Opinion

You started off with some information on how the story came about and the history of the story. I don't really care about the story's history - just get to the story. I would get to the story and after I hear it I would be more interested in where it came from. I enjoyed the first story with the comet. The Joe Frasier story was a bit slow for me. I was somewhat confused as to why I was listening to multiple stories. You might put that at the beginning of the show, "We have three stories today with the theme second chances." While this story had me wondering if Joe was going to pass his test, I wasn't willing to sit through all of Joe's classes to see if he makes it or not.

My thoughts behind a "short story" is I expected the podcast to be about 10 minutes in total, so when I looked up and saw the file was 20, I didn't want to sit in every one of Joe's class with him. Keep in mind, I'm not a huge fan of fiction unless it really comes and grabs me and gives me some stakes, or reasons to love the character. For me, it just didn't hold my attention. If I was a smaller child (say age 10) I might have lasted longer.

One of my favorite books on writing/storytelling is www.schoolofpodcasting.com/storyworthy Matthew Dicks (the author) is a master storyteller.

I would visit coolerwebsites.com and buy a domain, web hosting, or use something like Podpage to have a great looking site.

Comments on Black Girls Talk Sports?

888-563-3228

Description

Black Girls Talk Sports, hosted by Rekaya Gibson, is a podcast where women of color discuss all things sports, including but not limited to amateur and professional football, basketball and baseball.

Website

https://blackgirlstalksports.com/

Opinion

The intro went a little long. Congrats on show 199. When mentioning your sponsor, don't forget to mention their website. You could move the "we've been off for a few weeks" toward the end of the show (as it makes no sense to any new listeners). At first, I didn't get how "Black Girls" would be different than anyone else talking sports. I can see connecting with other black women. Why? When I listen to someone from Scotland, I have to focus on their words due to the accent. However, if I was Scottish I might hear a Scottish accent and be relaxed and think, "The host sounds just like me" and feel relaxed. We all have accents, the southern part of the US, or the Boston accent, etc. With this in mind, I get how this show will connect with people on a deeper level as you are giving people who sound like you the ability to talk sports. If I was talking countries, this comment would seem fine. As this is based on race, I pray I don't sound like a racist pig.

Keep doing what you're doing. You might add a Patreon button on your sidebar to make it easier to find.

A show about my experiences of living abroad in Japan. I have been living in Japan since 2016. Listen in on my adventures, family life and things going on in Japan.

Website

Opinion

This show has potential as you have information I can't get. You keep mentioning that I can voicemail you back, that is only if I'm using the Anchor app (and most people don't use the Anchor app, and by that I mean nobody uses the Anchor app). I didn't realize there were whacky flavors of pepsi in Japan. The Advice of "learn Japanse" was a bit lame as a tip, but I REALLY liked the insight into getting housing. The music was a bit loud, and music for the sake of nothing at the end was a waste of my time. Fade it in if you want at the end and have voice over top of it. I liked your energy but your microphone seemed muted. If you're recording this with your phone, have the phone right next to your mouth. So this show has potential but right now it needs a little cleanup. Please note that if you let Anchor submit your show to the directories "For you" they control your show in those directories and you are missing the ability to see additional stats.

Noisy Business Oct 20, 2020

Comments on Noisy Business ?

888-563-3228

Description

Noisy Business is a Weekly comedy podcast. Where the topics are broad and the points don't matter. We breakdown the latest topics in business in the noisiest way possible. From helping with marketing to the dirty behind the mask theories of the deep corporate state. But really we just want to have fun.

Website

https://noisybusinesspod.podomatic.com

Opinion

The audio is good, but your first two minutes is inside jokes about what episode it is (who cares?) You finally announce what you're going to talk about but can't stop interrupting each other so the pace of the show is painfully slow. Let people know where they are going, and get to the point. Then you can yuck it up. This episode was supposed to be about people being naked in a library and you're talking about Latina Aids awareness. You also have the "curse of knowledge" which means you know each other and have inside jokes that nobody else is going to get. You seemed to be laughing at things that just didn't seem funny. Keep in mind your audience wasn't with you all these years of being friends and won't get those references. Also, when someone meets you in person are you going to talk like this? With words like DEE - LAY... be yourself, have energy, but if you get too close to what radio people call "Puke Voice" it turns people off.

I would go to http://www.coolerwebsites.com and get a domain and point it toward your podomatic site (podomatic is a horrible media host, see libsyn.com and use the coupon code sopfree and we can import your show for free). If you need a quick easy website see http://www.schoolofpodcasting.com/podpage for a great tool to make a website for podcasters. Also, you need to be able to subscribe to your show in Apple, Google, Spotify at a minimum (I would add Amazon and more).

I liked the audio, and the energy. Get a little focused, and make it easy to subscribe to your show to grow your audience.

Comments on Quit Quitting and Grow?

Description

Where personal development and meets reality.

