  • The Rogue Ones

    Today we are joined by Leslie Eiler Thompson who is the host of The Rogue Ones podcast.

    Description

    Conversations with extraordinary individuals on their own unique "rogue" journeys. We explore the experiences and opportunities afforded these rogues as they share successes and failures they've encountered along the way. We then, in turn, learn ways to adopt this rogue attitude for ourselves. These are the rogue ones, and these are their stories.

    What Is Working

    One of the best intros ever. Leslie is awesome at talking to one person and sounding sincerely friendly. You can hear your smile

    I love the definition of what makes something rogue, and what the show is about, "We explore extraordinary people doing fascinating things. And we learn from them so we may adopt the same attitudes to develop a rogue lifestyle."

    You did a great job of incorporating the listening into the conversation as if they were sitting at the table with you.

    Great website, great about page, and nice use of the logo/glasses

    Nice tease at the end of the show for future episodes

    What Needs Some Work

    There were sometimes when you had some great opportunities for stories, and you didn't follow up with a question (Billy Joel, "I learned a lot of lessons…"). "I spent a lot of time asking for forgiveness rather than asking for permission." Give me an example. "Tell me about the time you really pushed the limit or broke the rules to get a result."

    With such great content, I would've left off the travel down memory lane about a pseudonym.

  • Route 66 Podcast

    The description of the Route 66 Podcast is "talks with people living and working along the Mother Road." You can find it at http://www.route66podcast.com/

    The episode we reviewed is http://www.route66podcast.com/18-mojave-desert-route-66/

    What We Thought Was Done Well
    • The opening with Dennis' voice was unique. The phone quality added to the nostalgia of the episode.
    • Nice rustic opening music
    • Nice plug of the earlier episode
    • You do a good job of asking the questions and letting the guest talk
    • Nice tease with the trivia answer to keep people listening
    What We Might Tweak
    • Dave thought taking 11 minutes to get to the interview was a bit too long, but Erik thought it was OK but would change the "Now let's start the show" to something different as you had been doing the show for 11 minutes.
    • There are times when you read that you need to add a bit of voice inflection and make some effort (either via pauses, or music) to make smoother transitions.
    • Your website has not title tag which is a vital ingredient to SEO and being found
    • Three calls to action at the end of the show. try to narrow that down to one.
    • The yellow highlighter color is a bit much to look at for long periods.
    • As your audience may be older, you might want to add a page with instructions on how to subscribe to the show
    • You have a great resource page, but didn't mention it much on the podcast. You can drive traffic by saying, "we have a video of this at the website route66podcast.com"

    Website

    What we loved about the show:

    Laura has a great voice and you can hear her passion. I did like that you were talking to me. You seemed relaxed. You were talking to one person. It was Nonscripted and loose.

    Your website is a phenomenal resource.

    It's great that you are interviewing the local people and getting that information you can't get anyplace else.

    What Can Be Tweaked

    The laundry list of people that we'll hear from at the beginning was hard to follow.

    Figure out what you want your audience to take away from the episode and move that to the front.

    You had said, "Famous for their moonlight kayak – sunset, near the woods, luminescence in the water, starlight serenade, violin and Irish songs." Those are the details we were wanted. There is a tremendous opportunity to create a theater of the mind, and when someone did start to explain the lights on the water they were interrupted.

    You brought friends on to help explain their experience, and they said:

    • Amazing
    • Awesome
    • Cool Experience
    • Fun and Super Cool
    • amazing and beautiful
    • Awesome, I love it
    • Great Day
    • Fantastic
    • Great fun

    but you never dug in deeper as to why it was cool or great, etc.

    You seemed to be explaining how qualified the guides were to the point where I started to wonder if you were getting paid. You had already stated that you would be going back, so for me, that is enough to know the guides were good. I'd rather hear more about the experience than the guide.

    You have a GREAT website, and we would get people excited about the destination, and then direct them to the website.

    In today's episode, you don't hear the extra questions and a private lesson on Hindenburg Journalist that Laura received.

  • Agless Hockey

    Ageless Hockey has a description of " This is a podcast for hockey players over 50 years old." The website is agelesshockey.com

    Things We Liked in This Episode

    There was some wise advice about not coming back from an injury early and how to NOT get your gear stolen

    He did a great job talking to a single person. There was no group speak.

    Shared some vulnerability which builds intimacy with his audience.

    The audio sounded fine

    The website is simple and easy to navigate.

    Great "Start Here" option on the website

    Great tease to get people to your website.

    Things He Might Want to Teak

    The transitions were very rough. You might want to see if the stories you are covering and be lined up in a way that makes it easier to transition from one to the other. Use your voice to signal you're changing topics. If nothing else, pause for a half a second.

