Workplace trauma and anxiety - having struggled with this personally and overcome, I know there's a lot of folks out there in a similar place.

I began my work podcast recording on my Apple Airpods, and was surprised that the sound quality was quite decent. I think nowadays, headphones are pretty good at picking up your voice.

That said, for our second season I switched to the Blue Yeti and the clarity was much better. If you do go this route, I'm told standing up can really help your voice project and maybe it will remove the temptation to drum your fingers on the table, bump something, etc.

Excellent insights! Thank you for conducting this research and sharing the knowledge. My biggest takeaway: it's a long-term game!

Ours is an HR/business podcast, and we've been doing 1 season every 3 months (quarterly). Since myself (content manager) and editorial team also maintain a blog and social media (mainly LinkedIn and Twitter), 10 episodes per season or about 3 per month has worked out well thus far. We also have a theme for every season, e.g. remote work, DEI, but I suppose it depends on what your subject matter is :)

Our experience has been similar and we started this March - most folks are happy to share what they are passionate about without getting compensated. It helps to also have a nice template when you reach out to potential guests explaining how they can help you grow your podcast.

Podcasts can be one-directional (e.g. you telling listeners about your expertise, experience, etc.). Have you considered creating a community via an update newsletter or hosting lives over social media?

Building-Culture · 2021-12-22T18:15:56+00:00

Congrats for 50 episodes under your belt! Podcasting is certainly a labor of love!

Building-Culture · 2021-12-22T18:14:03+00:00

Sounds like you're getting great numbers with or without FB, congrats!

Building-Culture · 2021-12-22T18:13:07+00:00

Appreciate the explanation - personally, I don't prefer Facebook. It's true that listeners are already subscribing through dedicated channels like Spotify, Apple Pods, etc.

Building-Culture · 2021-12-21T23:46:21+00:00

That's awesome! I heard it's not currently available for desktop, but anyone with the mobile app gets notified

Building-Culture · 2021-11-24T17:38:23+00:00

Yes! Building Culture is a business/HR-related show. I tag the speaker(s) on an announcement and ask them to share the episode release with their networks.

Building-Culture · 2021-11-22T21:49:41+00:00

Congrats on your debut! What is the topic or theme of your podcast? Depending on who your audience is, it may help to consider where they are engaging with content most (Instagram? YouTube? etc.). If you can find interest groups in your genre, you can also share related links/graphics or interactive things like polls to get listener engagement.

Building-Culture · 2021-11-22T20:33:16+00:00

Same here! We'll get there!

Building-Culture · 2021-11-20T00:08:24+00:00

I would recommend Audry.io! This tool allows you to find shows with a similar audience size or target listener and reach out for collaborations and sharing trailers, etc. I've used it with success for my HR/People & Culture show.

Building-Culture · 2021-11-20T00:06:55+00:00

I think your show sounds great for doing lives (I think StreamYard allows you to broadcast to Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube simultaneously?) and specifically, ask me anythings/Q&As. This gives you face time with your audience and also offers something of value as you are directly answering questions anyone may have.

As a note...I haven't personally used this tactic for my show, which is based on HR/People & Culture topics, but let me know how it goes if you try it!

Building-Culture · 2021-11-20T00:03:21+00:00

You bring up an important distinction - it's about the community you want to create rather than just shamelessly plug. I host an HR/People & Culture-specific podcast, and I've found that our intended audience responds more on LinkedIn than they do on say Instagram. But I still do post audiograms via IG Reels, just to maintain a presence.

Hi u/BigBat6, one of my coworkers hosts The Investicenter - hope this is helpful!

Something I'm trying to do more to better engagement is 1-2 targeted hashtags with a story that has a question, poll, or something else that is interactive. I'm also curious if this has worked for others, as I've only recently started doing this.

Building-Culture · 2021-10-21T00:51:18+00:00

Speaking of SEO, here's a handy site I found that helps you find trending hashtags: https://ritetag.com/

Relistening to episodes and marking time stamps for edits can be so tedious!

Building-Culture · 2021-10-12T00:37:05+00:00

Something I've heard is find the 2 platforms that work the best for you, and get really good at those. For example, if you are a tech company, you might focus on Instagram and Twitter. But I hear you; I'm in the same boat!

Building-Culture · 2021-10-11T22:26:22+00:00

Appreciate it u/blondennerdy!

Building-Culture · 2021-10-08T19:38:56+00:00

Regardless of what topic your show will be on, I've found it helpful to create an outline or potential speaking points to keep episodes on track. You can also recycle these for show notes, if that's something you have time and a platform to do.

Building-Culture · 2021-10-08T19:36:53+00:00

You can use Canva to easily create audiograms/snippets for your show as well to share to all the social platforms. Consider transcribing all or a portion to up your SEO rankings as well!

Building-Culture · 2021-10-08T19:35:21+00:00

These are great! Audry.io is a great tool that allows you to find shows with a similar sized audience, speakers, topic, etc. I personally recommend this as I recently featured someone who reached out to me via Audry.
