listen to your recordings to identify areas for improvement. Pay attention to pacing, clarity, and the emotional impact of your delivery. Take notes on what works and what needs refining. Seek constructive feedback: Share your recordings with a trusted friend or colleague and ask for their honest input. Constructive criticism can provide insights you might not have noticed on your own. By implementing these tips, you can enhance your engaging delivery and create a more impactful podcasting experience for your audience. Remember that practice and continuous improvement are key to mastering these techniques over time. ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

This podcast explores events after the dust has settled and the headlines have faded. Sometimes "fade" is purposefully controlled by big media, known as the "information cycle." Fade is also caused by lack of interest on the part of society. Fade can be completely understandable and we move on from those things... But sometimes things are amiss. There can also be a middle ground where the fade seems to be understandable but it really shouldn't be! These are stories that seem to be the best ones.

Conclusion: Summarize the key takeaways, restate your central message, and encourage action or reflection from your listeners. Actionable Tips for Results: Develop a Research Routine: Allocate dedicated time for research before recording each episode. Create a repository of reputable sources that you can refer to consistently. Set up Google Alerts or subscribe to newsletters to stay informed about the latest developments in your field.

EPISODE 137 - Apple Seed Series - Impact Your Podcast by Crafting a compelling message for your podcast episodes - Part 2 Crafting a compelling message for your podcast episodes is crucial for engaging your audience and making a lasting impact. Here's an expansion on the points you mentioned, along with three actionable tips for podcasters to implement: 1. Develop a Clear Central Message: Your central message serves as the anchor for your entire episode. It's the main takeaway you want your listeners to remember. To create an impactful central message: Focus on Specificity: Narrow down your topic to a specific angle or theme. Avoid being too broad, as this can dilute your message's impact. For example, instead of discussing "healthy living," you could focus on "simple dietary changes for increased energy." Use a Thesis Statement: Craft a concise statement that summarizes your episode's main point. This thesis should guide your content and keep you on track throughout the episode. Consider Your Audience's Needs: Align your central message with your audience's interests and pain points. What problem are you addressing or what value are you providing to them? 2. Use Storytelling: Storytelling adds a human touch to your podcast and helps your message resonate with listeners on a personal level. Here's how to effectively use storytelling: Share Anecdotes: Share personal anecdotes related to the topic. Personal stories create a connection with your audience and make your content relatable. Case Studies and Examples: Use real-life case studies or examples to illustrate your message. Showcasing how others have experienced your message's impact adds credibility and relevance. Emotional Appeal: Incorporate emotions into your stories. Emotions help listeners connect with your message and remember it better. Three Actionable Tips for Podcasters: 1. Develop a Story Bank: Create a repository of stories, anecdotes, and examples relevant to your podcast's niche. Whenever you're preparing an episode, you can draw from this bank to make your content more engaging. 2. Practice the Rule of Three: Structure your central message with three main points or examples. The human brain tends to remember information in threes, making your message more memorable. 3. Craft Compelling Introductions and Conclusions: Introduction: Start with a hook that grabs your listeners' attention. It could be a thought-provoking question, a surprising fact, or a teaser about what's to come. Conclusion: Summarize your central message and key takeaways. Reiterate the value your listeners will gain from applying the message in their lives. By developing a clear central message and using storytelling effectively, you can create podcast episodes

E136 - Apple Seed Series - Impact Your Podcast by Defining Your Purpose and Your Audience - Part 1
EPISODE 136 - Apple Seed Series - Impact Your Podcast by Defining Your Purpose and Your Audience - Part 1 “You can count the seeds in an apple, but you can't count the apples in a seed.” ― Karen Jensen "Unlocking the Power of Mission Statements for Your Podcast: 5 Crucial Elements to Craft a Compelling Mission Statement So, you're on a mission to create a powerful mission statement for your podcast, right? Well, you're onto something big! Crafting a mission statement isn't just about inspiring words or a lofty vision; it's a strategic tool that keeps your podcast on course and resonates with your audience. As TIME Magazine puts it: "Mission statements may seem overused and unimportant, but a well-crafted one can help you define your podcast, establish your brand, and guide your content strategy." With that in mind, let's dive into the 5 essential elements of a mission statement that will steer your podcast in the right direction and ensure your best episodes are yet to come: #1: Purpose What's the core reason your podcast exists? Remember, your mission statement isn't a vision statement; it's about what sets your podcast apart and the value it offers right now, beyond just the content you provide. #2: Expertise What makes your podcast exceptional? What expertise, strengths, or advantages distinguish you from the rest? Even if you're continually improving, capture your core abilities in your mission statement. #3: Inspiration Your mission statement should inspire and motivate your listeners, especially during challenging times. The words you choose should convey the inspiration behind your purpose and expertise. #4: Clarity Balancing functionality with conciseness is crucial. Your mission statement should be clear and easy to remember while including all necessary components. #5: Legacy Consider what your podcast is known for and what you aspire to be known for in the future. Your mission statement should capture your essence and your vision for the long term. Remember, mission statements aren't set in stone. Just like podcasts evolve, your mission statement can adapt over time to stay relevant and aligned with your podcast's growth and direction." ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

E135 - How Ego Metrics Can Derail Your Podcast - Grab a Ladder and Get Over Yourself
EPISODE 135 - How Ego Metrics Can Derail Your Podcast - Grab a Ladder and Get Over Yourself Podcast Success Metrics: Separating Meaningful Stats from Vanity Numbers As podcasters, we're all on a quest for success, and that often comes down to the numbers. In today's world of digital media, we're inundated with metrics to gauge our performance and compare ourselves to others. We're all familiar with that feeling of admiration, envy, or even bragging when we see big numbers. However, here's the catch: not all metrics are created equal. Some of these numbers might not actually reflect our podcast's impact, and they can be easily manipulated. In fact, some of the most visible metrics can be the most misleading. 1. Total Downloads and Listeners This is perhaps the most visible metric for podcasters. We all want to see our download numbers soar, but it's essential to remember that not all downloads translate into active listeners. Some might be passive or one-time downloads. Additionally, it's not uncommon for people to artificially inflate these numbers. 2. Social Media Followers and Likes Many podcasters strive to grow their social media presence to boost their podcast's visibility. However, having a large number of followers or likes doesn't always equate to meaningful engagement or influence. These numbers can be padded, and algorithms may limit the reach of your content. 3. Engagement Metrics Metrics like comments, shares, and ratings on podcast platforms can provide insights into how your audience interacts with your content. Still, they can be misleading if they don't result in real engagement or meaningful discussions. 4. Subscriber Count Similar to social media followers, having a high subscriber count on your podcast platform might look impressive, but it doesn't necessarily mean those subscribers actively engage with your episodes. So, What Metrics Truly Matter for Podcasters? While these vanity metrics might make us feel good temporarily, they don't always reflect the podcast's impact. What really matters are metrics that align with your podcast's goals: 1. Listener Engagement Pay attention to metrics that indicate engagement, such as comments, reviews, and discussions sparked by your episodes. These show that your content resonates with your audience. 2. Download Trends Instead of fixating on total download numbers, focus on trends and patterns in your download statistics. Are your downloads consistently increasing, or do they fluctuate? 3. Audience Retention Look at how long listeners stay engaged during an episode. High retention rates indicate that your content is compelling and keeps people tuned in. 4. Conversion Metric

The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - Google Podcast App Leaving Now What
The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - Google Podcast App Leaving Now What?? Is podcasting Dead? Oh No! The mighty Google Podcast App is closing - run for the hills!! Relax - this is not bad news, there are a few things to consider with the recent news about Google Podcast's demise After a six-year run, Google Podcasts will be shutting down next year. Instead, the internet company plans to double down on making YouTube Music the preferred destination for podcasters and listeners. YouTube announced that in 2024, it will be “increasing our investment in the podcast experience on YouTube Music .” As part of that, later in the year, “we’ll be discontinuing Google Podcasts,” which was first launched in 2018, the company said in a blog post . Google said that YouTube is already the more popular way to listen to podcasts: About 23% of weekly podcast users in the U.S. say YouTube is their most frequently used service, compared with 4% for Google Podcasts, according to Edison Research. With the move to shut down Google Podcasts, the company said, it will help Google Podcasts users move over to podcasts in YouTube Music. For users, it plans to provide a “simple migration tool” and the ability to add podcast RSS feeds to their YouTube Music library, or the ability to transfer show subscriptions to a compatible podcast-listening app. For podcasters, YouTube Music plans to provide “robust creation and analytics tools” and RSS uploads, and it promises to expand the ability to listen to podcasts “everywhere YouTube Music listeners are already consuming their favorite content — in the background, in the car, offline and more.” “In the coming weeks and months, we’ll gather feedback to make the migration process from Google Podcasts to YouTube Music as simple and easy as possible,” the company said. “Once we feel the migration tools are ready, we’ll release them along with clear guidelines on how they work.” arlier this year, YouTube launched the ability to watch and listen to podcasts on YouTube Music in the U.S., without requiring a paid membership. Podcasts on YouTube Music include access to downloads, background play and on smart speakers as well as the ability to switch between audio and video podcasts. Google plans to make podcasts on YouTube Music globally available before the end of 2023. New “YouTube-only” capabilities will be coming to podcasts on YouTube Music, “across community, discovery and audio/visual switching,” Google said. “We know this transition will take time, but these efforts will allow us to build an amazing product and a single destination that rewards creators a

E132 - CO-HOST - Tiffany Bell - New Podcaster Questions - Launch, Cost, Time and Community Tiffany is looking to take her social media interactions into the podcasting world. Her mission is to help build community and to serve others! We talk about launching a podcast, how many episodes are required to launch a show, audio vs video podcasting for new podcasters, we talk cost and technology plus much more! If you are looking to launch a podcast, remember, your community might include people who want to help and to support you - they can offer their time, talent or treasure, you just need to put it out to your community, what you need and how they can help you with your podcast! Pastor Tiffany Bell is a powerful and dynamic speaker who has been changing lives with her story and compassion for over two decades. At the age of 22, pastor Tiffany had a radical conversion and encounter with Jesus Christ that would change her life forever! Since that time, she has committed her life to spreading the message of hope and God's transforming power around the world! Pastor Tiffany was raised just outside of Charleston South Carolina. As a child, she saw the hand of God protect and keep her despite being raised in the home of a backslidden pastor turned drug dealer! Surrounded by drugs and abuse, she managed to build and receive strength from a God she had not known or met. Little did she know it then, but God had big plans for her. In her early 20s Tiffany was invited to attend an Assembly of God church service. There, she decided to give God a try. With nothing to lose, she gained the world. That night, she told the Lord, “yes”. Since that night, her passion for souls has continued to grow. Shortly after that fate-filled night at the Assembly of God Church, Pastor Tiffany Bell began an intense discipleship training. Within a couple of months, God was already opening doors for her to begin to mentor others. She began teaching addiction recovery classes using the Teen Challenge curriculum. Faithful to the call, she would soon become actively involved as a youth pastor. A few years later, God opened up an opportunity to plant a church where she would be co-pastor. Through community outreach and discipleship she was able to see a church plant grow from nothing to over 60 strong before God launched her into her next season. Today, Pastor Tiffany Bell and her husband Apostle Dr. Howard Bell spearhead an international ministry called, “Yielded Life”. This ministry spans the globe through social media, television and live events. Together they spread the message of how Yielding to God, through the posture of love, will Awaken Identity, Activate Purpose and Ignite Destiny! https://yieldedlife.org/ ___ <a href="https://howtopodcast.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener norefe

