You get right to the guest quickly

Very comfortable as an interviewer. Solid journalist.

The audio quality was fine.

You did a great job of asking questions and letting the guest talk

The first segment of the interview seemed a bit like a giant pitch for your guest

Your podcast is a bit hard to find on the site, and you have text links, but those could be hard to find on a mobile device.

Tell me about your history and how you got here" is like asking the guest to tell you their life story with no real direction. You know what your audience needs to know. Your guest doesn't. Intro your guest and ask a question.

While you do a great job of spotlighting the guest, I didn't get to hear about you at all.

I would take the ad spots and use them for your products instead of promoting the competition

Your phone system breaks up on a consistent basis.

There is a lot of calls to action to call the show (and yet there is nobody calling). You might look into voicemail, and then set up a call.

Today we are joined by Dave the Producer and Juliette Miranda of the Unwritable Rant podcast. A great podcast featuring bourbon and great stories.

What The Podcast Did Well

Juliette did a phenomenal job describing the bourbon, and the stories were great. The nicknames you had for your characters and the way you described them really showed off your writing chops. The theater of the mind was in full effect and had both of us laughing out loud. It was like we were in a scene of a movie as you revealed all the action (especially in the second story).

The audio quality is great, and you had nice pacing of the story.

The web design had a very minimalist approach making it easy to find things.

What Needed a bit of Tweaking

Both Erik and Dave were a bit confused as the intro didn't really explain what the show was about and at first, we thought the show was about bourbon. Juliette slid into her first story so smoothly, and neither one of us picked up on the fact that she was starting her story.

The website is a little confusing as you have two websites that bounce back and forth between the two. You might be losing some "Google Juice" by embedding a page with all your shows. Instead, why not write some notes as a blog post and put the podcast player on the post. It might bring more traffic to your site.

The call to action mentioned other stations, but if the goal of the podcast is to promote Juliette's books, it didn't do that very well. You might want to step back and consider what is the goal of the podcast and focus your call to action on that. You can do things like have all your subscription buttons on one page, and all the ways to contact you on one page (and then promote the site)

Your delivery was a bit like a casual reading of an author at a store. It was still being read but sounded very practiced. You sounded very close to being "off the top of your head." If you're going to read, then announce it, and if you're not then maybe not practice so much so that it sounds more like a play performance than a friend telling a story.

Today we have Logan Anderson from the Say the Damn Score Podcast. His description is, "Say the Damn Score: An unprofessional podcast on professional sportscasting." you can find it at www.saythedamnscore.com

The intro helped shape the atmosphere and branding of the show (a fun, edgy podcast)

You got to the guest in less than 1 minute.

The volume levels were good.

The website has a clean and easy to navigate.

The interview was great

Logan did a TON of homework for his interview and it showed

He asked great questions, and because he paid attention to his guest, great follow-up questions.

His link to iTunes on his website started with "itpc://" which works, but you don't get credit for the subscribers (add your iTunes link in PowerPress under the destinations tab).

Erik enjoyed the somewhat sarcastic opening but thought that spirit got a little lost and would advise "putting a little more smile" into his voice at times.

At the beginning of the show, you might consider explaining what the show is, "Welcome to the Say the Damn Score show where we _____ for (typical audience). The average user can figure out it's a sports show but we should identify if we are talking about teams, leagues, etc.

Instead of having multiple calls to action (iTunes, email, etc) put those items on a single page so you can give one call to action.

Make the about page a little more outward focuses on what the show is about, how you're going to benefit, and who it's for.

The Fish Nerds podcast has a tagline, "Best fishing podcast that is always interesting, usually funny & mostly true." This week Clay comes on to has us put the Fish Nerds Show under the microscope.

Great branding. Everything seems well coordinated between the website and the podcast. You instantly know that you take fishing seriously, but not so much yourself (and this show is going to be fun).

Hugo's cooking segments were "Super Real" and we loved the quality from a field reporter. The "Take one for the team" mention of mercury in the fish was humorous.

Clay does a great job of sending people to his Facebook Group to keep the conversation going.

Loved that his guest was someone he didn't agree with and brought him on to have a dialogue.

You got to the content quickly.

