E39 - Give And It Will Be Given Back To You - Help A Podcaster Out

Episode 39 - Give And It Will Be Given Back To You - Help A Podcaster OutIn this episode of The How to Podcast Series, Dave reflects on the holiday season and the shift from wanting to receive to choosing to give. Using childhood memories of writing wish lists and mailing them to family, he draws a parallel between gift giving and the way podcasters often ask listeners, guests, and communities for support without always offering the same in return.Dave shares a personal story from his background in theology and community work with police and young people, showing how his experience shaped his belief in serving others first. That perspective leads into the episode’s central message: podcasters should be active participants in the podcasting community by rating shows, leaving reviews, sharing episodes, sending messages, and supporting fellow creators before expecting those actions from their own audience.The episode is both a holiday reflection and a practical challenge. Dave encourages listeners to think about how they can give value to others through their time, attention, encouragement, and resources. He reminds podcasters that generosity should not be seasonal or transactional, but a consistent mindset that helps build stronger connections and a healthier podcasting culture.Key takeaway: Give first, serve others sincerely, and make support for fellow podcasters part of your regular habit, not just something you ask for in return.___https://howtopodcast.ca/
