Recently, I made a trip to Kansas to speak to the Kansas Association of Broadcasters. I spent three hours speaking with radio programmers and brand managers throughout all of Kansas. And while we spent a lot of time talking about the great things happening with podcasting and digital in radio, what I left there with was an understanding of the pride these people had in their stations. And I couldn't help but think of how that correlates into pride into your individual podcasts.

Thanks for downloading...hope you enjoy!

In this episode of The Talent Show, I dive deep into authenticity as a host. It's key to gaining a loyal following or podcasters and radio hosts. I take you through 6 steps to maintaining authenticity and a natural sound when you record your show. Being authentic is at the core of all successful hosts. Thanks for listening!

When you do a 7 minute podcast...you might get out of your comfort zone.

In this episode of The Talent Show, I share some feedback from a couple of clients who tried the 7 minute podcast challenge. Feedback like, "i felt rushed" and "it didn't feel right." And let me tell you...that's good! You will feel that way the first time you try it, but going through the 7 minute podcast challenge shows you the benefit of a structured show and getting to content quicker. However, it is very important to stay AUTHENTIC and I share with you a tip on getting to that place of natural authenticity when you try a challenge like this.

Thanks and enjoy!

Today's episode of The Talent Show I challenge you to do a 7-minute podcast.

Why?

Because there are a TON of lessons in trying this challenge out. In this episode, I go through why a 7-minute podcast can help you with:

• Getting to the "meat" of your content quicker
• Editing on the FRONT side (so less post production work)
• A recent statistic about how the length of your podcast determines how many listeners will actually make it through to the end.

I hope you try this out. Do a 7-minute show and publish it. See how it feels to prepare, stay on track, get to the meat quicker and deliver on a promise of information to your audience.

Thanks and have a great show!

Today's episode is a great question!

What is more important - to put out shows consistently or have a quality show? In this episode of The Talent Show, I look into this question from a listener. I discuss the importance of being consistent AND have good quality. And when I say good quality, I am speaking to content and execution, not whether or not you have the right microphone. I also discuss how to create consistent execution so you can feel good every time you publish.

Thanks all!
