Ask the Podcast Coach – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Send us feedback/questions via Text

In this episode, we talk about the unpredictability of podcasting when things like power outages shut things down, strategies for running better interviews, and the importance of prepping your guests and your own questions. We dig into what actually makes a podcast “advanced,” swapping thoughts on whether it’s about the gear, the content, skill, style, or just deeper expertise, and debate the value and pitfalls of reading guest bios and how to make your intros less boring. 

We explore why podcasting should stay fun (using Kevin Chemidlin’s rebranding example), how to analyze whether your episodes are resonating through completion stats, and why being flexible and responsive to your audience is key. We also field questions about buying email lists for podcast marketing, talk about using AI for scripting and idea generation, and share advice for podcasters who want to stand out and grow their shows, emphasizing relationships and community over shortcuts. As always, we have a ton of laughs, plenty of audience participation, and the kind of practical tips and real talk every podcaster craves.

Today, we noticed it's March, and that means taxes are right around the corner. Always, we have tons of topics from making good first impressions, how many UMS are too many, starting another podcast, and more (see chapters).

Google announced, according to Podnews, "We will soon start to bring both audio and video-first podcasts to YouTube Music for users in the US.." Today we acknowledge that this could be huge if Google sticks with it (after all didn't they do this back in 2016). We also discuss the fact that you don't have to do a video version if you want to start a podcast, the joys of updating drivers, and a loving tangent on cereal bags.
