Krystals Test Show

Today Dave and Eric take a look at the VR Workforce Studio.

Here are the things we feel are working:

Like the highlight intro and creative intro. It got our attention, had a certain "what's coming next" with the changing voices.

Nice job getting guests to tell stories.

Very descriptive in Rick's intro, and we knew what to expect.

"Tell us about the view from the passenger seat" great question

Great pace, and you keep things moving.

Here are some things we feel could be improved:

You introduced George's story, got me teased in and then went to the other guest.

Music in middle of George's answer was a little distracting.

Music between George and Mary sounded like we were going into another story

Your headline, "George Dennehy and his rise to stardom as a guitarist and singer" has no mention that he has no arms

Dave felt a little lost going to Mary's story and then back to George.

At time some radio cliche's snuck in.

Today we look at Joe's US Daily History Lesson. You can find it at http://joesdailyushistorylesson.com/ Great Stuff Keep Doing This: This content is solid. I like the way it includes a variety of topics from landmarks to business to sports.

Doug Salamone aims to bring interesting stories and interviews with points of view from a different mindset on his Mind Drippings show. The world needs innovative, artistic, entrepreneurial disruption to develop and evolve.

Today Eric and Dave go over his episode, his audio, and his website. Here is what we found:

The intro was nicely produced and made a great first impression. It sets the stage and let's people know what to expect.

He made some really good points, and worked in some stories to help make points

The website has a clean interface

The podcast feels like a discussion rather than a question/answer session.

Great logo

Doug could work on starting out the show by introducing his guest and really explaining who the person is, what they bring to the table, and why they are on the show. Then the first question could push the conversation in the direction Doug is looking to go.

At time his transitions from topic to topic was a bit choppy. There is no reason to announce that you are changing topics (just change topics).

There are no ID3 tags in his mp3 file. While the mp3 file will still download the file, you can look like a hack when someone listens in certain programs.

You image is set to a resolution that can't be viewed by web browsers. Change the image to 90 DPI, and I would resize it (it's currently thousands of pixles).

The paragraphs above the subscribe buttons didn't quite fit.

There were two "About" pages, it might make more sense to combine these with the top section being about the show, and a second paragraph about the host.

Great discussion of the history of work and the possible future. It might've been nicer to have more useful info that listeners can put to work today

Dave felt that the show could've used a bit more editing to get rid of what he felt was "excessive" ums.

If the goal of the show is to build your email list, you might want to add incentives to get people to sign up.

Like the way you introduce both hosts Like the way you set up the show and what is to come I like the incorporation of listener audio Start with positives then work to mistakes. Nobody like to be critiqued. Make it friendly. Great use of links to previous episodes Like the music transitions I like the Spanish words next to the English words in the show notes

The post Aprender Inglés con Reza y Craig appeared first on Podcast Review Show - Get Your Podcast Reviewed.

Today we talk about the Under ten Fitness (itunes link). This is a short podcast (under ten minutes – get it?) that has a little bit of news and the talks about something in the health and fitness area.

Things They Are Doing Right:

Nice job wrapping up the tip & delivering it to one person rather than a group of listeners

Nice job of focusing on a key take away

Things They Could Tweak

Be sure to drive traffic back to their your website, and mention the website in your show.

Work on a website. The classic podcast system is

1. A Self-hosted wordpress website

2. Using Libsyn, or blubrry.com for your media host (and yes you need a media host).

3. Have great looking custom artwork

4. Have an easy to navigate website.

They using podomatic for a media host (one of the worst), and their website is confusing. The website does not match the level of the podcast. You have good content, but your website needs lots of work.

You also want to make it easy to contact you.

Check out their website at undertenfitness.com

About the Bear Arms Show:

The Bear Arms Show is your weekly source for 2nd Amendment news and commentary delivered in a fun, entertaining way. The focus is on efforts to protect, and restore, the right to keep and bear arms. Also featured are interviews with leaders and newsmakers in the 2nd Amendment community. The show is hosted by brothers, John and Michael Willett. They are veterans of the U.S Military and lifelong firearms enthusiasts. You can find them at www.beararmsshow.com/ and in iTunes and Stitcher.

The Good Parts:

The intro and outro along with some of the sound effects and production elements were great (Courtesy of Music Radio Creative). You both have great insights and experience with this topic. As brothers you have a natural chemistry. The website and the audio quality were fine. The branding with the bears is nice icing on the cake. Put that panda on a Tee Shirt!

Things That Could Be Tweaked:

It took you four minutes to introduce what was coming on the show.

You were missing the "Title" ID3 tag.

Work on your transitions. You don't need to announce that you are transitioning, just transition.

Figure out what you want to say in each topic. Then once you've hit all our points, you just figure out how to transition into the next story.

In the case of the Gabby Gifford story, lead with the story then follow it up with your main points.

The Poddcast: Inside the Jewelry Trade (iTunes) (stitcher) Website: http://fourgrainer.com/

This is a podcast designer for Jewlers on how to get more business. Its always kind of hard to get into the shoes of the listener (Jewlers) when you are not the target audience.

Pros:

The intro was well produced, decent energy.

Nice use of humor and not taking yourself too seriously

Lots of time put into the show, very NPR type delivery.

Enjoyed the "changing watch batteries" stories.

Show has an amazing arc. (Why they are excited, what they like most, personal stories, forcasting, recap).

With all the clips, the volume never needed adjusted, and it flowed.

Simple call to action at the end

By asking for a donation, it adds personality to your podcast.

Thing that Might Need Tweaked

The intro promises a lot in the intro, that might lead to confusion

Give a tease as to what is coming on the show at the very beginning.

Not sure why Michelle was missing through most of the episode.

A trick for those doing clip shows. Let the setup and the clip over lap. It makes things keep flowing.

There was a time when it sounded a little "salesy" (which it is, a clip to get people to go to the show).

Website / Technical Thoughts:

Lost the ITJT at the beginning of your podcast posts. Put that at the end of the headline.

Lots of white space, very mobile friendly. Easy navigation

Easy to find contact information

The Audio quality was fine. This is great for the advanced style of production.

Tweaking Point For Website:

Confused by the Formula one cars.

Not sure what Four Grainer means (may be jewelry term)

Surprised there was very few pictures of Jewelry
