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!

If you need help please reach out - sometimes it is just the act of connecting with someone else that you feel a common bond with - I would love to help you on your podcasting journey!

E14 - Stop Reading To Me - Speak to Me - How to Drop the Script and Connect Jun 14, 2022

EPISODE 14 - Stop Reading To Me - Speak to Me - How to Drop the Script and Connect

What is the difference between an "engaged" and a "disengaged" host - If you have ever driven a manual transmission car you know first hand the difference between engaged and disengaged when driving with a clutch! 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!

E13 - Tips for starting an interview based podcast Jun 14, 2022

EPISODE 13 - Tips for starting an interview based podcast

Starting a brand new interview style podcast with no guests can seem daunting! How do I get a guest when I don't have any episodes? I am willing to help you by being your Podcast Interview Test Dummy! Even if you do not use the interview as a podcast release! 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!

E09 - How to Grow a New Podcast - is social media the answer? Apr 30, 2022

Show notes

EPISODE 9 - How to Grow a New Podcast - is social media the answer?

Many new podcasters are asking how they can promote their podcast and build a audience of listeners from scratch.

Social Media is a visual arena, the stands are packed with an audience that have limited attention span and are easily distracted. A podcast listener is actively engaged, committed, habitual, and they have more time to commit to longer format content.

If you spend all of your time trying to build a social media community outside of a podcast player app you might be missing the boat!

Check out how you can gain listeners, build community and grow while helping your fellow podcasters at the same time!

EPIOSDE 8 - A Question from a listener - How to recover a bad interview - when things go bad how you can get back on course

Victoria (from A Contagious Smile) asked this question

"How do you keep the interview going when you are having a challenging time with the person you are speaking with?"

In this episode we answer Victoria's question and offer some tips to refloat your podcast if it is taking on water - your guest has given of their time, you have invested time and you want to salvage your recording and maintain this relationship that you have built with your guest - we offer some tips here for you!

One of the best ways to avoid potential issues with your recording/interview is to do a pre-interview with your guest - in doing so, you will get an idea of how your guest interacts with you, their audio and video set up, and your chemistry as an early indication of how the interview will unfold!