E127 - Listener Feedback Question - What is Upspeak and Vocal Fry and Why We Should Talk About It
EPISODE 127 - Listener Feedback Question - What is Upspeak and Vocal Fry and Why We Should Talk About It What is vocal fry? Vocal fry is the lowest register (tone) of your voice characterized by its deep, creaky, breathy sound. When you speak, your vocal cords naturally close to create vibrations as air passes between them. Like a piano or guitar string, these vibrations produce sound (your voice). When you breathe, your vocal cords are relaxed and open to let air pass through freely, which doesn’t produce any sound. When you use vocal fry, you relax your vocal cords but do not increase the amount of air you’re pushing past your vocal cords, which produces slower vibrations and ultimately results in the lower creaky sound. Whether you use it or not, vocal fry is a pattern of voice use that does not cause harm to your voice. However, if you’re not satisfied with your voice, a speech-language pathologist can help improve its quality. These methods train you to produce a stronger, more powerful voice. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/is-vocal-fry-ruining-my-voice What Is Upspeak? Upspeak, also known as uptalk or high rising terminal (HRT), is a linguistic occurrence in which a speaker uses a rising inflection at the end of a declarative sentence. This rising intonation at the end of the sentence makes a statement sound like a question. In 1993, journalist James Gorman established the term “upspeak” in a New York Times article. In pop culture, upspeak is known as “valley girl speak,” a social class stereotype popularized in the ‘80s as a riff on the dialect of upper-middle-class young women from the valleys of Southern California. Overusing upspeak in your speech becomes monotonous for listeners and may indicate a lack of confidence, as every statement becomes a question. While linguists have derided the use of uptalk, some high-profile figures have embraced it. https://www.masterclass.com/articles/upspeak-explained ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

E126 - Listener Question - Should I Start a Live Podcast, A Video Podcast or and Audio Only Show
E126 - Listener Question - Should I Start a Live Podcast, A Video Podcast or and Audio Only Show Chris left a message about I am thinking of starting a podcast. Chris was wondering what the best path is to start on. Should he start an audio only podcast, a video podcast or a live show? Chris asked if I have ever considered doing a live podcast? In this episode we look at where the easiest place is to start. As in all things in life, it depends! If you are gifted with video, then a video podcast makes sense based on what you already know - if you are a live gamer, than a live podcast might be great - I, unfortunately am neither of those! So I choose audio only to start. A few reasons why... Audio is widely available to the majority of consumers without hurdles to consume your podcast - you reach is wider and evergreen. Your hosting site might charge you by file size per episode - audio file sizes are lower than video thus saving you money. Video and Live Podcasting include extras - cameras, lights, streaming software, strong internet connection, money etc. If you are new and have very little budget this might makes thing difficult for you starting out. Live podcasting to me, based on the limited live podcasts that I have attended (there in lies one big problem - I am busy when they go live) tends to lean toward podcasters that seem bored with the audio only podcasts that they have been creating for a long time. It is the new shiny thing and when they host a live podcast they seem distracted, unfocused, unedited and all over the place leaving us audio only listeners in the dark as to what is going on. "Look at this mic" "Check out this image" "Charlie in the chat just made a great comment" (but we don't hear Charlie's comment, ever) Podcasting from day one was built on anyone can speak to everyone, anytime, anywhere and how the audience wants to listen. Video and live have limited ways to hear/see the podcast - so there in lies the problem that I have with ignoring the audio only podcast listeners - the moment we purposefully alienate potential listeners becomes the opposite of what podcasting was designed to do. Audio is where I would start based on my audience, my skill level and my current financial situation - be realistic and inclusive to all! ... and for all things podcasting, edit your live and video podcasts for those listening later on an audio platform - don't be a lazy podcaster - we see you! ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/ Leave Dave a message - https://www.speakpipe.com/HelloDave Get a podcast review of your show! - https://podcastfeedback.ca/

EPISODE 122 - Podcast Tips for Being a Better Guest on Your Next Podcast - Learn From The Experiences of Others Being is guest on podcasts is a great way to strut your stuff, make valuable connections and share your message - here are some things to consider when reaching out to podcasts that you want to guest on... - unfortunately not all podcast hosts will respond in a timely manner (or at all) - have ONE call to action not 25! A website is $12 a year and you can build your website on Canva for free - so a linktree is not the best place to send people - a website is your spot on the internet that you control - have one place to send listeners and then populate your site with all the other links to where you are on social media - consider having a gift or free offer that isn't available to EVERYONE, just the listeners - you can track when listeners click through to your offer and it gives listeners a special bonus just for them! - Question - do I have to listen to a podcast before I guest on the show? Nope! Should you, Yes! Why? You will pick up on the tone, energy and vibe of the show which can be your super power as a guest when it is your turn! - When communicating with the host avoid canned copy/paste communications - personalize your pitches so that your email stands out in a crowded email inbox! - When pitching yourself to a podcast host - pitch content ideas for the show and how you would be a great guest to discuss the content that you suggested - not just your book. - During the podcast - answer the question that is asked of you and keep your answer short and valuable - let the host pull out further details about your answer instead of going on and on for 20 minutes for one simple question - have good tech if you want to be a frequent guest - a $50 usb mic and a pair of wired headphones will do wonders when you show up to record your podcast interview - be sure to record from a quiet spot with no distractions (turn off your phone!) - Show up for your guest spot as if you were about to walk onto the biggest stage of your life in front of thousands of people! This is a big opportunity, treat it as such. - Leverage other guests from the podcast you are guesting on - there maybe other guests that you can connect with now that you have both been on the same show - you never know where that might lead! - when pitching a podcast to be on as a guest - remember the podcast is not about you, it is about the audience, always! - Ask yourself - why am I guesting and what is the result that I am hoping for by being a guest - if you don't know the answer to that question - figure that out before your next pitch! - Thank your host before, during and after each opportunity - and lastly, be prepared - always ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/ Leave Dave a message - <a

Should I have a One Sheet for My Podcast as the Host - The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips
Should I have a One Sheet for My Podcast as the Host - The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips What is a Podcast One-Sheet? Podcast one-sheets tell a podcast host why they should choose you as a guest and which topics you can eloquently speak about. You should view it as your podcast resume! Unsurprisingly, a one-sheet is one piece of paper filled with brief information that helps steer conversations during a podcast. While these sheets will cover quite a bit of information, one-sheets shouldn’t seem crowded. The layout of compelling one-sheets flows seamlessly; podcast hosts and guests should have the ability to skim the sheet to find the subtopic they’re looking for. Here are the main components of a podcast one-sheet: Headshot Bio Suggested interview topics Suggested questions Social media/contact information Appearances on other podcasts (if applicable) Why Are One-Sheets Important? If you’re a podcast host, would you want to invite a guest onto your show without knowing about them? You would be rolling the dice. On the flip side, podcast guests might not appreciate recording a podcast if the host had little to no information about them. It might not work well if a real estate agent randomly appears on a podcast without the host having any background information. One-sheets have become an industry norm because they help keep the podcast space organized and help podcast hosts choose the right guests to bring onto their show. Simply put: podcast hosts need one-sheets to find the right people to contribute to their show’s value. If you’re interested in being a guest on a podcast, you should use a one-sheet to market yourself. How Do You Design a One-Sheet? There are six essential components in a one-sheet: The headshot section The bio section The suggested questions section The suggested topic question The podcast appearances section ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/ Leave Dave a message - https://www.speakpipe.com/HelloDave Get a podcast review of your show! - https://podcastfeedback.ca/

YouTube Podcast News - Coming soon additional analytics, improved discovery and search for podcasts - The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips YouTube will fully support ingestion of RSS feeds for podcasts by the end of the year, it was announced at Podcast Movement by the Product Lead Podcasting at Google, Steve McLendon, speaking to Ausha’s Jennifer Han. He also made the first public acknowledgement of the ongoing beta testing that we reported on in May. (It ingests RSS audio feeds and turns them into YouTube-hosted video, like CNN One Thing which we understand is using it.) Within the YouTube Music app, podcasts are currently available in the US, Canada and Latin America, and are on track to complete a global rollout by the end of the year, including a podcast section on the website. The company is also planning additional analytics, and improved discovery and search for podcasts, especially for users who have engaged with podcast content. Podnews has also learnt that YouTube Music updates to expect relatively soon are show-level auto-downloads; and you’ll also soon be able to add any RSS feed to your YouTube Music app - even private RSS feeds - in countries where podcasts on YouTube Music are supported. McLendon stressed to creators that for best results you should mark your show (“playlist”) as a podcast in YouTube Studio, which unlocks additional places where your show will be promoted.

A Question From Mark About His Proposed Podcast Show Name and Some Thoughts For You When Naming Your Show - The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips
A Question From Mark About His Proposed Podcast Show Name and Some Thoughts For You When Naming Your Show - The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips Mark left a question for the show - his new podcast idea is a travel and local focused show the N B Traveler - thanks Mark for leaving your question - we will talk about Mark's podcast show name and talk through some considerations for you when determining the name for your show! When choosing a title, think of a dynamic name that can expand to fit your wildest dreams. The possibilities of audio creation are always expanding, and you never know how your personal brand might grow. Relying on the word “podcast” from the get-go might leave you feeling boxed in down the road. In short, here are some guidelines from fellow podcasters around picking a great podcast name: Aim for 4 words or less. Choose a name that aligns with your content. Keep it succinct and intriguing. Try to avoid the words “The” and “Podcast.” Avoid special characters, misspellings, abbreviations, and punctuation. Your name should be easy to spell and pronounce. Make sure it’s not already taken. Gather some outside opinions. Think about how your show might evolve over time. Choose a name you like saying out loud. Picking a podcast name might feel difficult, but don’t let it prevent you from sharing your voice. Sometimes a show needs to exist in the world before it can be given a title. If you find yourself feeling stuck, the best thing to do is start creating. Record some mock episodes or soft-launch with a placeholder name. There’s always room for adjustment later on. At the end of the day, listeners are tuning in for you and your content—not your podcast title. If you make great episodes that keep people engaged, your podcast name will fall into place. ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/ Leave Dave a message - https://www.speakpipe.com/HelloDave Get a podcast review of your show! - https://podcastfeedback.ca/

E117 - Dave versus A.I. - Putting the Humanity back into Podcast Editing
E117 - Dave versus A.I. - Putting the Humanity back into Podcast Editing I had the opportunity to be a guest on a podcast for Dads - it was great, awesome host, a great episode - truly grateful for the opportunity to share my Dad Story! Be a guest, it is a great way to add value to another show, to support a fellow podcaster and potentially grow your own show at the same time! When the episode released I noticed that the podcast was edited by a popular A.I. Editing tool that podcasters have fallen in love with - but I felt, when listening back to the interview that the humanity was removed in the edit - so I have a warning for you as a podcaster to use caution when using an A.I. Tool or an editor for your show - don't strip every last second of pauses, cadence and the natural "gallop" that happens when we talk. Here is a comparison of the interview as it went out and my edits to put the humanity back into the same clip. You judge for yourself what works for you, how do you feel when you hear the two clips. For me the first clip made me feel anxious, like a shot clock in basketball, there felt like an imaginary countdown clock clicking away and that I was trying to get all my words in before a cutoff point... If you need help with your editing I am accepting new podcasts for a limited time - if I can help you edit your show, and you want a human to do your edits, maybe I can help! https://getrealparentalcoaching.com/ https://howtopodcast.ca/

EPISODE 114 - CO-HOST - Christa Joy Spaeth - Working With A Podcast Coach, Riverside, Building Community Christa Joy Spaeth is the founder of Christa Joy Ministries. It was in 2022 when Minnesota-based author Christa received a compelling message from God. In a prayer cabin called “Whisper,” He prompted her to write a seven-week devotional. Since then, Christa’s eyes, heart, and ears were opened to more whispers, so that she may start fulfilling her new purpose of helping the hurting and share the love of Christ. Christa is a blessed wife, mother of two, and a successful businesswoman. She is a woman ignited with a burning passion to walk in the rhythm of God’s plan, each day. So much so that in 2022, she took a bold step, bidding goodbye to her long-standing career as a Registered Dietitian at a high-profile food manufacturing company. It wasn’t an easy step, but it was a step of faith, one that led her closer to the purpose God had for her: encouraging others through Christ. Today, Christa owns and operates Christa Joy Ministries where she publishes her own books, hosts a podcast, and writes daily encouragements on her social media. In addition, she does guest blog posts for various social media accounts. https://www.christajoyministries.com/ https://howtopodcast.ca/

