Recently, I had the privilege of appearing on a panel discussion entitled, “How to Create a Phenomenal Guest Experience”, which was part of  Podthon '21 - a two-day virtual event where podcasts can learn from and connect with thought leaders, in the podcasting community. 

In this episode, I'm going to share part of that panel discussion focused on what podcast hosts look for. My fellow panel members are Bethany Hawkins of the Chatting over Chowder podcast and Lucas Eggan of the LAN parties podcast. Whether you're a podcast host or would like to be a guest on podcasts, there is something in this conversation for you.

If you like listening to podcasts or audiobooks at an accelerated speed, then you'll probably know that most podcast apps and audiobook apps allow you to listen to speeds of up to 3x that which was recorded, sometimes even higher. Video apps don't make this as easy. While Youtube has a speed controller, it's hidden and cumbersome to turn on.

In this episode, I'll share three tools that allow you to speed up most videos, so that you can watch them in a fraction of the time that they'd take at recorded speed. These tools are all Chrome extensions - ideo Speed Controller, Enhancer for YouTube and Vimeo repeat & speed

Recently I joined Blake Fleischacker on his Facebook Live Channel, Blake Fly. 

Blake is on a mission to do a thousand Facebook lives daily. He is an expert in hosting people on his live shows. We enjoyed a wonderful conversation about how podcasting can build sustainable visibility and deep connection and give you permission to speak with everyone; how to find your dream audience and going on virtual speaking tours via podcasting.

Listen to the podcast for some excerpts of our conversation.

One of the most valuable tools to keep online communications more human is video. The ability to quickly record a video, rather than type an email, allows me to share what I'm doing on screen in a visual way, making it easier to explain things and also lets me appear on camera to make the message personal.

In this episode, 'll share two tools that allow you to do just that quickly and easily - Loom and VMaker.

Recently I had the privilege of being a guest on Miha Matlievki's LinkedIn Live show - Coffee Conversations with Miha, to talk about making podcasting human again. I thought that was such a valuable conversation that I'd take some tidbits from it and share them in this episode.

In this conversation with Miha, we talk about the mindset you need to succeed in podcasting. We talked about connecting with your host if you are the guest, with the guest if you are a podcast host, and with the audience. We talked about knowing your ideal audience, who you can help with your message, and we talked about growing your podcast audience.

Let’s listen to parts of that conversation.
