The Proven Power of the Dramatic Pause: Two Ways Saying Nothing is Better Than Saying Something


In the microwave society that we live in, most of us are not accustomed to slowing down. As a podcaster, we may associate silence with "Dead Air" which is a phrase from the radio. However, today I'm going to show you that the best answers come after the awkward pause.

The Power of the Dramatic Pause

When you put a pause before or after a point it adds emphasis to that point. 

If you put it before the point, the brain perks up waiting for the next words. 

If you put the pause after your point, it gives the brain a chance to process what was just said.

Meet My Friend Evo of Podcast Pontifications - Cross Promotion

Today I'm trying something new and coming to you on a WEDNESDAY to introduce you to my friend Evo Tera

Evo has been podcasting since 2004 (not a typo) and has been involved in many aspects of podcasting ever since. 

Evo was nice enough to let me host an episode of his show a while back, and today I'm repaying the favor.

I interviewed Evo back on episode 122 when he was on a book tour for his book Expert Podcasting Practices.

50 Shades of Podcasting: Be Proud Embracing Your Unique Style of Podcasting


As the first episode of 2022, I often do an episode for beginners, such as episode 756 14 Steps to Start a Successful Podcast in 2021

One of the most dangerous things you can do in podcasting is comparing your show to others. When I was in my 20s I would play golf once a year with my brother. My golf scores look like someone who golfed once a year. I would use my Dad's old clubs and would go to one of the cheapest clubs and just a fun day of hanging out. How would I feel if I compared myself to Tiger Woods? That would be insane unless I compared myself to a four-year-old Tiger. When you have your attitude in check, it can change the way you perform moving forward.

From the "hobbyist" to the "semi pro" you will see that if the hobbyist attempts to do everything the "semi pro" does they will burn out. Also, anyone who starts a podcast will attract people they didn't expect to attract.

QUESTION OF THE MONTH

I need your answer before 1/28/22

Picture yourself in a podcast app in front of a podcast you might actually enjoy. Think of this experience and comment on it.
What caught your eye?
Is the description important?
Do you subscribe? or "Cherry Pick" episodes.
Do you ever subscribe/Follow?

As we all want more followers/subscribers (and yes we know most of us find our podcasts via word of mouth), BUT when you're in an app, (I realize this is kind of vague), but what goes through your mind before you press either play or subscribe/follow?

Don't forget to tell us a little bit about your show, and your website address.

Being Yourself Can Be Hard - But Worth It


Dave and Jim are back after a week off!.

We tweaked some things with the show. We've done away with the "shout out" section as it was getting a bit long. The definition of a Patron is "a person who gives financial or other support to a person, organization, cause, or activity" and the result of that patronage is you allow the artist (podcaster) to continue to do their art. 

SPONSOR: Podcast Branding.co

If you need artwork, a logo, a custom podcast website, or a full-on branding audit, let the award-winning graphic artist (and fellow podcaster Mark Des Cotes make that great, professional first impression. see www.podcastbranding.co

TEACHER'S PET:

Dog Podcast Network

If you have a dog and want something to listen to while you take your four-legged friend for a walk check of Dog Edition. They have multiple shows all about our favorite furry friends at dogpodcastnetwork.com

So if you were an awesome supporter for the shout out, then really you were just enjoy very, VERY, cheap advertising and we've done away with that.