A couple of dead links on the website

If Hugo could paint a picture a bit more with his words

Clay refers to "We" when it's really only him.

He has to be careful to not make sponsors sound like "the bad guys."

You might want to change the word "Blog" to podcast (or make two categories and have both)

You might consider getting some swag made at Tee Spring as you have great quotes from your show that could make great swag

There were a couple of Facebook pings during the recording. At times the volume was a little unbalanced (check out www.auphonic.com)

Don't forget about the new people (or people outside the US) to explain the details.

Today Dave and Erik take a listen to a Time For Horses hosted by Abby Nemec What She is Doing Correctly You did a good job of explaining what these were and who would like them. Solid intro – great details in the stories Interesting mix of facts and op...

Toastmasters 101 is a podcast for those people looking to know more about Toastmasters. Think if it is a beginning course for toastmasters. Kim Krajci, is the host and she also does the onthetablepodcasts.com (which for more advanced toastmasters)

I like that what you're reading is not in the show notes.

Liked real life example of leaning on one arm

I like that you showed your own struggles

Love the actionable items, like "take the role of the toastmaster of a meeting"

Love the production, gavel tap & "meeting adjourned"

I like the light heated Tease

There is nothing wrong with reading your podcast unless it sounds like you're reading. Most of the time you can't tell, but you had a few glitches.

Where can I contact you or find more info? Where do I go from here? What if I am not in a Toastmasters group?

You mentioned the manual. Yet I can't find a link to it.

Maybe change subscribe on spreaker to subscribe on Android.

This week we look at This is Rammy a podcast that is here to keep you informed and entertained about news and events in and around Ramsbottom, that's the one line description right there. Lee is a super nice guy.

Here Is What We Liked

Good audio, and the website is nice and clean.

We loved the hyper local focus. Lee could become THE source for local news.

Lee shared some short stories about what was going on with this life. We both felt like he was talking directly to us.

He put the personal stuff at the end for the die-hard fans.

He did a good job of "Shouting out" his audience

The events section is a great resouece

Things He Could Tweak

He was a little stiff (announcer-ish) at the beginning.

We both thought he should invest in some stickers to promote the show.

It's a touch call because he doesn't need to state the obvious, but there may be people listening that need those details.

We both would've appreciated a way to help the person who had the fire

Maybe give a little more details on the owner of the restaurant (again, hard to balance)

Promote your website address a bit more to help drive people to your website.

Maybe give bonus content to the email list.

Today Eric and Dave review 3H2 Humans which according to their website a 3Hs Human is: The name 3H2 HUMANS is a shorthand, mathematical way to express 3H x 2 = 6H. Hungry Horse Humans, Health Happiness Humble are the 6 H's. In plain English,

Punched up is a podcast by Michael Malone and this is not your typical comedian interview show. Mark takes the stories that are only heard in the "Green room" backstage at comedy clubs and brings them to life in a well produced format similar to a style you might hear at NPR.

This show is so well edited, and produced.

We liked the quick into and how he got right into the story

The website has a simple/clean design, and the occasional colors make things stand out.

There are lots of opportunities to subscribe on every episode.

In the event someone downloads your episode (which Mark had turned off) you are missing the ID3 tag for the image.

Eric thought the music at times should be used more as a transition, not to be used to set the mood (there are times when that works, and other times when it becomes distracting).

Be more specific with your call to action. If you want tweets, give your Twitter handle, make it easy to subscribe.

Mark is using Feedburner, which was a good idea in 2006. It does occasionally stall, and its not needed (it causes some issues every now and then).

Today we talk with Bruce from the Germ Free Zone. Bruce has done something no other podcaster has done. He has brought Dave and Erik in before he even launched his show. He wanted feedback before he gets into iTunes. Here is what we found:

Good Stuff:

Bruce has a great intro, his kids are cute, and his passion is obvious.

Bruce has great fats, and great personal stories that really sucked you in.

Things That Could Be Improved:

His use of music throughout the episode became distracting.

He needs to get his kids to slow down when they read.

Work on the layout of the show. It might make better as a shorter show with a great tease about the next show.

A little focus on the germ free zone, and the membership site, and the complaint form.

Bruce's show will be coming soon