E113 - The Chevy Nova - Why Picking a Great Podcast Name Matters and Ten Things To Consider When Naming Your Show
E113 - The Chevy Nova - Why Picking a Great Podcast Name Matters and Ten Things To Consider When Naming Your Show the story of the Chevy Nova “no go” is a myth, an urban legend. It never actually happened. Like many urban legends, the Chevy “no go” story was repeated so many times that people believed it to be true. Also, similar to other urban legends, the Chevy “no go” story has a small element of truth, for “ no va” does mean “no go.” Contrary to popular belief, though, the Chevy Nova sold well in Latin America. In Venezuela, the Nova actually exceeded sales projections from Chevrolet. If you can speak Spanish, you likely understand why the Chevy Nova “no go” story is a myth. For one, in Spanish, nova and no va don’t sound the same, and most people would not confuse them. It would be like saying “carpet” and “car pet.” They sound different and have different meanings. Also, no va would be a highly unusual way to describe a car that can’t drive or function. Key Considerations When Selecting a Name for Your Podcast: Relevance : Choose a name that directly reflects the content and theme of your podcast. It should give listeners a clear idea of what your show is about. Memorability : Aim for a name that is catchy, easy to remember, and stands out among other podcasts. Avoid overly complicated or lengthy names. SEO-Friendly : Opt for a name that incorporates relevant keywords or phrases related to your podcast's topic. This can help improve your podcast's visibility in search results. Uniqueness : Ensure your podcast name is distinct and not already used by another popular podcast to avoid confusion and trademark issues. Audience Appeal : Consider your target audience and the tone of your podcast. Choose a name that resonates with your intended listeners and reflects the podcast's personality. Versatility : Select a name that allows for potential growth and expansion of your podcast's topics or content without feeling limited. Domain Availability : Check if the corresponding domain name is available for your podcast website, as it's essential for branding and online presence. Social Media Handles : Ensure that the podcast name is available as a handle on major social media platforms to maintain consistency across channels. Avoid Trends : While trendy names might seem appealing initially, they can quickly become outdated. Opt for a timeless name that will age well. Test and Feedback : Before finalizing your podcast name, test it with friends, family, or potential listeners to gather feedback and make necessary adjustments.

E112 - CO-HOST - Debbie Weiss - Host of Maybe I Can - Co-Hosting, Being Unique and Podcasting Courses
E112 - Debbie Weiss - Host of Maybe I Can - Co-Hosting, Being Unique and Podcasting Courses Hello, I'm Debbie... For most of my life, my set of beliefs was fairly consistent with my upbringing and life experience. Certainly, all of us are shaped by the people, places, and circumstances of our lives. I was not one to ever question those beliefs. I just assumed they were correct and to be quite honest, I never really gave it any thought. My life changed forever the day after I graduated from high school when my Dad had a massive stroke. He survived and I was his primary caregiver for the next 30 years. This was the beginning of me taking care of everyone else at the expense of myself. I was and still am a "fixer" and a "problem solver". I have a strong desire to be the one to help, which is admirable (if I do say so myself 😋), however, I sacrificed my own well-being in the process. My belief was "it is what it is". It's not like I have a choice. My life has always been about doing everything for everyone else without giving much consideration to my own needs and wants. I would hear what other people were doing and often be jealous and think, "that must be nice, but I can't do that". Anyone who offered a suggestion, I always had a reason why "I can't do it". Other people can, but I can't. Until I turned 50 and realized that this is it. This is my one and only life and I don't want to look back years from now with regret for the things I haven't done. Maybe I can try something new. Maybe I can put myself first. Maybe I can take control of my future. Maybe I can live the life of my dreams. After all, other people do it, so why not me? I'm done with my excuses and ready to take back my life and I know exactly how I'm going to do it. https://www.debbierweiss.com/ https://howtopodcast.ca/

E111 - Questions to Ask When Hiring a Podcast Editor - Get Better Results By Asking Better Questions
E111 - Questions to Ask When Hiring a Podcast Editor - Get Better Results By Asking Better Questions Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Podcast Editor Why do you need a podcast editor right now? Consider your reasons and goals for hiring one. Describe your podcast to someone else: topic, audience, format, episode duration, finished length, and publishing frequency. Envision your ideal future with a professional editor in three years. Detail the production process, roles, and benefits. Identify tasks that are not getting done or are being delayed in your podcasting workflow. Do you require additional services besides editing? Think about graphic design, consultations, writing, social media, research, and guest booking. If you didn't have to edit, what would you focus on instead? Consider other aspects of your life or podcasting that you'd like to prioritize. List any non-negotiables, preferences, and decision criteria you have for selecting an editor. Determine how much you can afford to pay an editor, both per episode and on a monthly or seasonal basis. Create a list of potential editors or companies to consider before setting up calls. Ask prospective editors about the types of editing services they offer and inquire further if needed. Learn about their work process, including turnaround times, revisions, and methods of collaboration. Discuss how they handle non-standard requests or special events, such as corrections, urgent requests, or vacations. Find out how they ensure compliance with production standards and maintain their technical skills. Ask for evidence of their expertise and experience, such as references, a portfolio, or sample edits. Remember to take notes of their responses and impressions of their work to compare against your expectations for your show. https://howtopodcast.ca/

E109 - The Limitations of an Explicit Podcast - Advantages and Disadvantages of being explicit on your podcast
Episode 109 - The Limitations of an Explicit Podcast - Advantages and Disadvantages of being explicit on your podcast Setting Up Your Podcast: Understanding the Limits of an 'Explicit' Podcast When starting your podcast, it's essential to know the limitations that come with producing explicit content. Here's a simple guide to help you make informed decisions: 1. Censor Yourself or Be Labeled 'Explicit' You have the freedom to create a podcast with strong language, explicit discussions about sex, or graphic content. However, major podcast directories, like Apple Podcasts, prioritize child safety. If your content is explicit but not labeled as such, they may take action against your podcast. To avoid this, clearly mark your podcast as explicit when necessary. 2. Consider Your Audience Reach Creating an explicit podcast may limit your potential audience. Some countries, numbering up to 17, ban explicit podcasts, impacting hundreds of millions of potential listeners. Before going explicit, think about whether your content will attract more listeners than it might deter. 3. Impact on Advertising Revenue Certain advertisers avoid supporting explicit shows. So, if your podcast contains explicit material, it could limit your opportunities for advertising revenue. Consider whether the explicit label might affect your chances of attracting advertisers. 4. Popularity and Top Podcasts Only a small percentage of the most popular podcasts are explicit. If your goal is to be among the top podcasts, you might want to look at what the majority of successful shows are doing. Decide if you want to follow the path of the 85% non-explicit shows or the remaining 15% explicit ones. Carefully consider both options before making your choice. Remember, it's essential to know the potential consequences of producing an explicit podcast. Make informed decisions that align with your podcasting goals and target audience. By understanding the limitations, you can set up your podcast for success and avoid unnecessary setbacks.

E108 - Confidence versus Ego in Podcasting - is there room for either as a Podcaster
E108 - Confidence versus Ego in Podcasting - is there room for either as a Podcaster When it comes to podcasters, confidence plays a crucial role. It's important to have confidence and approach things with the mindset that success is attainable. Assuming the sale and expecting opportunities are valid strategies to adopt. However, it's also worth noting that you mentioned not expecting things or opportunities. So, how can we navigate this dilemma between being confident and believing in ourselves versus refraining from those expectations? Ultimately, confidence is key, but it shouldn't stem from ego. Rather, it should come from acknowledging the hard work and preparation invested in the podcasting journey. Speaking with confidence arises from knowing the subject matter thoroughly and being able to discuss it intelligently. Whether the topic of your podcast is, confidence comes from personal experience, thorough research, and the ability to substantiate one's arguments. Confidence is critical for progress. It's essential to assume success and envision yourself landing speaking engagements or being a guest on your dream podcast. This kind of confidence propels you forward. However, it's important to differentiate between confidence and ego. Ego arises when you begin to expect certain outcomes and results, and when they don't materialize, you blame external factors. To address this, it's necessary to examine your thinking. Ask yourself if you have done the necessary groundwork, laid the foundation, and paid your dues. Reflect on whether you have truly put in the effort. While the ego might still sting, it should not dictate your actions. Instead, use it as an opportunity for self-reflection. Consider what you could have done better and how you can improve. If your ego is causing distress, look inward for answers. Avoid blaming others or feeling entitled to opportunities. Instead, focus on personal growth and self-improvement. Take a moment to evaluate yourself honestly by standing in front of a mirror and asking, "What could I have done differently to ensure a positive outcome?" Remember, the key lies within your own actions and approach. By distinguishing confidence from ego and maintaining a healthy self-awareness, you can overcome obstacles, learn from experiences, and continue progressing in your podcasting endeavors. https://howtopodcast.ca/

E106 - How to understand podcast stats - Your Listening Habits Can Shed Some Light on This
E106 - How to understand podcast stats - Your Listening Habits Can Shed Some Light on This How to understand podcast stats It’s always nice to look at the numbers to see how your podcast is doing. But, podcast statistics can be confusing and complex. Here are some details about how the different figures work, and how to read them. Let’s get this out of the way first. A download is just a download of an episode. A stream doesn’t exist in podcasting. A listen , or a play , is when we know a human being has pressed the play button. Total audience numbers cannot be accurately worked out from downloads. In podcast analytics, no audio ever “streams”: the audio is always downloaded. In this article, we use the word “stream” to convey the action of pressing play on a podcast you’ve not downloaded yet. To a podcast hosting company, that looks the same as a download: because it technically is. Audio can be automatically downloaded to your phone, in case you want to hear it later. Or, audio can be downloaded when a listener wants to hear it - a “user-initiated download”. Your podcast hosting company doesn’t know if it’s an automatic download or a user-initiated download. It just knows it’s a download. No podcast hosting company knows whether a piece of audio has ever been listened-to (a “listen” or a “play”). It can only ever know it’s been downloaded. (Podcast apps do know: but most don’t share that data). And, of course, if an episode has had 2,000 downloads, that doesn’t mean it has 2,000 listeners. Automated downloads mean a podcast may be downloaded, but never listened-to. Or it might have been downloaded twice by someone. 13% of podcast downloads are never listened to. https://podnews.net/article/understanding-podcast-statistics ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

Question from Jen Mac - Thoughts on Niching Down, Narrowing Your Focus and How to do this - The Daily Dave
Question from Jen Mac - Thoughts on Niching Down, Narrowing Your Focus and How to do this - The Daily Dave Thanks Jen Mac for your question! Appreciate your contribution to the podcast! Please be sure to tell us about your show so that we can tell our audience about your podcast as well! What does ‘niching down’ mean? Niching down means identifying a smaller segment of your audience to target, so you can deliver a more specific and tailored offering that speaks to them directly, as opposed to a general offer that reaches a larger audience. When approaching the topic of niching down, many podcasters worry that by alienating a large group of listeners. But actually, the opposite is true – instead of just using a blanket approach to a large group of listeners, when you determine your niche, you increase your engagement with your community. Instead of trying to solve everything for everyone, niching down enables businesses to focus on the content that their listeners really need. It also offers the opportunity to really hone your expertise in a specific area and become the go to podcast for your niche, which can benefit your community in the long term. https://howtopodcast.ca/

Word of mouth is directly responsible for 19 percent of all purchases, and influences as much as 90 percent. Every human on Earth relies on word of mouth to make buying decisions. Yet even today, fewer than one percent of companies have an actual strategy for generating these crucial customer conversations. The key to activating customer chatter is the realization that same is lame. Nobody says "Let me tell you about this perfectly adequate experience I had last night." The strategic, operational differentiator is what gives customers something to tell a story about. Podcasters must dare to be different and exceed expectations in one or more palpable ways. That's when word of mouth becomes involuntary: The customers of these businesses simply must tell someone else. Let your podcast be the topic of discussion when you are not even in the room!

