2 December 2024, 5:00 am - 40 minutes 59 secondsAriana Grande's Voice and Your Podcast: What They Have in Common
Don't let past regrets or harsh words hold you back from podcasting. This episode highlights inspiring stories from podcasters like Zita Christian, who turned her struggles with Alzheimer's into a powerful platform, and Ray Arnott, whose model train podcast has garnered a passionate community. Dave Jackson emphasizes that everyone has a unique voice and experience to share, and it's essential to push through the self-doubt that might stem from past failures.
He also discusses the phenomenon of pod fading, where many new podcasters stop before truly finding their audience. Tune in to discover how you can overcome obstacles and embrace your podcasting journey, all while ensuring your voice is heard loud and clear.
Transitioning to the theme of persistence in podcasting, Dave discusses the phenomenon of 'pod fading,' where many new podcasters abandon their shows within months. He references a study revealing that around 30% of podcasters stop producing content shortly after launching. Jackson draws parallels between podcasting and gym memberships, highlighting how both require commitment and a clear understanding of one's goals to achieve lasting success. He encourages listeners to embrace their unique voices, reminding them that past failures or negative feedback should not deter them from sharing their stories. Instead, he advocates for a mindset shift—viewing each podcasting endeavor as an opportunity to learn and grow, regardless of the initial outcome.
The episode crescendos with reflections on the recent insights he gained from watching the musical 'Wicked,' particularly the unexpected vocal talents of Ariana Grande. This experience serves as a metaphor for the hidden potential within each person. Jackson urges aspiring podcasters to let go of self-doubt and 'head trash,' asserting that everyone has a unique contribution to make. By embracing their individuality and the lessons learned from past experiences, podcasters can inspire others and carve out their place in the audio landscape. As the episode wraps up, Dave reiterates his commitment to supporting podcasters through his school, providing resources and guidance to help them realize their potential and achieve their podcasting dreams.
Takeaways:
- Zita Christian's podcast gained recognition when she was featured in U.S. News & World Report, showcasing the impact a podcast can have.
- Ray Arnott's podcast inspired a listener to send in a special gift.
- Many new podcasters quit because they lack clarity on their audience and goals, leading to frustration.
- Consistency in content and focus is crucial for successful podcasting; it's not just about publishing.
- Ariana Grande's unexpected vocal talent illustrates that preconceived notions can limit potential; podcasting is similar.
- Pod fading affects 30% of new podcasters; understanding your audience is key to longevity.
- YouTube's redefining the word podcast may confuse advertisers and affect the money flowing into podcasting.

18 November 2024, 5:00 am - 45 minutes 27 secondsStrike 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

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.

- Making the consumption of your content easy is crucial for keeping your audience satisfied.

- 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.

7 October 2024, 5:00 am - 49 minutes 49 secondsMaximize 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.
