What Job Are You Hiring Your Podcast to Do for You?

from Talking The Talk: A Podcast About Podcasting with Courtney Reimer

If your answer is simply "be a podcast," we need to talk. If you treat your podcast as just a feed to be fed with episodes, lather, rinse, repeat, you're missing out all that a podcast can do for you and your mission or business. Your podcast is like a wildly overqualified employee...one that deserves to have an actual job description (or, ideally, several). Because once you know what you're hiring your podcast to do, it can help lighten the load of the decisions and actions the world asks you to make and take you every day.  And if you know what your podcast is supposed to do, it can help you also figure out what it doesn't have to do (cough cough full-on slick video production).  ABOUT THE SHOW Talking the Talk: A Podcast About Podcasting helps entrepreneurs, founders, creators, and business owners create podcasts that work harder than they do to earn their keep. Host Courtney Reimer explores how to build a show that creates trust, builds your business, remains sustainable, and delivers a meaningful return on what you invest into it.
