Pod-Crashing Episode 16 Know Why You Want To Do It

Pod-Crashing Episode 16: Know Why You Want To Do It Shaking hands with the future without getting a good look at who it is I’ve just met. That’s how I describe this lifestyle. If you aren’t prepared to let it consume your every thought and time schedule it probably wouldn’t be a good idea to start. I recently had this conversation with a well-known and highly respected movie critic who wasted no time telling me that he prefers to be a guest on podcasts without ever having to host them. Here’s th...

Pod-Crashing Episode 15 Posting Times

Episode 15: Posting Times With so much attention being spent on delivering weekly episodes, podcasting has taken its first true step toward scheduled programming. Legendary talkers and performers might disagree saying they’ve been doing it for years. Which I won’t argue with until we bring in today’s newer shapes and shades of podcast listeners. It’s not about leaping over to iTunes to lap up a few thoughts then spit out a reaction. Podcast episodes are found everywhere but does your chosen plat...

Pod-Crashing Episode 14 It Sounds Like A Podcast

Episode 14: It Sounds Like A Podcast So many different types of people have dominated the presence of terrestrial radio. The two most common are the sound perfectionists and those who bring the performance no matter how messy the background. Podcasting’s totally rewritten the rules on what is or isn’t broadcast quality. I love it when Conan O’Brien sits in the back of an airplane and pulls off a lengthy conversation. The roar of the jet in the background makes me feel like I’m sitting in the sea...

Pod-Crashing Episode 13 Podcast Stigmas

Episode 13: Podcast Stigmas Bill Burr was one of Conan O’Brian’s early guests on this newfangled thing called Podcasting. Conan was extremely interested in why Bill’s never put heavy duty focus on having guests on the show. Without a blink in the moment the reply was heard, “I don’t want to deal with people that call you up at the last minute asking to move the show to a different day.” Oh, I’ve been on that airplane ride. It’s a dull ache of reality sitting in your stomach. The show prep and ti...

Pod-Crashing Episode 12 What Makes You Original On The Over Saturated Stage

Episode 12: What Makes You Original On The Over Saturated Stage? You know what’s fun about doing this Pod-Crashing thing? It’s about being real. Having a generic attitude of community rather than burying yourself inside the four walls of a major conglomeration trying to dominate a ratings war. I’ve been there. Oh the stress. The endless amount of meetings that normally went nowhere except to agree to meeting again next week. It was never my career. It was their music, liner cards and listener gi...

Pod-Crashing Episode 11 When Will The Newness Wear Off

Episode 11: When Will The Newness Wear Off? With iHeart Radio claiming to have 250,000 podcasts and Spotify announcing they want to be the Netflix of podcasting. The one time hidden away not always talked about rap sessions are quickly becoming a global fashion. When you talk to those labeled pioneers, they’ll tell you that even I was amazingly late getting into the groove. That was 2012. Back when the decision makers in radio knew I was up to something in the production room but they couldn’t f...

Pod-Crashing Episode 10 How Real Is Too Real

Episode Nine: How Real Is Too Real? I find myself laughing at how sterilized radio and television people continue to be inside this world of reality this and Big Brother that. Incredibly entertaining was Game of Thrones getting busted twice this season for not properly clearing the set of modern day water bottles and more. Some have said that was done on purpose because when the masters of the craft make mistakes a lot of free press pushes a show forward. There are several different shapes and s...

Pod-Crashing Episode 9 Does Anybody Know What Time It Is

Does anybody really know what time it is? No matter how focused you feel as a writer, voice over talent, radio personality or every day average Joe, is there such a thing as Time within the scattered limits of a podcast? Time is a huge subject. In more ways than one! The time it takes to prep a show, to the time the PR department demands as to when the show will hit the air. What about the time required for post-production? Social networking time and the amazing amount of time you spend telling ...

Pod-Crashing Episode 8 Ten Reasons Why People Stop Podcasting

Ten Reasons Why People Stop Podcasting Four times a year I’m blessed with the opportunity to spend two weeks lecturing on the importance of not only creating but maintaining a solid podcast vision. Seems pretty easy right. Latch onto a USB microphone or four. Hook it up to lap top. Tap into Adobe Audition, Garage Band or utilize the free recording systems on Anchor.fm and Spreaker. Invite the friends over and start talking. Yeah, that’s pretty much how a lot of podcasts start. Seems like a prett...

Pod-Crashing Episode 7 Who Owns The Show

Who Owns Your Podcast? The more popular podcasting gets and the more money that’s generated ownership of the show or shows is going to become a bigger issue. Not only on the digital server circuit but radio and television companies that are enforcing talent to begin a journey through this ever changing atmosphere of free talk. Which should be a serious eye opener for the talent. All of that planning, performing, producing and promoting looks good on the site but look deeper into the plan you sig...

Pod-Crashing Episode 3 The Unlucky Seven Dark Spot

I call it The Unlucky Seven Dark Spot… Seven seems to be the magical number that newcomer podcasters reach before they move onto something a little less time consuming. The first few shows everybody’s checking out your brand new vibe. The analytics are popping which makes you feel great about you create. By the time you get the gang back together for show number 8, someone’s got a new reason to spoil the season. They can’t make it because they aren’t feeling it to man I can’t get a babysitter. W...

Pod-Crashing Episode 2 Here Come The Politicians

I’m quite anxious about the future of podcasting as we grow closer to the 2020 U.S. Presidential election. The majority of today’s Broadcast outlets are owned and operated by huge corporations controlling the world of news. Yeah, I said it. Radio and television are connected to ratings and those making the decisions and or consulting do all they can to keep the line of content communication focused what the company supports and delivers. Right now we’re seeing the largest number of Democrats ann...

Pod-Crashing Episode 4 Can We Please Get Along

The one thing I’ve noticed since the inception of Podcast is the amazing amount of egos that drive this digital ship. Now I see why radio and television finally decided to hire program directors and consultants. When it comes to podcasting, everybody has their point of direction. I get that lets not rip down the house we’re trying to build by throwing people under the bus. The best way to get into a professional wrestling cage match without joining the WWE is to walk up to another Podcaster and ...

Pod-Crashing Episode 5 Why Podcasting Is Breaking Down Doors

Why podcasting is beginning to crack concrete and slip beneath the door. It’s your voice. Your emotions. Your interests. Your drive to push a conversation further than the typical Tweet or Facebook Live post. There’s a lot to be said about listening to a conversation that isn’t connected to facial features. I get it. I like videos just like everybody else. If we’re comparing a podcast to Facebook Live quality plays a huge role in how it’s getting to your ears. I love Suzanne Summers and totally ...

Pod-Crashing Episode 1 Content Is The Work On The Hook

The one thing I’ve learned about being a published author is that when the bug bites the desire to write intensifies. Hosting a podcast is no different. It breaks down into shows, not channels but shows with episodes. Coming from radio I program 9 shows with exclusive features that draw listeners closer to the content driven connection. It is my daily goal to never host the same episode twice. The push is to be faithful to every listener. I know the niche. Originality feeds the niche. Every morn...

Pod-Crashing Episode 6 You're Hired

You’re already hired… I’ve said it a few hundred times, “You have the power of choice in your heart. Compete with an unheard of list of unemployed radio and television people for one or two jobs or pick up pod or pad-casting.” If that becomes the next step in Broadcasting your real job isn’t hosting the show, it’s running the operation. You’re the talent, head of promotions, program director, general manager, sales staff and production guru. All with no budget and no monetary pay. At least for n...
