In this highly-polarized world, politics is the peak of polarity. When people think Blue versus Red in every conversation, honest and critical analysis of pressing issues often gets left out. Claire Campos-O'Neal seeks to go behind the ballot and really look at the issues in Texas politics independent of Republican or Democratic lenses. Together with her co-host, she puts out regular episodes of the Go Behind the Ballot podcast to reveal patterns that educate her audience on critical issues in local politics. In this conversation with Tracy Hazzard, she explains her method of slowly unraveling issues at a pace that most people are able to keep up with. This way, Claire and her team are democratizing political analysis to help Texans gain heightened awareness of the political climate around them. Tune in and learn how they’re making a nonpartisan political podcast work in this heavily partisan world!

How do you unlock your podcast’s influence potential? How do you build an engaged audience and boost your reach? Here’s where people miss the point of podcasting most of the time. In this field, it’s not about getting in front of the most people; it’s getting in front of the right people and giving them what they really need to hear. John Ball, host of Podfluence, doesn’t just teach this essential strategy. He applies it to his own show. Before becoming Podfluence, John’s show underwent multiple iterations that reflected his need to narrow his focus down and maximize his influence on a very specific audience. If you’re still unsure about the benefits of really niching down in the podcasting world, this may be the conversation that will change your mind. There is a lot of value to be gleaned from this episode, so better tune in!
