Give NaPodPoMo Podcaster Feedback Ep 20
Podcasting within NaPodPoMo is a wonderful proving ground. As I’ve said before it is a cocoon of creativity. The NaPodPoMo 2023 MEGA Feed allows for some fabulous discovery. Most podcasters experience a surge of listens during this time. It certainly feels good to see those stats rise throughout the month. But beyond the data, you know what else is nice? Listener feedback. If you’re listening to your fellow NaPodPoMo podcaster’s shows, let them know. We all know podcasting is a whole heck of a lot of work. A kind word, a verbal or written pat on the back goes a…
The Real and the Raw Ep 17
Instead of being burdened with the weight of what you think your show “should be”, consider podcasting out in the wild. Remove the unnecessary mental load of what you believe are other’s expectations. Record on your phone while you're in the car, while you're walking the dog, while you're doing dishes, while you're washing clothes, while you're doing housework, while you're laying in bed. It doesn't actually matter where. Get comfortable being a podcaster in any circumstance or environment. Perhaps you create a mini-series that is more like a life-cast of you speaking your message outside the studio. Sort of…
#Value4Value for Podcasters and Listeners Ep 16
The pressure we put on ourselves because we think our show needs to be polished and perfect. "I need to have this beautiful website. I need to have amazing photos, I need to have really great copywriting. I need to have really great everything." But do you really? A polished website is nice but that's not your mission and your message. Those could be the things that make your missing mission and message resonate with people but what really works is you standing in the town square speaking your message, jumping on Twitter/X spaces or Wisdom or Clubhouse or starting…
Powerful Movements Ep 15
Powerful movements usually start with someone who has a mission and a message to share with the world. And keep sharing it until eventually it goes from one voice to many. Items Discussed: The inner fire that keeps tapping you on the shoulder wants out - let it emerge! Spark change by getting your message out of your head and into the world and spread it far and wide The ripple effect of your message happens when listeners tune in, then tell others, who tell other, etc Podcasting provides roots for your mission to grow, social media spreads that message…
Your Impact Ep 14
We’ve all been in a wonderful little NaPodPoMo cocoon of creativity. So what happens afterward? Let's reflect on the last episode’s Mission and Message topic. If you have a mission and message to share with the world then more than likely you would be talking, writing, creating content around it and talking about it in the real world anyway. What the payoff in doing that? Is it instant? It can be, but more than likely your mission and message are something you believe in and have been speaking about for a while now. It’s what you believe in today and…
Speak Your Mission & Share Your Message
Are you feeling called inwardly to share something meaningful but haven’t acted on it? Maybe you have lots of ideas but don’t know where to start. It's time to tap into your inner mission and message during National Podcast Post Month (NaPodPoMo). Give voice to whatever purpose or passion project wants to emerge, even if you’re unsure what exactly you want to talk about! Embrace the #FailFastGetGood concept rather than worrying about perfection right now. The goal is progress not perfection. Look at this challenge as your playground to rapidly test out podcasting styles, topics, formats that intrigue you and see…
Running With Scissors – Testing 123 Ep 12
The best way to figure whether something is working is to do it. Join me for a stream of consciousness test of my live podcast setup using Ladiocast to stream and Audio Hijack to record. A short discussion about my family and pies gets thrown into the mix when an unexpected call from my mom happens during the live sesision. Will this new live setup work? There's only one way to find out. A tease of an upcoming live podcast marathon session to batch record and get caught up. When? Soon. Very soon. The official National Podcast Post Month podcast…
But Did You Actually Go Live? Ep 11
By now you’re getting a good sense of your podcast show flow. Sure you’re still making adjustments, but the core style and vibe of your show is coming together….or is it? One of the things I enjoy about NaPodPoMo is the loose and free form experimental nature of it all. So you have an idea for a show and you start with that, but then new ideas pop up, then you want to go from no bells and whistles to adding some intro and outro music. Or maybe you started NaPodPoMo with a highly produced show and realize that…
