October 18, 2023Why I Switched From Substack to PodPage for My Podcast Website
In this episode of Podcasting and Platforms, I discuss the different website platforms I've used for my podcast. I started with WordPress but soon felt constrained by its limitations. Then, I tried Substack, which I found user-friendly but ran into some security hurdles. After facing challenges getting support from Substack’s customer service, I decided to give Podpage a shot.
I like Podpage - it updates automatically with new podcast episodes and offers a level of customization that makes things pretty straightforward.
Sign up for Podpage here: https://www.podpage.com/?via=21e12e

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.