E104 - Show Me The Money - How to Make Money with very few listeners
E104 - Show Me The Money - How to Make Money with very few listeners Podcasting has become immensely popular in the last decade, and with podcast listeners being the fastest growing media audience , you know there’s a ton of potential fans for your show. But even if you have a great idea for a new podcast and a knack for building engaged, online audiences—how do you make money podcasting? Streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts pay out for streams, but the payout tends to be very low. Podcast sponsorships are one way, but for new podcasts, the likelihood of finding a high-paying sponsorship is slim unless you’re already a well-established figure. Traditional sponsorships tend to be out of reach for new podcasters because businesses are less willing to risk investing in a podcast without an established audience. So is it even possible for new podcasts to make money? The answer is yes. By setting up a few automated revenue streams, new podcasters can accrue passive income that grows alongside their audience, giving them time back to focus on podcasting. Affiliate marketing is a performance-based form of marketing where a business offers rewards to affiliates who are able to successfully bring customers to them. Affiliate marketing is a great way for any creator to monetize their content. In affiliate programs, businesses only payout after customers complete an agreed-upon action.

Goodbye to Podpage - The Free Plan is Over, What Now, PodcastForFree.com will show you the way
Goodbye to Podpage - The Free Plan is Over, What Now, PodcastForFree.com will show you the way So, a resource that I once promoted as a great free option is no longer free as of August 1 2023 - so time to pivot away from Podpage. For those of you that have followed my advice in the past around using Podpage, I wanted to give you my alternative going forward. I am setting up PodcastForFree.com which will give you a list of the free tools that you can use as a podcaster to start your show! From hosting, to websites, to tools like Pod.link (my Podpage replacement suggestion) to free editing via Audacity - you do not need to pay for tools to start a podcast - you can do this for free and I want to help you with the tools that I use everyday to create my shows! Why is this changing? Podpage’s free plan allowed podcasters to create publicly accessible podcast websites so they could try our service. Unfortunately, a lot of non-podcasters abused it and posted illegal or stolen content on the free sites. The good news is that a very small percentage of podcasters use the free plan as their official podcast website. Most upgrade to the Basic or Pro plan, so this change won’t impact too many legitimate websites. However, I know there are some of you who rely on Podpage Free for your official site, and I’m very sorry about this change. To make it easier, we are offering discounts on upgrading before August 1. How do I upgrade and keep my site? If you’d like to continue your service with Podpage , go to https://podpage.com/upgrade/ . There are currently two plans available, and here’s how to save money on each: Basic: Use coupon FREEUP10 to save $10 ($10 off your first month or first year) Pro: Use coupon FREEUP20 to save $20 on Pro ($20 off your first month or first year) These coupons are only valid until August 1, 2023. What happens if I don’t upgrade? All your data will still be safe and accessible through the Podpage dashboard, but your website will “Expire”, which means anyone who visits it will see an “Expired” screen. At any point, you can upgrade and turn it back on. https://podcastforfree.com/ https://howtopodcast.ca/

E103 - Five tips for creating artwork for your podcast episodes - The Podcast Owner's Manual Mini Series Here are a few tips for creating artwork for your podcast episodes: Choose a consistent theme: It's important to have a consistent theme for your podcast artwork so that it is easily recognizable to your audience. This could include a consistent color scheme, font, or style. Make it visually appealing: Your podcast artwork should be visually appealing and eye-catching to help it stand out in a crowded marketplace. Use high-quality images and graphics and be mindful of how it will look at different sizes and resolutions. Keep it simple: It's generally best to keep your podcast artwork simple and uncluttered. Too much text or too many images can make it difficult to read or understand. Use the right dimensions: Make sure that your artwork is the correct dimensions for the platform you are using. Different platforms have different requirements for artwork size, so be sure to check the guidelines before creating your artwork. Use high-quality images: Using high-quality images in your artwork will help it look professional and polished. Avoid using low-resolution or pixelated images as they will not look good when displayed at larger sizes. Overall, it's important to create artwork that is visually appealing, consistent with your brand, and meets the requirements of the platform you are using.

This input can offer valuable insights into what they enjoy and what can be improved, helping you refine your content.

Positive reviews can attract new listeners, and higher ratings can improve your podcast's visibility in search results. Social Media Engagement: Build an active presence on social media and encourage your audience to share your episodes, tag friends, and interact with your posts. This word-of-mouth promotion can expand your reach. Subscriber Growth: Encourage listeners to subscribe to your podcast. Subscribers are more likely to receive notifications of new episodes and stay engaged with your content. Crowdfunding and Donations: Set up crowdfunding campaigns or provide a way for your audience to make voluntary donations to support your podcast financially. Platforms like Patreon can be useful for this purpose. Participation in Q&A Episodes: Host Q&A episodes where you answer questions from your audience. Engaging with your listeners directly helps foster a sense of community and connection. Guest Recommendations: Encourage your audience to suggest potential guests or topics for future episodes. This can help you cater to their interests and expand your network of experts. Sharing Personal Stories: Invite your audience to share personal stories or experiences related to your podcast's theme. These stories can add depth and authenticity to your content. Spreading the Message: If your podcast focuses on a particular cause or mission, encourage your listeners to spread the message to raise awareness and effect positive change. Encourage Reviews of Products/Services: If you promote eco-friendly products or services on your podcast, ask your audience to leave reviews if they try them out. Positive reviews can support those businesses and reinforce your credibility. By involving your audience in various aspects of your podcast, you can foster a strong community, gain valuable support, and create content that resonates with your listeners.

Instagram Releases Threads - 4 Advantages and Disadvantages With New Social Media Platforms - The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips
Instagram Releases Threads - 4 Advantages and Disadvantages With New Social Media Platforms - The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips Threads, the new Twitter competitor launched by Matt, is a text-based conversation app released by Instagram. It allows users to share photos and videos while primarily focusing on text-based interactions. The app enables users to follow others and participate in public conversations. The social feed displays posts from followed accounts and recommended content. Posts can include up to 500 characters, links, photos, and videos up to five minutes long. Users can log in with their Instagram account on iPhone and Android devices, search for and follow other users, and customize their profile. The app offers features such as liking, commenting, sharing, and sending posts as tweets or messages. Integration with Instagram allows for seamless sharing between the two platforms. Advantages of Adopting a New Social Media Platform: Increased Reach: Joining a new social media platform allows you to expand your audience and reach new users who may not be active on your current platforms. Early Adopter Advantage: Being an early adopter of a new platform can give you a competitive advantage and help you establish a presence before the platform becomes crowded. Unique Features: New social media platforms often come with unique features and functionalities that can enhance your content creation and engagement with your audience. Tailored Content: Each social media platform has its own culture and user expectations. Adopting a new platform gives you an opportunity to create content specifically tailored to that platform's audience. Disadvantages of Adopting a New Social Media Platform: Limited User Base: New social media platforms may have a smaller user base compared to established platforms, which can limit your reach initially. Uncertain Future: The success and longevity of a new platform are uncertain. It's possible that the platform may not gain traction or could be shut down in the future, resulting in wasted time and effort. Divided Audience: Managing multiple social media platforms can be time-consuming and may result in a divided audience that follows you on different platforms, making it challenging to maintain consistent engagement. Learning Curve: Adopting a new platform requires time and effort to understand its features, user interface, and best practices, which can be a challenge if you're already managing other social media accounts. While adopting a new social media platform like Threads can offer advantages such as increased reach, early adopter advantage, unique features, and tailored content, there are also potential disadvantages such as a limited user base, an uncertain future, a divided audience, and a learning curve.

E96 - Battling the Fear of Failing At Our First Attempt As Podcasters
E96 - Battling the Fear of Failing At Our First Attempt As Podcasters Define Failure: Failure can be subjective and has different interpretations for each person. Generally, it refers to not meeting a desired outcome or falling short of expectations. In the context of podcasting, failure could mean not achieving the expected listener numbers, lacking engagement, receiving negative feedback, or discontinuing the podcast prematurely. Examples of Failure: a) Low listener numbers b) Lack of engagement c) Premature discontinuation To combat the fear of failing at the first attempt, podcasters can take the following steps: Set realistic expectations and understand that success may take time. Focus on continuous learning and improvement rather than striving for perfection. Seek feedback from listeners and use it constructively to refine the podcast. Surround yourself with a supportive community of fellow podcasters who can provide guidance and encouragement. In summary, failure in podcasting can be defined as not meeting desired outcomes, such as low listener numbers, lack of engagement, or discontinuation. The fear of failure often revolves around the fear of not succeeding with the first attempt. However, embracing failure as a learning opportunity, realizing that many successful podcasters experienced setbacks, and focusing on growth and iteration can help overcome this fear and pave the way for long-term podcasting success.

E93 - The Three Pillars to a Strong Podcast Presence - Audio, Video and Written Word
E93 - The Three Pillars to a Strong Podcast Presence - Audio, Video and Written Word As a podcaster, being active in three different mediums—audio, video, and written word—can significantly benefit your content creation, audience engagement, and overall reach. Here's an elaboration on each medium along with examples and reasons why it's important to be active in all three instances: Audio: Audio is the primary medium for podcasting, and it allows you to create immersive and engaging content through spoken word. By focusing on high-quality audio production, you can captivate your listeners and deliver valuable information, stories, and conversations. Here are some examples of being active in the audio medium: Publishing regular podcast episodes with well-crafted content and professional audio quality. Incorporating diverse formats, such as interviews, solo episodes, panel discussions, or storytelling. Experimenting with different styles, like narrative-driven episodes, educational deep-dives, or entertaining conversations. Leveraging your podcast's audio content for promotional clips or teasers on social media platforms. Why it's important: Audio is the core medium for podcasts, and investing in audio production ensures a compelling and enjoyable listening experience for your audience. Video: Video content offers visual engagement and complements your podcast's audio with a visual component. It provides an opportunity to expand your audience and engage with them in a different way. Here are some examples of being active in the video medium: Recording video versions of your podcast episodes, either as full-length videos or highlight clips. Livestreaming podcast recordings or hosting live Q&A sessions with your audience. Creating supplementary video content, such as behind-the-scenes footage, tutorials, or vlogs related to your podcast's topic. Sharing video snippets on social media platforms to promote your podcast and spark interest. Why it's important: Video content allows you to connect with a broader audience, enhance engagement, and leverage platforms like YouTube and social media for additional exposure. Written Word: While podcasting primarily relies on audio, incorporating the written word can amplify your reach, improve discoverability, and provide additional context and resources for your audience. Here are some examples of being active in the written word medium: Writing detailed show notes for each episode, including summaries, timestamps, guest information, and resource links. Creating blog posts or articles based on podcast episodes, expanding on the topics discussed or offering additional insights. Publishing transcripts of your episodes to improve accessibility, SEO, and provide altern

