Podcast Morons #7
Thank you for listening, if you enjoy our show, please let your friends/listeners know about us.
Congrats to Matt and Aaron for both of their shows making it to one year!
News
1. Nokia has introduced a phone that supports podcasting. This is one of the first phones to offer podcast support directly in the phone’s menu system. Palm has announced a recent upgrade to their OS will also support podcasting.
2. Trypod announces they will be doing a network wide promotion for the month of May called Trading Podcasters. Each show on Trypod’s network will have a show during the month that will feature a different cohost. You can read more about it at Trypodnetwork.com.
3. Sorry to say but Podcast Pickle did not win in the webby awards but it is always an honor to be nominated.
4. And sorry but we can’t ignore this, a company called PopXpress has announced they will carry an Ipod Bra. The bra will feature the ability to connect to your ipod and controls will be built into the fabric. So next time you try to feel up your wife, hopefully you won’t blow her ears out by touching the volume controls.
Question of the week...or two
Should you tell your family that you podcast? A lot of people do shows without their family knowing a thing about it, should you tell people about it, or keep things on the d/l?
5 tips for doing for changing things up on your show
1. Don’t go crazy. If you feel like your show needs some tweaking, you’re probably right but doing a overhaul of your entire show isn’t always a great idea. Some shows like Cheap Date can pull it off, others have taken away some of the best parts.
2. Let someone who’s never listened to the show give it a fair and critical listen. Often someone who knows nothing about your show can offer the best insights.
3. Make your changes fun for the audience. Do things like change up your segments, add a contest element, put in interviews…..etc. Just make your changes to the benefit of your audience.
4. Don’t be afraid to continue to make changes. Keeping things fresh and new makes it fun for your listeners, and it might make things fun for you too.
5. Make sure your changes don’t end up being a copy of another show. How many American Idol updates segments does podcasting need? Check around and make sure you’re not just following the crowd. Being a trendsetter is how to keep your audience hooked.
