"There's always a million reasons not to do something." --- Jan Levenson, The Office
That statement couldn't ring more true with podcasting. Because on the surface, it looks like doing a podcast is this overwhelming task with so many moving pieces, pushing it downstream and "worrying about it next week" or "next quarter" seems like the better way to fly.
But guess what? Next quarter will present Next Quarter Problems, thus pushing the benefits of bringing a podcast into your marketing strategy downstream again.
In all aspects of life, there's always going to be OTHER factors that prevent you from doing something you really want to do.
But with podcasting, you're doing much more than just STARTING and DOING a podcast. You're opening up a new channel of communication and content creation that could literally change the face and direction of your brand.
In this installment of Podcast Theory, I'm sharing my reasons why RIGHT NOW is the best time to start your brand podcast (or, at the very least, the planning phases).
Join me as I talk about:
- Why putting off the start of your podcast production does more harm than good
- How to evaluate time when it comes to the structure of your podcast
- How to overcome the belief that podcast production is this overwhelming feat you can never accomplish
- Why business leaders need to look at podcasting as an engine that churns out much-needed content versus something that requires thousands of downloads to be considered a success

Have you ever found yourself in a position where you question whether you should publish an episode of your podcast because it doesn't meet your standards?
If you haven't yet, chances are it's something you'll encounter at some point in your podcasting plight.
In Part 5 of my "5 Things Your Podcast Doesn't Need" series, I'm diving deep into one of the most critical items you need to consider with your production: compromising your standards at the expense of your audience.
In podcasting, the unofficial golden rule is you always consider the listener's experience above all else. If you feature a guest who goes into business for themselves and does nothing but sell - to the point your listener may wonder if this content is for them - you may want to consider other options instead of exposing your listeners to something that will sour them on your show.
You want to ensure you bring value to your listeners at all times. And if that means 86'ing an episode because it doesn't meet your standards, so be it.

The "5 Things Your Podcast Doesn't Need" series rolls on and today, in Part 4, we are taking a slight detour away from the attention spans of your listeners and focusing on an item that many podcasts feature, but don't necessarily need.
As podcasting has evolved, many things have changed and become available to this medium. One of them is the ease in which we can access podcast content on our devices.
Back in the day, the term "PODcast" was literal because you uploaded "internet radio episodes" to your iPod and consumed at will. This was a newfangled thing (as was downloading music onto a portable rectangle), and many shows featured the word "podcast" so people knew what they were accessing.
Today, the question needs to be asked: Does the word "podcast" still need to be used?
I'm exploring this and more in today's episode. Enjoy!

Want to know the most annoying word on a podcast? Then this episode of Podcast Theory is for you!
This is Part 3 of 5 in my series "5 Things Your Podcast Doesn't Need" and today, I'm covering another item that keep your listener from getting to the heart of your content once they click play.
If you listened to Parts 1 & 2 in this series, you discovered that attention spans are at an all-time low for adults (clocking in at a whopping 8.25 seconds).
With that number in mind, getting your listener to the main reason they clicked play on your podcast episodes is at an all-time high.
In this episode, you'll discover something that can easily be removed from your production and, if need be, used in a better way to keep your listeners invested until they reach the end of your episode.

In Part 1 of this 5-part series, I shared some scary numbers regarding the attention span of adults in 2024 and why this is important for podcast creators to consider when laying out their content.
I'm building upon those points in Part 2 today as I share another item your podcast episodes don't need and, ultimately, diminishes your listener's experience if you do it too much.
This particular item can:
- Put more work on your plate
- Take more time than it's worth
- Make things awkward for your guest
- Accomplish more if the guest does it themselves

Podcast Theory is A Bombtrack Media Production
Since first becoming a thing over 20 years ago, podcasts have evolved in numerous ways. From methods of production to repurposing to actual content that makes up the shows you love, creators have embarked on a wild journey to connect you to their brands through this incredible, constantly-growing medium.
As you put your content together, there are some items you may hear on other podcasts that you want to include...and, just as much, some items you don't.
Over the course of the next five episodes of Podcast Theory, I'm going to share some items you've undoubtedly heard on other podcasts (or potentially included in your own production) and let you know why your podcast will better serve your listeners if you DON'T include these things going forward.
In this episode, you'll discover how you can get your listeners to the heart of your content in a fast, efficient way while saving yourself time as well.
Attention spans (or the lack thereof) are incredibly important to keep in mind as you put your content together for your brand. You want to ensure your target customers hear the right things.
But if they lose focus because you aren't getting to the right things fast enough, all is lost.
