How do you find guests when your podcast covers extremely niche topics? It's a challenge many creators face, especially when starting out. Dave Jackson and Jim Cullison tackle this question head-on, providing practical strategies that go beyond the standard advice. Rather than endless online searching, they suggest going directly to where your potential guests gather, leveraging existing connections, and most importantly, asking current guests for recommendations.

The episode takes a heartfelt turn as the hosts pay tribute to podcasting pioneer Todd Cochran, founder of Blubrry, who recently passed away. Todd's unwavering commitment to open RSS, transparent business practices, and advocacy for podcasters has left an indelible mark on the industry. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, Dave and Jim highlight how Todd's principled approach to business and genuine care for the podcasting community set a standard that continues to influence the medium today.

00:00:00.321 --> 00:00:04.291
Ask the Podcast Coach for September 13th 2025.

00:00:04.291 --> 00:00:07.051
Let's get ready to podcast.

00:00:07.051 --> 00:00:09.804
There it is.

00:00:09.804 --> 00:00:10.882
It's that music.

00:00:10.882 --> 00:00:12.468
That means it's Saturday morning.

00:00:12.468 --> 00:00:17.951
It's time for Ask the Podcast Coach, where you get your podcast questions answered live.

00:00:17.951 --> 00:00:27.103
I'm Dave Jackson from theschoolofpodcastingcom, and joining me right over there is the one and only jim cullison from the average guy dot tv.

00:00:27.103 --> 00:00:28.266
Jim, how's it going, buddy?

00:00:28.868 --> 00:00:29.469
greetings, dave.

00:00:29.469 --> 00:00:30.733
Happy saturday morning to you.

00:00:30.733 --> 00:00:32.485
Always good to be with you on saturday.

00:00:32.485 --> 00:00:41.231
And the lover boy song everybody's working for the weekend has never been stronger than yeah, thank goodness we got to the weekend.

00:00:41.712 --> 00:00:43.936
I played that in a band many moons ago.

00:00:43.936 --> 00:00:45.219
We're here for this.

00:00:45.219 --> 00:00:52.963
We made it to Saturday and Mike, if you've seen Mike Reno, I'll give him credit the lead singer of Loverboy.

00:00:52.963 --> 00:00:54.670
For those who are like what's a Mike Reno?

00:00:54.670 --> 00:01:00.828
He still goes for the high note in Take Me Loose and eventually gets there.

00:01:00.828 --> 00:01:07.024
It's not pretty and it kind of sounds like somebody strangling your dog, but I got to give him credit.

00:01:07.024 --> 00:01:11.563
Um, but if you strangle your dog, you know what will fix its uh, its throat?

00:01:11.563 --> 00:01:13.126
Yeah, a little bit of coffee.

00:01:13.126 --> 00:01:15.031
A little bit of coffee, absolutely.

00:01:15.292 --> 00:01:15.879
I'm out of whack.

00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:16.700
Hold on, give me a second.

00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:17.802
I didn't have it ready.

00:01:17.802 --> 00:01:18.623
Okay, here we go.

00:01:18.623 --> 00:01:25.531
There you go, and that coffee pour is brought to you by our buddy, mark, over at there.

00:01:25.531 --> 00:01:38.834
It is podcastbrandingco, because they're going to see you before they hear you, and I've used Mark for a lot of my artwork and anything you need that's going to be public facing.

00:01:38.834 --> 00:01:41.447
Well, you know you want it to look good.

00:01:41.540 --> 00:01:47.671
In fact, a recent study said that 41% of people will give a podcast one shot.

00:01:47.671 --> 00:01:55.239
That's it, and if you don't make a good first impression, you're out and Mark is going to help you with all your visuals and your branding.

00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:59.965
If you're like I'm not sure what branding means, well, that's what Mark does, so hire him.

00:01:59.965 --> 00:02:05.587
He's a podcaster and an award-winning graphic artist, and so he understands podcasting.

00:02:05.587 --> 00:02:10.643
He's going to sit down with you one-on-one, figure out what your show's about and then make artwork.

00:02:10.643 --> 00:02:18.645
That's just amazing, and if you need a whole website to go with that artwork, even better, because he's the guy that does it all.

00:02:18.645 --> 00:02:25.247
When you're ready to look good and make a great first impression, there's only one place to go, and that's podcastbrandingco.

00:02:31.191 --> 00:02:36.967
Tell him, dave and jim sent you why would you want to hold the phone?

00:02:36.967 --> 00:02:38.270
The phone's the best part.

00:02:38.270 --> 00:02:40.961
Yeah, thanks to our good friend, dan lefebvre over there.

00:02:40.961 --> 00:02:49.375
Based on a true story, based basedonatruestorypodcastcom and, as Dan has said in the chat before, no podcast is released before it's time.

00:02:49.375 --> 00:02:52.188
So this week still out there Young Guns 2.

00:02:52.188 --> 00:02:56.528
If you didn't get a chance to catch it last week, catch it this week.

00:02:56.528 --> 00:02:57.550
Available for again.

00:02:57.550 --> 00:02:58.653
I love Dan's artwork.

00:02:58.653 --> 00:03:04.312
If you want to get a good look at creativity and the artwork for the podcast, check it out today.

00:03:04.312 --> 00:03:07.506
Based on a True story, based on truestorypodcastcom.

00:03:07.506 --> 00:03:14.610
And, as always, dan, thanks for your sponsorship and some delicious coffee yeah he's, he's got a great look.

00:03:14.670 --> 00:03:19.545
Talk about somebody making a good first impression oh yeah his artwork is always.

00:03:20.228 --> 00:03:21.509
It's not a one and done, he's got.

00:03:21.509 --> 00:03:22.171
He does that.

00:03:22.171 --> 00:03:25.198
You know he does the album art, the original album art.

00:03:25.198 --> 00:03:29.551
Yeah, he's got his own art for it, his own rendition, his own take on it.

00:03:29.551 --> 00:03:36.354
A great way of thinking about how to do album art or, you know, even episode artwork creatively.

00:03:36.354 --> 00:03:39.168
So good, good, good on you.

00:03:39.207 --> 00:03:42.106
Dan, yeah, I got a fun question here.

00:03:42.106 --> 00:03:43.143
I think people are overthinking it a bit.

00:03:43.143 --> 00:03:43.105
Yeah, I got a fun question here.

00:03:43.105 --> 00:03:48.800
I think people are overthinking it a bit.

00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:53.304
He or she says help me think outside the box to find guests for my very small new show.

00:03:53.304 --> 00:03:59.134
It says I've been reading and following what people suggest here on Reddit for using the guest subreddit and approaching people in my niche to find guests.

00:03:59.681 --> 00:04:04.431
I host a solo podcast made up of my stripper stories, so I'm assuming this is a she.

00:04:04.431 --> 00:04:10.592
Then maybe you never know there are male strippers and would love to interview fellow dancers enthused customers.

00:04:10.592 --> 00:04:12.342
Boy, there's a, there's.

00:04:12.342 --> 00:04:13.223
Hey, I want to interview.

00:04:13.223 --> 00:04:16.029
Yeah, me, I, I love candy.

00:04:16.029 --> 00:04:25.730
You know ginger's the best different types of service industry folks, club staff and adult industry professionals on my show, which could be fun.

00:04:25.730 --> 00:04:36.334
I figure my best bet is to message other small podcasts and either do an exchange with a dancer podcast or, better yet, find small podcasts that are niche adjacent.

00:04:36.755 --> 00:04:40.004
This approach has been pretty tedious.

00:04:40.004 --> 00:04:45.374
It's obviously much easier to search and find large podcasts than small or very new ones.

00:04:45.374 --> 00:04:52.233
So my two questions are is this kind of tedious to be expected or am I just a crappy researcher?

00:04:52.233 --> 00:04:56.810
What's been working well for finding guests for your small and or new podcast.

00:04:56.810 --> 00:04:57.992
Thanks for reading.

00:04:57.992 --> 00:05:00.228
Curious to hear your thoughts.

00:05:00.228 --> 00:05:07.413
Now call me crazy, jim, but if I was looking for strippers, where could I find strippers?

00:05:07.413 --> 00:05:13.247
Yeah, well, that was my whole point.

00:05:13.247 --> 00:05:14.444
People are overthinking this.

00:05:14.444 --> 00:05:15.865
They're like I don't know how to find.

00:05:15.865 --> 00:05:17.326
I'm like I don't know.

00:05:17.326 --> 00:05:19.026
Go to the bad part of town.

00:05:19.026 --> 00:05:24.894
There's probably a few clubs where people dance around in less than normal clothes and go.

00:05:24.894 --> 00:05:27.000
Hey, I do a show for strippers.

00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.048
Want to be on my podcast, you know.

00:05:30.689 --> 00:05:39.288
So I mean listen, listen in general, as we just think in general about, especially in the niche, right, finding, finding your community.

00:05:39.288 --> 00:05:42.884
Let's, let's let's put it that way finding your community out there.

00:05:42.884 --> 00:05:51.891
Yeah, it's tedious, like especially the, the, the, the smaller, the you know, the tighter the niche, the the harder it is.

00:05:51.891 --> 00:05:56.740
And so you've, yeah, you're gonna, it's gonna be a struggle, you're gonna have to do some, you're gonna play some groundwork.

00:05:56.740 --> 00:06:02.221
That my advice always has been to podcasters who are looking who do the guest thing right.

00:06:02.221 --> 00:06:04.869
You know two, two things I always say with this.

00:06:05.290 --> 00:06:09.004
One is, when you find a good guest, make invite them back.

00:06:09.004 --> 00:06:15.180
You don't have to have an original one and done you know kind of thing.

00:06:15.180 --> 00:06:18.189
Oh well, you were on six months ago, you can't be back on again.

00:06:18.189 --> 00:06:20.101
My listeners won't know if they were good.

00:06:20.101 --> 00:06:22.146
Have them back on, right.

00:06:22.146 --> 00:06:25.112
So make sure you're reusing your good.

00:06:25.112 --> 00:06:26.761
You know your good, your good guests.

00:06:26.761 --> 00:06:37.487
And then two, with guests, make sure that you, when you find a good one, ask them hey, who do you know that I should be right.

00:06:37.487 --> 00:06:41.244
You know that I should be interviewing who should be on my show, who would you recommend?

00:06:41.244 --> 00:06:45.165
You know you're not selling things to them, you're just going to call them up and invite them on the show.

00:06:45.165 --> 00:06:58.439
So I think that's you grow your network in those two ways Keep the good ones that you have and then start using the folks that you have on there, and then and I guess maybe three would be there's plenty of podcast services right Now.

00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.286
To be honest, dave, they don't have everything Like I've.

00:07:01.605 --> 00:07:08.245
I've tried using both the big, the big ones, and you know for what I'm looking for, the kind of guests I'm looking for.

00:07:08.245 --> 00:07:10.692
I haven't really had that great of luck with them.

00:07:10.692 --> 00:07:12.425
Right, listen, they're great.

00:07:12.425 --> 00:07:16.620
They're great If you're doing a leadership podcast, if you're doing a, you know.

00:07:16.620 --> 00:07:17.862
If you're doing you know there's a.

00:07:17.862 --> 00:07:23.408
There's a couple of topics out there that are super hot, that I'm just not in that space, but so there's services as well.

00:07:23.408 --> 00:07:23.889
So that's what.

00:07:23.889 --> 00:07:25.932
That's what I would say I would like you got.

00:07:25.932 --> 00:07:29.255
You know, make sure you're taking care of the ones you have.

00:07:29.255 --> 00:07:35.747
It's just kind of like life right, make sure they take care of the friends that you have, and then ask those friends hey, who else do you know?

00:07:35.747 --> 00:07:37.132
Like, who else should be on here?

00:07:37.132 --> 00:07:40.004
And I think you got a good, I think you have a good run at it that way.

00:07:40.524 --> 00:07:41.004
That's it.

00:07:41.004 --> 00:07:47.935
I could do this weird transition, and you know who likes strippers Todd Cochran.

00:07:47.935 --> 00:07:50.788
Actually, I don't know that for sure.

00:07:50.788 --> 00:07:52.846
Dave, what is wrong?

00:07:52.846 --> 00:07:57.149
With you this morning I have the weirdest transitions in my life here.

00:07:57.149 --> 00:07:59.826
No, I'm trying to keep it light and fun.

00:07:59.846 --> 00:08:07.350
I know, but yeah, we did lose Todd on Monday and that literally stopped me dead in my tracks.

00:08:07.350 --> 00:08:10.449
I was Mike Dell, was nice enough to call me.

00:08:10.449 --> 00:08:13.990
What was weird about that is I didn't have Mike in my phone.

00:08:13.990 --> 00:08:23.307
So twice in the morning, this wireless, this unknown wireless caller, calls me and I'm like I don't know about you, but I'm I.

00:08:23.526 --> 00:08:29.165
Right now I have a lot of people who keep calling me, asking me to sell a house I do not live in.

00:08:29.165 --> 00:08:31.550
They're like is this Dave?

00:08:31.550 --> 00:08:32.493
And I'm like yeah.

00:08:32.493 --> 00:08:35.629
And they're like, yeah, I'm calling about the property on Beachwood.

00:08:35.629 --> 00:08:38.643
And I'm like, yeah, I don't live there, nor do I own that house.

00:08:38.643 --> 00:08:41.746
So, whatever list I'm on, could you please take me off?

00:08:41.746 --> 00:08:44.409
And they're like, oh, I just bought the list, I don't run it.

00:08:44.409 --> 00:08:45.572
I'm like, oh, great, wonderful.

00:08:45.572 --> 00:08:51.885
And so I thought it was one of those guys and it was Mike Dell and he just said, hey, I got some.

00:08:51.885 --> 00:08:52.788
Cause it's weird.

00:08:52.788 --> 00:08:54.272
I was like hey, mike, what's up, you know?

00:08:54.272 --> 00:08:57.160
And he's like oh, I got some bad news for you.

00:08:57.160 --> 00:08:59.902
And I'm like, oh, and I literally just stopped walking.

00:08:59.902 --> 00:09:01.222
I was like what?

00:09:01.222 --> 00:09:07.926
No, because I just saw him, like three weeks ago, and he had dropped 30 pounds.

00:09:07.926 --> 00:09:14.408
He looked great and you know I was like, wow, we got lots of questions in the chat room.

00:09:14.408 --> 00:09:17.309
Wow, that was a very Dave thing to do Right in the middle of talking about Todd.

00:09:17.370 --> 00:09:27.533
I went squirrel, but it's just one of those things where you know somebody's there and then they're not, and I guess he had a blood clot of some sort.

00:09:27.533 --> 00:09:34.736
I don't know what causes blood clots and you know, when those things make it to your heart there's not a you know, no.

00:09:34.736 --> 00:09:37.118
No, your lungs, or your lungs, yeah.

00:09:37.437 --> 00:09:38.899
Yeah, this happened to my mom.

00:09:38.899 --> 00:09:40.280
She had fallen.

