The Podcast Producers welcomes Harry Duran of the Podcast Junkies onto the show. Harry's podcast is incredibly unique in both style and vibe. You feel like you're able to let loose and relax into your chair whenever you listen to his show. We invited this Podcast Junkie on the show today to get to know him a little bit better. Harry believes that the 15-20 minute mark is when an interview tends to hit the sweet spot and start to get good. He also loves to interview people with the video on so that he can see his guests' reactions to his thought-provoking questions.
Key Takeaways:
[1:20] Jessica has lost her voice.
[2:30] Could you be silent for 11 days?
[2:50] Harry Duran joins us on today's show!

[7:15] Harry, do you ever listen to your own show?
[9:25] Shout-out to all our Lebanese listeners.
[10:50] There are many layers to producing really good music.
[11:50] What was the most uncomfortable interview Harry ever did?
[18:45] Doesn't it get distracting when you have a Skype interview with video on?
[19:55] Harry is trying to get more comfortable with the silence during an interview.
[21:25] Waiting and letting people continue their secondary thought after a question is answered can reveal much more than their initial response.
[21:50] The real meat of the conversation comes in about 15-20 minutes into an interview.
[23:05] Who is Harry?
[23:50] Harry is spiritual, but not religious.
[25:25] Harry and his wife, Nathalie, have a dog named Disco who has been with them for 11 years.
[26:50] Who is Nathalie?
[29:15] Harry is a pure New Yorker at heart, but it's important to get out of your comfort zone.
[30:05] Harry talks about living through Hurricane Sandy.
[32:30] Most people will not be able to survive more than three days because they don't have an emergency plan.
[36:00] Jessica doesn't want to teach her kids that strangers are bad, because most people aren't like that.
[38:10] Harry is sooooo good at marketing.
[40:25] You're never trying to sell the mattress, you're trying to sell a good night's sleep.
[41:40] Hey Harry, help us come up with a retention hashtag!
[43:45] First three people to hashtag Harry will get a free Podcast Junkies t-shirt.
[46:15] Heads up listeners! We're recording these shows and then releasing them. We're not batch producing The Podcast Producers this season.

Welcome to the first episode of season two of The Podcast Producers. We'd first like to say thank you to Podcast Movement for sponsoring us. So, what's in store for season two? Well, we're taking a different direction to the second season than we did in the first. Our goal this season is to have fun and interview some 'old-timer' podcasters. We are kicking off this season with our first guest Dave Jackson, the host of School of Podcasting. He is funny, he has been podcasting for a long, long while, and he's working with Libsyn now!
Key Takeaways:
[0:06] Thank you Podcast Movement for sponsoring us!
[0:50] Welcome to season two of The Podcast Producers!
[3:45] Are we seriously going to do another ten episodes in two months?
[4:10] Wait! Why are we doing this? What's the purpose of season two?
[5:15] The most important part for us is to make this enjoyable and fun.
[5:55] How did we choose these guests for the show?
[7:55] Our guests have been podcasting for at least one year.
[8:50] Today's guest is Dave Jackson from School of Podcasting.
[9:55] Podcast Movement bought all of our ad space for season two.
[12:45] Are you guys going to Podcast Movement? Call us at 347-480-1153 and leave us a message.
[14:00] Welcome Dave! Sorry we had to reschedule twice.
[19:00] Dave has helped more people at Libsyn than he did as a teacher.
[20:45] What are review swaps?
[23:20] At the end of the day, review swaps are hurting you more than helping you.
[26:20] The number of reviews you have does not increase your audience size.
[26:50] At the end of the day, it's really about delivering value to your audience.
[28:10] The podcaster, Max Flight, started a Slack group for his audience.
[29:15] Don't focus on the stats. Instead, focus on your target audience and create relationships with them.
[29:50] What's the deal with iTunes’ New and Noteworthy section?
[32:45] You're actually not going to see a huge audience spike if you're in this section.
[33:45] Don't make such a big deal about getting into New and Noteworthy.
[35:35] Dave has a loud cat and his listeners can hear him in the background.
[39:15] Which podcasts does Dave listen to?
[41:15] Dave doesn't find the comedy category podcasts all that funny these days.
[44:20] Did Dave receive comedy training? His timing is always on point.
[46:50] Want to grow your audience? Find your competition and then start your show with them.
[47:15] Corey talks about the elevator incident with Ray Ortega.
