Adventures in Podcasting

Today's show is all about, yes, whether you can make money through podcasting.
Pilar has made a bit, but not proper money.
She mentions Entrepreneurs on Fire, as the first show she heard was turned into a business. Do you remember that?

Sponsorship is also a common way for shows to bring in some cash, as well as through membership sites like Patreon. You can hear past guest Matt Gilhooly talk about how he uses Patreon in episode 35.

Recommended podcasts for today:
The Creative Penn with Joanna Penn. It's a must listen for indie authors, but also interesting for any podcaster to hear the rapport that Joanna has with her audience during her solo sections.
The Tim Ferriss Show, in particular this episode: https://tim.blog/2023/10/19/apollo-robbins/

Pilar talks about how she uses AI in her shows, including Assembly.AI, and GPT-4, for example check out these show notes for Management Café. https://managementcafepodcast.com/2023/05/15/54-why-we-love-radical-candor-by-kim-scott-and-why-implementing-it-is-so-hard/

Here's the video where Mike Russell explains how he uses AI to create a workflow for his daily podcast AI News Today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeOi-91DaR

At some point Pilar also mentions episode 35 of this podcast, with guest Stephanie Fuccio, where they talk about editing.

Pilar talks about why she's batch recording for this challenge, asking for things from the audience and what happened when she "put out there" that she wanted to podcast more - and the long-term result of that, which was the re-launch of Management Café.

And talking of calls to action:

Referring mainly to co-hosted shows, Pilar talks about planning in advance when you might stop your show. She talks about this episode of The Writer's Well, co-hosted by previous host of this podcast, who appeared here: https://www.adventuresinpodcasting.com/ep-27-with-jthorn/

She also talks about the commitment she and her co-host made to En clave de podcast, and her last episode with Facilitation Stories, which was episode 59.

In this episode, Pilar talks about those interviews she never published, and why.

Three good reasons for not publishing an interview:

- The guest has nothing interesting to say (usually happens when they're not really up for sharing)

- The guest doesn't come across as credible

-  They're the wrong guest for the show (but their PR representative misled you...)

Pilar mentions episode 21 from Adventures in Podcasting, with Myriam Hadnes: https://www.adventuresinpodcasting.com/ep-21-adventures-with-myriam-hadnes/

Recommended podcast: Death of 1000 cuts with Tim Claire

In the third day of NaPodPoMo, I talk about why I started 21st Century Work Life and how it has evolved in format and content. 

In this second episode of the NaPodPoMo challenge, I talk about starting "Spain Uncovered," my first serious podcasting project. I began it while shifting towards leadership and management training, using my experience as a voiceover artist. The podcast, linked to my book "The A to Z of Spanish Culture," was a way to reach an audience interested in Spanish culture. With a simple Blue Nessie microphone, I interviewed diverse expats and experimented with bilingual content. This venture was a step away from my main business, but it played a crucial role in my podcasting journey and kept my book in the spotlight, including in academic settings. Join me as I look back on these experiences in my daily podcasting challenge.

After taking part in NaNoWriMo quite a few times, this time I'm taking on the challenge of National Podcast Post Month by publishing an episode every day.

I'll be talking about my experiences in podcasting, from my longest-running show, 21st Century Work Life, to my first, Spain Uncovered. I'll also share stories and insights from my journey, discuss the changing definition of podcasts, and explore ideas from my Trello board.

Join me as I navigate this Adventure, sharing lessons from over a decade of podcasting experience.

I'm back, podcasters!
Delighted to kick off the show again, with guest Daniel Goodson, host of My Fluent Podcast, a show he set up because he wanted to take his English to the next level.

This is such an inspiring story - and Daniel was so much fun to talk to, that I hope you enjoy his adventures as much as I did!

You can get in touch with Daniel through myfluentpodcast.com and you can also listen to his other show: The Vocab Man.

In this episode, Daniel mentions:

Daniel mentions Descript and Snipd. Here's a snippet from a previous episode of this show that Daniel "snipd" and shared: https://share.snipd.com/snip/0240320a-dad5-40aa-9cc5-b8c40f391a8c

Daniel mentions two of the podcasts from which he learned podcasting: The Podcast Answer Man and The Audacity to Podcast.