00:09:40.280 --> 00:09:41.163
And then they put a.

00:09:41.163 --> 00:09:44.571
They put a brace on her knee and then she flew.

00:09:44.571 --> 00:09:48.759
When she got off the plane they took the brace off and that's when the blood clots were released.

00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:50.104
She now she's.

00:09:50.104 --> 00:09:51.489
She luckily survived it.

00:09:51.489 --> 00:09:53.967
She was never the same, but that's a that's a tough deal.

00:09:53.967 --> 00:09:58.519
Yeah, we think about, listen, we think about the contribution that Todd made, by the way.

00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:04.609
Appreciate, you know, todd and Adam and Mike, and and those guys Rob Greenlee yeah, todd and Adam and Mike.

00:10:04.629 --> 00:10:06.591
And and Rob Greenlee yeah, rob Greenlee, getting together.

00:10:06.591 --> 00:10:07.232
Man, that was.

00:10:07.232 --> 00:10:16.029
There were times at the very end they played Rob and Todd from the last new media show, and you know.

00:10:16.029 --> 00:10:17.460
So Todd's like, all right, I'm Todd Cochran, we'll see you next week.

00:10:17.460 --> 00:10:20.128
And then you're like, it just was like, oh yeah.

00:10:22.062 --> 00:10:25.408
Yeah, you never know, right, you never know what going to.

00:10:25.408 --> 00:10:27.212
That's always the lessons in these.

00:10:27.212 --> 00:10:29.948
Right, we do these things and you think, oh, I'll do it tomorrow.

00:10:29.948 --> 00:10:32.006
Well, maybe not, right?

00:10:32.006 --> 00:10:39.474
I mean, there's some good opportunities in thinking, why wait till tomorrow what you can do today, if it's that important to get it kind of done?

00:10:39.474 --> 00:10:42.288
But listen, we have to live our life with planning too.

00:10:42.288 --> 00:10:47.886
You can't just live.

00:10:47.886 --> 00:10:53.413
I mean, if you try to just live every day to its fullest, I mean, that's not sustainable either.

00:10:53.413 --> 00:10:58.023
You need rest, you need to eat correctly, you need some of those things Well.

00:10:58.124 --> 00:11:00.320
I've already lost weight thanks to Todd.

00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:06.299
I was like okay, time to get back on the treadmill, you know, time to stop eating junk, you know?

00:11:06.441 --> 00:11:33.647
I think one of the things one of the things I take away from that from from from what, from Todd's life and what he did is he genuinely cared about podcasting and podcast oh man, yeah, genuinely cared about people in the, in the sense that he wanted what was best for them in podcasting and he wouldn't take crappy deals for podcasters, and he was always standing up for the podcaster sometimes to his detriment, right and and.

00:11:33.647 --> 00:11:45.219
But he, he didn't care, he, he stood in the gap, he did his job, he, he was always there, he was always consistent, he never missed things, like he was always at all these events.

00:11:45.219 --> 00:11:53.442
He was, I mean, he was just, you know, he, uh, you know, appreciated his service for the navy as well as a service to podcasters.

00:11:53.442 --> 00:11:56.028
And he, he was just he.

00:11:56.028 --> 00:11:58.833
He said what he believed and he did what he said.

00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:02.385
Yeah, man, that's not that's, there's not a lot of that.

00:12:02.385 --> 00:12:03.488
I mean it's not a lot of that.

00:12:03.488 --> 00:12:04.909
I mean it's not a lot of that today.

00:12:04.909 --> 00:12:07.735
And I just appreciated him and his commitment to it.

00:12:07.735 --> 00:12:12.392
And he leaves a big he lives a big gaping hole in the podcast space for sure.

00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:20.428
Craig said I was listening to the latest episode of the new media show and when he heard the tragic news and he goes, I felt like I lost a friend, even though I never met him.

00:12:20.428 --> 00:12:30.312
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's my my favorite thing to hear Todd say was you know, I probably shouldn't say this because I knew whatever was coming was going to be a doozy.

00:12:30.312 --> 00:12:30.620
He was.

00:12:30.620 --> 00:12:38.524
I'm sure he kept his secrets, but there were many that I was like okay, it rhymes with right, grow soft, but I'm not going to say who it is.

00:12:38.524 --> 00:12:46.115
And you're like okay, so Microsoft did what you know, it's like so, but he was, and I mean I actually got it off eBay.

00:12:46.115 --> 00:12:47.162
It's, it's on its way here.

00:12:47.282 --> 00:12:48.424
I bought Todd's book.

00:12:48.424 --> 00:12:54.105
It was the very first book on podcasting and it doesn't mention iTunes because it wasn't in iTunes yet.

00:12:54.105 --> 00:13:17.725
I mean it was the first book on podcasting and you know he, it was funny because I mean I was in that meeting when all these media hosts got together and said, hey, if we all got together and rolled out this podcasting 2.0, like if we all picked one feature and then we all did it, then the apps could do it and then we rolled out another feature.

00:13:17.725 --> 00:13:18.909
You know, then this would.

00:13:18.909 --> 00:13:26.383
Todd saw where it's not going to work.

00:13:26.383 --> 00:13:30.797
Not because people can't work together, but you have different levels of tech debt and some hosts can move faster than others.

00:13:30.797 --> 00:13:48.753
And so Todd came out of the gate with like, ok, here's seven new features for Podcasting 2.0, knowing that that would be a little more of a burden on the support staff, because it wasn't that easy, but still not that easy to do the whole streaming Satoshi thing and all that.

00:13:48.753 --> 00:13:58.000
He was just the first company that publicly stated we're raising our prices, you know, and that's not, nobody wants to hear that.

00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:12.764
But he also, again, was very transparent, said well, look, I've got a staff that gets health benefits and you know, the minimum wage has gone up and it's like all these things, and they haven't raised their prices in 20 years.

00:14:12.764 --> 00:14:16.331
They hadn't raised their prices and nobody wanted to move first.

00:14:16.331 --> 00:14:19.302
And Todd was like well, we got to do what we got to do.

00:14:19.302 --> 00:14:21.687
So you know it's.

00:14:22.227 --> 00:14:25.033
He did a lot of firsts, you know, and was always.

00:14:25.033 --> 00:14:30.465
You know, we all kind of joke about being an old curmudgeon and I will take that moniker.

00:14:30.465 --> 00:14:32.951
I agreed with everything Todd ever said.

00:14:32.951 --> 00:14:35.284
Most of the time there's there's a fun statement.

00:14:35.284 --> 00:14:38.472
I agreed with Todd all the time, most of the time.

00:14:38.472 --> 00:14:42.903
But when it comes to open RSS, me and Todd were, we're buddies on that.

00:14:42.903 --> 00:14:44.465
When it comes to open RSS, me and Todd were buddies on that, yeah yeah.

00:14:44.485 --> 00:14:53.272
The other thing about Todd is, you know we're all kind of joking because you know, Todd was a little rough around the edges but on the inside he was.

00:14:53.272 --> 00:14:57.176
I don't know what kind of candy is hard on the outside and gooey on the inside.

00:14:57.176 --> 00:14:59.216
He's like I don't know an M&M or something.

00:14:59.216 --> 00:15:17.115
But when you sat down and talked to the guy nicest guy on the planet he, you know a little unfiltered and but but the beauty of that is that was just Todd being Todd, like he wasn't, you know, and he'd be the first to say that he didn't have a voice for radio.

00:15:17.115 --> 00:15:23.144
And he in fact I think James Cridland played a clip where he's like, look, I butcher the English language.

00:15:23.144 --> 00:15:27.629
And he's like, look, I'm just some guy that you know I did the Navy.

00:15:27.629 --> 00:15:29.993
And he's like, if I can do this, anybody can do it.

00:15:29.993 --> 00:15:31.774
And so, yeah, it's.

00:15:31.774 --> 00:15:34.017
And the other thing that it.

00:15:35.317 --> 00:15:48.736
That for me is I think I had it might've been Gordon Firemark or somebody on about what happens if you die, like what happens to your podcast.

00:15:48.736 --> 00:15:55.174
And I remember that was like probably two years ago, if not more than that, and I was like, yeah, I probably should do something.

00:15:55.174 --> 00:16:05.394
And then when my buddy, neil Galarte, died, about probably a little over a year ago, I was like, yeah, I probably should get that in place and I still don't have that in place.

00:16:05.394 --> 00:16:09.634
So that's actually one of the things on my my, if nothing else, I just need to put a.

00:16:09.634 --> 00:16:15.788
It's funny because I'm in the.

00:16:15.807 --> 00:16:27.350
This was my parents' bedroom growing up and I'm pretty sure my brother could figure out that if Dave has a will, it's going to be in that closet on the left-hand side, because my dad would remind us every time I went to his house hey, you know like he's nowhere near dying.

00:16:27.350 --> 00:16:36.788
It was like, just so, you guys know, in that closet upper and you know like he's nowhere near dying.

00:16:36.788 --> 00:16:40.460
It's like, just so, you guys know in that closet upper and he'd make us here's the box and like, okay, so I'm gonna put whatever I have there, so my brother or whoever can figure it out.

00:16:40.460 --> 00:16:41.844
But uh, it's one of those things we need to, you know, to figure out.

00:16:41.844 --> 00:16:43.268
So there you go.

00:16:43.268 --> 00:16:44.650
Well, which makes sense.

00:16:44.730 --> 00:16:50.592
Todd was like a tootsie roll, yeah kind of crunchy, but you know, sweet and gooey on the inside Because he cared about everybody.

00:16:51.114 --> 00:16:51.434
He did.

00:16:51.434 --> 00:17:05.068
He did genuinely, and we're thinking about his family and all those around him and, of course, our friends over at Raw Voice and Blueberry, and certainly they have lost their leader and he's going to be.

00:17:05.068 --> 00:17:06.694
He'll be a tough, like always.

00:17:06.694 --> 00:17:10.832
Everybody's tough to replace, but he was such a giant.

00:17:11.724 --> 00:17:19.546
And on that, blueberry obviously will miss Todd, but it's not like they're going to fall away and crumble Like you know.

00:17:19.546 --> 00:17:21.372
They have people in place to.

00:17:21.372 --> 00:17:36.526
You know there are I'm not sure, because I think there were four or five people Like that wasn't VC funded, there were a bunch of people that threw the money in the pot and they just like, hey, we need a coder, we need a, we need an accountant, we need a lawyer, you know.

00:17:36.526 --> 00:17:41.237
And so they found a bunch of people you know, and so they'll, they'll be fine.

00:17:41.237 --> 00:17:44.209
Yeah, here we go.

00:17:44.910 --> 00:17:46.412
Randy Black says I'm not.

00:17:46.412 --> 00:17:47.433
Let me read this here.

00:17:47.433 --> 00:17:50.619
He says some feedback from the Lattice School of Podcasting.

00:17:50.619 --> 00:18:07.135
So I put out an episode that I had from Todd from 10 years ago when I was the head of the New Media Expo, and a lot of people have said that it's interesting because that was 10 years ago and a lot of what Todd said there is still absolutely true today.

00:18:07.135 --> 00:18:10.325
So Randy says you can make content that's remarkable.

00:18:10.325 --> 00:18:12.252
That isn't remarkable for a good reason.

00:18:12.252 --> 00:18:14.369
Bad can still be remarkable.

00:18:14.369 --> 00:18:15.433
Well, that is true.

00:18:15.984 --> 00:18:17.932
Well, it's beauty in the eye of the beholder, right?

00:18:17.932 --> 00:18:36.907
I mean, you can do something that commercially isn't a success, and if it hits one person I don't even know if it needs to hit one person Like, if you're proud of it, if you liked it, if you did it for you, it's good enough like I don't.

00:18:36.907 --> 00:18:38.530
You know we just, it just depends on what you're doing with it.

00:18:38.530 --> 00:18:39.913
So you know it's it it is.

00:18:39.913 --> 00:18:47.093
You know, the value of what we do is not always in a download number, or it's not always in it, even how well it's received.

00:18:47.093 --> 00:18:51.121
Yeah, well, for me to to that point.

00:18:51.883 --> 00:19:02.592
I do not get the musician lou reed, I just I I know I get it take a walk on the wild side, but other than that I'm like he's just a and this is I'm not.

00:19:02.592 --> 00:19:03.714
Is he foreigner?

00:19:03.714 --> 00:19:04.556
Is he the foreigner guy?

00:19:04.556 --> 00:19:06.205
No, no, that was lou graham.

00:19:06.205 --> 00:19:16.537
Lou reed was take a walk on the Side and if you watch a documentary on him, he was in the Velvet Underground and unfortunately it was just a junkie with a microphone, in a nutshell.

00:19:16.537 --> 00:19:25.845
But at the time it was really new because, hey, we haven't let a junkie on the microphone yet and so, yeah, so that's always kind of, but yeah.

00:19:25.845 --> 00:19:26.164
So.

00:19:26.164 --> 00:19:27.685
Todd Cochran RIP.

00:19:27.685 --> 00:19:38.409
It's going to be very weird to go to PodFest for me and A not have Todd in the booth and B not have Neil close Saturday night as a DJ.

00:19:38.409 --> 00:19:43.851
It's just going to be, you know, doesn't mean it's horrible, just it's the new normal and it is what it is.

00:19:44.991 --> 00:19:47.231
Well, hey, listen, we've been doing this long enough.

00:19:47.231 --> 00:19:49.113
We're not getting any younger, right?

00:19:49.113 --> 00:19:53.193
I mean, you and I are not getting any younger and these things are coming.

00:19:53.193 --> 00:19:55.994
It is a, you know, it's a.

00:19:55.994 --> 00:20:00.717
We need to continue to encourage the next generation in this space.

00:20:00.717 --> 00:20:13.340
Right, I don't I don't know if I see that enough, like I don't know if I see and listen there's plenty of younger younger than me podcasters that are out there, so I'm not too worried about it.

00:20:13.340 --> 00:20:21.463
But you know, eventually, you know we circle of life out of this place and folks get to come in behind.

00:20:21.463 --> 00:20:31.394
You know it will give some opportunities for some folks to step in and step up and fill that gap.

00:20:31.394 --> 00:20:31.872
Right, that's always what always happens.

00:20:31.872 --> 00:20:47.836
It's like you know, in the, when you're at the beach and you dig a hole and the water comes in and it fills it back in right, and so there will be there, there's, opportunities for people now to fill that gap that that todd has has left that's there we've got some opportunities right, and so we'll mourn.

00:20:47.955 --> 00:21:11.046
We'll mourn the loss and uh, and be sad for his passing and be sad for his family, yeah, um, and then we'll continue going on and just continue to try to to honor his legacy in the podcasting space and for the things that that he wanted to see, that it'd be great to see value for value take off at some point, yeah, or podcasting 2.0 take off.

00:21:11.046 --> 00:21:15.596
Listen, there's and there's, there's still folks who will carry that, will carry that on.

00:21:15.656 --> 00:21:16.968
So well, and apple.

