Ep 113The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
Description: The Embodiment Coaching PodcastA twice-weekly conversational offering for coaches, embodiment teachers and anyone who sees the body as more than a hunk of meat.Embodiment Unlimited hosts Mark Walsh, Karin Van Maan and Christina Dohr interview leaders and innovators from embodied disciplines. Mindfulness, trauma therapy, martial arts, meditation, somatics, yoga, and movement practices generally, are all discussed, with educators, academics and experts from around the world. The flavour is usually light-hearted and practical.Website:www.embodimentunlimited.comTakeaways: The podcast review emphasizes the importance of knowing your podcast's purpose and audience. They mentioned networking but later said they would judge their success by gaining more business. Audio quality is crucial; a muddy introduction can deter potential listeners significantly. All the pre-recorded spots needed improvement. Networking through podcasting can be as valuable as achieving high download numbers. Hosts should strive for engaging dialogue rather than a formal question-answer format. Clear calls to action are essential for directing listeners to your offerings effectively. Using storytelling effectively can enhance listener engagement during interviews and discussions. We both thought things "picked up about 13 minutes when you got to a topic that inspired a little more passion in the guest, and the conversation became a little more conversational and casual.The courage to talk about some topics that people may shy away from was a positive step. People love opinions, and living of fear of upsetting people is no way to live. There is a name for those people, "Not your target audience."The website would look better with the newer version of the Libsyn player. The follow buttons could be a bit more uniform and update date. The website has a lot of options and was organized in a way that kept some white space. There are a fair number of options for navigation, and you might consider moving some of those to a sub-menu to avoid paralysis by analysis.

Ep 112Steve and Jeff Show reviewed
The description of the Steve and Jeff show in Apple is, "Comedy, Improvisation, and strange, but cool interviews, are all bundled into one weekly podcast. Steve and Jeff have been friends for more than 50 years, funny since 2022. Enjoy the "Malk Show" (mock talk show) and visit www.steveandjeff.com to find out more.www.steveandjeff.com"What we Liked About the ShowThe type of humour came quickly and let you identify is "this was for you" or not. You kept that style of humor throughout the episode.The format of conducting mock interviews with quirky, everyday characters played by local improvisers provided a fresh and engaging approach to podcasting, which Dave and Erik found both innovative and entertaining.The long-standing friendship between Jeff and Steve translated well into their on-air chemistry, making the interactions more natural and enjoyable for listeners.The premade mock commercials were some of the funniest parts of the show.What WE Thought Could Be ImprovedErik mentioned that the opening of the show lacks context and structure, which can lead to confusion for new listeners who might not immediately grasp what to expect from the show.Dave Jackson pointed out that improvements could be made to the podcast's website, especially in providing more descriptive text on the "About Us" page to enhance search engine optimization and accessibility.Dave pointed out that having the episodes on the website could boost SEO. It allows people to sample the show before following it, and it makes it easier to share an episode.It was recommended that a tagline or a concise description be used at the beginning of each episode to help clarify the show's content and provide immediate context to new listeners.Some sketches seemed to drag and could benefit from concise delivery and sharper punchlines to keep the audience engaged and entertained.Minimizing overly local references (or ensuring they are explained) could help them be more relatable to an international or non-local audience so as not to alienate listeners who might not understand specific regional humor.incorporate more structured calls to action, both at the beginning and the end of the podcast, possibly in a humorous manner that fits the show’s theme and effectively encourages listener engagement and conversion.Links to Steve and JeffThe Steve & Jeff Show on Buzzsprout - This is Steve and Jeff's buzzsprout pageThe Steve and Jeff Show Webiste - This is the main page for the Steve and Jeff ShowBe ReviewedCome polish your show and be reviewed by going to Podcast Review Show Connect with the HostsFind Erik at Podcast Talent Coach Find all things Dave at Power of Podcasting Network Learn to Podcast at School of Podcasting This show is hosted on This podcast is hosted by Captivate, try it yourself for free.

Ep 109Beyond Adversity with Dr. Brad Miller Reviewed
Dr. Brad Miller is writing a book and wanted to start building and audience so he launched the show Beyond Adversity with Dr. Brad Miller. His current description in Apple Podcasts is:Beyond Adversity with Dr. Brad Miller is all about the belief that every person has a God-given promised life of peace, prosperity, and purpose. And that you must implement a planned pathway with the proper people to quickly overcome adversity and depression to achieve that promised life. Dr. Brad Miller teaches practical strategies to defeat depression and live a life of joy as well as interviews successful people who have overcome great adversity to arrive at a place of peace, prosperity and purpose.His website is https://www.drbradmiller.com/What We Liked About ItThe intro had a nice vibe with the music. You introduced the guest before the intro clip so people had the context of who he was.You had a nice transition into the interview. The website has a nice clean look. The audio sounded good.You did a good job of promoting future episodes.What We Thought Needed TweakedYou introduced the guest multiple times. Once is all we need.Your guest somewhat ran away with the interview. Instead of making it a three-part interview, identify the key turning point, and get to that content as quickly as possible. Leave the rest on the editing room floor.While the guest fit one of your "D's" (Depression), the stakes weren't very high in a way that made me wonder, "What is going to happen next."Have a lead magnet for your newsletter. Give them a reason to sign up.The audio had some "interesting timing," which you later explained was caused by a cold.

