From Podcast Launch to Delivery: Unveiling Realistic Expectations for Aspiring Podcasters in 2024


The goal of this episode is to help you understand what makes a GOOD podcast, and help you decide if you should also be a video podcast. 

As it's the beginning of the year, MANY people will be selling you on how you can quit your job with no effort, no work, and how easy it is to leave the 9 to 5. They rave at how much money you will make, after all, they are on a boat! And you will do it quickly.

I just can't do that. I want people who are fueled by passion, and understand there is a process of 

  • Plan
  • Launch
  • Grow
  • Monetize

So today we are going to first look at what makes a GOOD podcast, and then what is going on with the Podcasting space with places like YouTube and Spotify.

Making a Good Podcast

Make sure you are doing two or more of the following:

  • Laugh
  • Cry
  • Think
  • Groan
  • Educate
  • Entertain

If you do NONE of these you are boring your audience. Some other items I mentioned today:

Relevence - When it comes to good content another key ingredient is relevance. When I heard the phrase ‘overwhelm” at a podcast conference FOUR TIMES I created episode 871 Overcoming Podcast Overwhelm: Three Free Tools and a Strategy.

Authenticity - Be yourself. Authenticity builds a connection with your audience. Don't be afraid to show personality and vulnerability. Don’t let Chat GPT wash your personality out of your show.

Storytelling - We love a good story. How can you make your show more entertaining? Tell a good story.

Research - State your sources when available. We want people to trust us, and when we show the work we put into the show, it can help the listener trust what they are hearing.

Rehearsal: Practice makes perfect. Rehearse your content to iron out any kinks and ensure smooth delivery.

Timeliness: Stay current. If your podcast covers time-sensitive topics, make sure to provide up-to-date information. This is one of those, "it depends" topics.

Bert Weiss Boils Podcasting Down to Two Items

In the Book Listenable: The Content and Delivery System to Set Your Podcast Apart

Bert Wiess (Hey Bert! Call me. I want to interview you) boils it down to this: A podcast is made up of two things:

  1. Content
  2. Delivery

One without the other will not work.

My Favorite Podcast Is.... (and WHY) 2023


I have a tradition that the last episode of the year is you answering WHY your favorite show is your FAVORITE. You know the show, you get notified in your app, and you immediately stop listening to whatever show and IMMEDIATELY go to theirs. Thanks to all who participated. I did something different and had AI summarize all the "WHYs" together.

A special shout-out to Matt Rafferty from The Author Inside You. I assembled this at the last minute, and unfortunately Podinbox ate your reply.

One Thing About Ratings and Reviews In Apple Podcasts

(they don't help you in the algorithm). Per Apple:

What the Apple charts measure:
Apple Podcasts Charts reflect the most popular shows and episodes available in a given market and are designed to help people discover what to listen to next. They do not reflect all-time listening records and are not a measure of the largest podcasts by listenership.
While the exact algorithm cannot be shared to protect their integrity, the charts measure a mix of the following:

  • Listening: When listeners are engaging with episodes, it’s an indicator of content popularity.
  • Follows: When listeners follow a show to receive new episodes, it’s an indicator of their intent to listen.
  • Completion Rate: When listeners complete episodes, it’s an indicator of content quality.

Ratings, reviews, and shares
Although ratings, reviews, and shares also help indicate a podcast’s newness, popularity, and quality, they are not factored into the algorithm that determines the rankings for Top Shows and Top Episodes. In other words, they may not help people find a podcast on their own, but they influence whether people will listen or follow, and those factors influence the charts.

Change of Plans: No Show 12/23/23


I wanted to alert everyone that you can sleep in on Saturday. I have to attend a funeral for a friend (who lost her Mom) and cant do the show. 

Enjoy your holiday, and be sure to hug all your friends, family, or anyone who has meaning in your life. You just never know when someone you love will have their number called. In this case, it wasn't a surpise, but that the pain is still there.
