Viral Podcasting

Recently I was feeling like the show wasn’t progressing; I was in a rut. I still loved podcasting, but I just felt stymied. I called up my radio coach Valerie Geller to get an air-check along with some advice. She reminded me that 9 months earlier I had lost a loved one and it takes a good year to process grief. This was an aha moment that led to the realization that I was in a low-grade depression. We worked on a some better interview techniques, critiqued my audio quality and made a follow-up appointment. I’ve been flying high ever since. I can’t emphasize enough the need to periodically have a friendly critique to review your work and identify areas for improvement. Some of my best breakthroughs have come after such sessions. Unfortunately, while radio personalities go through the process throughout their careers, few podcasters follow suit. With all these potential benefits and very little downside, isn’t it time you got air-checked. I’ll help you do it, just email me at [email protected].

It’s very easy to get into a podcasting rut. Everything seems to be going fine and why should you want to upset the applecart. However, investing in technology that will actually improve your show is almost always a good investment. We’re not talking about vanity upgrades where you buy something new just to satisfy an emotional desire. Rather we’re talking about investing in innovations that actually improve the quality of your show. I recently purchased a new Mac Mini 2018. I didn’t buy the top of the line, but invested in the best processor and a 1 giga byte hard drive. The results have exceeded my expectations. The computer has virtually eliminated all latency on my videos. It’s way faster and saves my files in a fraction of the time of my last generation Mini. And this is just one small example. There are many more. Remember, your show is a living, breathing entity and you need to always be striving for continuous improvement. New tech can help get you there.