E92 - Ten Things to Include in Your Podcast Show Notes to Help You to be Found Online
E92 - Ten Things to Include in Your Podcast Show Notes to Help You to be Found Online When writing show notes for your podcast, there are several key elements and best practices to keep in mind. Show notes are a valuable tool for engaging your audience, providing additional information about your episodes, and improving your podcast's discoverability. Here are some essential elements and best practices for writing effective show notes: Episode Summary: Begin with a concise summary or overview of the episode's content. This should be a brief, attention-grabbing description that entices listeners to engage with the episode. Timestamps: Include timestamps for different segments or topics discussed during the episode. This allows listeners to easily navigate to specific sections they're interested in. Timestamps can be especially helpful for longer episodes or when covering multiple topics. Guest Information: If you have guest speakers on your podcast, provide a short introduction or bio for each guest. Mention their expertise, achievements, or any relevant background information. This helps establish credibility and gives listeners context about the guests' contributions. Resources and Links: Include any resources, articles, books, or websites mentioned in the episode. Hyperlink these resources whenever possible, making it easy for your audience to access them directly. This adds value to your show notes and enhances the learning experience for your listeners. Call-to-Action (CTA): Include a clear call-to-action at the end of your show notes. This could be a request to subscribe to your podcast, leave a review, follow you on social media, or join a newsletter. A well-placed CTA can help you grow your audience and build a community around your podcast. Keywords and SEO Optimization: Incorporate relevant keywords and phrases throughout your show notes. This can improve your podcast's search engine optimization (SEO) and increase its discoverability. Think about the words and phrases your target audience might use to search for content related to your episode. Formatting and Readability: Make your show notes easy to read and scan. Use subheadings, bullet points, or numbered lists to break up the text and make it more digestible. Consider using bold or italic formatting to highlight important information. Keep the paragraphs concise and organized. Branding and Consistency: Maintain consistency in your show notes' formatting and style to align with your podcast's brand. Use your podcast's logo, colors, or typography to create a cohesive visual experience. Consistency helps build brand recognition and reinforces your podcast's identity. Episode Transcript: Consider providing a full or partial transcript of your episode alongside the show notes. Transcripts can ma

E91 - CO-HOST - Tom Sanderson - Host of Tom Meets Interesting People, Starting Your Podcast, Get Organized and We Need More Podcasters The Podcast Tom Meets Interesting People delves deep into the projects and processes of anyone from voice actors to nuclear engineers. Each week, I will interview a different interesting person and help them share their story, discuss the challenges they have faced along the way, and look at the tools and techniques they have used to do what they do. In the process, I aim to help you understand what they do and why they do it. I aim to interview guests with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and knowledge. So far, I have met AI creators, hostages, and Twitch streamers. Each interview ends with a questionnaire, and in that, my guest only gets one swear word with Tom. The Host Originally from Manchester, England, Tom Sanderson is the host of Tom Meets Interesting People, the podcast you go to if you want to know how someone does what they do. In each episode, a new guest, from voice actors to nuclear engineers, shows up to tell Tom how they do what they do. We discuss the processes behind their work, reflect on the outcomes, and work together to give our audience a better understanding of their processes. Tom Meets Interesting People is in the Goodpods top 100 indie documentary chart. Before that, Tom earned his undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Northampton and is currently exploring postgraduate options. His dissertation explored how we form and maintain friendships in shared experiences, and this research was a UON Psychology Conference award winner in 2022. Prior to this, Tom worked in the care industry but now spends his time running Tom Sanderson Tutoring, a business that specializes in providing education options for students who are unable to enter mainstream education. https://tommeetsinterestingpeople.com/ ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

E89 - Six warnings for new podcasters about obsessing over stats
E89 - Six warnings for new podcasters about obsessing over stats As a new podcaster, it's natural to be curious about your podcast's performance and how it's resonating with your audience. While keeping an eye on your podcast's statistics can provide valuable insights, it's important not to become too obsessed with them. Here are some warnings to keep in mind: Don't let stats define your worth: It's easy to get caught up in the numbers and let them dictate your self-worth as a podcaster. Remember that your value goes beyond the download numbers or listener count. Focus on creating content that you're proud of and that resonates with your audience. Stats take time to build: Building a podcast audience takes time and consistency. It's not uncommon for new podcasts to have smaller listener numbers initially. Avoid comparing yourself to established podcasts and give yourself time to grow organically. Numbers can be misleading: Statistics can provide a general overview of your podcast's performance, but they don't tell the whole story. Downloads and listens are just one aspect of engagement. Your podcast may have a smaller but highly engaged audience that actively interacts with your content, which is more valuable than passive listeners. Quality over quantity: While it's important to track your podcast's growth, focusing solely on increasing numbers can lead to a decline in the quality of your content. Prioritize creating episodes that are informative, entertaining, and valuable to your listeners. Ultimately, content quality will play a significant role in attracting and retaining your audience. Enjoy the process: Podcasting should be enjoyable and fulfilling for you as a creator. Don't let the obsession with stats overshadow the joy of creating and sharing your passion. Remember why you started podcasting in the first place and focus on the journey rather than fixating on the destination. Use stats as learning opportunities: Instead of obsessing over stats, view them as tools for improvement. Analyze the data to identify patterns, understand what content resonates with your audience, and make informed decisions based on that feedback. Continuous improvement is essential, but it should be driven by a genuine desire to deliver value rather than chasing arbitrary numbers. Remember, building a successful podcast takes time, dedication, and a focus on creating meaningful content. While it's essential to keep track of your podcast's performance, try not to let statistics consume you. Stay focused on your vision, engage with your audience, and enjoy the process of podcasting. https://howtopodcast.ca/

E86 - Six Items That You Should Consider Getting When Starting Your Podcast - The Podcast Owner's Manual Mini Series Here is a list of basic gear that you'll need to record a podcast: A usb microphone: A good quality usb microphone is essential for producing high-quality audio. There are many different types of microphones to choose from, including dynamic microphones, condenser microphones, and USB microphones. Headphones: Wired Headphones are essential for monitoring your audio during recording and editing. Choose a pair that is comfortable and has good sound quality. A recording device : You'll need a device to capture your audio, such as a computer with recording software or a digital recorder. I use a Windows PC and the free Digital Audio Workstation (D.A.W.) Audacity. A pop filter: A pop filter is a device that attaches to your microphone and helps to reduce popping sounds caused by hard consonants , such as "p" and "b." This can help improve the overall audio quality of your podcast. A microphone stand: A microphone stand can help to position your microphone at the right height and distance from your mouth. I like the standard on stage mic stand that you will see at any concert. I personally do not like to have my microphone stand bolted to my desk - I prefer a stand alone mic stand for my set up. Cables: You'll need cables to connect your microphone to your recording device if you choose to not use a usb mic. This is the basic gear that you'll need to get started with recording a podcast. You may want to consider adding additional equipment, such as a mixer or additional microphones, as your podcast grows. http://howtopodcast.ca/

E83 - The Co-Host Conundrum - Navigating Roles and Responsibilities in Podcasting
E83 - The Co-Host Conundrum - Navigating Roles and Responsibilities in Podcasting When planning a new podcast, it's important to have a clear discussion with your co-hosts and/or producer about a range of topics that will impact the success of your podcast. Here are some key things to discuss: Delegation of tasks : It's important to have a clear understanding of who will be responsible for what tasks related to the podcast. This might include research, booking guests, writing scripts, recording, editing, promoting on social media, and managing the website. Make sure everyone knows what is expected of them, and ensure that tasks are delegated based on individual strengths and skills. Monetization: Decide how you plan to make money from the podcast. Will you run ads? Will you offer sponsorships? Will you charge for premium content? Make sure everyone is on the same page regarding the monetization strategy, and discuss how any revenue will be split among the co-hosts. Splitting costs: Determine how you will split the costs of producing the podcast, including equipment, hosting fees, and any other expenses. Will everyone contribute an equal amount, or will costs be divided based on individual responsibilities? Social media: Discuss how you plan to promote the podcast on social media, and decide who will be responsible for creating and managing social media accounts. Consider creating a content calendar and scheduling posts in advance to ensure consistent promotion. Website: Determine who will be responsible for creating and managing the podcast's website. This might include designing the site, posting episodes, and managing any online communities related to the podcast. Editing: Decide who will be responsible for editing each episode, and discuss any specific editing requirements or styles that should be used. Consider using a shared cloud-based storage solution, like Dropbox, to keep audio files organized and accessible. Responsibilities for each co-host: Make sure everyone understands their individual responsibilities and commitments, including recording schedules, deadlines, and any other expectations. This will help ensure that everyone is on the same page and that the podcast runs smoothly. In summary, when planning a new podcast, it's crucial to have an open discussion with your co-hosts or producer about key topics such as task delegation, monetization, splitting costs, social media, website management, editing, and individual responsibilities. Having a clear understanding of each person's role and expectations can help ensure the success of your podcast. https://howtopod

E82 - Leveraging Toastmasters to Help New Podcasters and How To Stay Motivated with Guest CO-HOST - Debbie Williams
E82 - Leveraging Toastmasters to Help New Podcasters and How To Stay Motivated with Guest CO-HOST - Debbie Williams My name is Debbie Williams, I have been a member of toastmasters since May 2017 and I enjoy the art of storytelling. The podcast came about due in part by others requesting that I start one, and the fact that my daughter bought me a microphone for my birthday in May 2020. I mean, it was lock-down, what else was I going to do! Stories have always been a way to communicate, and parables have always been used to help us understand real life. Before people learned how to write, they would tell each other stories, those stories were our history books. Sometimes we may underestimate the power we have with our speaking voice. We all have a story that somebody else wants to hear. We all have it within us to inform, educate, and inspire others. I’m known to frequent the gym, go for runs, swim, cycle and I’ve completed 12 spartan races to date. I’m also known for my banana cake and the fact that I’m not so great at making other flavours! Debbie Williams is the creator and host of the one-of-a-kind storytelling podcast featured. Created in 2020, each episode is designed to delve into stories from Debbie’s past in a unique way with real emotions and feelings. Delving into the latest big topics including mental health, BLM, and of course Covid-19. You’ll also get light relief with Debbie’s humour and wit which shines through the microphone as she transports you into a bit of escapism for around 10 mins, which let’s face it – we could all do with at times. We talk about how - Toastmasters helped Debbie go from nervous first-time Toastmaster attendee to leadership within the Toastmaster Community, - How to stay motivated as a podcaster - How to unlock the power of your own voice in sharing your story https://debbiewilliamspodcast.com/

You Have What You Need To Start A Podcast - Don't Over Spend When Starting Out - The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips The Big Idea - Don't let technology and lack of finances stop you in your tracks when starting your show. Yes, you can always improve and upgrade - there are many companies and resources that will be perfectly happy to accept your money for new gear, resources, tools and advice - but don't fall into a money pit that you can't escape from when starting your show! I share how Aerosmith used a sugar packet to record the intro of Sweet Emotion, yes, a "free" package of sugar just lying around was the perfect tool required in the intro to this song. A free, again, free, package of sugar. Aerosmith had all the money to buy the perfect whatever for the intro to Sweet Emotion, but instead, they simply used what was at hand, in the moment and it was perfect. I would hazard to guess that you have everything you need to start, don't spend money you don't have - use what you have and grow from there!

In addition, he taught beginning and advanced meditation for several years at the Lotus Center in Okla. City and established the Quest Institute meditation center in Dallas.

I had a conversation with a pro-Facebook Podcaster that believes wholeheartedly that Facebook is the best tool to grow his show - it is working for him and I am so pleased to see that he has found his engaged audience and support him fully. I did ask though, is there SEO (Search Engine Optimization) for Facebook? If you Googled your Podcast would Google return any of your content from Facebook in the search results. He seemed stunned at that question as Facebook is the be all and end all for his podcast.

I challenge you to test this for your podcast and share your results with me at http://howtopodcast.ca/ My top 6 results on page one of Google (the Holy Grail of Search Results is obviously page 1!!) were, - My Podcast on Apple - My Website (which I own) - My Podcast Channel on YouTube for my show - My Hosting Site for my podcast - Buzzsprout - My Podcast on Spotify - My Podcast on Podchaser Not a single mention of any of my social media accounts - none of my Facebook or Instagram ads resulted in being found on the biggest search engine in the world!