00:21:16.968 --> 00:21:23.285
It's not implemented yet, but apple has agreed to start using podcasting 2.0 chapters.

00:21:23.285 --> 00:21:32.911
So which daniel just put out a new tool for at podchapterscom I think I believe that's where that's at.

00:21:32.911 --> 00:21:40.871
So if you're using somebody like I don't know Libsyn, that doesn't do chapters, yeah, podchapterscom is a new thing.

00:21:40.871 --> 00:21:55.990
That what's cool about it is it does the 2.0 chapters, but it also embeds like the old school way of doing chapters was to put it in the MP3 file, and it does that too.

00:21:55.990 --> 00:21:57.791
So you're covered in both ways.

00:21:57.791 --> 00:22:03.825
So, yeah, so that's, the 2.0 thing is slowly being adopted.

00:22:03.825 --> 00:22:12.145
So that's probably partly due to Todd and Jason over the whole that little board thingy that they put together.

00:22:12.145 --> 00:22:17.359
I want to say it's the podcasting standards project.

00:22:18.162 --> 00:22:19.546
Jody said what happened to Neil.

00:22:19.546 --> 00:22:22.832
Neil unfollowed, or both.

00:22:22.832 --> 00:22:28.651
Todd and Neil just had massive heart attacks, just like boom, and Neil was 59 and Todd was 61.

00:22:28.651 --> 00:22:32.218
And as someone who is 6.0, that scares the.

00:22:32.218 --> 00:22:34.814
That makes me wet my pants, just just a little bit.

00:22:34.814 --> 00:22:39.147
So, and again, that's why I've been walking around the neighborhood a lot this week.

00:22:39.147 --> 00:22:41.814
So it'll be interesting to see where.

00:22:41.814 --> 00:22:46.291
Oh, jody says I've been using testing Daniel's new offering and it's great.

00:22:46.291 --> 00:22:51.365
Yeah, I, I it does a thing where it will, according to Dan cause.

00:22:51.365 --> 00:22:58.365
You know, buzzsprout does this, captivate does that, and Daniel is saying his AI and it looks really impressive.

00:22:58.365 --> 00:23:02.114
We'll go through and make maybe a little better chapters.

00:23:02.535 --> 00:23:10.878
Right now I've been using Buzzsprouts like I just turned on everything they have and they have they basically behind the scenes.

00:23:10.878 --> 00:23:13.230
They have Auphonic leveling it out.

00:23:13.230 --> 00:23:20.973
They call it magic mastering, but it's it's really just Auphonic, it's just built in and Auphonic has like an um remover.

00:23:20.973 --> 00:23:25.509
And so now Buzzsprout has an um remover and it does.

00:23:25.509 --> 00:23:28.401
It doesn't remove, like I usually go through descript.

00:23:29.002 --> 00:23:37.433
But now what I do is I basically, you know, take the file that we get done here I chop off because there's usually like a second and a half of me going.

00:23:37.433 --> 00:23:38.256
Is it recording?

00:23:38.256 --> 00:23:49.912
Yet At the beginning and then at the end, when the music fades out, I usually trim that down, re-export it and now I just upload it to Buzzsprout and go, turn everything on and it will spit out titles for me.

00:23:49.912 --> 00:24:13.710
It'll write show notes, which I usually use like a paragraph and a half from, and then I swap out the featured supporter of the month or the week and it just kind of does everything for me, and I've listened to the last couple episodes and, yeah, it's not as like I used to take out more than just ums, but the stuff that's in is, in my opinion, okay.

00:24:13.710 --> 00:24:20.412
There's nothing really too crazy, so it's fun how these new tools are getting better and better and you know, makes it easier and easier.

00:24:20.653 --> 00:24:24.465
We did have some questions from the chat room.

00:24:24.465 --> 00:24:29.750
So Stephanie says what are your thoughts on all the recent email services prices changing?

00:24:29.750 --> 00:24:31.531
Flowdesk is ending.

00:24:31.531 --> 00:24:32.071
Unlimited.

00:24:32.071 --> 00:24:33.712
Kit is raising prices.

00:24:33.712 --> 00:24:38.717
Yeah, if you're on a yearly plan, at first I was like, hey, it's going up $100.

00:24:38.717 --> 00:24:40.878
And then I was like, oh, it's $10 a month.

00:24:40.878 --> 00:24:43.401
Mailerlite is adjusting their plans.

00:24:43.401 --> 00:24:45.142
Lots of people spinning from it.

00:24:45.142 --> 00:24:48.326
Yeah, there are two ways to look at this.

00:24:48.326 --> 00:24:53.498
Number one is oh my gosh, I got to find something cheaper, so I get that.

00:24:53.498 --> 00:24:54.830
That's the knee-jerk reaction.

00:24:54.830 --> 00:25:00.557
Or you could go OK, I've got this tool that now needs to pay for itself.

00:25:01.684 --> 00:25:11.880
And an email list is something that, if you've got your own product or service, people are one click away from donating, from buying from whatever it is.

00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:17.176
You know, because that was my need, my whole thing was do I have a link set up for this?

00:25:17.176 --> 00:25:21.835
I found System, which is a free tool.

00:25:21.835 --> 00:25:27.151
Yes and yes, that is my affiliate link and it's a little bit like Go High Level.

00:25:27.151 --> 00:25:29.855
It's one of those we like.

00:25:29.855 --> 00:25:34.050
It almost does your laundry kind of thing and it does email.

00:25:34.050 --> 00:25:37.659
It does courses, it does their community actually looks okay.

00:25:37.659 --> 00:25:39.448
It does landing pages.

00:25:39.448 --> 00:25:44.386
It'll build a website for you, it slices it, dices it, even juliennes, and it's free.

00:25:44.507 --> 00:25:45.368
And I, I'm dying to get the video that.

00:25:45.368 --> 00:25:47.734
I had somebody like demo it for me for about 15 minutes and I said, hey, can I get a recording of that?

00:25:47.734 --> 00:25:48.718
And he said, yes, and I'm dying to get the video.

00:25:48.718 --> 00:25:53.031
I had somebody like demo it for me for about 15 minutes and I said, hey, can I get a recording of that?

00:25:53.031 --> 00:26:03.854
And he said yes, and I haven't got it yet because I wanted to share that with both the awesome supporters and the School of Podcasting, because the thing that doesn't make any sense is their free stuff.

00:26:03.913 --> 00:26:05.218
They don't take any fees.

00:26:05.218 --> 00:26:07.026
Now, I'm assuming they take the credit card fees, they're not going to eat those.

00:26:07.026 --> 00:26:10.988
But Now, I'm assuming they take the credit card fees, they're not going to eat those, but they don't take any additional money.

00:26:10.988 --> 00:26:19.353
And I'm like for the free version, because usually the free version, not only do they take fees, but they take a little more and they're like no, we never take fees.

00:26:19.353 --> 00:26:45.105
And I was like, unless you know, when you get up into the other tier, so, but it's kind of like we just mentioned with everything eventually is going to go up because every time and again I don't want to talk politics, but in my travels when you raise the minimum wage, everything gets more expensive.

00:26:45.105 --> 00:26:51.759
So the more money that we're making doesn't buy more, because now the guy at the grocery store makes more money and you know the guy at the McDonald's makes more money and you know it just kind of goes up.

00:26:51.759 --> 00:27:03.112
So so many of these companies never raise their prices and yet their employees, hopefully, are getting some sort of raise.

00:27:03.132 --> 00:27:05.678
Or if they do offer health benefits, health benefits are nuts.

00:27:05.678 --> 00:27:16.273
I mean, I know every year it's like we're doing all we can, but you know your monthly payment for your health benefits is going up, you know whatever.

00:27:16.273 --> 00:27:30.092
And when you multiply that by you know 10, 50, 100, 200 people, you know if you're in a company like Gallup, like Jim, it's a huge number of people and when you keep your prices the same, all you're doing is chewing into your profits.

00:27:30.092 --> 00:27:44.316
So it's the only thing that somebody made a point about Kit was Kit spent hundreds of thousands of dollars rebranding twice and I'm like yeah, you got a point, you know.

00:27:44.316 --> 00:27:48.307
But the other thing you have to think about is you're like OK, that's it.

00:27:48.307 --> 00:27:50.972
Like if I wanted to move from kit to system.

00:27:50.972 --> 00:27:55.880
I've got all my automated emails that I'd have to move.

00:27:55.880 --> 00:28:07.828
I've got all my tagging, all that automation stuff, and you have to ask yourself is the time I'm going to spend to learn the new system, to set back up all the automations?

00:28:07.828 --> 00:28:09.412
Is it all worth saving?

00:28:09.412 --> 00:28:19.628
You know four bucks a month or 10 bucks a month, and eventually you know if they keep raising it, it does, but you know things are going to go up.

00:28:19.628 --> 00:28:20.693
That's just the way it is.

00:28:20.693 --> 00:28:26.029
So, but it is funny because I'm right there with you, steph it's kind of like ooh, is there somebody cheaper?

00:28:26.029 --> 00:28:30.858
I'm like well, maybe I need to learn how to use my email If you go to let me get it here.

00:28:30.858 --> 00:28:34.151
I've been researching and I'm now part of one of her groups.

00:28:34.872 --> 00:28:51.853
Growthinreversecom is Chanel, and what Chanel does is I was listening to her story and she would spend like 30 hours a week writing a newsletter and I was like what?

00:28:51.853 --> 00:29:01.146
But you ended up with information that you couldn't get anyplace else and what she was doing is just there's not much on her website.

00:29:01.146 --> 00:29:02.753
It's just hey, sign up for my newsletter.

00:29:02.753 --> 00:29:10.877
So if you wonder, how do you grow a newsletter, well, you have a page where the only thing there is well, you're either going to join my newsletter or you're going to go away.

00:29:10.877 --> 00:29:16.478
But she studies people that are successful, hence growth in reverse.

00:29:16.478 --> 00:29:25.359
So she goes and finds somebody who's doing things successfully and then reverse engineers and goes wait, how did they get this to work?

00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:26.526
And so I've.

00:29:26.526 --> 00:29:32.318
Really, I met her at CE in cleveland and was like huh, that's kind of cool.

00:29:32.318 --> 00:29:40.169
So I don't know, jim, anything on your end going up any tools oh yeah, I have every listen everything especially on the enterprise side.

00:29:40.209 --> 00:29:41.673
Yeah, you had a stream yard.

00:29:41.673 --> 00:29:43.826
Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know for sure.

00:29:43.826 --> 00:29:46.511
Yeah it let's, we've got it.

00:29:46.511 --> 00:30:04.257
You know, like john jimango and chat was saying he he needs to probably put a spreadsheet together of everything that he's spending on podcasting During these times it's as we get close to the end of the year, it's not I was going to say probably a good idea, because that's the way I say it all the time no, it is a good idea to start getting you know.

00:30:04.537 --> 00:30:08.059
One, start figuring out where you're at from a taxes standpoint for next year.

00:30:08.059 --> 00:30:14.795
But two, what are those things that you're paying for and you, are you getting all the value that you should out of them?

00:30:14.795 --> 00:30:26.865
Because it's you know, sometimes we, we add, and we add, and we add, but and then we forget and you're like, oh man, I was paying for a subscription that I'm not really even using anymore.

00:30:26.865 --> 00:30:28.229
I, I pay for Google.

00:30:28.229 --> 00:30:29.994
I have a Google what do they call it?

00:30:29.994 --> 00:30:34.494
Workspace, whatever it is for some email and some other things that are in there.

00:30:34.494 --> 00:30:35.537
I don't know.

00:30:35.537 --> 00:30:47.907
I think I pay $12 a month per account and I have two accounts and you think it's $25 a month for email right Now they haven't raised their price yet, but it's coming.

00:30:48.788 --> 00:30:54.472
So if you think we are definitely not in an era of prices staying the same, friends, those days are over.

00:30:54.472 --> 00:31:05.819
Dave, you and I have lived through a, historically, you know, when we think about the economy over the last 30 years, I mean, prices just haven't changed that much.

00:31:05.819 --> 00:31:19.374
Of course there's always inflation, right, but they just haven't changed as much, even going through the Great Recession right of 2008, 2009.

00:31:19.374 --> 00:31:21.480
But definitely, the reality is you got to, you know, so you can't change it.

00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:22.301
It's going to happen.

00:31:22.362 --> 00:31:26.652
You got to shop around, but I think the first thing I would do is make a good inventory.

00:31:26.652 --> 00:31:28.134
What am I currently using?

00:31:28.134 --> 00:31:30.444
What's the value that I'm getting out of it?

00:31:30.444 --> 00:31:32.410
How do I measure that value?

00:31:32.410 --> 00:31:34.513
And then, is there an ROI on it?

00:31:34.513 --> 00:31:37.487
And you don't always have to have an ROI on something.

00:31:37.487 --> 00:31:41.895
Right, you can do something because you like it, that's okay.

00:31:41.895 --> 00:31:46.596
But it would be a good opportunity right now to kind of start that process.

00:31:46.596 --> 00:31:53.652
You could really get two things done at once and start getting ready for your taxes too, here at the end of the year.

00:31:53.652 --> 00:31:58.027
So it's never too early to start thinking about those things.

00:31:59.229 --> 00:32:00.652
Yeah I was trying to find.

00:32:00.652 --> 00:32:09.231
I'm in a tool I use and there's no way I can screen my screen share without either A showing how much I make a pod page or I'm like.

00:32:09.231 --> 00:32:09.853
So I can't do that.

00:32:09.853 --> 00:32:16.662
But I use a thing called Monarch money and what it does is you now they?

00:32:16.662 --> 00:32:30.877
They make you jump through 37 hoops, but they tie it to your bank and so every time something happens at your bank it goes into the software and what I love about it is it'll say, oh, this is from McDonald's.

00:32:30.877 --> 00:32:33.691
And I'll be like, oh, categorize that as fast food.

00:32:33.691 --> 00:32:36.397
And then it goes, hey, like, do you want me to do this?

00:32:36.397 --> 00:32:46.010
Every time it says McDonald's and I go, yes, so I rarely have to go in and categorize what things are, just because I buy the same stuff over and over.

00:32:46.010 --> 00:32:52.413
Hey, this thing from Walmart it knows Walmart is groceries, because that's pretty much what I buy at Walmart.

00:32:52.413 --> 00:32:58.775
And what's really interesting is at the end of the month you can make a budget and say it'll say, hey, this is how much money I make.

00:32:58.775 --> 00:33:03.250
And then here are my expenses and it goes hey, you got too much month.

00:33:03.250 --> 00:33:10.419
At the end of the money and you're like, oh, oops, hold on, maybe I don't, you know, and that's when you go in and go, wait, I'm not even watching Apple TV.

00:33:10.419 --> 00:33:12.682
Okay, let's, let's cancel that, let's cancel this.

00:33:12.682 --> 00:33:17.391
But it's an enlightening experience to kind of see at the end of the month.

00:33:17.471 --> 00:33:22.207
Wait, I spent $58 at McDonald's, like what is going on?

