Lana was an up and coming radio star at Nova Sydney then her Mum passed away she became a full time carer for her grandparents and her child and things changed for her. She decided she needed to get creative. She came up with a brand called MILF Life, it took off and got posted by Kelly Rowland. When Lana went to deliver her a 'freebie' of some merch she had $1 to her name. Kelly then posted her, find out what happens next.

Podcasting is so much effort, you have to be on and you have to be feeling it!

You're going to have days when you're not in flow. When you'd rather hide in the kitchen cupboard rather than show up to a microphone and a guest with a smile. 

Here's my advice on what to do when you just don't feel like it.

I know one of the things holding you back may be that you don't want to look and sound bad as a podcaster. I get it! No one wants that, that's mainly why they come to Newcastle Podcast Station or create a brand with PodcaSTAR but here in this episode I'm going to give you a tonne of advice on sounding great. I hope you enjoy it along the way, I tried to make it fun.

I remember once having the most extraordinarily fun Christmas with Dave McClung, we worked together at Nova and week after week he won the 'Super Nova' award which was a bottle of Moet. One Christmas he cracked them out in my lounge room and we drank them with some fresh prawns, what an extraordinarily good time. 

David is a wonderful on air talent but he's versed in all aspects of programming and he's now a big boss over at Nova 937 in WA. Dave will entertain you and also teach you a lot. You're welcome.

I think this pod might not be necessary but time after time clients are still coming to me and they record in an adhoc fashion or they record weekly to release the next week. Let me ask you this, if you had a tree, would it make sense for you to get your gardener to prune it one leaf at a time every day of the year? It doesn't make sense for you or the gardener. It's the same with podcasting, get all the insights in batching and why it's necessary in this day and age.

Do you say HEY GUYS at the start of a pod? Don't. It's really important these days to get your audience to love and trust you. Trust is hard to come by these days so stuffing that up from the outset isn't a great idea.  

Lots of people make basic mistakes that create a divide between them and the beautiful souls listening.

Find out how to respect people and make them love you more.

Last time I saw Andy he was on stage doing back up for Cher! This guy is an absolute legend and an uncompromising artist. He's done stacks of TV and Radio but his heart lies in stand up, he's done acclaimed stand up shows worldwide and his heart lies in live performance. 

Honestly it's a little bit of shits and giggles we didn't get too serious but there is some useful chat in here about what resonates with people and the art of holding onto who you really are.
