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.

Change of Plans: No Show 12/23/23

SMS and Podcasting: A Match for Audience Engagement?

In this episode of "Ask the Podcast Coach," we dive into the nuances of adding enhanced content like slides to your YouTube videos. I discuss with Jim the evolving landscape of podcasting, the tricky transition from hobby to business, and the balance needed when offering personalized coaching. We also touch on the significance of community-driven podcasting and the essence of constructive feedback. Additionally, we share our personal experiences with website migration and the tribulations of various hosting platforms. As always, we celebrate our supporters in our "wheel o' names" segment, encourage listener engagement, and humorously banter about everything from pizza pilgrimages to tight jeans, all while anticipating next week's exciting insights.
