Then what? That's what I talk about on this episode...

There a viral video going around where a woman walks into a book store and completely flips out when the book she wants isn't in stock.

Is it real? I don't think so. But I do think it has a valuable lesson about how you can promote your podcast and attract new listeners to it.

There are over 250,000 podcasts listed on Apple Podcasts. The good news is that most aren't any competition for you because most podcasters skimp on hosting, ramble, and don't edit.

I'm a competent radio and podcast host -- not great, but better than a lot of people. My real strength when it comes to podcasting is marketing.

Still, the podcasting question I get asked most frequently is, "How do I become a better podcast host?"

In this episode, I talk about a simple process for making that happen. Even if you're just thinking about doing a podcast and don't yet have any podcasting equipment, you can get started immediately using just your smartphone.

It's a sad (but true) statement that a lot of podcasts get lost and are never heard. And what's the point of publishing a podcast if nobody listens to it?

The good news is that this can be easily fixed. And this episode talks about how to do it...

I started this podcast, Big Podcast Daily, as a fluke. It was part of a "30 episodes in 30 days" challenge.

But I'm still here... 

And even though I have no plans to quit daily podcasts, I'm thinking it might be a good idea to have a podcast name that allows for more flexibility as far as episode frequency goes.

I love it when I find a podcast that does everything right -- the imagery, the host, the marketing, the storytelling, and the music.

Disgraceland is one of those podcasts. And the host, Jake Brennan, is also doing something to get people to share his podcast that might just work for you to get people to share yours.

If you're doing remote interviews or have a co-host that isn't in the same room with you when you record, chances are you're doing it via Skype.

Skype is great. It's what I've used for years. However, SquadCast is a new option that can do the same thing, possibly better. It's definitely easier to use for those who want double-enders.

I talk more about it on this episode.

I just did a three-part series with Jeff Sanders of The 5AM Miracle Podcast about the launch of his new book, The Free-Time Formula.

This series uses a format you might want to swipe for your own podcast. It allows you to extend the story and go deep, spreading thing over multiple episodes. It also lets you capture what's happening in real time, which can help to tell the story more accurately.

You can hear this three-part series on my other podcast, RED Podcast.

Some people get nervous before doing a podcast. And some people drink or do drugs to calm their nerves.

Getting drunk or high in the studio is not a good idea. And doing it during a live broadcast is a very bad idea.

You'd think people would know that.
