If having a good story is essential in a podcast how do you actually do that? It’s not as easy as it sounds. Episode 8 is all about the story. Is there a chance that by focusing too much on a good story you could lose all your spontaneity too?

Ep7 – How to find the time for all this
It’s all well and good Gimlet Academy telling us how to make a hit show but when are we ever going to find the time to do what they suggest?
In this episode I look at the problems and a tool to help solving one of these straight away.
Ep6 – Can Gimlet Academy help me crack the hit podcast secret code?
One of the world’s big podcast production companies has revealed their secrets in a podcast series on Spotify. I’ve listened to the entire series. In this episode, I review some of the key lessons which also transforms my approach.
Cracking the Hit Podcast CODE using the Gimlet Academy
One of the biggest podcast production companies (Gimlet media) have revealed their secrets in a podcast series. What’s the secret?
Ep5 – How to grab people’s attention from the first word?
How do podcasters hook you into listening to their episode. The principle is much like a sales pitch. So how do they do it and what are their techniques. In this episode I take a look. (Click to listen)
Ep4 – Don’t listen to what they say, look at what they do
Don’t listen to what I say, look at what I do. It’s a mantra that we should all pay attention to. Instead of reading advice, analyse what others are doing. That’s what I did to try and find out the type of podcasts which would become hits by analysing what other big production companies were making.
Ep3 – Get the logo right before recording anything
Stop stop. Don’t record anything until you’ve listened to this because I’ve realised this week that a podcast logo is almost more important than the audio.

So how do you make sure they do? What lessons can we learn this week?
Ep2 – No really….don’t quit podcasting!
Drink coffee, set big goals, small goals? Think big, think small? How do you make sure you don’t quit podcasting. I was about to yet again as I explained last week. This is week two where I test out techniques to avoid podcast on myself and here’s the thing… the techniques are working?
If you are a podcaster facing podfade or thinking of quitting, or you are about to set up a podcast, then these techniques could make the difference between success and failure. Let me explain in 13 minutes which techniques I’ve found actually work.
Ep1 – Podfade. It’s the point where you give up. How to avoid it.
The reality is if you start a podcast, you are likely to stop after 8-10 episodes. Don’t think it’ll happen to you? Then just check the statistics. So how do you stop it?
I’m on a mission to make a hit podcast which is sustainable along with a full time job, with no production company or support. Can it be done.
In this episode I’m starting with tackling a problem I’ve dealt with myself multiple times.
I want you to avoid podfade. Join me as I start to investigate the solution.