Ep 108Metal Mayhem ROC
DescriptionPodcast Review Show – Get Your Podcast Reviewed Weekly podcast dedicated to supporting heavy metal music in every way possible. Hosted and produced by Jon “The Vernomatic ‘’ Verno, Metal Mayhem Roc presents a blend of feature interviews with heavy metal legends and stars of tomorrow. With in house created content like ”Streaming for Vengeance”, ” Mount Rushmore of Metal” ‘Metal Confessions” and the “Business of Metal “you, the listener, is left both educated and entertained.With an emphasis on presentation and professional industry audio imagery, Metal Mayhem ROC is your go-to source for everything metal.Website: https://www.metalmayhemroc.com/This is a Special EpisodeToday Jon "THE VERNOMATIC" Vernon paid to have us listen to TWO episodes of his show. Hence there is a bit more feedback, but also, at the end of every show the guest is allowed to ask as many questions as they want (which really adds value in addition to having two consultants at the same time) and Jon had some really good questions (and we kept them in). Also, the power went out as we were recording you won't hear Erik or Jon at the end. What We Liked About This EpisodesJon has just the right amount of energy on the microphone.Dave loved the trivia that had him learning new things.You all have passion for the subject.You did a great job of introducing the panel and getting to the topicThe intro leaves no doubt that this is a Metal showThe tease at the end of the show really left us wanting more.Erik found the story of the upstart record label fascinating.The artwork on the website is amazing.What We Thought Could Use Some PolishingOn the interview show, your tease gave away the whole storyThere was some tapping on the table(?) and of course, Dave caught the popping P's and ums.Dave found some of the details about the bands that he didn't know and didn't get to hear dull.The recap episode, it was very much like a Wikipedia entry. There are facts but no personalityMake your "blog" into the "listen" part of your website and embed the player from your media host. When you force feed people into an app (Spotify) that can rub people the wrong way. Embed a spotify player in the blog posts (making them "episodes) and then have links to subscribe to Apple, Spotify, Google, and Amazon in each episode (and maybe a page on your website to make it simple)There are times when you sound like you're doing radio (group speak, "Hey everybody") when people don't listen in groups. They listen in the car or in earbuds, etc. "Thanks for listening, I'm so glad you're here (singular). Inject your personalities into the show. Look at that Metal Show on VH1 Classic where they would have to compile a list. This pulls the audience in as they try to decide if they agree with you or not. You can do this without turning into endless arguments. Jon mentioned you had a timer.

One, a completely clear call to action.Great length. You said what you needed to say, and left.The "three things" is a great way to summarize the episode.Audio sounded great, and the musical branding was nice.What We Thought Might Need Some TweakingCraig scripts this show and for 90% of it, his reading is fine, but at times we need a little more smile, and some pauses. Some of the color choices on the website make it slightly hard to read in some places.Craig's old branding is on his mastodon community.Add a few more stories when you make a point (if possible)Maybe add a "so that you can" to the introPotentially add a specific question, "Have you ever done a little thing that ended up with big results?

Ep 106The Skeptic Metaphysicians
Today we are looking at the Skeptic Metaphysicians. Their description is, "Like Mulder from the X-Files, we want to believe. So we've embarked on a journey of discovery. We've talked to people deeply entrenched in the spiritual, metaphysical, mental health and self-help worlds. We've thrown ourselves into weird and wonderful experiences, and we're sharing them with you in an effort to find the trick to self-growth. Whether your interests lie in the metaphysical or the spiritual or even grounded in the three-dimensional world, this show will help you explore the endless possibilities of self-growth....tinged with a hint of the supernatural. New episodes every Wednesday!Check out their website at www.skepticmetaphysician.comWhat We Liked About the ShowSome really good questions were askedYou did a GREAT job of being skeptical without being cynical (a very safe space)You didn't interrupt the guest when they were in the thick of a storyWe loved your description of the showYou did a great job of stepping into the shoes of your guest.You take the show seriously but still kept it light.The website looks great using PodpageYour "final" answer showed vulnerability and was amazing.Great job explaining the roles (scientist) of the people involved.The podcast sounds great.What We Thought Needed TweakedWe loved your description, but it took a little long to get to that descriptionWho is Karen? (neither the episode or the website answered this question).You (in some cases) ask a question and add a description/backstory. Flip the content around and set up the question and ask the question last (so the guest hears the question last).Don't forget to use people's names when you have multiple hosts.Get comfortable with awkward pausesUse one call to action (and rotate if needed).

Welcome to 8th Layer Insights (8Li). This podcast is a multidisciplinary exploration into how the complexities of human nature affect security and risk. Author, security researcher, and behavior science enthusiast Perry Carpenter taps experts for their insights and illumination. Topics include cybersecurity, psychology, behavior science, communication, leadership, and moreWebsite: https://8thlayerinsights.com/Things You're Doing CorrectThe audio production is amazing.The sidekick of "Carl" was creativeAsked some really good questions and stayed out of the guest's way.As the episode isn't super long, the summaries at the end of a point signaled you were moving on to a new point.Loved the insights and vulnerabilityThe website is clean and very usefulVery well put togetherThings That Might Need Some BufferingThe show needs an intro to explain "Here is what we do here." You explain it later in the show. I would move it to the beginning of the show. The description really suggests a name change. Start with the end in mind, and look at who hires you to speak? If you're trying to spotlight soft skills, then tie them back to cyber security.The name is somewhat inside baseball. Maybe add a tagline to make it easier to get foundI would’ve added a link to the sponsor and the steve king book in your show notes.

Ep 103Everything Everywhere Daily
Everything Everywhere Daily is going under Erik and Dave's microscope. The description of the show is:Everything Everywhere Daily tells the stories of interesting people, places, and things from around the world and throughout history. Topics covered include, but are not limited to, history, science, geography, and culture. The website is https://everything-everywhere.com/everything-everywhere-daily-podcast What We Liked About the Podcast Good use of Audible. Nice job of going the extra mile to make the sponsor fit the show. You have a good tease to open the show. Great presentation. Very natural sounding. Nice shout out to the listener at the end (where this type of content belongs). Nice story arc Your photography is amazing on your website. Easy to find subscribe buttons on your website. What You Might Try In the Future You don't mention your website. For Dave, there were too many details (who is this for?). There is music for the sake of nothing. Add a voice over to that to help explain the show. Change the link on your gear page so it opens in a new window. In Libsyn add your JioSaavn destination. There isn't much about you or your unique past (at least in this episode). There is no close to the show. It just ends. At least ask them to share the show with a friend.

