What is a Podcast? (Part 5)

Welcome to Hot Topics! Gabrielle Crichlow talks to guest Chris Smith about podcasting - what is it, how it works, and why it is so popular.Who is Chris Smith?Chris Smith is the co-host of the Kris and Kristine Show Podcast (http://www.krisandkristineshow.com), which launched in the summer of 2019 with his then-girlfriend Kristine. Initially, the podcast had no specific niche or purpose and was started as a fun activity on Saturday nights, discussing life experiences and newsworthy articles. Around Episode 20, they upgraded their equipment, making recording more accessible, and soon after, they hosted their first remote guest interview using Cleanfeed (http://www.cleanfeed.net). The Kris and Kristine Show began featuring regular guest interviews, and their audio quality received positive feedback from other podcasters. This inspired Chris to launch a second podcast, Podtastic Audio (http://www.podtasticaudio.com), in early 2021, aimed at helping other podcasters achieve good sound quality without expensive gear. Podtastic Audio quickly became well-respected within the podcast community, frequently ranking high on GoodPods charts, particularly in the Education/Courses category. Chris has been a radio fan for over 20 years, and, in addition to his podcasts, he launched his radio station, K2 Radio, which plays his favorite music live 24/7 and features clips from The Kris and Kristine Show and guest appearances. On K2 Radio, Chris engages with guests by playing their favorite songs live and discussing them in real time during K2 Radio Sessions.You can find Chris Smith:On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pacificsmith24Podtastic AudioOn the web: https://podtasticaudio.com/On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podtasticaudio/On Threads: https://www.threads.net/@podtasticaudioOn Twitter: https://twitter.com/PodtasticAThe Kris and Kristine ShowOn the web: https://www.krisandkristineshow.comOn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/k2showsandiegoOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thek2showsandiegoOn Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/k2showsandiegoK2 RADIOhttps://live365.com/station/K2-RADIO-a04551Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/beKSNFslHqURate this episode on IMDB: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt33073682/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk********************************************Follow Gabrielle Crichlow: On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gabrielle.crichlowOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabrielle.crichlowOn LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielle-crichlow-92587a360Follow A Step Ahead Tutoring Services:On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astepaheadtutoringservicesOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astepaheadtutoringservicesOn X: https://www.twitter.com/ASATS2013 On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a-step-ahead-tutoring-services/On YouTube: https://youtube.com/@astepaheadtutoringservicesOn TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@asats2013On Eventbrite: https://astepaheadtutoringservices.eventbrite.com Visit us on the web: https://www.astepaheadtutoringservices.com   Sign up for our email list: https://squareup.com/outreach/a41DaE/subscribe Sign up for our text list: https://tapit.us/cipPJO Check out our entire "Hot Topics!" podcast: https://www.astepaheadtutoringservices.com/hottopicspodcastSupport us:Cash App: https://cash.app/$ASATS2013PayPal: https://paypal.me/ASATS2013Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/ASATS2013Zelle: [email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hot-topics--5600971/supportOriginal date of episode: November 6, 2022
