085 - Podcasting and Livestreaming Tips and Techniques in 2025: Stand Out, Repurpose, and Grow Your Audienc (Part2)

Send us Fan MailPodcasting and livestreaming are more than just hitting record—they’re about strategy, engagement, and adaptation.Explore how these platforms are evolving in 2025, and how creators can leverage video, repurpose content, and improve audio quality to maximize reach and build long-term audience engagement.In this episode, I share clips from January's Mavens Talk, a monthly audio event I co-host with my friend and colleague Gillian Whitney, Live Stream Strategist / Book Author where we discussed podcasting and livestreaming. ➡️ Our mutual friend, Michelle B. Griffin, joined us for this part of this episode.Topics included:🔹 AI’s Growing Role in Podcasting & Content Creation - AI tools like Descript, ChatGPT, and automated audiograms are making podcast production easier. Podfest featured an entire track on AI, including creating AI-powered assistants for podcasting.🔹 Repurposing Content to Save Time - Recording solo podcast episodes on video allows for easier repurposing into clips, transcripts, and social content. Tools like Riverside and Buzzsprout’s transcript feature help streamline this process.🔹 The Value (or Lack) of Show Notes & Transcripts - Some podcasters, like Amy Porterfield, emphasize show notes for driving traffic. Others question how many listeners actually read them and whether they provide an SEO benefit.🔹Podcast & Livestream Cross-Promotion -  Many podcasters repurpose livestreams into podcast episodes, making content creation more efficient. Numbering episodes and embedding podcasts in LinkedIn articles can improve discoverability.🔹 The Fun & Flexibility of Co-Hosting or Panel-Style Podcasts - Having a co-host or panel discussion (like Media Mavens) makes podcasts more dynamic and engaging. These formats allow for spontaneity, deeper conversations, and audience participation. 🔷If you're ready to stop thinking about video and start doing it, the next session of my Smarter, Faster, Fun Video Bootcamp starts in July.  OR visit SFFVideoBootcamp.comJoin me in The Lab on Substack, my space to test, tweak, and share smart ideas worth chasing, especially around video, content strategy, and showing up online without burning out (or wasting your weekends) Click Here📌 When you’re ready to make creating engaging social media videos a priority, I offer 1:1 coaching and done-with-you video services. 😉 Click Here *********************************************➡️ Need more?