00:33:22.207 --> 00:33:30.039
Or for a while it was streaming Cause I had Hulu and Apple and Netflix and Peacock and I was like that's.

00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:33.271
When I was like, wait, I'm not watching half of these, like what is the whole point?

00:33:33.271 --> 00:33:35.928
Like I just canceled my Apple TV because it just dawned on me.

00:33:35.928 --> 00:33:40.007
I was like, oh, it's time to move on to Hulu because Murders in the Building is on.

00:33:40.007 --> 00:33:44.738
I'm like, ok, well, I'm adding one streaming service, it's time to kill another one.

00:33:44.738 --> 00:33:57.015
And it's what's always interesting is when you go to cancel, they're always like what if we gave you three months for sneeze and a whistle?

00:33:57.015 --> 00:33:57.517
And you're like wait, why?

00:33:57.517 --> 00:33:59.323
Why was I paying eight bucks a month when I could have gotten it for a song, you know?

00:33:59.343 --> 00:34:09.871
So, yeah, it's you know, yeah, I sometimes obsess about the nine, you know, the $9 plan when I have a $99 plan, that somewhere that I should really be more worried about, right.

00:34:09.871 --> 00:34:14.773
You know the and, yes, a lot of little things add up, right, but there are also some big.

00:34:14.773 --> 00:34:15.675
You know.

00:34:15.675 --> 00:34:20.835
There's some big things in our budgets that we should look at as well and be like okay, can I get a?

00:34:21.177 --> 00:34:22.766
you know your McDonald's example.

00:34:22.766 --> 00:34:24.048
You know it doesn't take.

00:34:24.048 --> 00:34:26.351
Well, okay, let me talk about you.

00:34:26.351 --> 00:34:27.132
Let me talk about me.

00:34:27.132 --> 00:34:29.597
We have a cafeteria at where I live.

00:34:29.597 --> 00:34:33.510
I can get breakfast and lunch there and it's super convenient.

00:34:33.510 --> 00:34:39.177
Just walk in and tell them what you want and they put it on a plate and it's delicious, right?

00:34:39.177 --> 00:34:42.168
Well, I mean that can be.

00:34:42.168 --> 00:34:51.786
You know you start spending and it's not like prices have gone down there either right through this process, so it could be a couple hundred bucks a month.

00:34:51.786 --> 00:34:55.355
And then I'm angry that the netflix thing went up by three dollars.

00:34:55.655 --> 00:35:00.713
You know you're like yeah, jim, you know there may be some areas in your own.

00:35:00.713 --> 00:35:05.532
You know, take the log out of your own eye first before you go after the speck in your brother's eye.

00:35:05.532 --> 00:35:21.117
So it is, it's you, it is it's you know it is, it's it I think it's that way in your budget is like hey, yes, there's little things and a lot of little things add up over time, but there may be some big opportunities for you there to make a change and they're worth looking at.

00:35:21.117 --> 00:35:23.989
Oftentimes they're sacred cows, though they are.

00:35:23.989 --> 00:35:30.780
You know you've, you've got oh, this is my thing, like I don't, don't mess with my thing, whatever that thing is Right.

00:35:31.646 --> 00:35:48.371
Or, especially in this era, in the podcasting era and I think Danny was talking about this that you, you, you start on something for free and you, you may not even be using it for the most part, but then the price goes up and you're like well, I don't, like, I don't want to not do it.

00:35:48.371 --> 00:35:54.099
I want to do it but I don't want to not do it because it's been around for so a stream yard was in this for me.

00:35:54.099 --> 00:35:59.373
I mean, I've been on the stream the ten dollar stream yard plan forever.

00:35:59.393 --> 00:36:12.244
And when they, it was like divorcing, like I had, I like stream yard Well, and I was like, oh, I don't know if I can use it for my, you know everything you know.

00:36:12.264 --> 00:36:13.507
Yeah, jim's, jim john says I'm it's an internal conflict.

00:36:13.507 --> 00:36:15.552
He goes stream yard, does everything I need, but it's 750 a year.

00:36:15.552 --> 00:36:22.215
I'm trying other streaming platforms but they're just not stream yard and that's when it works like.

00:36:22.215 --> 00:36:28.213
We use stream yard for years and never had a problem, never lost a recording, you know.

00:36:28.213 --> 00:36:30.643
And I tried riverside for the record a recording, you know, and I tried Riverside For the record.

00:36:30.643 --> 00:36:33.690
Riverside is, you know how we say it's the best thing ever.

00:36:33.690 --> 00:36:37.157
And then they change something and everybody hates it.

00:36:37.157 --> 00:36:41.155
And then they fix the bugs and then everybody loves it, except it doesn't do this one thing.

00:36:41.155 --> 00:36:45.454
We are definitely in a everybody hates it area with Riverside.

00:36:45.454 --> 00:36:48.766
I used it for the first time over the last couple of weeks.

00:36:48.766 --> 00:36:52.387
The very first time I used it, it kicked my guest out a minute and a half.

00:36:52.387 --> 00:36:59.570
In the second time I used it, I had a horrible echo and I'm like, okay, I'm just going to hang here until they fix the bugs.

00:36:59.570 --> 00:37:01.811
But yeah, danny makes a good point.

00:37:01.972 --> 00:37:04.592
The price increase at KIT is 35%.

00:37:04.592 --> 00:37:08.994
That's a big jump and it did make me.

00:37:08.994 --> 00:37:17.039
That's when I was like I found out about this system tool and the problem I think with system is it is a jack of all trades.

00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:34.945
And the thing I like about Kit and it's funny because I still call it ConvertKit and probably always will be is it does email, like that's what.

00:37:34.945 --> 00:37:36.110
Now they've added some things where you can do.

00:37:36.110 --> 00:37:38.476
You know you can receive money, you can sell products, so they're kind of getting into the jack of all trades.

00:37:38.476 --> 00:37:39.360
But I do like the fact that they do email.

00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:50.976
But I was looking at what I use it for and can I do that on system and I was like, hmm, because system's 17 bucks a month if you're paying for it for, I think, 3,000 subscribers or something like that.

00:37:50.976 --> 00:37:56.697
And I was like, hmm, and I did see that and I need to verify this.

00:37:56.697 --> 00:38:02.938
I think if you buy a year of any plan at System, they will move your stuff for you.

00:38:02.938 --> 00:38:08.349
And I was like, oh, now you've removed the time barrier, you remove the time barrier, so I just have to.

00:38:08.349 --> 00:38:16.918
It's just, it's one of those things where it always seems that there's always one thing better, no matter what you move to.

00:38:16.918 --> 00:38:19.862
You're like, oh, I should have that whole nine yards.

00:38:22.985 --> 00:38:24.347
Stephanie says can you add multiple accounts to Monarch?

00:38:24.347 --> 00:38:28.315
Yeah, I have, I don't know three checking accounts and a bunch of stuff there.

00:38:28.315 --> 00:38:31.166
So, and my PayPal, if you wanted to, you could tie it to PayPal.

00:38:31.166 --> 00:38:33.090
So it's pretty slick.

00:38:33.090 --> 00:38:36.056
I got that when I forget what I was using.

00:38:36.056 --> 00:38:43.657
I've used Dave Ramsey's money thing and it was not bad, except it would not stay connected to my bank.

00:38:43.657 --> 00:38:48.972
I was constantly just reconnecting, reconnecting, reconnecting.

00:38:48.972 --> 00:38:56.697
So you know, ralph says Intuit Simplify I've heard of that one as well, which is part of, you know, the whole QuickBooks family over there.

00:38:56.697 --> 00:39:00.512
Yeah, danny says I'll probably move off kit.

00:39:00.753 --> 00:39:02.416
They're pretty overrated, to be honest.

00:39:02.416 --> 00:39:04.947
Use them twice now and they haven't really added much.

00:39:04.947 --> 00:39:07.050
It's, yeah, it's one of those things.

00:39:07.050 --> 00:39:09.713
All I have it do in terms.

00:39:09.713 --> 00:39:10.896
I like the fact.

00:39:10.896 --> 00:39:20.554
Well, they make landing pages, which is fine, but you know I could make up my own landing page in WordPress if I wanted to.

00:39:20.554 --> 00:39:21.998
Or pod page.

00:39:22.965 --> 00:39:23.867
They do have a thing.

00:39:23.867 --> 00:39:28.478
When somebody signs up now for this, you know, let's like right now I have a thing.

00:39:28.478 --> 00:39:32.012
It's a content checklist, like hey, is your podcast growing?

00:39:32.012 --> 00:39:33.972
Here's a checklist you can go through.

00:39:33.972 --> 00:39:39.172
Make sure every episode has, you know, a couple of these in it and that got a few people signing up.

00:39:39.172 --> 00:39:48.356
And when you sign up for that it tags you as a potential podcaster and adds you to my welcome sequence where you get to learn about Dave Jackson and why you should buy his stuff.

00:39:49.344 --> 00:39:50.550
Okay, I don't know.

00:39:50.550 --> 00:39:56.538
Oh, and they do RSS to email, which is an interesting feature that I do not use.

00:39:56.538 --> 00:39:57.630
That's the other fun thing.

00:39:57.630 --> 00:39:59.148
Oh, but they have this feature.

00:39:59.148 --> 00:40:00.552
Oh, really, how's that working for you?

00:40:00.552 --> 00:40:01.213
I don't know.

00:40:01.213 --> 00:40:02.117
I haven't turned it on yet.

00:40:02.117 --> 00:40:04.813
A lot of times I'm very guilty of that.

00:40:04.813 --> 00:40:06.387
Oh, look at all the cool feature sets.

00:40:06.387 --> 00:40:09.635
Which one of those are you using that one?

00:40:09.635 --> 00:40:13.168
I did that a lot with guitar stuff.

00:40:13.168 --> 00:40:17.757
I bought an amp that can sound like anything and then I had three sounds.

00:40:17.757 --> 00:40:20.530
It was clean, dirty and really dirty.

00:40:20.530 --> 00:40:21.152
That was it.

00:40:21.152 --> 00:40:24.885
It's like I can get a million sounds out of this thing and I'm using three.

00:40:24.885 --> 00:40:28.451
Yeah, so it's kind of tricky with that.

00:40:28.451 --> 00:40:35.800
Danny says StreamYard wanted to move us to $500 year plan to enterprise at $20,000.

00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:40.157
Yeah, when you say enterprise, you better hold on to your wallet.

00:40:40.157 --> 00:40:42.512
Jim can probably attest to that more than I can.

00:40:42.512 --> 00:40:43.235
For sure.

00:40:43.364 --> 00:40:44.871
And I'm glad Danny said this.

00:40:44.871 --> 00:40:48.215
I always hear Danny talk about this platform and I always forget about it.

00:40:48.215 --> 00:40:50.311
He's using Boomcaster.

00:40:50.311 --> 00:40:55.157
He says it's an excellent platform and their streaming options really came on this year.

00:40:55.157 --> 00:41:00.695
So I trust Danny and so that's one I always want to try.

00:41:00.695 --> 00:41:03.512
See now Jody's having a great time with Riverside.

00:41:03.664 --> 00:41:08.516
I love Riverside, use it for all my interviews, but I also pay a producer to keep an eye on the tech.

00:41:08.516 --> 00:41:10.271
Yes, that's always fun.

00:41:10.271 --> 00:41:12.407
Yeah.

00:41:12.407 --> 00:41:15.012
And then John says Riverside looks amazing on paper.

00:41:15.012 --> 00:41:18.728
I want to use Riverside if it just did what it's supposed to do.

00:41:18.728 --> 00:41:21.541
And the guys at Buzzsprout brought this up.

00:41:21.541 --> 00:41:41.094
It is amazing that Riverside and Squadcast are two companies that, in theory, do one thing remote interviews and yet if you watch Reddit every three months, they suck at that one thing.

00:41:41.094 --> 00:41:42.369
You know what I mean.

00:41:42.369 --> 00:41:44.135
It's like can't you, you know?

00:41:44.135 --> 00:41:45.371
And why do they suck?

00:41:45.371 --> 00:41:53.306
Probably because they added this other new feature that isn't really exactly part of remote interviewing.

00:41:53.306 --> 00:41:58.436
It's editing or it's whatever, or they added a calendar tool or whatever.

00:41:58.436 --> 00:41:58.737
Not.

00:41:58.737 --> 00:42:06.871
Your core thing is recording that interview and they kind of you know, drop the ball on that because they listen to the feedback of their audience.

00:42:07.231 --> 00:42:08.856
You know that's the danger in.

00:42:08.856 --> 00:42:23.516
Yeah, you know somebody will contact them say you know, I love what you're doing from an edit, you know what we're doing from a recording standpoint, but could you make, could you add it so I don't have to go, you know so I don't have to go somewhere else for my editing.

00:42:23.516 --> 00:42:25.744
And then they're oh, oh yeah, this would be.

00:42:25.744 --> 00:42:26.887
I mean, it's competition, right.

00:42:26.887 --> 00:42:34.061
And then all of a sudden you have all this bolted on well, and I technology that doesn't work I still say god bless riverside.

00:42:34.081 --> 00:42:39.496
Because they have no idea what they're getting into when it comes to hosting, because I had somebody this week.

00:42:39.496 --> 00:42:52.789
They're like, hey, I want to embed my player from pod page into this other website and I'm like, well, number one, pod page is not a media host, we are a website.

00:42:52.789 --> 00:42:55.054
Well, that's our lane, we just integrate with everybody.

00:42:55.054 --> 00:42:58.994
I said you'd have to go to your media host and their media host was Riverside.

00:42:58.994 --> 00:43:06.351
I go, I don't know that Riverside gives you code for just a player that you can put on another website.

00:43:06.351 --> 00:43:16.875
I said so and, as somebody who worked at Libsyn for eight years, your people will find new and unique ways to break your media.

00:43:16.875 --> 00:43:18.277
So have fun with that.

00:43:18.277 --> 00:43:25.507
At Jive says you know, things are bad at StreamYard when their pricing page has everything except the prices.

00:43:25.507 --> 00:43:28.050
Yeah, that's never a good sign.

00:43:28.050 --> 00:43:29.873
Yeah, when you're like, oh, how much is it?

00:43:29.873 --> 00:43:33.958
And you're like, oh, click here to schedule a call, like, oh, that means expensive.

00:43:33.958 --> 00:43:35.786
Yeah, I always love that.

00:43:36.327 --> 00:43:49.853
There was a question in here from Ralph yes, I am finally shredding the script and prompter and I wanted to know some methods others use to create an episode idea and some techniques others are using to develop their content.

00:43:49.853 --> 00:43:51.846
Well, you see me do it every Saturday.

00:43:51.846 --> 00:43:53.048
I go to Reddit.

00:43:53.048 --> 00:44:05.208
So I don't know if there's a financial you know Reddit, I'm assuming there is See what your audience is struggling with and then give them the answer to what they're struggling with.