Ep 102The Colon Health Podcast
Today Dave and Erik review The Colon Health Podcast. Their description in Apple is, "Interviews with the world's leading professionals and experts in gastroenterology, research, nutritional science, medical technology, and more. If it impacts your colon health, we cover it here on the Colon Health Podcast. Hosted by Dr. Dac Teoli." Their website is https://www.colonoscopy.com/podcast/ What We Liked About The Show The intro is solid and gives you what you need. The phrase, "We have three big problems" really caught my attention (it's a great setup). I learned some stuff I could use at a dinner party. The host has great pipes. I love the “to be fair” and showing of both sides of the data. Really positioned the other Dr. Dale as the Expert. The website made it easy to find the podcast. Some Things You Might Try Moving Forward Add more about the benefit to the listener. You give lots of stats/data early in the episode. Numbers are hard to follow in audio. You can put the stats in the show description and direct people to the website. Erik thought you could sound friendlier, and Dave thought spelling the website and name was a little odd. You introduce the guest, and then we don't hear from him for a LONG TIME. Then you just dump the show into his lap, and he talks for a LONG TIME. It had the feel like you were doing a presentation instead of a conversation. At the end of the show, give the listener a benefit to take action. If possible (realizing Doctors may not be that tech savvy) get them off the phone. It was good that you sounded good and were on a microphone You have some "group Speak." Phrases such as, "Our listeners out there”, etc. “To you, our listener.” Who else would it be? A fair amount of calls to action at the end, and be sure to explain the benefits of those calls to action Mentioned in this episode:Is Your Show GrowingI took my twenty years of podcasting experience and put them into a PDF for you.

Ep 101The Pharmacist's Voice
Today Dave Jackson from the School of Podcasting and Erik K. Johnson from Podcast Talent Coach take a look at the Pharmacist's Voice hosted by Kim Newlove. Here is the description of the podcast: The Pharmacist’s Voice The Pharmacist's Voice Podcast is a weekly, journey-style podcast about Ohio pharmacist Kim Newlove's career change from pharmacist to voice actor. She alternates solo shows and interview shows. The solo shows are about her career change, and the interview shows feature a variety of people who use their voices to advocate, educate, or entertain. What We Liked About the Show Kim does a good job explaining why the guest is on a show and has a clear idea of who should (and shouldn't be on her show). Kim does a good job of bringing the guest back on topic. Her audio sounds great. Her website is a PHENOMENAL example of someone who has a business AND a podcast and doesn't bury the podcast while keeping the business front and center. Some Things That Could Use Some Tweaking Kim is a voice actor, so her diction is perfect. Towards the end of the show, we conclude that when she slows down the speed of her talking it makes it appear that her diction and delivery is a bit stiff. Her demo is amazing and filled with energy. We want more of that. While Kim's website does a great job of promoting her business, she barely mentions her services in the podcast. She does ask people to visit her website but could boost this effort by explaining why. We provide a few examples of how to tie her business into her podcast. Conclusion As a journey podcast, Kim's podcast has already resulted in her getting some voice work. With 100 episodes under her belt, she is doing a lot of things correctly. He website is a great website where everything appears planned, and her brand just oozes professionalism. We wish her all the best.

Start listening today and discover how to get noticed in a crowded marketplace. Want Your Show Reviewed? Go to www.podcastreviewshow.com/reviewme What We Liked About the Show Dave enjoyed the Emotion Wheel and felt it was something he would look deeper into that topic when the show was over. Your voice over guy did a nice single call to action. Solid interview style. Very comfortable. The questions set him up to give a ton of useful info. I like the big “subscribe” button on the home page. The intro tells us exactly who the show is for and what it is about. I like the category section - easy to binge listen What We Thought Could Be Improved I would prefer you tell me why YOU are excited to have this person on instead of reading his bio. The show doesn't mention authors, and it would help to tie any strategies back to authors. Dave felt you repeating what the guest just said was not helpful. Remove Google Play from you website and add Google Podcasts and Spotify. (maybe make a subscribe page with directions) While there is an "About" for the podcast, We need a paragraph to answer, “Why should I listen to Susan?” The call to action would come across better if it came from you. The WordPress theme you are on is from a company that went out of business. Check out Second Line Themes. The answers were very technical. Get the guest to tell some stories. Engage. Examples. Lots of “schedule appointment” buttons. You ask “Need help with book marketing?” Is that the real pain? or is it “get noticed” “sell more books” “become a best seller”? “Contact” is just “schedule an appointment” again. Maybe e-mail or phone.