E74 - Grow Your Audience, Monetization for a new show, interaction with listeners with Guest CO-HOST - Vanessa Y Rogers - Fabric of Folklore Podcast As an avid reader, and as a parent of little children, Vanessa Rogers found myself continuously checking out folktales from the library. We’d snuggle up together, crack open the book, and delight in discovering the creativity of a different culture through its folklore. My children and I found the folktales fascinating, but they always left me wanting more. I wanted to understand its origins and meaning. What was the story trying to tell us? Who were the people in the story? Were they based off true individuals, or were they entirely fictional? What was so important about this story that it survived oral tradition through the decades until it was transcribed into book form. Each story whether it be folktale, fairytale, myth or legend is like a mystery enclosed beneath the budding petals of a flower. I cannot wait to uncover the hidden depths of these stories and cultures, together, with you. https://fabricoffolklore.com/ http://howtopodcast.ca/

At age 16, I plunged into conducting the school choir to fill a leadership void, and have been teaching and leading ensembles ever since. I graduated from Brown University in 2017 and explored consulting, F&B operations, and tech, but was always singing, teaching, and directing music on the side. In 2019, I pivoted completely in pursuit of my passion full time - to spread the same joy and fulfillment that I’ve had in music. Today, I have a private voice studio teaching 1:1 and small group lessons. I also run a cappella programs to broaden access and build community.

The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - Get a Free Clickable Link To Your Podcast and Share It Pod.Link Pod.link FAQDoes it cost me anything to have my show on pod.link? No! Pod.link is made available to all podcasters at no charge. We invite podcasters to put the same creative energy into your pod.link page as you did when you dreamed up your podcast! A. Pod.link provides a singular page by which you can direct listeners directly to your show on their podcatcher of choice. In order for your show to appear on pod.link, it needs to be distributed and available on one or more of the major podcatchers (think: Spotify, Apple, Google), and/or have a fully functional and valid RSS feed. You can add a show by following either of the below steps Add by RSS feed: https://pod.link/id?href={feed_href} Begin your search with "index:" then type the name of the show: A. Once you’ve found your show on pod.link (or we’ve ingested it using the method above), you’ll need to claim your podcast. To do this, scroll to the bottom of the page and hit “Claim Podcast”: A new modal will pop up providing you a sneak peek of the email address associated with your RSS feed. You will need to input the email address exactly as it appears in your feed, then hit “Verify Ownership”. We’ll send an email with an email verification link, so keep a lookout in your inbox (and junk folder) in order to finalize your podcast claim. Pod.link checks your email address entry against the email address as it appears in your RSS feed. If your hosting platform gives you the option to hide your email address, you’ll first need to unhide your email address and wait ~15 minutes before attempting to claim your podcast again. We’ll pull the updated RSS feed and match the email address before sending a verification email. If you no longer have access to that email address, you’ll need to log into your hosting provider’s platform and update your RSS feed with the correct email address, then allow time for the RSS feed to update before attempting to claim your show again. We are unable to make any exceptions to feed verifications. Your podcast is the result of your hard work and dedication, so it’s important to ensure that you (and you alone) are able to claim your podcast. Just as Spotify and other major players require that you confirm you own your RSS feed, we do, too. Once confirmed, you’ll be able to claim and customize your pod.link page to make it your own–just as you’ve done with your show! Yes, absolutely! In the pod.link editor, you’ll be able to add your Google Analytics tracking ID. Absolutely! It’s your show, and who wants to share an alphanumeric URL anyway?

Being Quiet When Your Guest Speaks - The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips
Being Quiet When Your Guest Speaks - The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips To save time in editing, and, when you are hosting with a guest on your show, Stay quiet while your guests speak! It is so tempting to drop in simple phrases like “yes” and “right” and “okay” while your guests speak. Those are natural parts of language that we use without realizing, but they can distract your listeners. Yes, you can remove them during editing, but that’s a lot of unnecessary work. It’s easier to train yourself to limit interjections and allow your guest or co-host to complete their thought. Learning to be an active listener can translate beyond your podcast - you can be a better listener at work, in your home, with family and friends! When you have a guest on your show, it is about them! Let them talk. Be engaging without being in the way! If you need help with your podcast, if you are looking for an inclusive podcast community focused on you, if you are looking for a caring coach - not a snarky judge, head over to our site - we would love to connect with you today!

E63 - Audio vs Video Podcasting - The Podcast Owner's Manual Mini Series
E63 - Audio vs Video Podcasting - The Podcast Owner's Manual Mini Series Audio vs Video Podcasting - or both? There are a few key differences between audio and video podcasts: Production time: Video podcasts typically take longer to produce than audio podcasts because they involve creating and editing video content in addition to the audio. Equipment: Audio podcasts generally require less equipment than video podcasts. Audio podcasts can often be recorded using just a microphone and a computer, while video podcasts typically require a camera and lighting equipment in addition to audio recording equipment. Distribution: Audio podcasts are typically distributed through podcast directories like Apple Podcasts or Spotify, while video podcasts may also be distributed through platforms like YouTube or Vimeo. Engagement: Some people find it easier to engage with audio podcasts while doing other activities, such as driving or exercising, while video podcasts may require more attention and may be more suitable for watching at home or on a device with a larger screen. Monetization: There are many different ways to monetize podcasts, but video podcasts may have more opportunities for revenue through ads or sponsorships. Overall, the decision to produce an audio or video podcast will depend on your goals and resources. Both types of podcasts have their own unique benefits and can be effective ways to reach an audience. ___ http://howtopodcast.ca/ Podcasting Tips, How To Podcast, Start A Podcast, School, Podcast, Podcaster, Podcast Review

E55 - Fourteen Examples Of ‘Bad’ Podcast Coaching To Look Out For 14 Examples Of ‘Bad’ Coaching To Look Out For While no one wants to criticize a fellow industry professional, every experienced coach has seen their share of “bad” coaching. Determining what “bad” coaching means can be subjective, but there are some elements that anyone would agree define the term. When vetting potential podcast and content coaches, it’s critical for prospective clients to be aware of red flags that denote a poorly developed coaching practice. Here are 14 examples of things some coaches may do that clients should keep an eye out for. 1. Not Practicing The Values They Preach 2. Believing They Have All The Answers 3. Placating Without Getting Real Or Going Deep 4. Compromising Client Confidentiality 5. Predicting Your Future 6. Lacking Professional Ethics 7. It is all about them and not The Client 8. Not Investing In Their Own Personal Development 9. Lacking Expertise Or Experience In Their Field 10. Not Listening Actively To Client Needs 11. Not Believing In Their Clients 12. Overpromising And Under Delivering 13. When a Coach is embarrassed by their own actions or content 14. Warning Flags of a bad Coach A bad coach can easily be identified by any of these traits… Arrogance Self-absorbed Egotistical Self-destructive Dismissive Judgmental Do as I say not as I do Inappropriate Start a war with others just to get publicity or noticed Pushy Snarky Cliquey http://howtopodcast.ca/

What are you knowledgeable about or interested in learning more about? Chances are, if you are passionate about a subject, you will be more motivated to create content about it. Consider your target audience. Who do you want to reach with your content? What topics would be of interest to them? Look at what's popular. What are people talking about or interested in right now? You don't necessarily want to follow trends blindly, but it can be helpful to know what's currently popular in your field. Do some research. Look at other content in your industry and see what topics are being covered. You don't want to copy what others are doing, but you can get ideas and see what gaps in the market exist that you could potentially fill. Test out a few ideas. If you're still unsure, try creating some content on a few different topics and see how it is received. This can help you gauge what resonates with your audience and what doesn't. Ultimately, the best topic for your content will depend on your interests, audience, and goals. It's important to choose a topic that you are knowledgeable about and can create meaningful content for. http://howtopodcast.ca/

E48 - Chat GPT, Voice A I example and a new monthly zoom group invite for you We are starting a monthly Zoom Podcast Hang out starting in February 2023 on the first Friday of each month starting at 10 am est Why 10 am? I will be getting home from working an overnight shift, so we will try this time slot for now and adjust/add to it depending on your response! If 1 person attends - great, more than one great! In preparing for this monthly get together, I wanted to play with Chat GPT I asked Chat GPT - Why is building community important in podcasting? Here was the response from Chat GPT to my question, "Building a community around your podcast can be beneficial for a number of reasons. First and foremost, having a community of listeners can help to build a sense of loyalty and engagement with your show. When listeners feel like they are part of a community, they are more likely to continue listening to your podcast and to recommend it to others. Additionally, having a community can provide a source of feedback and ideas for future episodes. This can help to keep your content fresh and relevant, and can also help to ensure that you are meeting the needs and interests of your listeners. Finally, a strong community can serve as a source of support and encouragement, which can be especially important if you are just starting out as a podcaster." I went a step further and asked Chat GPT to apply their answer to a group zoom call for podcasters. I asked Chat GPT the following... "How do we do this on a zoom group chat?" Here was the response from Chat GPT There are several ways that you can build community within a Zoom group chat: 1. Encourage participation: Encourage group members to ask questions, share their thoughts, and engage in discussions. 2. Foster a sense of inclusivity: Make sure that everyone feels welcome and valued within the group. 3. Be responsive: Be sure to respond to questions and comments in a timely manner, and encourage other group members to do the same. 4. Encourage sharing: Encourage group members to share resources, recommendations, and other relevant information with one another. 5. Create a sense of belonging: Help group members feel like they are part of a shared experience by using in-jokes, inside jokes, and other shared experiences. 6. Plan regular events: Consider organizing regular events or activities, such as virtual happy hours or book

E47 - What is Working and What I Need to Improve on as a Podcaster So we are nearing the end of 2022 - Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to everyone! As I close off a great podcast year, full of new friendships, great connections and growth - both personally and for my various podcasts. I just wanted to look back at some things that went well for me and something that I dropped the ball on this year - there is always room for improvement. On December 1st I started a daily podcast for 25 episodes - counting down to Christmas. The podcast was called the Daily Santa Podcast. Each episode was 12-20 mins in length and took 4 to 5 hours to script, create, record and edit - add on social media promotion and website updates, this was a monster task - keep in mind some podcasters don't progress past episode 7 when they start a show. I wanted to try a daily podcast, and more importantly - I wanted to create content for families to gather around and use to help everyone be better humans! Check it out if you have a chance - I would love to hear your thoughts on this podcast! So, my challenge for you whether you have started your podcast or not - what have you done well in 2022 and what can you improve on in the new year? Be very aware of what is going well and where you could improve - this is the key to growth! Wishing you safety, health and happiness in the new year - I can't wait to celebrate your new podcast in 2023 - I would be honoured to be apart of your new show! https://dailysantapodcast.com/ http://howtopodcast.ca/ https://truemediasolutions.ca/

E42 - Going The Extra Mile What Does It Mean For Content Creators and Podcasters with Guest CO HOST - Tamzin Hall
E42 - Going The Extra Mile What Does It Mean For Content Creators and Podcasters with Guest CO HOST - Tamzin Hall Where did the term/saying "To go the extra mile" come from? The first records of the phrase go the extra mile come from around 1900. It’s a reference to a line from Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount in the Bible: “If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.” Many people interpret it to mean that they should always try to do more than is asked of them. In historical times, the Jews resented and even hated the Romans because of the Roman Empire's heavy-handed taxes and laws. One of those laws required anyone twelve years or older to carry a soldier's gear for an entire mile if they were asked. It was in light of that law that Jesus taught the principle of going an extra mile. When we go beyond the basics, the law, the minimum requirement - in this case carrying a soldier's gear for a mile out of our way. we find that as we volunteer to go the extra mile, it is in that moment that our audience truly connects with us and people see that we truly care - we go beyond legal requirements and do the extra! How does this relate to podcasting?