00:44:05.708 --> 00:44:10.612
So for me, the school of podcasting I'm always looking at a couple, couple different things.

00:44:10.612 --> 00:44:17.565
Number one always somebody who's somehow found a way to get their show to grow, whether that's through content.

00:44:17.565 --> 00:44:30.686
I have an interview right now I did with somebody who is kind of interesting because she's kind of a social person, like social media, but yet was very transparent and just saying oh yeah, this didn't work, I tried this and this didn't work, I tried this and this didn't work.

00:44:30.686 --> 00:44:46.318
And that's kind of, I think, going to be the theme of that interview is, here's somebody who wasn't afraid to fail Because you got to try stuff, because what works for Ralph may not work for Jim, what works for Dave may not work for Ed Sullivan, who just had a birthday, by the way.

00:44:46.318 --> 00:44:47.086
Happy birthday, ed.

00:44:47.086 --> 00:44:52.878
So it's always kind of fun because we're looking for that one-size-fits-all thing.

00:44:52.878 --> 00:44:57.512
And so, jim, how do you come up with ideas for Home Gadget Geeks?

00:44:57.925 --> 00:44:59.833
Well, let me just say I'm on Restream.

00:44:59.833 --> 00:45:03.827
There's another that I moved from StreamYard For Home Gadget Geeks.

00:45:03.827 --> 00:45:05.414
I moved from StreamYard to Restream.

00:45:05.414 --> 00:45:06.905
We stayed for work.

00:45:06.905 --> 00:45:09.670
They threw us a bone and gave us a pretty good deal.

00:45:09.670 --> 00:45:12.635
Now that may change.

00:45:12.635 --> 00:45:16.099
It's up for renewal here towards the end of the year, so that may change.

00:45:16.099 --> 00:45:16.860
We'll figure that out.

00:45:16.860 --> 00:45:18.570
But Restream has been good.

00:45:18.750 --> 00:45:20.193
I want to go back to StreamYard.

00:45:20.193 --> 00:45:26.889
To be honest, like I liked StreamYard, it worked perfect for me and I never had problems Not never, but I mean I rarely had problems with it.

00:45:26.889 --> 00:45:29.913
I never had problems not never, but I mean I rarely had problems with it.

00:45:29.913 --> 00:45:33.615
I certainly not the problems that I see all the time on, you know, on their support sites.

00:45:33.615 --> 00:45:38.239
But so you know, home Gadget Geeks is an interview show, so you know.

00:45:38.239 --> 00:45:40.461
But it's a gadget interview show.

00:45:40.461 --> 00:45:45.925
So I try to, I try to listen to what are the popular gadgets?

00:45:45.925 --> 00:45:48.387
You know, 15 years ago when we started the show folks wanted to hear about.

00:45:48.387 --> 00:45:54.914
You know windows and phones and and you know computers and some of those kinds of things.

00:45:54.914 --> 00:45:57.757
And today it's not those things Like.

00:45:57.757 --> 00:46:03.782
We have robot lawnmowers and vacuum cleaners and all kinds of gadgetry, of home automation.

00:46:03.782 --> 00:46:14.512
So I think you just got to keep your ear to the ground, so to speak, and figure out, like, okay, what, what, where are the topics?

00:46:14.512 --> 00:46:33.797
And then I think you being genuinely interested and this is, you know, just a general statement of you being generally genuinely interested enough that you cover the topics you're interested in it makes a difference when I'm covering something that I don't necessarily am not interested in, the interviews are not as good as they are when I'm genuinely interested in it.

00:46:33.797 --> 00:46:48.878
So, as far as format goes on the show, I think you've got to be, you've got to figure out what's the best format for you, right, because you're you will create a format that will draw listeners.

00:46:48.878 --> 00:46:52.027
If it's not you, then it's a whole bunch of work.

00:46:52.568 --> 00:46:56.773
You know, I always said, you know, I could fake it for about, oh, a month or two on.

00:46:56.773 --> 00:47:03.039
You know of being somebody I'm not, and then eventually the truth would come out I'm just not that good at faking it Like.

00:47:03.039 --> 00:47:05.021
It's a lot easier if you're just you.

00:47:05.021 --> 00:47:43.630
No-transcript, I'm not his core, I'm not his core audience.

00:47:43.630 --> 00:47:49.393
There's going to be people who aren't going to listen to you, right, for, for whatever reason, it's just not going to happen.

00:47:49.393 --> 00:47:52.407
But Howard is Howard, he doesn't.

00:47:52.407 --> 00:47:57.266
That's you're getting exactly who Howard Stern is when with.

00:47:57.266 --> 00:47:59.273
With Brian Seacrest, right?

00:47:59.273 --> 00:48:01.913
I mean, there's incredible talent there, but you never know.

00:48:01.913 --> 00:48:05.293
Is that really, ryan, like you know, you don't?

00:48:05.293 --> 00:48:06.440
You just kind of don't know.

00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:07.789
So it is.

00:48:07.789 --> 00:48:13.164
Be yourself right, don't?

00:48:13.164 --> 00:48:13.786
You just kind of don't know?

00:48:13.786 --> 00:48:13.967
So it is.

00:48:13.967 --> 00:48:14.027
It.

00:48:14.027 --> 00:48:14.407
Be yourself right.

00:48:14.407 --> 00:48:17.436
Create a, create a show structure that works great for you and then build things around that.

00:48:17.436 --> 00:48:20.646
That would be my advice we have some good questions.

00:48:20.706 --> 00:48:22.150
Ralph was saying to this he goes.

00:48:22.150 --> 00:48:24.695
No, I have the topic idea.

00:48:24.695 --> 00:48:29.552
I'm talking about the actual crafting part so opening, opening hook.

00:48:30.235 --> 00:48:33.288
Did you know that such and such wait till you hear the blah, blah, blah?

00:48:33.288 --> 00:48:34.911
Welcome to the show.

00:48:34.911 --> 00:48:43.856
This is where I help your audience, whoever that is, do whatever it is they're trying to do so they can benefit, however they benefit.

00:48:43.856 --> 00:48:44.998
I'm Ralph.

00:48:44.998 --> 00:48:48.833
Today we're talking about this, which is what you just hooked about.

00:48:48.833 --> 00:49:16.195
Get to the topic as quickly as possible, explain what to do, how to do, what to do something that's going to deliver value, and at the end of that segment, either A you're ending the show, because it's one topic per show, or you use your ending voice which kind of sounds like this right Transition music onto the next topic, and then you do the next topic with a little hook.

00:49:16.195 --> 00:49:17.396
Did you know that?

00:49:17.396 --> 00:49:22.157
You know, swallowing saliva over long periods of time will cause, you know, brain cancer?

00:49:22.157 --> 00:49:25.552
Whatever it is to get people to go wait what you know?

00:49:25.552 --> 00:49:30.976
And then you do your thing, and then you do your ending, and then at the end, somewhere in there, you could do a call to action.

00:49:30.976 --> 00:49:34.550
You don't have to do them at the end Like, hey, buy my free book.

00:49:34.550 --> 00:49:36.574
It's good, honest, I will ship it to you.

00:49:36.574 --> 00:49:37.838
Buy my free book.

00:49:37.838 --> 00:49:39.751
And, by the way, where can I find my free book?

00:49:39.751 --> 00:49:40.193
Here it is.

00:49:40.193 --> 00:49:51.731
Here's the website, the website, the website, the website, your call to action.

00:49:51.731 --> 00:49:54.903
I know you just did it three minutes ago, but that last call to action and the last thing they should hear is probably your website and that's it.

00:49:54.903 --> 00:49:56.068
You know, it's the whole.

00:49:56.068 --> 00:49:58.681
It's the reason people say this is because it's true.

00:49:58.681 --> 00:50:03.905
Tell them what you're going to tell them, although now I would change that into hook them into what you're going to tell them.

00:50:03.905 --> 00:50:06.851
Then tell them and then tell them what you told them.

00:50:06.911 --> 00:50:10.686
Sometimes you have to remind people of the value they just got.

00:50:10.686 --> 00:50:15.016
Don't go crazy on that, because I've heard people do the show twice.

00:50:15.016 --> 00:50:20.255
They're like, hey, and today I don't know if you knew this, but one plus one equals two.

00:50:20.255 --> 00:50:22.047
And then they're like what did we learn today?

00:50:22.047 --> 00:50:28.353
We learned that one plus one equals two, because if you take one and you add it to another one, it gets two.

00:50:28.353 --> 00:50:33.969
So two is what happens when you add one and you're like, okay, I got it the first time.

00:50:33.969 --> 00:50:43.097
So the little thing at the end where you're just reminding what's that main takeaway you want them to get, and then just do it and then listen to it and go.

00:50:43.324 --> 00:50:44.367
Does that deliver value?

00:50:44.367 --> 00:50:45.951
Did I repeat myself?

00:50:45.951 --> 00:50:46.452
Did I?

00:50:46.452 --> 00:50:48.675
Is my volume good?

00:50:48.675 --> 00:50:49.998
Is you know what?

00:50:49.998 --> 00:50:51.985
Repeat myself, did I?

00:50:51.985 --> 00:50:52.347
Is my volume good?

00:50:52.347 --> 00:50:52.706
Is you know what?

00:50:52.706 --> 00:50:53.068
And then you know.

00:50:53.068 --> 00:50:54.731
And then now that is a format Somebody had asked about.

00:50:54.731 --> 00:50:57.838
How do I break away from formats?

00:50:57.838 --> 00:51:03.268
Is podcast content stuck on, zoomcast style interviews and solo shows?

00:51:03.268 --> 00:51:05.333
What are the kind?

00:51:05.333 --> 00:51:09.847
It's either going to be one person or multiple, so I, I don't know.

00:51:09.847 --> 00:51:12.054
I'm going to do a podcast with no host.

00:51:12.054 --> 00:51:13.577
It'll be very quiet.

00:51:13.577 --> 00:51:16.635
It'll be up there with the sleep cast where you just like.

00:51:16.635 --> 00:51:18.181
Welcome to the power nap.

00:51:18.181 --> 00:51:20.409
All right, go to sleep, I'll see you in 20 minutes.

00:51:20.690 --> 00:51:23.336
You know there's, there's creative content out there.

00:51:23.336 --> 00:51:27.476
I mean, yeah, the, the, uh, the crime that's true crime mystery.

00:51:27.476 --> 00:51:27.936
That's true.

00:51:27.936 --> 00:51:28.538
Yeah, that's true, mr.

00:51:28.538 --> 00:51:32.836
Crime Religion you know there are all those kinds.

00:51:32.836 --> 00:51:34.039
Ralph says that in chat.

00:51:34.039 --> 00:51:39.121
He says, yeah, he's finding, I'm finding that I'm a reactor personality, not a generator.

00:51:39.121 --> 00:51:40.936
So that makes it really hard to do a solo show.

00:51:40.936 --> 00:51:41.818
No, it isn't.

00:51:41.818 --> 00:51:43.393
So I decided to add in listener questions.

00:51:43.795 --> 00:51:45.521
Let me say this there you go, add a question.

00:51:59.516 --> 00:51:59.635
Bingo.

00:51:59.635 --> 00:52:05.322
Well, because Ralph's really good at answering questions and then just answer the question like the person is sitting across the desk, reactionary in some regards.

00:52:05.322 --> 00:52:09.686
I don't, I haven't, I didn't do a solo show for 12 years like I didn't.

00:52:09.686 --> 00:52:19.034
I still don't, I don't, I don't like solo shows, I don't want to do them, I don't have they, they they feel yucky to me, so to speak.

00:52:19.094 --> 00:52:20.038
I get on my now.

00:52:20.038 --> 00:52:21.842
I've done a few in the last couple years.

00:52:21.842 --> 00:52:37.519
I've done a few, but I don't, that's not my gig.

00:52:37.519 --> 00:52:38.059
Yeah, it's not.

00:52:38.059 --> 00:52:41.101
So don't, don't, don't do that.

00:52:41.101 --> 00:52:42.963
Yeah, don't, don't.

00:52:42.963 --> 00:52:44.083
That's not your jam.

00:52:44.083 --> 00:52:45.304
Reactionary on it.

00:52:45.304 --> 00:52:49.588
And figure out some, you know, figure out some ways to make it work.

00:52:49.588 --> 00:52:53.677
By the way, the way you do it best may not be super popular, right?

00:52:53.677 --> 00:52:56.532
I mean, you get, you get down to that, and it's a good point.

00:52:56.532 --> 00:53:00.942
This is where our friends, you know our friends, in the industry, so to speak.

00:53:00.942 --> 00:53:02.532
I'll put air quotes on that.

00:53:02.532 --> 00:53:15.222
In the industry, so to speak, when you have a producer and an editor and a director, they just tell you what to do and then you do it, and you don't get a lot of creativity unless you're really famous, right?

00:53:15.222 --> 00:53:20.597
So, yeah, it's a dilemma, but find that thing that works best for you.

00:53:21.190 --> 00:53:24.541
Yeah, todd the Gator says open with facts and figures, that's always a good one.

00:53:24.541 --> 00:53:30.300
Did you know that 47% of children in Akron, ohio, didn't go to kindergarten?

00:53:30.300 --> 00:53:34.715
It's true, so that's always a fun way to start.

00:53:35.096 --> 00:53:39.512
You know that Nebraska beat Akron last week in football 68 to nothing.

00:53:42.115 --> 00:53:43.539
Wow, I knew it was going to be bad.

00:53:43.539 --> 00:53:44.721
I'm sorry, dave.

00:53:45.282 --> 00:53:47.324
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

00:53:48.411 --> 00:53:50.501
Because Ralph is a member of the School of Podcasting.

00:53:50.501 --> 00:53:53.315
Go into Docs on the left-hand side, go into the library.

00:53:53.315 --> 00:53:56.579
There's a whole thing there on hooks that you can check out.

00:53:56.579 --> 00:54:00.059
Anthony says Anthony Arno, thanks for being here.

00:54:00.059 --> 00:54:12.217
Buddy, when adding background music over a guest talking, so NPR style, what would be a good DB level on audacity, so that the music is not overshadowing the guest, I usually don't look at the level.

00:54:12.217 --> 00:54:14.344
I mix with my ears.

00:54:14.344 --> 00:54:15.148
I know it sounds.

00:54:15.148 --> 00:54:17.976
I'm not being snarky, but that's what I do, I basically.

00:54:17.976 --> 00:54:24.114
And then I will listen through my headphones and then I'll take them off and listen through my speakers and it's.

00:54:24.275 --> 00:54:24.795
It's weird.

00:54:24.795 --> 00:54:28.400
Especially here's the trap that people fall into.

00:54:28.400 --> 00:54:38.581
They're on, you know, tune Real or whatever, and they find the perfect song, this is the best song, and they love the song too much that it's too loud because they love the song.

00:54:38.581 --> 00:54:43.340
They're like I want to make sure the song and it's like, no, it's just the background music is there too.

00:54:43.340 --> 00:54:48.461
I want to say, see, I just know it's like this much.

