The Internet Never Forgets Sep 03, 2021
Show notes

This is an important episode for all podcasters. If you say something on a podcast and that podcast gets released, what you've said it out there forever – it will not go away. It doesn't matter if the podcast has just a few listeners or you're not listed as a contributor. Mike Richards learned the hard way. Just this week, he was fired as the Executive Producer for Jeopardy because of comments he made on a podcast (and probably a few other things). If there is a mic in the room, assume the mic is hot and what you're saying is being recorded for broadcast. Also, whether there's a mic in the room or not, consider the power of your words.

Why Your Podcast Guest Pitch is Being Ignored Aug 13, 2021
Show notes

Has somebody who has done a lot of outreach to podcasters, trying to get myself or others booked as guests on those podcasts, I probably have as much empathy for podcast booking agents and others doing this job as anybody. It is a very tough job. It sucks to be ignored. And it sucks to be rejected, even when somebody does it in a kind way. This is especially true when you're doing your own booking and it's you or your project that is being rejected. But as a podcaster, it also sucks to get form emails from people who see you and your podcast as number. And then get followup emails from these people...again, and again, and again. This is one of the reasons so many podcast guest pitches get ignored. Want more success with your podcast guest booking? Listen up... Links To Things I Talk About:

3 Podcasting Events (in Nashville) Reviewed w/ Dave Jackson Aug 11, 2021
Show notes

Nashville was the place for three podcasting events last week and I sit down with Dave Jackson from School of Podcasting to talk about each of them. When podcasting first started, small events were all we had. Then things started taking off, so podcasting was added to blogging conferences and other "new media" events. Then podcasting got big enough to be worthy of its own larger events. Now things are changing again, with more and more podcasting events focusing on different niches within podcasting. That was the case with two of the three podcasting events that happened in Nashville last week. If you're looking to connect with other podcasters, live events are a great way to do it.

Using Pod Decks for Podcast Segments and Formats Jul 26, 2021
Show notes

Travis from from Pod Decks sent me a package of his five latest decks. Pod Decks are essential flash/playing cards with episode, segment, and question ideas. If you need ideas for your podcast, they can be a great tool. On this episode, I review the Pod Decks package from Travis and talk more about how you can use Pod Decks as a tool to make your podcast better. Want to hear them in use? I use the "interview decks" as a tool for my daily sausage factory podcast. I'm also using the "Episode Ideas" deck for episodes of the sister podcast to this one, RED Podcast and will likely have some behind-the-scenes from these episodes here, so you can see my thought process of outlining and planning podcast episodes using Pod Decks as a tool.

The Dangers of Podcast Hosting Jul 25, 2021
Show notes

Podcasting can a dangeous business and COVID-19 has brought with it some new risks for those of us doing close-contact work. For the last couple of months, I've been working on a project that requires dozens of in-person interviews, so I've had to think a lot about safety and how far I'm willing to go to get a good story on tape. Just last week, a well-known broadcaster and podcaster in Nashville contracted COVID-19 from his co-host. Everything seemed to be going fine, until it wasn't – he's currently in the hospital in the critical care unit. To make things more complicated, this person does a show where he frequently shares anti-vaccine propaganda. And the co-host of his podcast, the guy he contracted COVID-19 from, is his son. It's a bad situation to be in. Which is a good reminder for all of us to be careful and thoughtful about the work we do and what we say while on the mic. More thoughts on this episode...

Same Podcast, More Listeners May 16, 2021
Show notes

I had an interesting experience with a well-known podcaster recently. He was asking about the quality of his podcast and I let him know it wasn't very good. Then I let him know an easy way to improve it. He rejected my idea. I share the story in this episode. And my hope is that you'll make a different (and better) decision when it comes to your podcast. If you do, you'll get more listeners for your podcast and make more money with it. Don't Let Your Podcast Be Ignored - Download my free "Podcast Growth Toolkit" to double your podcast audience.

Hot Mic! Oops! May 04, 2021
Show notes

If you're been around microphones long enough, you've probably experienced a "hot mic" moment. I had one myself on this podcast just a few months ago, when I accidentally released a "rough edit" with some post-episode banter that was never meant to be heard, but hadn't yet been removed. That situation ended up not being a big deal for me. Why? Because who I am on the mic is who I am off the mic – I didn't say anything that was "not me" or left listeners feeling tricked. If you approach your podcast like this, a hot mic moment can actually help you, since people see that you're genuine. It doesn't work that way most of the time though.