Ep 99PAYPOD THE PAYMENTS AND FINTECH PODCAST
Today we look at Paypod the payments and fintech podcast. Here is their description from Apple podcasts: Welcome to PayPod, a show that explores the fast-changing world of payments and fintech. The show features interviews with leaders and entrepreneurs in the payments and fintech industries. Each episode, you’ll hear an interview directly with a leader of the payments industry. We talk with fintech entrepreneurs, security experts, mobile developers, eCommerce pros, and more... From credit card processing to bitcoin... from retail point of sale systems to cutting edge digital payments software… merchant accounts. mobile checkout, lending marketplaces, and beyond… we cover it all! What We Liked About the Show Once the interview started Scott seemed very relaxed and enjoyed having a conversation with his guest. While there was some "Bitcoin Rah Rah" it wasn't 100% a pep rally for bitcoin. Great short introduction that gets right to the point It was a good discussion about cryptocurrency itself worldwide. You do a good job balancing the discussion of the app with the discussion of the industry overall. The courage to cover contrarian views was great, and you did a great job of setting up the guest and then getting out of his way as his passion came through. I liked that you attempted to skip the guest's backstory (even though he admittedly went on some tangents). The website was clean and does a great job of having a podcast page without distracting from the business. Things That Might Need Improved You really need to determine who this show is for and talk specifically to that audience. There may be more than one type of listener, but you really need to embrace one. Erik thought a bit more on the benefit of the show for the listener. How am I going to benefit? Leave yourself a little room at the beginning of that before the discussion starts to demonstrate your authority in this space and what you do and how you help people. Not sure what you could do about this, but an Australian only app cuts out a chunk of the world. A walk through of the process of the app, what it does, and why I would use it. A fair amount of jargon. Depending on who the audience is, you might need to explain some of the terms. The guest had mentioned he had authored a book, and you mentioned you would put a link in the show notes (but didn't). You did a great job of having a single call to action, but that one call to action wasn't in alignment with your goals. You had stated you wanted more feedback on the topics that interest the audience. If this is the true goal, you need to specify this as your call to action. Add some more obvious subscribe buttons (instead of links) in the episodes (it is all about the subscribers).

Ep 97Where are They Now? Adam Kinakin From Tactical Breakdown
Today Dave and Erik touch base with Adam from Tactical Breakdown to see how his podcast is doing since the last time we reviewed his show. Adam niched down to his audience, and really focused on his target audience and realized not everyone is his audience. Adam has delegated the production work to a company that allows him to focus more on the courses and live events. He started and launched an online training program, and now does his podcast full time. Adam had questions about creating an Amazon Flash Briefing (and we explain there is a difference between an Amazon Skill, and an Amazon Flash Briefing). Adam also has people in his audience and industry to have Adam consult on running their event, and help with their podcast. Adam updated his intro based on our suggestions and fixed the audio issues he had in the past.

Ep 96Tactical Breakdown
Description Get actionable training and tactics from the best Law Enforcement, Military, and Emergency Response instructors in the world. Join us on our quest to make you, your agency, and your community safer. Our goal is to bring you a platform that gives an in-depth look at the most current training, tactics, and technology used by today's top Law Enforcement, Military, and Security experts. Our Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) bring you their real-world knowledge and experiences and breakdown the incidents, operations, and personal stories that influenced them. We are proud to have partnered with organizations from across Canada to raise awareness of Mental Health and Crisis Response for our First Responders, LEOs, Active & Veteran Military Members, and Security Personnel across the world. We will be bringing on experts to share information and resources that you can use yourself, another person, or your organization. What We Liked Great energy. Great guest Glad that reminded me who the guest is and why he's there. Good job of explaining CCTM might do that more often. Nice job of talking to one person most of the time. Nice job of teasing “coming up on the podcast” (maybe get more specific). Have a good shift – you really know your listener. Nice job of staying out of the guest's way, and letting him state his opinion. Nice job asking the guest to clarify. Nice focused call to action. Great resources and easy contact page. The website is easy to navigate. What Might Need a Little Polish A lot of history of the guest. Do we need all of his backstories? Your volume needs adjusting during the intro. Have a first question that gets into the content instead of a generic history question. Some low hanging ums, but not enough to worry about. No way to share episodes. If you're using an iframe, those are horrible for SEO. White text on a black background can be taxing on the eyes. The occasional use of group speak. Your newsletter needs more of an incentive.

Ep 95Leadership Jam Session
Description Rob Fonte is the host of the Leadership Jam Session Podcast, where every other week you'll get to hear leaders at all levels of management share their practical solutions to the management challenges you face every day. On this podcast, Rob shares leadership experiences with listeners by bringing in leaders from all different levels to “Jam” on a variety of leadership topics. Some of the best insights are captured from just listening and learning from each other as they share their experiences. More importantly, we learn to see things through the lens of a different perspective and how to move forward with a different approach. With that concept in mind, the Leadership Jam Session podcast was born. Be sure to stay up to date at leadershipjamsession.com. What We Liked About it Great short introductions and you got right to the content The intro identifies who the show is for and what to expect. Great stories and insights from your guests Great transitions from speaker to speaker and getting everyone involved I liked the occasional summary of what your guests said. You had a great space for guests to be vulnerable and share insights. What Might Need Some Polish Do a quick recap of the question when getting others involved. “almost out of time” is a holdover from the radio. Always talk to one person and avoid group speak Work more of who you are and why people should listen. Maybe work the guest's name in more so we know who is talking. Direct people to the website for calls to action. Add a Google Podcasts to the website and update Captivate to show subscribe buttons Position yourself as the expert and do a summary of “what did we learn” to inject YOU into the content. Determine who your true target audience member is and design the content with them in mind.

Ep 94SWIMMING IN THE FLOOD
Description Developing Resilient Leaders What We Liked About The Show Nice opening. Nice story. You get right to it. Lovely Dirty Harry Imitation The website looks amazing and very professional It's precise. You make your point and get out. What We Thought Needed Tweaking Dave thought this was close to being a performance it was so well-read There was some confusion about who the story was about. Was this you golfing? The audio level on the Dirty Harry clip was a little low When you say “Folks” its “group speak” Add a “Book Trent” button to the website A little stronger connection of the opening story to the topic. “Today we are going to talk about” More Information Website: trenttheroux.comAppleGoogle Podcasts The post SWIMMING IN THE FLOOD appeared first on Podcast Review Show - Get Your Podcast Reviewed.Mentioned in this episode:Is Your Show GrowingI took my twenty years of podcasting experience and put them into a PDF for you.