00:54:48.461 --> 00:54:50.831
I don't know what that level is Like.

00:54:50.831 --> 00:54:55.536
If full level is this, it's like half volume, and then I usually just vote with my ears.

00:54:55.536 --> 00:54:59.998
I don't know, jim, do you probably do anything with your business shows with?

00:54:59.998 --> 00:55:01.059
You know mood music?

00:55:01.059 --> 00:55:05.559
No, yeah, if any editors are listening right now, not in the shows that I do.

00:55:06.210 --> 00:55:08.452
We have added the Gallup.

00:55:08.452 --> 00:55:19.719
Gallup podcast is kind of news, you know, it's like NPR or a wall street journal style, and so they'll put little musical interludes in between segments just to kind of break them up.

00:55:19.719 --> 00:55:21.519
But no, I, I, yeah, I've never, I've never thought I needed music.

00:55:21.519 --> 00:55:25.842
I mean, that's not true, cause home gadget geeks has a little bit of a opening riff and I then I use a closing, I have a closing piece as well.

00:55:25.842 --> 00:55:33.148
So that's not true, because Home Gadget Geeks has a little bit of a opening riff and then I use a closing, I have a closing piece as well.

00:55:33.148 --> 00:55:33.969
So maybe that's not true.

00:55:35.010 --> 00:55:39.139
Yeah, ralph says I'd love to do a daily show.

00:55:39.139 --> 00:55:40.802
Another person is really tough.

00:55:40.802 --> 00:55:42.572
He might have his admin sit in.

00:55:42.572 --> 00:55:44.074
This week I listened to a show.

00:55:44.074 --> 00:56:01.431
I don't remember what it's called, I just know the guy introduces himself as Meredith's husband and Meredith is on the show and this guy really knows SEO and the bad news is I just want him to.

00:56:01.431 --> 00:56:21.487
Yeah, here's the show is called Meredith husband SEO for people who don't like SEO and the bad news is Meredith is on the show and it's his wife and this is a typical sentence and I will be both.

00:56:21.487 --> 00:56:26.835
I'll be playing both the part of Dave and Meredith.

00:56:26.855 --> 00:56:38.251
So if I'm talking to Jim and I go, you know Todd Cochran, yes, was a really great guy, yes, and he's been podcasting for a long time, right, like she.

00:56:38.251 --> 00:56:43.675
Every time the guy takes a breath, she pops in and I'm this morning.

00:56:43.675 --> 00:56:48.661
I'm like I think I'm going to send him a note because I really like his show and he really knows what he's talking about.

00:56:48.661 --> 00:56:52.090
I think I'm going to send him a note because I really like his show and he really knows what he's talking about.

00:56:52.090 --> 00:56:55.735
But and I'm not saying get Meredith off the show, but just my note would be.

00:56:55.855 --> 00:57:02.282
Please let Meredith husband whatever his actual name is complete his thought and then comment on it.

00:57:02.282 --> 00:57:12.614
But she's literally like, every four words, yes, exactly Right, oh, and I'm like and it's one of those things that once you notice it it drives me nuts.

00:57:12.614 --> 00:57:25.597
And I bet the reason she's there is because he doesn't want to talk to nobody in the room and I'm like that's great, but she's, she's driving me nuts with the ooh, uh-huh, yeah, right, exactly Right, right.

00:57:25.597 --> 00:57:27.380
Is her her favorite one, right?

00:57:27.380 --> 00:57:34.871
And I'm like you don't need to confirm that what he said was right, because if we thought he was wrong we wouldn't be listening to the show it's true.

00:57:34.891 --> 00:57:36.737
But that works in a conversation, right, we do.

00:57:36.737 --> 00:57:44.250
We often do that when we're talking to each other, right, and so you just don't realize how much of that actually happens when you're talking to someone.

00:57:44.250 --> 00:57:54.056
So it makes sense that for someone who's thinking about, I mean, I really over the years I've had to stop doing that, and you'll see me in this show.

00:57:54.056 --> 00:58:01.740
You're talking, I sit back, right, I get away from the microphone, push it aside, try not to be that.

00:58:01.740 --> 00:58:04.601
You'll see me respond and react and shake my head.

00:58:04.601 --> 00:58:13.367
If you're watching the video can't see that on audio, obviously, but it does take some work to to not be conversational.

00:58:13.507 --> 00:58:21.436
Now, if you want to be conversational, lots of you know I hear this in group podcasts all the time where they're really, they're in a.

00:58:21.436 --> 00:58:33.945
This is it's particularly bad, dave, when they're in a room together, because the vibe feels like, yeah, we're in this room, we're just talking, yeah, yeah, right, yeah, and we do that again.

00:58:33.945 --> 00:58:35.170
We do that when we're in person.

00:58:35.170 --> 00:58:36.612
I don't know if we do that as much.

00:58:36.612 --> 00:58:45.539
It's easy for me to take a step back, push the mic away, allow you to have the time to speak and the things to say.

00:58:45.539 --> 00:58:50.996
So I think maybe the dynamic is what's causing that of them probably being in the same room.

00:58:50.996 --> 00:58:56.054
I would imagine when they, when they do that podcast, you picture them looking at each other and they're having.

00:58:56.054 --> 00:59:01.603
I think I've done some interviews that way and yeah, they kind of take on that feel because that's what we do.

00:59:01.603 --> 00:59:03.871
Those are normal conversations when we're in person.

00:59:04.311 --> 00:59:06.217
Yeah, yeah At Jive says.

00:59:06.217 --> 00:59:09.403
I recall the podcast of two Swedes reading the Ikea catalog.

00:59:09.403 --> 00:59:13.594
I'm looking for stuff like that, inspired by that Devo documentary.

00:59:13.594 --> 00:59:15.219
Yay, devo, where are they from?

00:59:15.219 --> 00:59:18.556
That's right, a K R.

00:59:18.556 --> 00:59:20.099
Oh, I don't know how to do that.

00:59:20.099 --> 00:59:21.954
Oh, and where are the weirdos?

00:59:21.974 --> 00:59:22.938
Don't hurt yourself.

00:59:22.938 --> 00:59:23.920
Yeah, exactly.

00:59:34.949 --> 00:59:35.471
Dave threw out his back.

00:59:35.471 --> 00:59:36.072
What was he doing?

00:59:36.072 --> 00:59:36.835
He was trying to do an end.

00:59:36.835 --> 00:59:37.235
It didn't work.

00:59:37.235 --> 00:59:38.177
Feels like everything is plateaued.

00:59:38.177 --> 00:59:40.784
I I do agree that it seems like I haven't heard a show where I'm like, oh that's, that's way different.

00:59:40.784 --> 00:59:42.530
It's either, like you said, solo interview NPR style.

00:59:42.530 --> 00:59:43.972
A lot of weirdos out there.

00:59:43.972 --> 00:59:50.893
I mean, oh, there's definitely weirdos to use that term right in a loving kind yeah, yeah, no, I mean they're still out there you In a loving kinding yeah, yeah, no, I mean, they're still out there.

00:59:50.914 --> 00:59:51.655
You just got to.

00:59:51.655 --> 00:59:53.137
They're obscure, you got to track them down.

00:59:53.137 --> 00:59:58.943
They're not going to be as popular and maybe they will be, but you know, you got to use some of those discovery tools.

00:59:58.943 --> 01:00:00.525
Dig in on that.

01:00:00.525 --> 01:00:12.996
This would probably be a good place for AI to be honest with you.

01:00:12.996 --> 01:00:15.344
Have a conversation with one of the AI assistants, so to speak, about tracking down some podcasts like that.

01:00:15.364 --> 01:00:16.447
That might I thought about doing discovery that way.

01:00:16.447 --> 01:00:16.969
That might work for you.

01:00:16.969 --> 01:00:22.670
Yeah, Ralph, says I think Rush Limbaugh he used to speak to some guy named Bo Snirdley and it just worked.

01:00:23.190 --> 01:00:27.579
Oh, yeah, yeah, I find myself getting into performance voice and that's what I'm trying to shed.

01:00:27.579 --> 01:00:36.143
Well, there's performance voice, like I talk a little less energy when I'm actually off a mic.

01:00:36.143 --> 01:00:51.943
But the problem is is, if you're like, I remember once I was working with a client and when he went into mic mode he was way up here Like he was holy cow, like wow, he was ob, obnoxious, sports guy kind of guy and he wasn't doing sports.

01:00:51.943 --> 01:00:54.677
He just I'm like, all right, well, let's give it a shot.

01:00:54.677 --> 01:00:57.315
He's like okay, yeah, I'll, I'll give that a shot.

01:00:57.315 --> 01:00:59.141
All right, everybody, what's going on?

01:00:59.141 --> 01:01:02.581
I was like literally like Whoa, where's that coming from?

01:01:03.110 --> 01:01:19.784
And the problem is, if you make everything up here like this is the point I'm trying to make, because it's important and doggone it, you need to understand this point and you never bring it back down, then if everything is accented, nothing is accented.

01:01:19.784 --> 01:01:20.648
If everything is slow, then nothing is fast.

01:01:20.648 --> 01:01:25.038
So and the other problem you run into that is you know who else talks like this.

01:01:25.038 --> 01:01:31.112
Brothers and sisters, I'm here and all of a sudden you're, you're not talking to me, You're talking at me.

01:01:31.112 --> 01:01:39.518
And unless you want to be a preacher, you know and not not all preachers talk like this but a lot of them do when they're trying to make a point.

01:01:39.518 --> 01:01:44.815
And then the whole sermon, brothers and sisters, is a point and I'm trying to get you to wake up.

01:01:44.815 --> 01:01:46.619
You in the third row, dang it.

01:01:46.619 --> 01:01:50.164
I'm trying to make them you know and you're like, all right, what's, what's going on?

01:01:50.164 --> 01:01:53.197
You gotta you occasionally have to bring it down and it's just takes.

01:01:53.197 --> 01:02:02.338
So just, you know what I do on that is, there are times when I'll have bullet points and I will accent two words like, just to like.

01:02:02.338 --> 01:02:08.677
This is where I really want to make a point, like make a point for one word and go that route.

01:02:08.677 --> 01:02:12.554
But just yeah, john Germango shut up.

01:02:12.554 --> 01:02:14.277
Yes, we have a lot.

01:02:14.277 --> 01:02:19.577
Back to the volume thing, randy Black, I always duck the audio down about minus nine or minus 12.

01:02:19.577 --> 01:02:21.121
Yep, that's about sounds, about right.

01:02:21.670 --> 01:02:25.659
Jody Krangle from the Audio Branding Podcast says I use the music.

01:02:25.659 --> 01:02:27.003
My voice is now sore.

01:02:27.003 --> 01:02:28.458
Maybe I shouldn't scream for a minute straight.

01:02:28.458 --> 01:02:28.780
I use the music.

01:02:28.780 --> 01:02:29.204
My voice is now sore.

01:02:29.204 --> 01:02:30.150
Maybe I shouldn't scream for a minute straight.

01:02:30.150 --> 01:02:37.737
I use the music created for me by my podcast, intro and outro, which is a full song, segmented, you know, behind my intro.

01:02:37.737 --> 01:02:41.893
Yeah, I mean, it really does come down to somewhere in here.

01:02:41.893 --> 01:02:44.398
I think I have, yes.

01:02:44.398 --> 01:02:48.711
So here is some music, you know, and it's just a matter of like.

01:02:48.711 --> 01:02:49.952
Now I hear it in my headphones.

01:02:49.952 --> 01:02:54.065
It's behind the scenes, but if I keep turning it up we're close.

01:02:54.126 --> 01:02:59.016
Now the other problem you have is you have musicians that are going.

01:02:59.016 --> 01:03:00.900
Is that A minor and a C?

01:03:00.900 --> 01:03:04.855
And if I keep turning it up, you know, now we really hear the music.

01:03:04.855 --> 01:03:11.059
But also the actual guitars and the little keyboard in my left headphone is.

01:03:11.059 --> 01:03:22.516
It also depends on the music, because if the music is in the, if we get super nerdy, like, let's say, your voice is, you know from this, like tone?

01:03:22.516 --> 01:03:26.244
I guess not tone isn't right, but the actual note right.

01:03:26.244 --> 01:03:35.000
If I talk normally here and let's say this is an F sharp, my voice is right now F sharpish and I bring in music that's also F sharpie.

01:03:35.000 --> 01:03:37.413
We're fighting for the same signal.

01:03:37.413 --> 01:03:41.684
That's not the right word either, but it starts to blend in with the voice.

01:03:41.684 --> 01:03:43.791
So you have to be careful with that, that's so.

01:03:44.672 --> 01:03:45.291
Yeah, well, I was.

01:03:45.291 --> 01:03:46.952
I remember, just as a side tangent.

01:03:46.952 --> 01:03:52.376
I remember going to a concert one time and you could really hear the vocalists in.

01:03:52.376 --> 01:03:53.496
You know it was.

01:03:53.496 --> 01:04:01.181
It was in a room, it was not well treated and I was like, so I caught the audio engineer, you know, at the end of the program.

01:04:01.181 --> 01:04:08.166
We were talking to him and I was just said I said my great job mixing tonight, like I could hear all the vocals.

01:04:08.166 --> 01:04:11.431
And in in a room like that that's pretty amazing.

01:04:11.431 --> 01:04:12.574
He said let me tell you my secret.

01:04:13.197 --> 01:04:18.260
He goes we've taken all the instruments that have the mid ranges where our vocals live.

01:04:18.382 --> 01:04:39.157
So you know, as you're singing you only have a certain range that you stay with and then some go, some go higher and some go lower, but there's a pretty, pretty defined vocal range of a frequency range and he goes all the instruments are the, all their music is compressed or suppressed in that so that they're the vocalists are not competing with the music.

01:04:39.157 --> 01:04:41.543
And we we run into that problem in pod.

01:04:41.543 --> 01:04:54.152
If you're going to use music right, we think all music is good and if you've got like a second ago you played the music a little too loud and then all of a sudden I have to really strain to hear you, or you know I've got to work.

01:04:54.152 --> 01:05:04.291
You know, if you're like you said, if your voice is in a, if it's you have a higher pitch voice, a lower frequency music is probably better for you if you're going to play it underneath that.

01:05:04.291 --> 01:05:05.713
So, yeah, that stuff matters.

01:05:05.713 --> 01:05:06.974
Do you have perfect pitch, dave?

01:05:06.974 --> 01:05:13.461
Did you you were able to, or were you just saying okay, I do have the ability.

01:05:14.583 --> 01:05:16.985
No, if I have if I have.

01:05:17.931 --> 01:05:19.514
Like I did this last week in church.

01:05:19.514 --> 01:05:23.650
We were singing with a CD and I go, what's the name of the song?

01:05:23.650 --> 01:05:25.932
And insert Christian sounding song here.

01:05:25.932 --> 01:05:27.914
So whatever, lift me up, praise you forever, whatever Right.

01:05:27.914 --> 01:05:28.775
And I go, I don't know that song.