EPISODE 41 - CO-HOST - Tamzin Hall On Motivating Our Fellow Podcasters and Apple Versus Android Tamzin shared her Jar System - how to keep those thoughts, comments and words of encouragement handy to keep you motivated as a content creator and podcaster! Here are some suggestions for the Jar... - Confidence Jar - add a note into a jar of all the times you have been and felt confident. When you are feeling like you need a confidence boost, reach into the jar and you have all the evidence you need. - Mindfulness Jar - fill the jar with mindful activities you love, then when you are feeling overwhelmed, reach into the jar and pull a note out. I have a pre-made jar that was given to me. - I am Great Jar - fill your jar with post-it notes, notes and words of all the time someone has given you a compliment, testimonial or said something nice to you. - Happiness Jar - fill your jar with times, experiences and examples of all the times you have been happy. As you navigate throughout your days, and you feel happiness, add notes to your jar. - Gratitude Jar - at the end of each day, add three things you are grateful for into your jar. When you need a boost of gratitude - dip your hand in your jar. We shared some stats on Android vs Apple IOs percentages around the world Who has more market share Apple or Android? Market share of mobile operating systems worldwide 2012-2022. Android maintained its position as the leading mobile operating system worldwide in November 2022, controlling the mobile OS market with a close to 71 percent share, while iOS accounted for around 28 percent of the mobile operating system market - US Numbers: iOS 54.42% Android 45.25% - Canada Numbers: iOS 58.47% Android 40.94% - Europe Numbers: Android 61.05% iOS 38.47% - Worldwide Numbers: Android 70.96% iOS 28.43% Source: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/ Remember to include both Android and Apple Users in your Call To Action Requests - if you focus on only one platform at the expense of the other, you may alienate a portion of your audience by doing so! https://www.tamzinhallcoaching.co.uk/ Tamzin Hall Coaching YouTube Channel ___ HowToPodcast.ca Podcast created by TrueMediaSolutions.ca Have a podcast and need a great website?

E36 - A Small Audience is Your Super Power Advantage - Celebrate Them
EPISODE 36 - A Small Audience is Your Super Power Advantage - Celebrate Them Starting Small is your Super Power Advantage Bigger Doesn’t Mean Better Typically, most people think the bigger the audience, the more success they will experience. But here’s the truth of the matter… Bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better. You can thrive with a tiny audience. There’s actually an advantage that you have with a smaller audience. Better Intimacy You can create intimacy in a greater way than somebody who has a bigger audience ever could. You can do all kinds of things with a smaller group and get to know them on a much deeper, more intimate level than anybody with a big audience can do. They just can’t do the certain things that you can at scale and it gives you an advantage to know those people better than they know themselves. With a small audience you can get to know these people better than they know themselves, you know what they’re thinking, feeling or doing, and you can support them in making progress with the challenges or skills that they want to learn. Better Personalization You can personalize your responses, your marketing, your approach to each person. People with a bigger audience can’t do that. If they had an audience of 100,000 people, there’s no way they can personalize the experience to each individual person. But when you have an audience of just a few hundred people, you absolutely can. And that is going to lead to higher conversions. Better Follow Up And number three, follow-up. When you have a smaller audience, you can follow up in all kinds of creative ways that people with big audiences can’t do. You can send personal voice or video messages. You can text people directly and communicate with them in a way that people with a big audience can’t do at scale. So, use that to your advantage. Invite people to send you direct messages, correspond with you and get creative. When you have a smaller audience and start building a deeper, more intimate relationship with that audience, your conversions are going to be way higher. Use a Smaller Audience to Your Advantage With a smaller audience, use your advantage to be able to create Intimacy Personalization follow up Build your foundation with a smaller audience - try things out, get feedback, enjoy the community you build today. As your community grows you might not have the luxury of time and interaction that you have right now ___ Try Buzzsprout - receive $20 Buzzsprout Credit (sent after 2nd paid invoice) podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/ Have a podcast and need a great website? <a href="https://www.podpage.com/?via=try-

EPISODE 34 - Some Stats From Our Show and Greetings To Our Listeners Podcasters love their stats! We seem to thirst insatiably for more and more and more listeners! In this episode I share some of my stats with you and share the countries currently listening as well as some info on the ages of some of my listeners - interesting stuff! Wherever you are listening in from - thanks for taking time to do so! Why do we love stats so much? The headlines in the media are filled with that latest stats. Stats sell. The stats are often quoted from the latest reports. People then parrot them around like they’re fact when most of them are complete garbage. When people get out of hand quoting stats I like to throw out a stat of my own! 73.6% of all statistics are made up. I say it deadpanned. Often I’ll get some people look at me like, “really?” Or as Mark Twain popularized the quote most attributed to the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Benjamin Disraeli, “There are three kinds of lies: lies, darn lies and statistics.” The quote is meant to highlight the deceiving but persuasive power of numbers. As of the time of this recording, this very podcast is being listened to in the USA, Canada, Australia, India, United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Morocco and Tunisia! My listeners range in age from 0 to 59 - no 60 year old listeners - interesting! As a new podcaster, use your stats to learn more about the listeners that are tuning in, but don't obsess over numbers - it will happen, just look at every band that became an overnight sensation - they played their share of empty bars, parking lots and odd locations in the early days - they played to nobody, they were discouraged - the only podcast guaranteed to get listeners are the active podcasts - be active - keep going!

E33 - How To Get Your Guest To Share Their Appearance On Your Podcast
EPISODE 33 - How To Get Your Guest To Share Their Appearance On Your Podcast So you want your guest to share their appearance on your podcast episode - how do you do that? Is there an effective way to do so? Is it really their responsibility as a guest to share their episode with their community? Here are 7 Things to Consider when working with a guest on your show! (1) Be tactful when sharing their episode on Social Media One example of a way to leverage this is to tag your guest in an Instagram story. The guest will likely repost the story and put a swipe up to allow their followers to check out the interview (2) Make their interview with you on your show worth sharing It's great when a guest makes comments such as “no one has ever asked me this” or “I can tell that you did your homework.” The guest can tell if you are genuinely interested in what they have to share or if you are attempting to cash in on their skill or notoriety. A prepared interview will immediately allow you to stand out and increase the likelihood that the guest will share the episode because it makes them look good. (3) Create easy to share assets for your guest When booking the interview, ask if they need images or audio clips to promote the episode. I love Canva for this (4) Ask - You do not have because you did not ask One way to treat this is only to require a guest to share if they approach you to be on your podcast. If you've invited the guest, you shouldn't need them to share the episode. (5) Give sincere appreciation for their time Our gratitude for those helping us in any way spurs them to do more favors for us or pay it forward—and research even proves this when you express your gratitude to someone, and they're likely to help again. (6) It is not - I repeat - it is not their responsibility to share the episode with their community It is a good rule of thumb never to expect a guest to share the episode. Your responsibility as a host is to market your show. It is a “cherry on top” moment when the guest is gracious to promote your interview with their network. (7) Provide your guest with an interview that they haven't done anywhere else - don't repeat another interview elsewhere My go to question for my guests in the pre-interview - What would serve you in this episode? Is there anything that you haven't had the opportunity to discuss on a podcast that would add to the library of content that you have already created elsewhere? What topic would make this episode unique for you as a guest? As a podcast host YOU become a part of your guests promo team - your guest has paid you with their time, your listener pays you with their at

E32 - Be Heard and Be Found Via Voice Search on Alexa, Google and Everywhere
EPISODE 32 - Be Heard and Be Found Via Voice Search on Alexa, Google and Everywhere What Is Voice Search? Voice search is the action of using speech to ask questions and give commands to compatible devices like smartphones or smart speakers. The searcher speaks to the device and the device fulfills the command or answers the question. How Does Voice Search Work in Basic Terms? Without getting too deep into the technical details of voice search, digital voice assistants work by: Processing and transcribing human speech into text Analyzing the text to detect questions and commands Connecting to external data sources such as search engines to find the relevant information Translating that information into a digestible format to fulfill the user’s intent Who Are The Major Players In The Voice Search Market? The major players in the US smart speaker market are as follows (in order of market share): Amazon (63.2%) Google (31%) Other (5.8%) How Can You Optimize Your Website for Voice Search? Successful optimizing of content for voice search comes down to these things: Ensure your content is found on all relevant major data sources (Google Search, Google Maps, Apple Maps, Wikipedia, etc.) Use traditional SEO best practices to rank your webpages and/or listings high in search engines. Your content can be perfectly structured for voice search, but if it’s not on Page 1, it’s unlikely to be pulled in as the answer. Your content must be succinct and answer questions in simple terms. Tip: Structure your content and answers to that of a 6-7th-grade reading !

EPISODE 31 - Where to Host Your Podcast - Anchor vs Buzzsprout vs Libsyn Anchor: https://anchor.fm/ - Free, no monthly cap to how many episodes that you can upload - Free has a downside - people starting a podcast and then abandoning them clogging up the podcast "sink" with throw away podcasts Free music resources - intros, music beds, transitions - free to use! Can record directly on Anchor - I don't, I use Audacity. Allows video podcasts distributed directly to Spotify only (at the time of this recording) simple to use Not much community or training support has always been good to date for me Buzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/ If you want to try podcasting for free - this is a better option in my books because Buzzsprout will remove your free episodes after a certain date - cleaner than Anchor in that way Better stats than Anchor - comparable to Libsyn Has paid option - when you start paying - you must continue to pay to keep your podcast active - stop paying, podcast is removed from all players! Monthly plans are based on total hours used - different tiers available. I prefer to think in terms of time - easier to plan and if there is a short amount of time left at the end of the month, use it up with a bonus episode/content Great support, training and communication Easy to connect to podcast players (Apple, Google, Spotify etc.) Libsyn: https://libsyn.com/ Pretty popular option - often mentioned by older podcasters has been there for a long time Great support, training and communication A bit of a learning curve for newbies No free monthly plan - Why? Big miss Monthly plans based on file size instead of amount of time used - seems clunky, requires explanation and extra work to figure out the size of your files it's not the size that counts, it is the time!

E28 - CO-HOST - Lisa Zawrotny - How to stay engaged with guests beyond the interview
EPISODE 28 - CO-HOST - Lisa Zawrotny - How to stay engaged with guests beyond the interview In this episode we look at: - How to get more done by doing less - Getting the best out of your guest interviews - building community with your guests (pre and post interview) Lisa is the founder of Positively Productive Systems and the host of the Positively Living Podcast. After experiencing a deeply overwhelming time in my life juggling multiple roles as a caregiver, wife, mother, and business owner, I am now a Productivity + Accountability Coach certified in time and stress management helping other multi-passionate entrepreneurs who struggle to balance business and family. Through my podcast, online programs, and coaching, I show you how to boost productivity and avoid burnout while making it feel simple and sustainable. When I’m not sharing about the wonders of simplicity, self-care, and systems, I’m playing music (lately it’s self-taught guitar or I’m cranking up classic rock), drinking coffee (iced or hot), and watching movies with my husband and kiddos…or reading while trapped under a cat. LISA'S STORY I lived for years with clutter and chaos in my home due to caring for a sick parent (my Mom had Alzheimer’s) while managing a household with husband, kids and cats…all while attempting to run multiple businesses. It was, without a doubt, one of the most difficult times in my life. I survived it by ignoring non-essentials and allowing them to pile up around me. (I later realized I had sacrificed some essentials too.) I let go of as much as I could and focused on keeping my mother and my two very small children safe and well and socialized, though I didn’t always do the same for me. I rode the roller coaster of emotions that comes with constant uncertainty and sleep deprivation, mom guilt and caregiver guilt, and so much more. When my time caring for my mother came to an end, I looked around and was shocked at the fall out. I was ashamed and weary and I didn’t like who I was or want to live like that anymore. I didn’t want my family to live like that anymore. So I set out to change it. And me. I slowly began to care for myself far more than I had for years, exploring holistic remedies and reteaching myself how to embrace rest and balance. I read tons of books and listened to thought leaders and expert organizers who inspired me to clear our space and follow my calling. As I did this, I saw how much it changed my whole family…how much it healed us…and knew I had to help others experience that too. I have lived through extreme stress, mom guilt, self-care struggles, codependency, the caregiver life, corporate world angst, direct sales drama, marital challenges, diet and exercise woahs, entrepreneurial endeavors, and the quest for holistic living in a compartmentalize world that sets us up for burn out. </p