Ep 93Code 3 – The Firefighters’ Podcast
Description The weekly podcast for and about firefighters, “Code 3” covers topics of interest to those in the fire service, through interviews with those who know it best. From Chiefs to Probies, Engineers to Firefighters, and Paramedics to EMTs, award-winning journalist Scott Orr talks with them all. Show notes at Code3Podcast.com What We Liked About The Show Nice and to the point ” The firefighter's podcast – strategies, tactics and other topics you need to know about” Love how you embrace Parkinson's right up front GREAT first question that really gets right to the good stuff Great discussion with the strategies. I could see a squad listening to this and having a discussion There is one aspect in the show firefighting What We Thought Needed Tweaked Have the store on your website open in a new window Make the newsletter option a bit more exciting Maybe a bit more promotion on the t-shirt and generic donation options Maybe a few more stories More Information Website: http://www.code3podcast.comAppleGoogle The post Code 3 – The Firefighters’ Podcast appeared first on Podcast Review Show - Get Your Podcast Reviewed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ijFQP-rxcQ&feature=emb_logoMentioned in this episode:Is Your Show GrowingI took my twenty years of podcasting experience and put them into a PDF for you.

Ep 92Bullying, Life, and Stuff
Description Rhonda Orr is the president and founder of Rhonda's STOP BULLYING Foundation. On this podcast, she expands on the newspaper advice columns she writes with Dr. Cheri L. McDonald, “Dear Rhonda & Dr. Cheri..” Rhonda speaks directly to you, with real-world, actionable adviceFind the show at https://bullyinglifeandstuff.com What We Liked About The Show The audio quality was great and Rhonda has an authentic passion for this topic and it comes through. The opening got right to the point Nice clip to open the show that really hit home The website has a nice clean look and easy to navigate. Good job of boosting the theater of the mind Good call to action at the end of the show What Needed Some Tweaking Some confusions with wording coming from a column to a podcast “She/Her” The intro was a bit long and you might want to focus in who is the show for, and what the goal of the show is for. Then right an intro to really pull in the listeners and use the parts of your background that fit the goal of the show (credentials that don't fit aren't needed). Dr. Cheri got a lot of attention for someone who is not on the show, and is barely on the website. Also do we care that she is from West Lake Villiage? If the goal is to get more speaking gigs, add some pictures of you in that setting to the website. You might also consider mentioning it to the audience. Example: “I was speaking to some high school kids….” The 12 seconds of music at the end could be faded out at the end. This opening really isn't focused on anyone. “from business management to fear”, but we are talking about bullying. Who are we really trying to reach? Additional Comments As Rhonda is transitioning to a new podcast and website, when the podcast isn't tied to the structure of the column this will free you up to speak more from the heart, and loosen up a bit (not that you were stiff). We look forward to hearing Bully Buster when it becomes available.

Ep 91Readily Random Podcast
Description Random is a podcast hosted by Larry Roberts featuring a RANDOM selection of interesting and insightful interviews with Motivators, Entrepreneurs, Survivors, Athletes, Podcasters, Bloggers and More! The goal is to READILY remind each listener through stories of success, recovery, and inspiration that you too can be larger than life!Find the show at www.readilyrandom.com What We Liked Great energy out of the gate Great audio Great passion A clean website with great graphics Great job covering when uncontrollable circumstances arrive Fun music. What Needs to be Tweaked The show needs an intro that describes what it's about and who it's for. Then describe what is on the episode in a way that makes people want to keep listening. There is quite a lot of “group talk” such as “Hey everybody.” Talk to ONE person to boost the intimate feel of podcasting. Be sure to mention whatever people are there to plug upfront and set the stage so people know where we are headed. While many podcasters don't share enough, at one point the interview flipped and she was interviewing you as we had taken a fairly long tangent. We LOVE your personality. Share that on your “10 minutes with” episodes, and make interviews where the guest shines. Add a call to action even if it is “tell a friend” and let people know where they can find more information about you and your guest. You can share about yourself in regards as to why YOU are excited about (reason) the guest is on today. This shows you did some homework while allowing people to get a glimpse into you. Be careful getting too random. Make sure there is a common theme amongst your guests.

Ep 90Beyond Westworld
Beyond Westworld Introduction DESCRIPTION Award-winning podcast duo Aaron Peterson & Troy Heinritz live without limits as they bring you into analysis mode on the very first podcast for HBO's Westworld. You may question the nature of your reality as the “hosts” dig deep into each character's journey through the maze to find the door. Break the code with a sectioned off part of the park for theories and deep dives into not just the show, but all the website, Instagram, and other ancillary items they can find. What are your drives? If you answered Westworld, then subscribe today! WEBSITE www.beyondwestworldpodcast.com WHAT WE LIKED Troy and Aaron put in a lot of work into each episode via research. Their audio quality is good and their intro gets right to the content quickly Their show notes included some GIF mini-movies that really grabbed your attention along with a quick history of Westworld There were passionate discussions of topics that were DEEP into the topics of die-hard fans. There is good chemistry between the hosts. WHAT NEEDS TWEAKED? Some of the tangents went a bit long and really stopped the momentum of the show (or were just inside jokes that the audience didn't get). Some of the information that is delivered in each weekly seemed rushed and at times, hard to understand. There were many calls to action at the end. You could use each other's names a bit more to help the audience keep track. Without doing a “and now its time to” type of segment remind the audience of the purposes of each segment (beyond “going deeper”). Your banding is a little clunky. This will be remedied when you switch to a new website but there is mention of Golden Spiral, as well as your website, which then has a header at the top with a different name.

