Learn How to Podcast: February 2023

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.

Make it Easy to Say Yes: How Mark Herschberg Was Interviewed on Over 300 Podcasts

Mark Herschberg, a tech startup veteran, author of the book The Career Toolkit: Essential Skils for Success That No One Taught You, and MIT professor, set a goal of appearing on 150 podcasts. He pitched over 2000 shows and ended up on close to 350 shows. Mark did it through volume, which is a different strategy than Dave typically preaches. Dave and Mark get together to share their insights to discuss the pet peeves of guests and hosts to uncover the most efficient way to pitch yourself to shows.

"Focus on how you're delivering value to the audience. If your pitch starts out with the word 'I' too many times in the first paragraph, know what you offer and get to the point - delivering value to the audience is key!"

The Top 8 Podcasting Pet Peeves (2023) That Make People Leave Your Show

In December, we looked at why some podcasts become part of the listener's routine (and their favorite podcast) today; we are looking at the other end.

When it comes to podcasts, the goal of any podcast creator is to captivate their audience and keep them engaged. However, there are many reasons why listeners may choose to unfollow or unsubscribe from a podcast. In this episode, we will explore what makes listeners tune out of a podcast and how podcast creators can avoid these pitfalls. We will look at common issues such as poor audio quality and how extended chit-chat at the beginning may be causing people to tune out.
