Your Thoughts on Podcast Audits?


Podcasting Observations

by Dave Jackson

Do Podcasters Want Feedback?

Maybe I’m weird (we may have established that previously), but I love when I got constructive feedback or praise. Maybe it goes back to when I was a waiter. If someone complained, I had a chance to fix the issue and still get a tip. In fact, if you solved an upset customer’s problem, you often had a customer for life.

In the past I’ve offered reviews/audits of podcasters (these are part of your subscription to the School of Podcasting), and yet the number of people who take me up on the offer is not staggering.

I thought it may be that these reviews are then made public. So I’m thinking of coming up with a new service where the review is kept private.

The #1 Question is “How do I grow my podcast” and yet nobody seems really interested in feedback on their show

So if you have two minutes, I’d love to hear your feedback.

Podcasting Observations by Dave Jackson I was in a reddit group for podcasters and someone asked should they change from Buzzsprout to Spotify for Creators. For me it will always be, "Anybody but Spotify." You're forgetting one big point. Buzzsprout (or really any host that's not Spotify) creates features that work in the open podcast system. Spotify creates features that only work in Spotify. They are looking at the Podcast name space and adding new features that can be used in all new...

Podcasting Observations by Dave Jackson Using AI To Keep Me Focused I was getting ready to record an episode. I had my one sentence summary: “You don’t have to be the best at something to influence them. Case in point: Ace Frehley.” It’s one of those “Dave talks about a dead person and relates their talent to podcasting” thing that I do. So I had my bullet points and hit record. Thirty eight minutes later I listened to it and thought I was done. It was Wednesday. Sunday when I went to edit...

Podcasting Observations by Dave Jackson Oh I Didn’t Think About That So I bought a NEEWER MS60B LED Video Light along with NEEWER 35”/90cm Octagonal Softbox. Any time I see someone using a Softbox, I just think they look “this much” better. So when they went on sale at Amazon I pulled the tigger. Then I needed something to hang the lights on my poll going across my ceiling. So there is that additional price for the NEEWER Super Clamp. It was more or less a $300 lesson. So what happened? This...