The A&P Professor builds on the practical approach taken in Kevin's popular blogs, newsletters, and websites. Want some ideas to supercharge your A&P course? How about some support from a fellow A&P professor? This is the podcast for you! What We Liked Nice intro – I know where we are going, and you’re right into the content Did a great job of talking to one person – no “Group Speak” Lots of great tips for fellow teachers Nice job referring back to episode 50 Nice transitions and the ads were short, relevant, and to the point. Solid bio on the site Things That Need Polished Gave good qualifications at the end. Move it up to the front of the show. It's against Amazon's policy to say shopping through your link will help you (go figure…) A few too many calls to action at the end. The website lacked an overall style.

Great recap with stories Great chemistries Great line about spending TONS of time for a 2-minute race. What Could Use Some Polish “This is a question we ask all of our guests…” Signing off for myself and my champion co-host” Give your name again You guest was an um machine to the point it may impact her first impression CTA was subscribe and visit the website.

Ep 83World Music Foundation Podcast
Description: A podcast that explores the beauty and connectedness of musical cultures from every part of the globe. We bring you interviews with world-renowned musicians from every part of the globe, as well as our own explorations of musical styles, instruments, and artists. If you believe, like us, that open ears = open minds, then come with us into broader horizons! What We Liked About the Episode Great storytelling. Feels like you are telling rather than reading. The format of storytelling mixed with interviews makes for a great pace. Great teasing of future episodes. Great mentions of the website without being a giant plugging machine Loved the passion, especially the “Aw C' mon!” Website makes it easy to subscribe What Might Need Some Work The introduction needs a little more information to explain what the SHOW is about (and maybe just a tab more about what was going to happen in the interview) The volume levels of some of the clips were low, and others were very high. While this didn't require the audience to grab the volume knob (Except for the very first bit of music) you want to keep an eye on it. As the goal is to get more people to support the foundation, add a button for the foundation on the website. Check Out the World Music Foundation Podcast The website is wmfpodcast.org.

Ep 82Beer With an Engineer
Description: Being an engineer is challenging, but can be such a rewarding career. Every Friday, Mel & Dom will be sharing a beer with an engineer who will tell you all about their career and provide thoughts and advice for future engineers. If you are concerned or interested about the current and future life as an engineer, then this Podcast is for you. What We Liked: Overall it's a good conversation. The open is nice & clear “On a mission to shine a light and share a beer with our incredible heroes that are today’s engineers.” The beer sound effects are a nice touch without being too cheesy. Some really good questions. What was the highlight of your career?” I love the quotes in the show notes. Nice touch with a video on the “about” page. The website looked good on the phone. Nice “be our guest” page on website. Suggestions For Improvement: Possible add a little more “ I’d like to hear what’s in it for me.” into your introduction The guest had a great background and we would've loved to hear more stories. Maybe use “Why did you get into engineering” as a first question instead of “tell us about yourself.” Some of the custom fonts might be a little hard to read.

Ep 81Unstructured Podcast
Our Thoughts What this podcast was really missing was a better intro. “This is Unstructured.” It didn’t even give me the tagline “Dynamic Informal Conversations” or the host name. You had the curse of knowledge where you knew the guest and jumped write in, but never clued the audience in to who we were talking to.The introduction of the guest was, ““I read her first book a couple of years ago. I read her most recent book last year. This is Sharyl Attkisson.” There are other things the guest had on their resume that would've been very beneficial to the interview. She was a correspondent for CBS News from 1993-2014. Before joining CBS, Attkisson was an anchor and correspondent for CNN (1990-1993). From 1996-2001, in addition to her CBS News duties, Attkisson hosted a half-hour weekly medical news magazine on PBS entitled “HealthWeek. This would have made a better intro.For example, you stated, “you have an amazing past and a really wonderful history. It’s kind of a weird situation because I find you completely brave but at the same time I find it troubling that you’re having journalistic integrity as bravery.” I like the bold question. But we had no idea what you are talking about. If we had a better setup we might have. For Dave, he was preoccupied trying to figure out who this person was to the point that he was having a hard time listening to her answers. There was a really nice discussion on free speech in the middle of the interview. The questions were deep. It was clear he did his research. At the end, we talk about her lawsuit against the government and her podcast. Those sound like great topics. I wish we would have touched on those during the shows. The ending of the show was invisible. With no setup, you played two promos for other podcasts. With a better setup this might make more sense, but you also might consider coming up with a call to action to have people tell a friend and subscribe. If you want your audience to engage with you, you need to ask them to engage. The Website The website had a very clean look with a great contact page and social proof. Dave was curious why there was no “About” page. Also move the searchbox up (don't make people search for the search box) and move the RSS buttons down.

Ep 79What Cops Watch
The Stuff We Liked Great inside look at being a cop Great stories – would have loved even more Great introductions Good quick transitions Great music Erik liked the “game” of guessing how much the movie made (once) I didn't even look at my phone until we were two hours in The Items that Need to be Polished While you explained that some of the cops were authors, Dave thought the inclusion of content that leaned toward “Film school” was the weakest content. If you cut ut out the show would be amazing Use their names more often so we can keep track. The one person had a very identifiable accent, but the others didn't Be aware you are exporting at a very high bit rate that is slower to download, takes up more room on your audience's devices and doesn't really deliver much better quality than 128 kbps.