E27 - What a Great Guitar Player Has Taught Me About Life and Podcasting
EPISODE 27 - Have you ever come across someone that does what you do, but way better than you? A better singer, a better musician, a funnier comedian, better author, mom, dad, student, employee - the list goes on. What do YOU do when you come face to face with someone better? As a musician I have spent my time in recording studios and on stage, interacting with music lovers, fellow musicians and straight up PROS! It can be a wee bit intimidating when someone is better than you are. We once had a band want a sample of our music before agreeing to have us open for them - the reason why? To see if we were better than the main act - we didn't get the gig by the way... I'll leave this open ended as to why you think that was... In Podcasting we are surrounded by GIANTS! Old School podcasters and up and comers that sweep through our space and suck the air out of the room leaving us, sitting alone, in our podcast space, staring at a mic, a blank screen and our stats thinking maybe... "What am I doing here? They are so much better". I have TWO Responses when I meet a better guitar player or musician (A) Wow they are amazing - I have to go practice and learn more from them, I am so inspired! (B) I am terrible, sell my gear and pack it in, I am so discouraged! Have YOU ever felt this way about someone better in your life? I would love to hear your thoughts on this, your experience and your outcome! I am hoping that this episode helps YOU to be inspired by others instead of being discouraged. Just remember... someone is looking at YOU right now as their inspiration! Yes, it is true! YOU INSPIRE PEOPLE! Even if only 1 person buys your book, listens to an episode of your podcast or shows up for your concert - you are inspiring someone today JUST by showing up! Accept your role! Your community is waiting for you. Hit record, finish the book, get that guitar out of that case and strum - we are here, for YOU! ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

EPISODE 23 - Fun in Audacity - Creating Fake Commercials and Having Some Fun So I love, love, love Audacity! I have been an early user of Audacity - before there were podcasts! Yes! before there were podcasts, I used my Audacity program to mix band rehearsals, edit audio tracks and leverage this great resource to help produce music for all of the various bands and artists that recorded with me! Did I tell you that I love Audacity? Well, it is true - I do! I don't think that I will stray far into another software - I will stick with what works! If you have an Audacity question, hit me up and let's nerd out together! I would love to help you out! So, I was lamenting that I don't have commercial sponsors for my 6 weekly podcasts - yes 6! So, I thought I would make up fake commercials so that I could insert them into my podcasts here and there and play with ad placement etc. Just for fun! I don't have a sales funnel to stuff you into, so this is just for fun! So I give you 3 different commercials - There is a chicken, an alternative to Etsy and a horse! Sounds interesting, right? Head over to my site and leave me a voice message - what did you think of these 3 - which is your fav? If you need a commercial, or you need help with Audacity, reach out! You are not alone!

E22 - Why Static Image Posts on YouTube are the BEST!
EPISODE 22 - Why Static Image Posts on YouTube are the BEST! Woah, Dave have you lost it? Static Images on YouTube? A video first platform? What are you talking about?! You lost me! Ok, ok... settle down class. I know this episode title will trigger all of the élite YouTubers out there and MANY PODCASTERS! But this episode isn't for you! So press stop, and go on with your day! Are they gone?! Ok, let's continue! A static image post on YouTube is simply a picture with an mp3 audio file attached to it. I use a tool I found called One Image Music Video at Start with Canva - they have a free plan, go to templates search for "YouTube Thumbnails" pick a template you like, change the words, colors, images to suit your podcast and download the image! What are the benefits to uploading a static image to YouTube? (1) YouTube has no limits to how many episodes you can upload at one time like a media host does for your audio versions - that is great! (2) Some people (shockingly) listen to videos on YouTube with their phone in their pocket - hold for shock and amazement, I know right?! (3) Your interview guest will not have to wait for your audio episode to release months after the interview (4) YouTube is like a publicly accessible Google Drive or Drop Box! Let YouTube be an external hard drive, back up for your episodes just in case your computer goes wonky and you can't access your completed files - one more tool to have an extra copy of your work! (5) People will find it - and that is good (6) Some guests DO NOT want to be on camera - this is a great alternative! I know that YouTube is a video first platform - I do go back in and upload the actual video interview at a later date - but nobody is waiting on me to do so! WIN WIN! Sorry experts, but this just makes sense AND, it works! Check out more and leave us a voice message on our site! ___ http://howtopodcast.ca/ Have a podcast and need a great website? Try Podpage!

E19 - Snake Oil, Vacuum Sales, Out Sourcing, and Doing it Yourself
EPISODE 19 - Snake Oil, Vacuum Sales, Out Sourcing, and Doing it Yourself The one person that feels that everyone needs a vacuum is... a vacuum salesperson! There are so many podcasters out there that use their podcast to sell their wares - it is effective - you have a community, why not?! I listen to a lot of podcasts - like, a lot. In this episode I share my distain for podcast hosts that seem to have one gear - they want you to buy their program, plan or service - to be your $1000 a month coach, to help them reach $100,000 each month - look, good on you if that is attainable for you - but I am still podcasting for fun, working a full-time night job, running a small business during the day and podcasting every day. Your desire to hit $100k per month is admirable but not my thing. Apps are created daily to help independent podcasters produce their own episodes, hosting sites take care of sending out your podcast, free platforms get your podcast out there - you do not need to buy anything these other podcasts are selling. What is making me wonder lately is how a podcaster that has a "team" that does all their podcast production and promotion for them can allow mistakes from their "team" to go out as content into the world - poor spelling, bad edits in the podcast, obvious mistakes that should have been caught - yes we are human and mistakes happen - but when an expert with a "team" continues to not improve or fix mistakes it makes me question why I would ever pay for their services. So yep, a bit of a rant for you - I anticipate that you might not agree with everything said here, but I just feel that 1000 downloads per episode is not necessary, you making $100k per month is not my concern, sending work to a "team" and paying them a tiny amount of money with exchange rates seems off when there are people in your community looking for work! A podcast is about the listener, not inflated egos, vanity numbers and being beat down if you don't measure up. If you have 1 listener and your content helps them is that not enough? Food for thought. Do your best, forget the rest! ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

E18 - Updating an Old Episode if the Content is No Longer Relevant
EPISODE 18 - Updating an Old Episode if the Content is No Longer Relevant So what do you do if an older episode of your podcast is no longer relevant, you don't support the program, website or topic that you talked about way back in the day - something has changed - maybe it is you - you've changed. Maybe the service is no longer available or you no longer suggest that people do the thing you spoke about back in the day. Well that happened recently for me right here in episode 18 - this episode was all about my new found fascination with Clubhouse - it was a big deal, but now it is a big time suck filled with nothing burger conversations with salespeople trying to sell to salespeople. So what do you do when your content is no longer relevant? I went in an updated my content and simply replaced the audio, changed the title of this episode and the episode description for one very important reason - I have had countless listeners that have found my show and have gone back to the begining and started listening to the show from episode 1 - and then they find an episode with out of date content that is no longer relevant - so without uploading a new episode 18 and confusing everyone with two versions of this episode I just use the "Replace Audio" option overwriting the old with the new - this keeps my total listens for this episode and leaves episode 18 where it was in my feed with updated content. If you need help doing this with your podcast, reach out to me today - we can jump on zoom, do a screen share and fix this for your show! ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

EPISODE 15 - Introverts Unite! How to Podcast - A Guide for Introverts Like Me Are you an introvert? I am! Woah could we swap stories. Google says... An introvert is a person with qualities of a personality type known as introversion, which means that they feel more comfortable focusing on their inner thoughts and ideas, rather than what's happening externally . They enjoy spending time with just one or two people, rather than large groups or crowds. Do you agree? disagree? As a new introverted podcaster the road ahead can seem daunting, overwhelming and in some cases may even cause you to delay or abandon podcasting altogether! In this episode I share some of my thoughts on podcasting as an introvert. You are not alone in this!

When you are engaged all the gears are connected working together in perfect harmony with great results - disengaged is dangerous! No control! As a podcast host we need to be in the process of working towards less scripted episodes and move to more organic conversations with our guests and our audience - a podcast is not an audible book. Scripted questions in an interview feel forced and fake - again, disengaged. We need to bridge the gap between host and audience with how we show up when we hit record. IT has been said many times - people come to your podcast for the topic but they STAY for the host! Be that kind of host, the kind that connects, is engaged in all facets their podcast and your listeners will come back! You got this! Go be awesome today! ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

Let's create an interview where you can practice with a real person, I can coach you along and give you some great tips to get more comfortable as the host of your interview based podcast! In this episode we also discuss the importance of a pre-interview, what you can learn about your guest by meeting with them separately from the actual interview. Build a bridge with your future guest by pre-interviewing them! I use Calendly to book guests via email, in Facebook #BeAGuest #FindAGuest groups and on my website. Calendly doesn't pay me to endorse them - I just like the ease of use, being able to set up different types and lengths of meetings and then even partner with Zoom to create a zoom meeting within the invite. Be a great host and your guests will direct other potential guests your way. Do your homework, listen to your future guest on other podcasts, get a feel for how they are in an interview, check out their book reviews, watch their movie, listen to their song, check out their YouTube videos - be prepared! A prepared host can drop the scripted questions that bore everyone! You got this! Go create an episode today! ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

E07 - Start with Your Podcast Trailer - What to Include and What to Exclude
EPIOSDE 7 - Start with Your Podcast Trailer - What to Include and What to Exclude Creating a podcast trailer is a great way to introduce your podcast to potential listeners and build anticipation for your upcoming episodes. Here are some steps you can follow to create a compelling podcast trailer: Start with a hook: Your trailer should grab the listener's attention right from the start. Start with a hook that highlights the unique aspect of your podcast and why someone should listen to it. Keep it short: Your trailer should be no longer than 60 seconds. You want to give enough information to entice listeners, but not so much that it becomes overwhelming or boring. Introduce yourself and your podcast: Tell the listener who you are and what your podcast is about. This is your chance to establish your credibility and showcase your personality. Highlight your best content: Use clips or excerpts from your upcoming episodes to showcase your best content. This will give listeners a taste of what they can expect from your podcast. Call to action: End your trailer with a call to action, encouraging listeners to subscribe to your podcast, leave a review, or follow you on social media. Edit and polish: Once you've recorded your trailer, edit it to make it sound professional. Add music, sound effects, or other elements to make it more engaging and appealing to listeners. Remember, your podcast trailer is your first impression with potential listeners, so make sure it accurately represents your podcast and captures their interest. ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/

E06 - Five Tips to avoid Podfade - be clear on your why, plan and execute
EPISODE 6 - Five Tips to avoid Podfade - be clear on your why, plan and execute In this episode we discuss five tips to help you to avoid Podfade - be clear on your why, plan and execute a great podcast! 5 Tips to Avoid Podfade 1. Proper Scheduling - be real with your time Have a clear idea of the time required to create good-quality and engaging podcast episodes continuously. The key is to generate consistent good quality episodes that stick to the schedule. Share your podcast release schedule in your trailer so people can know what to expect from you 2. Do You Have Sufficient Content? Specialize in your selected niche, sorry to our American listeners - it is pronounced "niche" not "nitch" - so that whole, "the riches are in the nitches" thing is not really an accurate saying... Your niche is your superpower - why people return to YOUR podcast - why YOU are different than the rest! Ensure that the the niche that you choose is not too broad - if you try to be everything to everyone, you'll end up being nothing to nobody!
