Podcast Solutions Made Simple – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Ever wonder what it's like to hop from the dynamic airwaves of radio into the calculative world of financial services and back again? Tune in to our latest episode where Dave Cunningham, a man of many talents, sits with me, Carl Richards, to recount his enchanting journey. He opens up about his love for radio discovered at university, leading to a hearty twenty-year career before seeking family stability in finance. But as the allure of broadcasting never waned, Dave's retirement became the birthplace of "The Kingstonian," his podcast that unwraps the stories of individuals fueled by passion. His venture is a testament to the power of genuine conversations and a yearning to craft content on his own terms, far from the rigid timings of traditional radio.

This episode isn't just a walk down memory lane; it's a masterclass in the art of the interview, something I’m passionate about. Dave and I exchange battle stories and tactics for drawing out the most compelling narratives from our guests, shaping conversations that spark and flow. We tackle the hurdles of engaging reticent interviewees and share the joy in connecting with a global audience, thanks to the wonders of modern analytics. From a local radio host's unexpected playwright success to the global reach of a retirement hobby podcast, this episode is a treasure trove for anyone curious about the enchanting world of podcasting or simply looking for inspiration to follow their own rekindled passions. So, press play and let us whisk you away into a world where conversation is king and every voice has the potential to echo across continents.

Navigating the twists and turns of a broadcasting and speaking career has never been a straightforward path, but it's one I've walked with passion and dedication. As I've transitioned from the airwaves to the podcasting agency helm, I've garnered a treasure trove of insights that have shaped not just my career, but also the direction of this very podcast. In today's episode, I open up about this personal and professional evolution, revealing how the worlds of podcasting and speaking blend harmoniously, and what this means for our community of listeners.

If you're a savvy coach, consultant or subject matter expert who speaks to get the word out about what it is you do, you know the value of stage time. A podcast is essentially stage time. There are some things though you need to be aware of before just jumping on a podcast. 

No doubt it's your dream to be on the podcast of someone famous. Maybe it's your favourite thought leader, or YOUR coach (who's further along on their journey and has a huge community you can leverage). Being a guest though is a huge responsibility...and today's guest as learned, not just how to get booked on any podcast, but how to get booked on the shows that have skyrocketed his brand, his business and his credibility.  

From his punk days squatting in London and barefoot backpacking years on the Indian sub-continent, right through to senior leadership within a multi-national company, Jem Fuller has lived the extremes.

His stories and life lessons draw from experiences as an actor and singer-songwriter, global tattooist, fire dancer, kindergarten teacher and volunteer in Asia, motorcycle courier and travel consultant, Reflexologist and Chinese Masseuse, and in the last decade, leader of retreats in the Himalaya and advisor to executive leaders.

When it comes to marketing your podcast, it's an ongoing thing. The idea of 'if you build it they will come' may have worked for some (back in the day), but for most podcasters it's something that requires regular attention. And here's the thing: you DON'T need to spend a fortune on paid ads to get the word out.  There are also some simple strategies you can implement to organically grow your show..and Carl and his guest have a conversation about that today.

'I just don't have the time!'
How often have we said that, not really meaning it?  Have you ever noticed if you need or want something bad enough you find the time? Not only that, but our concept of time as it refers to podcasting is often misguided.  The Time Myth, as we explored in the last episode is as made up as time itself.   Today Carl and his guest take the time to bust the Time Myth, revealing how time was a hold out. Not anymore! Time is on his side!

Connecting to Spirit and the energies that surround others are just two of Tony Gyenis’s many abilities. He understands how to move energy like a stream moves water, and works with his clients to give them the energetic assistance they need. Never doubting Spirit and the instructions given to him, Tony is a true messenger of divine energy.

Tony pursued a formal education in Feng Shui, with the intention to share what he learned with others, spreading prosperity. This pursuit then led him to learn other crafts, such as Vibrational Healing Sound Therapy, Angel Therapy, and Mediumship with Doreen Virtue. Today he is the only Tuning Fork Master Teacher in Canada that we know of to teach under SomaEnergetics and believes that self-empowerment is our natural state.

In the last episode Carl Richards and Diana Lidstone talked tech. Not really Diana's favourite subject...and she admitted TECH was holding her back from launching a podcast. Not now! She doesn't need to worry about it...she has a team that supports her and the show!  One Podcast Myth remains, and we're about to  eradicate it, for good!  Here's a quick look at the list of what those myths are:

• Money myth (debunked by Cindy Little)
• Competition myth (kicked to the curb by Bernie Franzgrote)
• Content myth (exposed for what it is and eliminated by Katherine Burrows)
• Tech myth (all systems a go, tech myth shut down by Diana Lidstone)
• Time myth 

In this episode Carl unpacks the fifth myth, the Time Myth.

Question: which myth is holding you back from launching a show? Is there more than one? Let us know about it!

As we discovered in the previous episode, the Tech Myth isn't just about technology. It's about how confusing and difficult something can seem, especially when it's not in your wheelhouse. In part two of the Tech Myth, Carl's guest reveals on top of everything about podcasting seeming super confusing and 'too techy,' she admits she was asking the WRONG question!

In the last episode Carl Richards and Katherine Burrows talked about Katherine's love for words and stories. She revealed the difference between spoken word and written word and how she tackled being 'raw and real' with the spoken word and eliminated the Content Myth!  There are still two podcast myths we need to 86 or put in the cylindrical file beside your desk!  Here's a quick look at the list of what those myths are:

• Money myth (debunked by Cindy Little)
• Competition myth (kicked to the curb by Bernie Franzgrote)
• Content myth (exposed for what it is and eliminated by Katherine Burrows)
• Tech myth 
• Time myth

In this episode Carl unpacks the fourth myth, the Tech Myth.

In the previous episode Carl Richards unpacked the Content Myth. There's no shortage of content...you have boat loads of it already, you just need to know how to package it...and that's what todays' guest discovered.  She realized she was curating it for the written word. Once she explored ways to speak about her content more freely, it was like magic! And magical moments started to appear more and more in her show!