Today we look at Curious Goods a show that takes a deep dive in the Friday the 13th television series and looks at the storytelling aspects and other areas that made this a great show. Audio Player at the bottom of the page The Stuff We Liked We enjoye... The Stuff We Liked We enjoyed the sarcasm and entertainment as you did the re-enactment of the episode The ads were well done and to the point The show is a very unique mix of story writing clinic and very old television series Nice production The female voiceover at the start of the show Nice job of mentioning other shows and cross-promotion without being too spammy. Good call to action “What was your curious good from this episode?” Stopping the music let the audience know we've moved to a new section The Items that Need to be Polished Dave found the intro confusing. Erik would've liked a bit of a table of contents. Explain what a curious good is sooner (you did a great job at the 35-minute mark) Try to talk to one person and avoid group speak Dave felt the background music got too loud at times Identify yourselves sooner (but no need to say “I'm your host) Add some credentials – why am I listening to you? You guys agree on everything. Maybe find some different points of view. The commercials break was very long. Possibly break these up into smaller chunks Didn't get to the content until 7 minutes in and Dave thought this was too long The easter egg at the end didn't deliver much value and the space between the end of the show and the easter egg is VERY long. The Website The site is cluttered and hard to navigate Needs a style guide iTunes link goes to the wrong show (and your subscribe buttons are lost in the clutter) The Curious Goods show is missing on your show page. The tag cloud ads no value to the visitor. See if you can move it down the page. There is a lot of material for your business. There is more than enough advertising on each page. Convocation is a very fancy word. The logos have a nice theme that is followed in each logo.

Website: https://www.pricelessprofessional.com/wakeupeagerworkforce.html What we liked about the podcast You have a great website, with phenomenal show notes. There was often good content, but it needed to be shortened It's nice that your transcript is separate from your show notes What Could Be Improved There was an issues with “popping P's” that can be fixed with better microphone placement Your little wrap-up up points were not little. These could be improved by shortening them. These are summaries (bullet points) The “fun” questions were entertaining, but putting them at the very beginning may not be a good first impression Be listening for places where a guest can tell stories The recap led into a show close that felt like it lasted forever. You have too many calls to action The post Wake Up Eager Workforce appeared first on Podcast Review Show - Get Your Podcast Reviewed.Mentioned in this episode:Is Your Show GrowingI took my twenty years of podcasting experience and put them into a PDF for you.

Ep 75The Rogue Ones
Today we are joined by Leslie Eiler Thompson who is the host of The Rogue Ones podcast. Description Conversations with extraordinary individuals on their own unique “rogue” journeys. We explore the experiences and opportunities afforded these rogues as they share successes and failures they've encountered along the way. We then, in turn, learn ways to adopt this rogue attitude for ourselves. These are the rogue ones, and these are their stories. What Is Working One of the best intros ever. Leslie is awesome at talking to one person and sounding sincerely friendly. You can hear your smile I love the definition of what makes something rogue, and what the show is about, “We explore extraordinary people doing fascinating things. And we learn from them so we may adopt the same attitudes to develop a rogue lifestyle.” You did a great job of incorporating the listening into the conversation as if they were sitting at the table with you. Great website, great about page, and nice use of the logo/glasses Nice tease at the end of the show for future episodes What Needs Some Work There were sometimes when you had some great opportunities for stories, and you didn't follow up with a question (Billy Joel, “I learned a lot of lessons…”). “I spent a lot of time asking for forgiveness rather than asking for permission.” Give me an example. “Tell me about the time you really pushed the limit or broke the rules to get a result.” With such great content, I would've left off the travel down memory lane about a pseudonym.

Ep 74Route 66 Podcast
The description of the Route 66 Podcast is “talks with people living and working along the Mother Road.” You can find it at http://www.route66podcast.com/ The episode we reviewed is http://www.route66podcast.com/18-mojave-desert-route-66/ What We Thought Was Done Well The opening with Dennis’ voice was unique. The phone quality added to the nostalgia of the episode. Nice rustic opening music Nice plug of the earlier episode You do a good job of asking the questions and letting the guest talk Nice tease with the trivia answer to keep people listening What We Might Tweak Dave thought taking 11 minutes to get to the interview was a bit too long, but Erik thought it was OK but would change the “Now let's start the show” to something different as you had been doing the show for 11 minutes. There are times when you read that you need to add a bit of voice inflection and make some effort (either via pauses, or music) to make smoother transitions. Your website has not title tag which is a vital ingredient to SEO and being found Three calls to action at the end of the show. try to narrow that down to one. The yellow highlighter color is a bit much to look at for long periods. As your audience may be older, you might want to add a page with instructions on how to subscribe to the show You have a great resource page, but didn't mention it much on the podcast.

Ep 73Amidlife Traveler
A Midlife Traveler Description: Travel vacation destinations come to life in your ears through the Amidlife Travler podcast. Discover countries, culture, history, tours, sightseeing advice and travel tips through the voices, humor and opinions of locals who live there or travelers who have been there… like hearing about Scotland from a Scotsman and Ireland from the Irish. Indulge your travel curiosities and find ideas for your next vacation. Helpful information for world travelers and those who want to travel. Season 1 explores Scotland through the voice, opinions and stories of a Scotsman named James. Topics include Scottish Culture, History, Whiskey, the Kilt, Brexit, Vikings, Highland Games and other fun stories.. Website http://amidlifetraveler.com/ What we loved about the show: Laura has a great voice and you can hear her passion. I did like that you were talking to me. You seemed relaxed. You were talking to one person. It was Nonscripted and loose. Your website is a phenomenal resource. It's great that you are interviewing the local people and getting that information you can't get anyplace else. What Can Be Tweaked The laundry list of people that we’ll hear from at the beginning was hard to follow. Figure out what you want your audience to take away from the episode and move that to the front. You had said, “Famous for their moonlight kayak – sunset, near the woods, luminescence in the water, starlight serenade, violin and Irish songs.” Those are the details we were wanted. There is a tremendous opportunity to create a theater of the mind, and when someone did start to explain the lights on the water they were interrupted. You brought friends on to help explain their experience, and they said: Amazing Awesome Cool Experience Fun and Super Cool amazing and beautiful Awesome, I love it Great Day Fantastic Great fun but you never dug in deeper as to why it was cool or great, etc. You seemed to be explaining how qualified the guides were to the point where I started to wonder if you were getting paid. You had already stated that you would be going back, so for me, that is enough to know the guides were good. I'd rather hear more about the experience than the guide. You have a GREAT website, and we would get people excited about the destination, and then direct them to the website.