01:05:28.775 --> 01:05:30.016
I said, lift me up, praise you forever, whatever Right.

01:05:30.016 --> 01:05:31.239
And I go, I don't know that song.

01:05:31.239 --> 01:05:32.300
I said I'll just play with it.

01:05:32.300 --> 01:05:34.501
And she's like, well, wait, how are you going to play with it?

01:05:34.501 --> 01:05:34.842
You don't know.

01:05:34.842 --> 01:05:46.114
And I said, just watch, I go A number one, and I say this with love and compassion you want to talk about things that are not very original.

01:05:46.134 --> 01:05:56.652
Most Christian songs I affectionately refer to them as 7-11 music it's the same seven words, 11 times, and it's usually three chords tops and then on the fourth verse we're going to go up a half a step.

01:05:56.652 --> 01:06:03.172
So it's once, I find, and it's a matter of like, oh, and also, if it starts on a piano, it's probably in C.

01:06:03.172 --> 01:06:10.271
If it starts on a guitar, it's probably G or E or you know, they're just it's you know whatever.

01:06:10.271 --> 01:06:35.519
40 years of playing the guitar, I kind of know that, and so and that's to me it's fun, I used to do that because back before, even before cassettes, the only thing I had was the radio and vinyl, and so I would just turn on the radio and like whatever came on the radio, I would figure out how to play, which works really handy when you're playing in a bar and somebody comes in and wants to play reggae and you go, I got zero reggae chops and they play it anyway.

01:06:35.519 --> 01:06:49.630
I mean, when I was at Podcast Movement, we knew we were going to play one song and we did that and then they went into another song before I could get off the stage and I had to go over and stand behind the piano player so I could see his hand, his left hand.

01:06:49.630 --> 01:06:54.487
Then I could be like, okay, we're an F, and once I knew we were an F, it's, it's.

01:06:54.487 --> 01:06:56.733
There's only so many places you're going to go in a song there.

01:06:56.733 --> 01:07:08.802
If you look at the Ed Sheeran case, when he plays like seven songs and they're all the same exact chord progression, you know every 50 song has been.

01:07:08.802 --> 01:07:10.224
You know it was all the same song.

01:07:10.224 --> 01:07:21.983
So but my favorite music trick is, if we go back to this is when I'm I'm making a point and all of a sudden I really want to get your attention and that's why you don't do that.

01:07:21.983 --> 01:07:25.038
When the music drops off and you're like, well, where'd the floor go?

01:07:25.038 --> 01:07:26.570
And you, you make your point.

01:07:26.570 --> 01:07:27.653
That's the point.

01:07:27.653 --> 01:07:29.701
That's always a fun trick to do with music.

01:07:30.570 --> 01:07:35.878
Danny says for most podcasts, consistent background music doesn't work and it's distracting.

01:07:35.878 --> 01:07:36.541
That would be me.

01:07:36.541 --> 01:07:38.492
I'm like, please don't do that Because I'm going wait.

01:07:38.492 --> 01:07:39.335
Is that a C minor?

01:07:39.335 --> 01:07:40.853
Seventh Like that's.

01:07:40.853 --> 01:07:43.715
I'm picking apart the music, especially if it's too loud.

01:07:43.715 --> 01:07:49.931
That's where that.

01:07:49.952 --> 01:07:51.815
As for doing a solo show, john Jumango says I use bullet points instead of scripts.

01:07:51.815 --> 01:07:53.440
It keeps you on point, but it doesn't sound like I'm reading.

01:07:53.440 --> 01:07:54.262
That just takes.

01:07:54.262 --> 01:07:55.010
It's like anything else.

01:07:55.010 --> 01:07:55.813
It takes practice.

01:07:55.813 --> 01:08:00.293
And right now he says NoteJoy has become my favorite app to make show scripts.

01:08:00.293 --> 01:08:02.699
I drag and drop audio and video clips into the note.

01:08:02.699 --> 01:08:07.976
I always forget you can store a lot of like media in NoteJoy.

01:08:07.976 --> 01:08:09.099
I have a bunch of.

01:08:09.099 --> 01:08:12.971
I just took a really crappy course on SEO.

01:08:12.971 --> 01:08:14.856
I won't say who it's from, but at the end I was.

01:08:14.856 --> 01:08:16.279
I was this close to going.

01:08:16.279 --> 01:08:29.944
I think I'm going to request a refund because it was and I should have known it, because the person there was an SEO for podcasters and they they are a top 0.5% podcaster and I was like that's a listen note, stat.

01:08:30.529 --> 01:08:48.060
And I'm like and it was yeah, so but Before you go to our awesome supporters, let me wrap up the conversation with this If you're going to riff, if you're going to get in there, bullet points, whatever, just be aware, right, this is the danger of riffing, so to speak.

01:08:48.060 --> 01:08:50.632
You will start repeating yourself often.

01:08:50.632 --> 01:09:00.503
You only have so many, you'll have only have so many thoughts in your head and you, you begin to start saying it the same way, over and over and over and over again.

01:09:00.503 --> 01:09:02.632
And yes, you'll say you're screaming at me right now.

01:09:02.632 --> 01:09:05.621
No, I won't, not me, okay, that's fine.

01:09:05.621 --> 01:09:08.194
If you can't, if that's, if that doesn't work for it's, it's fine.

01:09:08.194 --> 01:09:10.572
Just be careful, you'll begin.

01:09:10.572 --> 01:09:16.670
You know, if you go back to the we were talking about Rush Limbaugh the other day you know, rush is like Taco Bell.

01:09:16.670 --> 01:09:21.761
He only had seven ingredients and he just kept mixing them together all the time.

01:09:21.761 --> 01:09:24.435
Right, it was literally the same things.

01:09:24.435 --> 01:09:26.421
You know over and over and over.

01:09:31.510 --> 01:09:32.150
And Dave Ramsey is the same way.

01:09:32.150 --> 01:09:32.591
It's the same veins.

01:09:32.632 --> 01:09:32.693
And.

01:09:32.693 --> 01:09:37.752
And then, just to be fair, we do the same thing here, like you know, we're here every week, so we hear ourselves.

01:09:38.194 --> 01:09:41.005
Dave, you hear me say the same things, I hear you say the same things.

01:09:41.005 --> 01:09:46.520
Writing it out or scripting it can help you prevent some of that, because it can.

01:09:46.520 --> 01:09:48.425
You can make yourself say it in a different way.

01:09:48.425 --> 01:09:48.756
Gives you a chance to edit it before you say it.

01:09:48.756 --> 01:09:49.162
Of that, because it can, you can make yourself say it in a different way.

01:09:49.162 --> 01:09:51.626
Gives you a chance to edit it before you say it's up.

01:09:51.626 --> 01:09:57.198
Just a warning if you think riffing is the way to go, it's got its dangers for sure.

01:09:57.359 --> 01:10:02.351
Okay, speaking of riffing, well, before that I've realized something, as I was.

01:10:02.351 --> 01:10:04.198
You know, you're talking, I'm like, okay, cool.

01:10:04.198 --> 01:10:07.472
And I look over and I'm like, hey, zoom isn't running anymore.

01:10:07.472 --> 01:10:17.573
And I think there's a thing in Zoom, even though I'm paying my whatever 15 bucks a month, that if nobody joins the meeting it just nansely shuts itself off.

01:10:17.573 --> 01:10:22.652
Because I'm like hey, where's my Zoom window in case somebody joins?

01:10:22.652 --> 01:10:28.002
And I was like, oh, it's not there, but somebody I hope would be there would be.

01:10:28.002 --> 01:10:29.064
You know that I get to see.

01:10:29.064 --> 01:10:32.014

01:12:10.675 --> 01:12:23.804
We click the wheel and it goes around and around and around and it looks like it's going to be York, the one and only York from Welcome to Earth Stories.

01:12:55.711 --> 01:12:59.296
Slash awesome and just for giggles.

01:12:59.296 --> 01:13:03.162
Let's find out what here.

01:13:03.162 --> 01:13:04.751
Let's do this with the screen thingy.

01:13:04.751 --> 01:13:15.173
If I go over to dynamic content, we can see that last week the featured supporter was Craig over at AI Goes to College.

01:13:15.173 --> 01:13:17.877
And here it is.

01:13:17.877 --> 01:13:22.409
He had 877 plays at the beginning of the show.

01:13:22.409 --> 01:13:25.335
So that's one of the advantages of being one of the awesome supporters.

01:13:25.395 --> 01:13:28.621
If we scroll down here, one of the awesome supporters.

01:13:28.621 --> 01:13:32.967
If we scroll down here, let's see Ed Sullivan has had 1,200 plays.

01:13:32.967 --> 01:13:40.158
Jody Krangel has 2,247 plays.

01:13:40.158 --> 01:13:42.260
So Glenn Hebert, who's won a million times 2,941.

01:13:42.260 --> 01:13:43.742
And what happens is it just gets tacked on at the beginning of the show.

01:13:43.742 --> 01:13:51.444
So if you're looking for a way to support the show and if you're lucky enough to be the winner of the wheel of names plus, of course, I should always mention when you, when you're brand new.

01:13:51.444 --> 01:13:59.725
We give you a giant shout out at the beginning of the show and if you have a question, we now have the.

01:13:59.725 --> 01:14:03.631
The actual Zoom meeting is now running, if you try to join earlier.

01:14:03.631 --> 01:14:05.792
Chris Nessie has a fun question, he says just for fun.

01:14:05.792 --> 01:14:08.014
Chris Nessie has a fun question, he says just for fun.

01:14:08.014 --> 01:14:09.875
So, jim, grab your phone.

01:14:09.875 --> 01:14:14.796
How many unlistened to episodes do you have in your podcast catcher?

01:14:14.796 --> 01:14:17.298
And so I will grab my phone.

01:14:17.538 --> 01:14:19.020
My, I'm using pocket.

01:14:19.619 --> 01:14:30.987
Yeah, let's see I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12 in my queue and if I go to, oh holy cow, 111.

01:14:30.987 --> 01:14:32.868
So there's 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

01:14:32.868 --> 01:14:43.609
Yeah, so probably somewhere around 30 episodes waiting for me to listen to.

01:14:43.609 --> 01:14:51.483
So that's and that's why, on one hand, now I have some shows like Podcasting 2.0, I listen to every Friday night.

01:14:51.483 --> 01:14:53.172
That's my routine Friday night.

01:14:53.172 --> 01:14:57.150
Go to Walmart grocery shop, listen to Podcasting 2.0, because it comes out on Friday.

01:14:57.150 --> 01:14:59.114
Thursday.

01:14:59.114 --> 01:15:00.358
I listen to no Agenda.

01:15:00.358 --> 01:15:02.561
Everybody else I just listen to.

01:15:03.143 --> 01:15:23.573
Like James Cridland, I listen while I'm showering His daily show, which is I have a playlist in Pocket Cast called Short Shows, and so it's James, it's Joe Polizzi from Content Inc and the newsworthy with that girl.

01:15:23.573 --> 01:15:26.777
I know she has brown hair, she has a son.

01:15:26.777 --> 01:15:27.677
What is her name?

01:15:27.677 --> 01:15:29.140
That's going to drive me nuts, but anyway.

01:15:29.140 --> 01:15:35.587
So the way I have it set up is I have my short show playlist and then I have a queue.

01:15:35.587 --> 01:15:44.396
So if I really like your show, I will have it like when a new episode comes down, put it in the queue and then I blow through my queue.

01:15:44.396 --> 01:15:47.539
And if I run out of that, then I go into playlists.

01:15:57.574 --> 01:15:59.720
So I'll go into my marketing playlist or whatever playlist I have.

01:15:59.720 --> 01:15:59.859
But I.

01:15:59.899 --> 01:16:00.502
How many episodes do you?

01:16:00.521 --> 01:16:01.965
think you listened to a day One.

01:16:01.965 --> 01:16:03.868
I just listened to the wall street journal podcast.

01:16:03.868 --> 01:16:04.250
Now, there you go.

01:16:04.250 --> 01:16:15.198
Then, when I have time, boy, it's amazing how like cause that's a 15 minute podcast, so it's twice a day, so on the way home, and then how much that's gotten in the way of the other podcasts, so then probably one or two others.

01:16:15.198 --> 01:16:18.246
I just got done listening to Randy Cantrell's latest episode.

01:16:18.246 --> 01:16:18.869
Ah, there we go.

01:16:18.869 --> 01:16:24.594
Whenever I need, like you know, you listen to the news and you're like yikes.

01:16:24.594 --> 01:16:25.337
So.

01:16:25.356 --> 01:16:26.118
I listen to Randy.

01:16:26.118 --> 01:16:31.615
You know I popped that in but I haven't been.

01:16:31.615 --> 01:16:33.282
I'm a big windows weekly guy with with leo laporte.

01:16:33.622 --> 01:16:34.064
Yeah, there you go.

01:16:34.064 --> 01:16:34.907
That's a.

01:16:34.907 --> 01:16:38.615
That's what you've been listening to for a while yeah, that, yeah, I have.

01:16:38.655 --> 01:16:43.774
Well, I listened to paul before he was even I mean, I used to read his newsletter before he was on with leo.

01:16:43.774 --> 01:16:46.961
So I listened to paul thrott, not listen.

01:16:46.961 --> 01:16:47.221
I.

01:16:47.221 --> 01:16:52.073
I've known paul longer than I've known Leo and, and you know, appreciate that podcast.

01:16:52.073 --> 01:16:53.157
So that's, that's a weekly.

01:16:53.157 --> 01:16:57.439
But I don't I'm not traveling as much as I used to, so I just don't get to as many.

01:16:57.439 --> 01:17:01.740
You know, as I used to have time to catch them everywhere, but I just don't.

01:17:01.740 --> 01:17:05.818
And, to be honest, I watch a lot more YouTube.

01:17:05.818 --> 01:17:11.951
I know they're not podcasts, but I watch a lot more.

01:17:11.970 --> 01:17:12.733
YouTube.

01:17:12.733 --> 01:17:31.716
I know they're not podcasts, but I watch a lot of content made on YouTube I at lunch now, cause I use a G cast to stream, cause I, my internet or my TV service is YouTube TV, and so I bought I used to have the Amazon fire and it was getting a little old in the tooth and I kept having to reboot it.

01:17:31.716 --> 01:17:40.712
So I bought a G-Cast and because it's a Google device, it comes with a YouTube button and a Netflix button, which I thought was odd but nonetheless.

01:17:40.712 --> 01:17:46.088
And when you hit YouTube it goes oh, did you want to go to YouTube TV or YouTube YouTube?

01:17:46.088 --> 01:17:46.851
And I go.

01:17:46.851 --> 01:17:51.432
These days we're going to YouTube TV or YouTube YouTube, and I go.

01:17:51.432 --> 01:17:52.295
These days we're going to YouTube I.

01:17:52.295 --> 01:17:52.336
I.

