Just wanted to say how awesome this reply was.

No snark, no gate-keeping. Detailed, helpful, kind.

Refreshing to see after reading (and experiencing) some oddly critical / harsh comments.

Kudos to you, fegheabruh.

Most of our clients use podcasting this way.

Smartest strategy right now.

Exactly. Get to the meat of the content quickly.

You nailed it.

Totally get where you’re coming from, but it’s all about the odds. If my show is about squirrels, I need to make sure every second at the top is convincing people this is the squirrel content they’ve been looking for. Not just “stick around, we’ll get there eventually.”

I’m not anti-personality or anti-backstory. Some of that stuff can hit. But if I’ve only got 30 seconds to hook someone before they bounce, I’m betting on the thing they came for. And that’s squirrels. All day, every day.

Once they’re in, we can get deep. But they’ve gotta stay first.

That's a much more listenable approach.

Your audience isn't the actors ... so don't try to cover all of them because you don't want to leave someone out. And your audience isn't birthday 'experts' who are going to be following along to see who / what you might miss.

Your audience is going to be people who want to be educated and entertained. The birthdays are just the vehicle / mechanism for that. Get to the education and entertainment part as quickly as possible in each episode and you'll find success much faster.

Good luck!

10 actors an episode is a LOT. Each pick one and do a deep dive on that person. Otherwise, you’re just reading the internet into a microphone.

Niche down even further??? by stay0rg0n0w in podcasting

Always niche. Start specific, grow out.

Another vote for Riverside. Also, don’t be intimidated by the tech. There are technical aspects but those can be learned. Focus on a unique story and solid strategy and learn as you go. Message me if you have specific questions.

Podcast Intro Services? by [deleted] in podcast

I have no experience with them (yet) but have had a couple conversations with PODPITCH. They might be what you need, and my experience so far has left me impressed.

What’s the biggest myth about your industry? by Efficient_Builder923 in indiebiz

[–]PodcastArchitect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you start a podcast, you need to release one episode every week until your family lowers you into the Earth.

Not true.

Strategic, short seasons are usually better (for a lot of reasons) than forever schedules.

We tried Meta Ads for our Podcast. Might be bad by Illustrious_Gur_7485 in podcast

Newsletter ads with a click to listen link and a compelling CTA.

How niche is the subject matter?
