Congrats! You figured out how to make a podcast. But before you launch your training course or chime in with advice on public forums, maybe you should try your hand at even harder ways to make a podcast?

Great podcasting doesn’t happen by accident. Even good podcasting can be made better with a more deliberate approach. It’s OK if you don’t agree. Plenty of others are planning podcasting’s future without you.

Your dedicated audience will forgive you for just about anything. But for the new and potential podcast listener, your lack of understanding of how they experience your content for the first time is limiting growth.

Your local gym or fitness club is a good metaphor for understanding how people approach the craft of podcasting. Here’s how to keep your microphone out of the juice blender.

A year ago, I told you it would never be easier to make a good podcast than it was right then. But I’m always a fan of rechecking my assumptions. Let’s examine this topic for 2020, shall we?

By now, you’d think it would be easy to find new listeners for your podcast. But it’s anything but easy, even as podcasting approaches its 16th birthday. Maybe we’re going at it all wrong?

Podcasting, like any craft, often feels best when you get in the zone. Call it focus if you like, but things just seem to flow better. Unless you get too focused and lose sight of the bigger picture.

With a few notable exceptions that get all the money, most podcasters aren’t paid by the download. For us (probably you), the intangible benefits of podcasting are the most important thing. How do you track those?

Lots of podcasters feel like they should do more in podcasting. But then they look at the amount of hours/days they already spend and quickly squash that idea. But more doesn’t always mean more of the same.

Podcasters have been predicting the death of radio since 2004. But it hasn’t happened. Today, radio is making a big push to podcasting. And if podcasters are smart, they’ll ride that wave and gain new listeners.
