    Strike Up Your Podcast: Lessons from Duck Pin Bowling

    OK, I realize this seems a little odd, but stay with me. Bowling and podcasting share surprising similarities that can inspire you to start your own podcast. Just like in duck pin bowling, where mastering the basics and adapting your technique is crucial, podcasting requires a solid grasp of content creation and delivery. Throughout this episode, Dave Jackson draws parallels between the two, emphasizing the importance of feedback, practice, and finding your unique style. He also introduces an AI prompt that can help you generate fresh interview questions, making it easier to engage your audience. Whether you're a seasoned bowler or a curious podcaster, this episode is packed with insights to guide your journey.

You tell it about your podcast (who your target listener is) explain who your guest is, and then ask it to come up with questions that your guest hasn't been asked. Want more? Explain how some of the questions may be used for YouTube Shorts and to put those in bold.

    It works. Watch Video

    Add More to Your Podcast? Remember to Subtract!

    • Please tell your guests when their episodes will be released to help them prepare to share.
    • As a guest, promise to promote the episode to increase your chances of being invited back.

    The Future of Film and Podcasting: Avoiding the Same Pitfalls

    This episode serves as a guide for content creators to learn from the mistakes of the movie industry. It advocates for creativity, genuine audience engagement, and strategic marketing that resonates with today's consumers.

    The movie industry is falling fast. I share my childhood memories of the joy of watching movies and how attending a movie now has changed dramatically. We need to understand the power of audience engagement, noting that the film industry is often playing it safe with sequels and familiar franchises (a strategy that may not always yield positive results).

    As podcasters, we need to note these trends and craft our content thoughtfully, ensuring that we do not fall into the trap of repeating what has already been done. Podcasters can stand out in an increasingly crowded marketplace by fostering authentic connections with listeners and providing innovative, compelling narratives.

    • Creating a strong community experience can enhance audience engagement for both movies and podcasts.
    • Making the consumption of your content easy is crucial for keeping your audience satisfied.
    • Trailers should accurately represent the film's content to avoid disappointing viewers.
    • Audience engagement and feedback are essential for improving movie and podcast content.
    • Podcasters should avoid the common pitfalls of the movie industry to ensure success.

    Maximize Listener Engagement with Podcast Chapters

    Chapters in podcast episodes allow listeners to easily navigate content, enhancing their listening experience by allowing them to skip to segments they find most intriguing or relevant. Dave Jackson explores the evolution and utility of chapters, reflecting on his initial disdain and eventual reliance on them. Dave invites podcasters to share their perspectives, highlighting a range of opinions from enthusiastic advocates to skeptics who worry chapters might disrupt the listener's engagement.

    Tools like Hindenburg and Descript are spotlighted for their ability to integrate chapters seamlessly, while AI-driven solutions from hosts like Buzzsprout and Captivate are emerging to automate the process. As the podcasting landscape evolves, chapters are becoming a valuable feature for both content creators and audiences, though their adoption remains a personal choice, influenced by the podcast's format and the creator's goals.
