This sounds counterintuitive, doesn’t it? It is actually one of the building blocks of creating a successful podcast show, especially if you’ve been feeling uninspired or have felt your show isn’t growing the way you would have hoped. Contrary to popular belief, being consistent isn’t essential for a successful show, it is actually knowing when and how to take a break. Taking a break could be the difference between creating a podcast that is unfulfilling and has you in the negatives or creating an exciting 7 figure podcast business! On today’s episode, our host Kevin Chemidlin educates us on how to create a strategy around taking a break. Kevin presents 5 criteria that are proven to help in understanding whether or not to take a break and how to measure each criteria. If all data points point to yes, then it’s time to determine what type of break to take. Yes, all breaks aren’t the same. Do you shut everything down and go on vacation to Hawaii, do you use the break to hunker down to create a new game plan for your podcast, or a little bit of both? Kevin walks us through each criteria and more to help you decide if it is time for a hiatus that can help accelerate your podcast and avoid burnout. You don’t want to miss this one. Topics discussed in this episode: How consistency wasn’t the answer for Kevin’s first podcast “Philly Who” What happened when Kevin decided to take a break Reimagining the show while taking a break Creating room for new ideas The 5 criteria: A,B,C,D,E How to measure each criteria to make the decision to keep going or to take a break Combining the criteria to decide on two break scenarios 3 pitfalls of taking a break How to avoid these pitfalls Fears around taking a break The hack that will allow you to make money while taking a break Why consistency alone will not make your podcast successful Head to the Grow The Show website here for more information on how you can grow and monetize your podcast.

Today I'm answering a question that I get a lot: How can entertainment-only podcasts grow their audience and monetize? I'll admit— I usually focus this show on "how to" podcasts because they can be easier to grow and monetize. However, that doesn't mean that the techniques I teach here can't still be applied to an entertainment-style show. In fact, the strategies I teach here can be equally as effective for entertainment shows. The main difference is HOW the tactics are applied and how you prioritize your time. Today, I'm going to address the similarities and differences between business podcasts and entertainment podcasts. By the end of the episode, you'll know exactly how to apply my strategies to your entertainment podcast. And, you'll have a list of the things you need to prioritize for growth and monetization success.

Work with me (done-for-you growth): Apply to the Grow The Show Accelerator Watch the FREE Grow The Show Masterclass to learn Kevin's four steps to growing a thriving podcast business! -- Have you ever noticed that people who don't have podcasts seem to think that podcasting is really easy? Here at Grow The Show, we like to say that making a podcast is easy, but making a good podcast is really hard. However, there is a reason people who don't know better think that what we do is effortless. That's because the best podcasters make their shows sound smooth and natural. It sounds just like two people having a really good, interesting, and funny conversation. Even though it sounds effortless, it actually takes a ton of work to make a podcast episode sound completely natural. Today, we’re joined by NPR producer and host Lauren Migaki who is going to teach us how to do just that. If you’re looking to produce a high-quality, natural-sounding podcast as efficiently as possible, then join us for this week’s episode of Grow The Show.

Do you even have a website for your podcast? What does it look like? When someone searches for your podcast on Google, does your podcast website show up first? How much time and money do you spend on the design, upkeep, and maintenance of your podcast website? What I've found is that most podcasters fall into one of two camps regarding their podcast website: They are either completely overwhelmed, have virtually no website presence, and don't even know the first place to start, Or, the opposite is true, and they've actually spent TOO MUCH TIME developing their website and SEO. Whether you are in either of those camps or maybe you're somewhere in between, this episode of Grow The Show is going to help. That's because today we're joined by Brenden Mulligan, the creator of PodPage, which is an easy podcast website creation platform kinda like Squarespace, but easier, and designed specifically for podcasters.

22 | How to Make Your Podcast Recording Setup Sound More Professional, With Rockwell Felder
Work with me (done-for-you growth): Apply to the Grow The Show Accelerator Watch the FREE Grow The Show Masterclass to learn Kevin's four steps to growing a thriving podcast business! -- How professional does your podcast sound? What recording software do you use? Do you record your podcast in a closet? Should you upgrade your equipment? What's the best mic, at the best price? I get questions about these things from podcasters all the time. And I haven't really answered them much, because, in most cases, podcasters need to focus more on their content and premise than their equipment. But, it's true, sound quality is indeed important. And, it's actually way easier - and cheaper! - than you think to have a really professional-sounding podcast. In fact, when I recorded the first 30 episodes of Philly Who?, I did it with two $98 SM58 mics, that's it! No studio, no $400 mic. I literally just carried the two mics in my backpack and recorded the interviews in random conference rooms. Yet, the most common feedback I got back then was how professional the show sounded. So, how is it done? How can you get top-notch recording quality, anywhere, on a budget? Today Rockwell Felder is here to break down the answers. Rockwell is the Co-Founder and CFO of Squadcast, a remote recording software platform for podcasters. On this episode of Grow The Show, he is going to talk about how you can get crisp, high-quality podcast audio, without spending a fortune on complicated equipment or state-of-the-art studio time. In fact, with just a few adjustments, and the right technique, you can have professional-sounding audio by the next time you sit down to record!