01:17:52.355 --> 01:18:01.707
The only thing I watch really on TV now is sports, and I watch it after it's been recorded so I can fast forward through all the you know 8 million commercial breaks telling me to go gamble my money away.

01:18:01.707 --> 01:18:06.836
Erica Mandy is the host of the newsworthy that's the woman I was trying to think of.

01:18:06.836 --> 01:18:16.073
But the fact that it has a YouTube button, you go over and I'll throw some you know chicken thighs in the microwave to heat up and while that's heating it.

01:18:16.073 --> 01:18:40.322
I grab my remote, I hit YouTube and what I really like and it's kind of weird because YouTube doesn't remember what I was watching in the bedroom which is kind of annoying or in my office, like if I'm watching whatever Jeff C in my office, if I go to the living room and hit my YouTube button, it goes back to what I was watching in the living room, like it doesn't know Different accounts.

01:18:40.770 --> 01:18:44.421
Yeah, no, it's the same account it's really weird, but there are times-.

01:18:47.082 --> 01:18:49.831
I'm probably bringing the history over or something, right?

01:18:49.831 --> 01:18:50.474
Yeah, I think that app is.

01:18:50.474 --> 01:18:50.796
Yeah, there's.

01:18:50.796 --> 01:18:51.780
There's some things in the TV app.

01:18:51.780 --> 01:18:53.310
There are times that I'm like, wait, where's the such and such button?

01:18:53.310 --> 01:18:59.069
Or especially if there's a, a QR code, or not a QR code, but a button or something.

01:18:59.069 --> 01:19:00.296
I'm like, oh, I want to click that.

01:19:00.296 --> 01:19:02.856
It's hard to do on the TV but.

01:19:02.856 --> 01:19:24.529
But there'd been times when I will have Jeff C shows on for my lunch and I'll watch you know whatever 15 minutes of it and I'll hit stop and go back and if I don't finish it or whatever, I'll come back the next day, hit my YouTube button and there's Jeff C, you know, and talking to Connor and the gang, and it just picks up right where I left off.

01:19:24.529 --> 01:19:29.689
So it's kind of annoying that it doesn't pick up where whatever I was on YouTube.

01:19:29.689 --> 01:19:34.152
But there are times when I say, oh, yeah, I was watching that yesterday, totally forgot to finish it, so.

01:19:34.152 --> 01:19:37.779
But yeah, I watch a lot more YouTube on my TV.

01:19:37.779 --> 01:19:40.503
So when you see that stat, that's partly me.

01:19:40.503 --> 01:19:50.465
I definitely watch more YouTube now than I did even six months ago, just because I'll give you an example, and it was a little too nerdy for me.

01:19:51.190 --> 01:20:03.319
But Rick Beato does this great channel about music and the music business and he got to interview the guitar player from Pink Floyd in that guy's studio.

01:20:03.319 --> 01:20:06.953
So A information you can't get anyplace else.

01:20:06.953 --> 01:20:09.720
I've never seen Dave Gilmour's studio.

01:20:09.720 --> 01:20:26.854
And then the fact that he occasionally would pick up the guitar and play, and it was like an hour and a half and I'm like this is so not a Jimmy Fallon interview on the Tonight Show, where it's like okay, I heard you, you know Jim, I heard you had a funny, you know vacation story.

01:20:26.854 --> 01:20:31.703
And Jim's like, yeah, my kid fell down in the tent zipper and blah, blah, blah.

01:20:31.703 --> 01:20:33.389
And you're like, okay, and roll the clip.

01:20:33.890 --> 01:20:40.118
You know, this was like to the point where I'm like, wow, I'm a guitar player and this is a little too nerdy for me.

01:20:40.118 --> 01:20:45.972
Like they went super deep and I was like I think this is why YouTube is YouTube.

01:20:45.972 --> 01:20:50.136
Like if you want to do a serious deep dive into stuff, it was.

01:20:50.136 --> 01:20:51.637
It was really really kind of cool.

01:20:51.637 --> 01:20:53.378
So how about you?

01:20:53.378 --> 01:20:54.180
Do you watch more?

01:20:54.180 --> 01:20:57.622
Well, it sounds like you watch a lot, it's all YouTube, it's all YouTube.

01:20:57.882 --> 01:20:59.384
Yeah, yeah, I've, I've.

01:20:59.384 --> 01:21:03.807
I just it's just easier, I don't know, for me it's just easier.

01:21:03.807 --> 01:21:04.970
So, and I have some.

01:21:04.970 --> 01:21:07.536
It's a great way to follow.

01:21:07.536 --> 01:21:11.423
You know, I have some YouTubers that would never say they're podcasters.

01:21:11.423 --> 01:21:14.511
They say they're YouTubers, right and they.

01:21:14.511 --> 01:21:17.418
But they provide some great content, some good lifestyle.

01:21:17.418 --> 01:21:22.358
You know, I don't know, it's just like watching my friends, so I enjoy it a lot.

01:21:22.358 --> 01:21:25.097
It has cut into my regular podcast though, that's for sure.

01:21:25.699 --> 01:21:26.081
That's it.

01:21:26.081 --> 01:21:26.953
I used to listen.

01:21:26.953 --> 01:21:35.471
I listen now to podcasts when I walk around the block or I'm exercising or if I'm driving anytime I drive I'm listening to a podcast.

01:21:35.471 --> 01:21:38.779
But yeah, I used to listen on my lunch and now I'm watching YouTube.

01:21:38.859 --> 01:21:57.862
So, and what's interesting is, in some cases, like Kevin Michael now and he needs to, he needs to pick a fence and he cause he's doing some things just in audio and some things in video, which is kind of fine, but his messaging is a little messy because this is the grow the show guy.

01:21:57.862 --> 01:22:06.404
And so there are times like I had actually unsubscribed from his audio because I thought he was just doing video.

01:22:06.404 --> 01:22:11.087
He was really doubling down on YouTube, and I like Kevin audio because I thought he was just doing video.

01:22:11.087 --> 01:22:13.171
He was really doubling down on YouTube, and I like Kevin.

01:22:13.171 --> 01:22:18.752
And so I started watching all this stuff on YouTube and then something came across, I think via email or something, that he said no, no, I'm still doing audio stuff.

01:22:18.771 --> 01:22:28.298
And I was like, well, wait, like if you keep making me dance back and forth not that it's hard, but you know, it's kind of confusing at times.

01:22:28.298 --> 01:22:36.322
Here's a fun one that I will put in the um, yeah, no, and this again is a brand new person, so we'll give them a break here.

01:22:36.322 --> 01:22:44.858
They say hey, tomorrow, me and my co-host will be starting our first podcast episode, looking for some good stories to talk about on our podcast.

01:22:44.858 --> 01:22:53.018
And that's when I get a like if this is your first episode and you're already out of content, I'm like that's, that's not a good sign.

01:22:53.018 --> 01:23:11.645
So I would and I I left a note, I was like hey, like maybe write out 10 topics you want to talk about one for each episode, you know, and maybe and it's not a no, but like if you're struggling with content and you haven't recorded episode one, this may be a not now kind of situation.

01:23:11.810 --> 01:23:13.036
Well, maybe they're just going to chat, though.

01:23:13.109 --> 01:23:14.451
Maybe they're just going to get together and chat.

01:23:14.911 --> 01:23:15.631
Yeah, it's a chat.

01:23:15.631 --> 01:23:16.572
It's a chat cast.

01:23:16.572 --> 01:23:19.354
Yeah, it's just a chat cast, and that's okay too.

01:23:19.755 --> 01:23:23.777
Yeah, that's okay too.

01:23:23.777 --> 01:23:34.444
And like if I recorded every phone call I did with my best friend and you would hear us talk about how hot girls were in the 80s and you know guitars and whatever else.

01:23:34.744 --> 01:23:36.586
And the fact that getting old sucks.

01:23:36.586 --> 01:23:43.213
You know like it's not a great podcast, but you know it's a place to start, you know?

01:23:43.213 --> 01:23:44.720
And again, nothing wrong with that podcast.

01:23:44.720 --> 01:23:48.212
Just don't turn around and ask me why isn't this growing Like?

01:23:48.212 --> 01:23:49.829
Because it's a conversation.

01:23:49.829 --> 01:23:54.840
It's not a show in a way, but it's great therapy, if you.

01:23:54.840 --> 01:23:56.684
You know that's another way to look at it.

01:23:56.684 --> 01:23:58.112
Here's a one.

01:23:58.112 --> 01:23:58.934
I see a lot too.

01:23:59.073 --> 01:24:02.641
How can I do a podcast with just my voice recorder?

01:24:02.641 --> 01:24:07.918
I have an Android phone, I have a built-in voice recorder, but I can't upload it to YouTube.

01:24:07.918 --> 01:24:10.463
Any suggestions outside of Spotify?

01:24:10.463 --> 01:24:14.472
I don't like Spotify and my whole thing.

01:24:16.176 --> 01:24:29.850
I get it that we all want to do things on our phone because it'd be easier, but at least in my travels, getting files off the phone so you can then upload them to your media host is not easy on a phone To me.

01:24:29.850 --> 01:24:51.613
I'm just like you can record it on your phone if you want, but then have a Dropbox or something, because I know, even on an iPhone, some apps will save it to like a folder on your phone, but then you have to plug the phone in to be able to see the folder that it saved it to Like.

01:24:51.613 --> 01:25:01.632
There's just these weird little hurdles that you have to jump through to the point where I'm just like you know, just because you can record it on your phone doesn't mean you should.

01:25:01.632 --> 01:25:02.494
That's for me.

01:25:02.494 --> 01:25:04.118
I call that painting with peanut butter.

01:25:04.118 --> 01:25:08.636
Just because you can paint with peanut butter doesn't mean you should, and I get it that.

01:25:08.636 --> 01:25:09.818
It sounds like a great idea.

01:25:09.818 --> 01:25:13.324
I'll just record it on my phone and I used to have.

01:25:13.324 --> 01:25:14.832
It might still be out there.

01:25:14.873 --> 01:25:19.733
There was a podcast I did called Podcasting for Free and that was my thing.

01:25:19.733 --> 01:25:27.421
I was like I think that was back then there was a free version of Dropbox and you would record it on your phone, you would send it to Dropbox.

01:25:27.421 --> 01:25:34.859
You would then get on your computer and finish it in Audacity and upload it to whoever the free host that hadn't gone out of business yet.

01:25:34.859 --> 01:25:39.134
Yeah, danny says auto-upload to Drive or similar.

01:25:39.134 --> 01:25:41.659
Use Zapier to move to your host.

01:25:41.659 --> 01:25:43.122
Is there Zapier on a phone?

01:25:43.122 --> 01:25:45.055
I've never used Zapier on a phone.

01:25:45.055 --> 01:25:46.659
I'm assuming that would make sense.

01:25:46.739 --> 01:25:48.975
But yeah, yeah, it could work.

01:25:51.470 --> 01:25:51.831
Zapier on a phone.

01:25:51.831 --> 01:25:52.573
I'm assuming that would make sense.

01:25:52.573 --> 01:25:53.154
But yeah, it could work.

01:25:53.154 --> 01:25:53.595
Yeah, so then another.

01:25:53.595 --> 01:25:55.699
I saw this and I was like, oh, this is a classic question.

01:25:55.699 --> 01:25:58.676
I haven't answered this one in a while, so I'm like let's bring that one back.

01:25:58.676 --> 01:26:04.052
Then that is hey, how come my Apple stats are different than my media host?

01:26:04.052 --> 01:26:30.873
So in this case, this was in a Buzzsprout group on I think this was Reddit, and the reason for that is when you look at Apple stats, apple is only showing you people that listened on an Apple device, audiences on Apple, and you had a hundred downloads in Buzzsprout.

01:26:30.873 --> 01:26:34.663
Well then, you're going to have 40 people in your Apple podcast, not a hundred, just to keep numbers easy.

01:26:34.663 --> 01:26:40.078
And so you know you'll also see like for this show especially.

01:26:40.720 --> 01:26:42.685
We get no love in Spotify.

01:26:42.685 --> 01:26:43.426
I wonder why?

01:26:43.426 --> 01:26:48.338
Only because I talk about how bad Spotify is every other week, but we don't.

01:26:48.338 --> 01:26:48.739
I don't.

01:26:48.739 --> 01:27:01.099
You know, the only show I've ever had do really well in Spotify was the podcast rodeo show, where it would get like three figures downloads and Spotify.

01:27:01.099 --> 01:27:09.573
Everything else it's like 12, 13, six, you know, maybe 20 every now and then, but I've never been big in Spotify.

01:27:09.573 --> 01:27:21.578
So, consequently, the numbers in your media hosts, whether that's Captivate or, you know, blueberry or Libsyn or whoever, those are always going to be different than what you see in.

01:27:21.578 --> 01:27:23.622
You know your stuff.

01:27:23.622 --> 01:27:29.001
So with that one we will hit the music and ask Jim, what's coming up on?

01:27:29.001 --> 01:27:29.882
Home Gadget Geeks.

01:27:30.529 --> 01:27:31.733
Yeah, thursday was 9-11.

01:27:31.733 --> 01:27:32.695
So I just took the week off.

01:27:32.695 --> 01:27:36.332
I was like so it was good, it was a good week to take off.

01:27:36.332 --> 01:27:44.881
But you know, if you want to go back, we've got episodes available out there Some of the best tech gadget conversation you can have homegadgetgeekscom.

01:27:51.029 --> 01:27:52.875
Yeah, danny says Spotify is consistently low for my shows and I'm okay with that.

01:27:52.875 --> 01:27:54.519
You actually thought about, uh, that's a whole other thing.

01:27:54.519 --> 01:28:08.152
I saw a video on just how messed up the music business is and a lot of it was around spotify and for I don't know nine seconds I thought I might pull my podcast from spotify and I was like that's not really gonna hurt spotify.

01:28:08.152 --> 01:28:11.798
It hurts my listeners, the you know both, both of them that are using Spotify.

01:28:11.798 --> 01:28:21.094
But on the School of Podcasting, as I mentioned earlier, I interviewed a person bringing her on because she's kind of a social, how to use social.

01:28:21.094 --> 01:28:27.913
She has a bazillion people on Instagram and we talk about how do you get people off of Instagram to your podcast.

01:28:27.913 --> 01:28:34.595
But also, I think the biggest lesson I got from her is she's not afraid to try anything and if it works, it works.

01:28:34.595 --> 01:28:35.795
If it doesn't, she moves on.

01:28:35.795 --> 01:28:37.014
So that's coming up.

01:28:37.255 --> 01:28:51.466
On the School of Podcasting, I was going to do part two of how to grow your audience and it dawned on me that a lot of that is my talk that I'll be doing at the Empowered Podcasting Conference, which is coming up next week, I believe, or the week after.

01:28:51.466 --> 01:28:52.836
I know it's yeah something.

01:28:52.836 --> 01:28:59.654
It's less than 10 days away in Charlotte, so I might put that one on pause for a bit, until after I get back.

01:28:59.654 --> 01:29:06.195
