May 10, 2023The Art of Engaging Podcasts: Characters, Direction, and Community
In this episode, we address a question from Alan Cogan about finding a clear direction for your podcast. Alan shares his struggle with focusing on the quality of the look and sound of his podcast, but not the content itself. We discuss the importance of understanding your voice, serving your audience, and engaging with your community to create a successful podcast.
How can you find your clear direction? By practicing, constantly surveying your audience, staying true to your purpose, and networking within your niche community. Remember, your podcast is more like writing a book than hosting a talk radio show. Focus on the content and the value you can bring to your listeners.
Tune in to hear more about how I found his voice, built communities through podcasting, and the lessons I learned throughout his journey.

April 27, 2023Live Q&A: Is It Too Late To Start a Podcast? How Do I Find a Cohost? How Do I Get More Polished?
Chris Spangle discusses the common concern of whether it's too late to start a podcast, how to get the first 100 listeners, and how to find a good co-host.
He shares statistics on podcast growth, active podcasts, and the saturation of different niches. Comparing podcasting to other media platforms, Chris highlights the potential for growth in the industry and encourages listeners to dive in.
He also discusses strategies for growing your podcast audience from zero to a hundred listeners, finding a co-host, and improving public speaking skills for a more compelling listening experience. The key takeaways include:
Be persistent and promote your content on social media, asking friends and family to listen, and reaching out to other podcasters to be a guest on their shows or invite them to yours.
To find a co-host, build genuine connections and friendships with like-minded individuals. Explore local meetups, and social media groups, and invite potential co-hosts to participate in your show as a trial run.
Consider joining Toastmasters or trying open mic standup comedy to improve public speaking skills. Practice makes perfect, so keep experimenting and refining your style behind the scenes.
Dale then asks about bridging the gap between entertainment and self-improvement within a Christian context. They explore the importance of having a clear mission statement and central theme for a podcast while also considering how to combine humor and serious content effectively. Listen in as they brainstorm potential podcast titles, too.

January 20, 2023Q&A - Should I Do Video or Just Audio for My Podcast?
Jocelyn recently wrote on our Instagram (@podcastingap) and asked about creating something visual for YouTube. She said that it was exhausting and that she only did one segment. So how important is it to make a video version of audio content for YouTube podcasts?
Video - https://youtu.be/_luFwU8JobI
Creating a video for YouTube can be daunting, but is it worth it? To help with that decision, I want to refer you to a previous video on the pros and cons of video content.
I looked at her video to answer her question and explained what we had discussed. My first impressions are that it's impressive for an audio-only podcast featured on YouTube. It's really well done. I'd love to know what software you used for this, so please comment below and let me know, and I'll let other people know.
You said it took a ton of time, which is understandable, but you have to evaluate the time commitment versus the number of people viewing it. It sounds like you're already burnt out after doing one. Could you have gotten those 10 views with something that took you 15 minutes using the Headliner software, which is automated? You have to balance the quality vs. the time.
Quality is always going to get you more views over time. Two years from now, if you're putting in that time and dedication, you will have more viewers on YouTube than something a little bit simpler. For example, I use Headliner and other software to produce videos, but they get fewer views than the more complex and well-done videos. But what is that number? Is it 50 views per show with Headliner, which is automated, and 100 views for something you spent hours on? Is that a good tradeoff? In my mind, no. You'd be better off putting time into the content part instead of the distribution part.
Time is at a premium, and my central focus for distribution is a quality audio product. YouTube is a secondary service to give podcast listeners on the platform access to my content, and it is not my main focus. There are so many platforms for distribution and don't try to do them all. Just put time into what gets you the best return for your goals.
So, Jocelyn, take some time to evaluate your approach and decide what works best for you.

October 19, 2022Five Pros and Three Cons for Using Video on Your Podcast
Audio podcasts are fairly cheap and easy to produce, but the video adds a lot of complexity. Is it worth it? In this episode, I'll discuss the pros and cons of adding video to your podcasting.
Video - https://youtu.be/HFX0ItjEoOk
Pros
1. Social Media is your main marketing channel, and they’ve prioritized video.
2. It expands the reach of your podcast through search.
3. People that don’t listen to podcasts might see it on YouTube, Facebook, or LinkedIn video.
4. A video promo through TikTok or Reels is more eye-catching than a Headliner-style video. This allows you to quickly communicate your show's main idea to people who may never listen.
5. Reach podcasts around the globe. [https://www.statista.com/statistics/1320447/poland-platforms-for-podcast-listening/?utm\_source=podnews.net&utm\_medium=email&utm\_campaign=podnews.net:2022-10-11]
Cons
1. Expense.
2. Difficulty
3. It takes more time. Not just the production but editing and distribution.
