Your audience comes for your content but they stay if you’re a great host! In this episode Ash and Kane talk about how to make yourself likeable as a host and the many benefits that come along with it. They also reveal what not to do if you want your audience to keep coming back for more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you want to be truly likeable then you can’t be a perfectionist. Be authentic and down to earth.
• You just being you is what makes an audience like you. It makes you and your show memorable.
• There’s all the time in the world to get your content across but if your audience is bored they won’t keep listening.
• Make your audience feel something.
• The feedback loop on podcasting is slow and not very visible. If you can create a community off-platform this can help you build a loyal following.
• If you are doing interviews, you need to make sure you don’t talk too much and let the guest speak.
• Tell personal stories, let people learn about you so they can relate to you.
