Making Your Podcast Brand Stronger - PTC Episode 024

Making Your Podcast Brand Stronger Review your show on a regular basis. Actually listen like a listener. That is the only way to improve. Many hosts finish recording a show and think, “That was pretty good. What’s next?” They might recreate parts of the show in their head to determine what might make the show better next time. Usually, there isn’t much time spent actually reviewing a show. There are so many other duties to handle. It’s on to the next thing, which is probably editing, posting, and promoting the show. In order to make your podcast better, you need to spend quality time listening to the show. Play it back. Grab a pad of paper and write down the parts that jump out at you. Jot down the “oh wow” moments. Take note of the sections that didn’t work exactly as you planned. In this episode, we cover the questions outlined in the Podcast Talent Coach Show Review Worksheet.  Those questions include: What did you hope to accomplish on this show?  Did you succeed? How did you make the audience care? Where were the “oh wow” moments? Where were the surprises? What were the powerful words you used? What did you like about the show? What was memorable about the show? What worked? What could have been better? How did you position the story from the listener's point of view? How did you include the listener, making them part of the story? At what points did you introduce and reset the show/topic? How did it appear you were prepared for every element? What did you reveal about yourself to help foster the relationship with the audience? What stories did you tell? What details did you use that were spectacular and visual? Where did you use active language?  (walking instead of walked, eating, not ate) What crutches do you use that need to be removed? What is your plan to make tomorrow better?