Website

Opinion

The introduction is strong, full sounding, and professional. Then when you come in, your sound is bad. It's a shock after that introduction. It sounds like you put your phone on a table and press record. You can't succeed in podcasting with this type of audio. You can check out our gear guide and get something like the Samson Q2U and improve your sound for less than $100.

I liked your delivery (it sounded like you were talking) but you did somewhat learn me. Every point should be explaining how having a mentor is beneficial. I appreciated the transparency of your previous mentors and was looking for your own personal stories on how you had grown using a mentor.

I would update your sound quality and tighten up your content a little and you'll be right on track.

Deceived: The Moo Years Oct 13, 2020

Show notes

Comments on Deceived: The Moo Years ?

888-563-3228

Description

Deceived: The Moo Years is the true story of one young man's compelling, at times terrifying, former involvement with the martial arts cult Chung Moo Quan. Based on his soon to be published memoir, "Deceived: a Journey into Darkness" author and producer Russell Johnson's 12-week podcast combines a powerful narrative and witness interviews with martial artists, mind control experts, and former victims of the Chung Moo Quan.

Website

https://www.deceivedpodcast.com/

Opinion

I liked the introduction and explanation. There does come a time when you are still trying to hook me, and I'm like, "Hey I'm here - get to the story." The production sounds good. I like that this is a true story and that you get credibility by playing clips from NBC. You explain how this guy had really mesmerized people, and I want to hear more of this story.

I would love to know the "WHY" behind this podcast as you are using Soundcloud. Soundcloud is a music service that attempts to do podcasting (poorly) and have not implemented additional tags put in place by Apple in 2017. (Let that sink in). I would recommend moving the podcast to Libsyn.com and use the coupon code sopfree to get a free month. They are an IAB certified media host, and one of the oldest and largest media hosts (if you want to take this seriously). No sponsor will touch this podcast while it's hosted on Soundcloud.

One last thing, your artwork does not meet Apple specs (normally I don't check things like this. Those are items we check on the podcast review show).

Opinion

The intro is a bit start and stopish. For me I'm looking for an introduction of the episode as well as what the whole show is about. The obvious reading of the intro for me is a turn-off. If you're excited about someone just tell me why. The guest isn't bad, but listen to what you ask, "what were your symptoms" and then start their answer where they actually answer the question. Your audio is right on the edge of being too boomy. That could be me listening through the ears of a podcaster. I wanted to hear how he reversed type 2 diabetes and was glad to hear you jump to that question. I do wonder if your audience is going to know that mindbodygreen is all one word...

Description

unexpected, and funny life stories.

Website

https://www.storiesyourgrannynevertold.com/

Opinion

I love, love, love the ides of this show. The audio was "OK" but you could try a little noise reduction and bass reduction to get rid of some of the rumbles. You have an issue and that is you are mining for gold. You know its there, but not sure where. What I heard was you mining for gold. Instead of "do you have any stories?" you should have already found them, and editing out all the boring stuff. You may also have great stories trapped in people who are awful storytellers. This is where editing is your friend. This might be a great candidate for using a narrative (sometimes called, "NPR" style). This topic has huge potential, and you're fairly new so you on your way.

Opinion

I like that there is a disclaimer at the start of the show. You start off explaining the church shooting. There is a lot of what I call "icing." This is mood music, sound effects, etc. I started to get bored when you went deep into the different people of the church, and mentioned the church shooting three or four times. I was waiting for the shooting. I don't believe we need the backstory. It seemed to drag the story on a bit. Eight minutes in you mention that one of the attendees has a gun. I would start the story there. We understand that people that die in shootings are brothers ,sisters, aunts, uncles, mothers and fathers, etc.

I would turn off the music and sound effects and just listen to the story raw and ask, "does this hold my attention." Often with heavily produced content we get too wrapped up in the production and not in the content. If you need the production to make the content interesting, then the content is boring.

Also, you only have Apple Podcasts listed on your website. 70% of europe uses Android, and a fair amount of people in the US. You're missing out on that audience.

Website

Opinion

I thought the show's introduction was good and explained who the show was for, and what to expect. I thought the "teaser" clip was a little long (you only need enough to have your audience think, "I want more.." Your audio was OK. You might look into using a noise gate, but overall the audio was listenable. My biggest issue was when you had some almost bad grammar, and then you mispronounced Warren Buffet's name (who is a pretty famous guy) and that took away a bit of your credibility.

Your presentation style is you are CLEARLY reading. When I hear someone who is reading (and it's not a news show) I want to ask them to give me the paper as I can read faster than they talk. If this is what you need to do to get the words out of your mouth, I get that, but practice so it doesn't sound like you're reading.

When you write your script, write it like you would say it (forget grammar) and just talk like you're telling someone sitting across the table from you some great content.

For just having 10 episodes, you're not bad, but for me, I can't stand to hear someone read to me.
