I will state this until I’m blue in the face: Podcasting Is Not The Radio!
No joke, I literally have to tell my clients, when we first start working together, we’re not trying to be WHYY’s Terry Gross.
Non-fiction podcasts shouldn’t be stuffy and overly edited.
People come to your podcast to hear from you, get your personality, and learn something.
If there is a gaff like an “um” or an “uh” it’s not the end of the world. Honestly it’s stranger when those “gaffs” aren’t there, because it sounds unnatural.
The most important thing to be at podcasting, is to know what you’re talking about, have fun, and have a plan/format for the show.
During my podcast coaching sessions, I work with my clients to come up with a plan of attack for their shows, a flow, and find the perfect format.
Podcasting is a great way to generate quality content for your business, your brand, yourself. You can repurpose the podcast into clips and share them on social media. You can turn them into blog posts and newsletters. The sky’s the limit.
But you have to get started. Sometimes that means putting on a comfy outfit and just hitting record.
I’ve been coaching businesses executives, entrepreneurs, business owners, and individual people the best tricks of the trade. I’d love to share them with you.