    The "something about me" section at the end didn't really tie into anything.

    Erik would like to see you "turn up" the grumpy old man character a bit more.

    Be sure to turn the focus around and ask your self, "Whats in it for the listener?"

    Your call to action needs to be refined down to ONE.

  • Copeland Coaching Podcast
    Description

    The Copeland Coaching Podcast is made for job seekers who want to jump-start their job search. Each week we dive into career topics from interviewing to personal branding to applying and negotiating. If you want to switch industries, change careers, or make more money, this is the podcast for you!

    Website

    https://www.copelandcoaching.com/

    What We Thought Was Great

    Intro: "Turn job search into a slam dunk". Great, short intro that told me everything

    You did a good job of connecting the interview into this theme.

    Your website the clean look. The homepage is very focused. It shows a lot of credibilities.

    The second half of the interview had great questions that would be immediately beneficial to your audience.

    What Could Use a Little Effort

    Part of the audio had a fair amount of static

    There were no links to his books in your show notes

    There was some low hanging fruit (The guest said, "That's a good question, and stammered at times) that Dave would've edited out.

    Work some more stories into the conversation and drop hints into what services you offer

    Your audio is being exported at 320 kbps stereo which is overkill

    Avoid talking about things that happened before the recording

    Avoid any group speak "Hey everyone." talk to a single listener

    Your courses button takes you away from your main page, and has no way to get back to the main site.

    Try to limit your calls to action to one at the end of the show.

  • Caregiving For Dementia
    Description of Show

    The show is about the Delaney Family and living with someone with dementia. My mother has had dementia for two years now and I 'm hoping that this podcast will help someone who's in the some situation. Also, I talk about my feeling on a lot of things like religion, politics, and there may even be a lot electronics. So basically the shows is a little bet of everything that we do and get into as a Family. Check out the show at https://babymountainradio.com/

    What We Found Michael Was Doing Well

    Started off the show with a story and got to the story quickly

    The stream of consciousness of the show.

    The listeners feel the emotion and frustration.

    Transparency of "I don't know all the answers."

    Nice call back at the end

    Things that Need Tweaked

    The opening line of where podcasting's hard work made fun is a bit confusing.

    Maybe explain more what the show is about and what is in it for the listener.

    I don't see where I leave you a comment. Is it just on the "contact us" page?

    The website is somewhat hard to read and the links get lost in the background

    You are publishing at a very high bit rate, and that makes the file download slower and take up more room on people's devices.

  • A Modelerslife

    Today Dave and Erik review the podcast "A Modelerslife." All modelers have a life but what do we know of it. This podcast is as much about the people in model railroading has it is about the hobby itself. I've met so many interesting people in the hobby over the years I decided it would be fun to share their back stories with everyone else. So come along with me, Lionel Strang my trusty sidekick, Jim Rindt and Bruce the mail boy as we discover just how many fascinating folks there are in this great hobby.

    Checkout their website at https://www.amodelerslife.com/

    Things We Liked

    Good chemistry with the crew

    The audio quality was good for having such a large crew

    Good follow up questions

    A lot of in-depth analysis and tips on being a model railroader

    Erik loved the story of how the father got his son into trains at an early age (because that's how most people get into trains)

    Things that Could Be Better

    As new listeners, there was no introduction to the show (Welcome to the ___ where we ____). This doesn't have to be long, but tell people what the show is about and tell them what is coming up on the show, if you're not sure, this can always be added in post.

    Dave is afraid having the name modelerslife all one word will make it harder to find in directories like Apple iTunes

    While there is a nice "guys just hanging out working on their stuff" vibe, Dave felt there were time when you could edit some of the "Where should we go now?" discussion out of the show (and just leave you moving on to the next topic)

    On your website, you have a link to explain what Patreon is, but on that page, there are no links to actually join and become a patron.

    The music at the end could be used underneath the "goodbyes" and then shortened.

    Toward the end when you were flipping through the facebook, it seemed like you were running out of ideas. This would be a good strategy for topics, but maybe do it in show prep, and then frame it better.

    There are no links to subscribe to the show for Android people.

    What is Working

    I love the beginning of the show. There was a great tease and the housekeeping was quick

    The advertisement was quick and to the point and the music behind it was fine.

    I like that you gave a shout out to the latest patron

    Good follow questions

    Nice about page on your website

    The shopping cart was smooth and looks nice.

    It sounded more like a conversation than an interrogation.

    What Needs Work

    The intro music was a little long

    The biggest issue is your guests audio, and you don' have much control over that.

    You ask the question, and then you frame it. It's better to frame it and then end with the question

    The menu area at the top of the website was annoying.

    Be sure to keep the newbies in the loop
