Today's show is all about, yes, whether you can make money through podcasting. Pilar has made a bit, but not proper money. She mentions Entrepreneurs on Fire , as the first show she heard was turned into a business. Do you remember that? Sponsorship is also a common way for shows to bring in some cash, as well as through membership sites like Patreon. You can hear past guest Matt Gilhooly talk about how he uses Patreon in episode 35.

In this episode, Pilar talks about those interviews she never published, and why. Three good reasons for not publishing an interview: - The guest has nothing interesting to say (usually happens when they're not really up for sharing) - The guest doesn't come across as credible - They're the wrong guest for the show (but their PR representative misled you...)

In this second episode of the NaPodPoMo challenge, I talk about starting "Spain Uncovered," my first serious podcasting project. I began it while shifting towards leadership and management training, using my experience as a voiceover artist. The podcast, linked to my book "The A to Z of Spanish Culture," was a way to reach an audience interested in Spanish culture. With a simple Blue Nessie microphone, I interviewed diverse expats and experimented with bilingual content. This venture was a step ...

A different kind of guest for today - Pilar talks to Graham Brown, founder of the podcasting agency Pikkal & co. Graham started podcasting before "podcasting" started (around 2014), recording conversations with guests, directly from the phone. At the time Graham was living in Lanzarote, and was missing having conversations with other people, in particular meeting other entrepreneurs. No matter how beautiful the surroundings, Graham missed the inspiration he got from talking to others. He con...

Michele Ong, is the host of Steam Powered and she joins Pilar all the way from Australia. She started podcasting because she wanted to get a better idea of what women were doing in the STEAM fields. She knew many women doing incredible things in their work and their lives, and wanted to share their stories with others. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics/ medicine, but Michele talks about STEAM, as it includes “art”, which is key when interacting with technology and ...

Pilar is back with her own adventures, recording when broadband is glitchy, and discovering the power of podcasting to give people much needed reflection space. Due to some maintenance in her broadband, there were a couple of times when there was about a 1.5 seconds delay in the conversation between Pilar and the other person recording. For one of the shows it wasn’t an issue (and you’ll hear that conversation next week), but it did get some adjusting to. The conversation with guest Michelle Ong...

While on her break way from base, Pilar ponders on the nature of podcasts as "personal chronicles". I hadn’t planned a show for this week, but I made an effort to keep to a regular schedule. I’m actually not at home, so the audio will sound different and the set up is not as comfortable. The trigger for jumping behind the microphone was listening to Daniel Aragay in Haciendo el Sueco , where he talks about his time in Sweden. Recently he commented on a Twitter conversation, after a person shared...

In today's episode, Pilar shares her process in creating a 3 part episode 300 for the 21st Century Work Life podcast. This is another solo episode, but I've started interviewing again. And I have you, the listeners to thank for this. In voicing in the last episode my inability or reluctance, to reach out to podcasters I wanted to talk to, I realised how silly that was, so I reached out to one of my favourite podcasters, he replied within minutes, and I'm recording with him in June! 04.10 mins Yo...

In this episode, he talks to Pilar about using podcasting to find your voice, and giving voice to others. (And we even have an owl say hello.) Bernie started podcasting because he loved listening to podcasts and was also a fan of talk radio. He set up his first show and thought that it would be great to have Seth Godin on the show. So he invited him and guess what, he interviewe...

Just finished editing the bumper episode of Gastronostalgia which incorporates the 4 episodes from the month, plus the aperitif. The episode is 1.5hrs long (!) and it took me about 2.5hrs to put together, including editing of the aperitif. This show is hosted on Buzzsprout (affiliate link) and I have a max. of 3hours in my plan. But Gastronostalgia is hosted in Anchor, which is free, with no limits. So something to check out when you're choosing a media host: how much audio can you upload a mont...