Ep 72Agless Hockey
Ageless Hockey has a description of ” This is a podcast for hockey players over 50 years old.” The website is agelesshockey.com Things We Liked in This Episode There was some wise advice about not coming back from an injury early and how to NOT get your gear stolen He did a great job talking to a single person. There was no group speak. Shared some vulnerability which builds intimacy with his audience. The audio sounded fine The website is simple and easy to navigate. Great “Start Here” option on the website Great tease to get people to your website. Things He Might Want to Teak The transitions were very rough. You might want to see if the stories you are covering and be lined up in a way that makes it easier to transition from one to the other. Use your voice to signal you're changing topics. If nothing else, pause for a half a second. The “something about me” section at the end didn't really tie into anything. Erik would like to see you “turn up” the grumpy old man character a bit more. Be sure to turn the focus around and ask your self, “Whats in it for the listener?” Your call to action needs to be refined down to ONE.

Ep 71Copeland Coaching Podcast
Description The Copeland Coaching Podcast is made for job seekers who want to jump-start their job search. Each week we dive into career topics from interviewing to personal branding to applying and negotiating. If you want to switch industries, change careers, or make more money, this is the podcast for you! Website https://www.copelandcoaching.com/ What We Thought Was Great Intro: “Turn job search into a slam dunk”. Great, short intro that told me everything You did a good job of connecting the interview into this theme. Your website the clean look. The homepage is very focused. It shows a lot of credibilities. The second half of the interview had great questions that would be immediately beneficial to your audience. What Could Use a Little Effort Part of the audio had a fair amount of static There were no links to his books in your show notes There was some low hanging fruit (The guest said, “That's a good question, and stammered at times) that Dave would've edited out. Work some more stories into the conversation and drop hints into what services you offer Your audio is being exported at 320 kbps stereo which is overkill Avoid talking about things that happened before the recording Avoid any group speak “Hey everyone.” talk to a single listener Your courses button takes you away from your main page, and has no way to get back to the main site. Try to limit your calls to action to one at the end of the show.Mentioned in this episode:Is Your Show GrowingI took my twenty years of podcasting experience and put them into a PDF for you.

Ep 70Caregiving For Dementia
Description of Show The show is about the Delaney Family and living with someone with dementia. My mother has had dementia for two years now and I ‘m hoping that this podcast will help someone who's in the some situation. Also, I talk about my feeling on a lot of things like religion, politics, and there may even be a lot electronics.So basically the shows is a little bet of everything that we do and get into as a Family. Check out the show at https://babymountainradio.com/ What We Found Michael Was Doing Well Started off the show with a story and got to the story quickly The stream of consciousness of the show. The listeners feel the emotion and frustration. Transparency of “I don't know all the answers.” Nice call back at the end Things that Need Tweaked The opening line of where podcasting’s hard work made fun is a bit confusing. Maybe explain more what the show is about and what is in it for the listener. I don’t see where I leave you a comment. Is it just on the “contact us” page? The website is somewhat hard to read and the links get lost in the background You are publishing at a very high bit rate, and that makes the file download slower and take up more room on people's devices.

Ep 69A Modelerslife
Today Dave and Erik review the podcast “A Modelerslife.” All modelers have a life but what do we know of it. This podcast is as much about the people in model railroading has it is about the hobby itself. I've met so many interesting people in the hobby over the years I decided it would be fun to share their back stories with everyone else. So come along with me, Lionel Strang my trusty sidekick, Jim Rindt and Bruce the mail boy as we discover just how many fascinating folks there are in this great hobby. Checkout their website at https://www.amodelerslife.com/ Things We Liked Good chemistry with the crew The audio quality was good for having such a large crew Good follow up questions A lot of in-depth analysis and tips on being a model railroader Erik loved the story of how the father got his son into trains at an early age (because that's how most people get into trains) Things that Could Be Better As new listeners, there was no introduction to the show (Welcome to the ___ where we ____). This doesn't have to be long, but tell people what the show is about and tell them what is coming up on the show, if you're not sure, this can always be added in post. Dave is afraid having the name modelerslife all one word will make it harder to find in directories like Apple iTunes While there is a nice “guys just hanging out working on their stuff” vibe, Dave felt there were time when you could edit some of the “Where should we go now?” discussion out of the show (and just leave you moving on to the next topic) On your website, you have a link to explain what Patreon is, but on that page, there are no links to actually join and become a patron. The music at the end could be used underneath the “goodbyes” and then shortened. Toward the end when you were flipping through the facebook, it seemed like you were running out of ideas. This would be a good strategy for topics, but maybe do it in show prep, and then frame it better. There are no links to subscribe to the show for Android people.

There was a great tease and the housekeeping was quick The advertisement was quick and to the point and the music behind it was fine. I like that you gave a shout out to the latest patron Good follow questions Nice about page on your website The shopping cart was smooth and looks nice. It sounded more like a conversation than an interrogation. What Needs Work The intro music was a little long The biggest issue is your guests audio, and you don' have much control over that. You ask the question, and then you frame it. It's better to frame it and then end with the question The menu area at the top of the website was annoying.

Find it at http://www.moneyanswers.com and in iTunes What We Liked About the Show You get right to the guest quickly Very comfortable as an interviewer. Solid journalist. The audio quality was fine. You did a great job of asking questions and letting the guest talk What You Might Consider Tweaking The first segment of the interview seemed a bit like a giant pitch for your guest Your podcast is a bit hard to find on the site, and you have text links, but those could be hard to find on a mobile device. Tell me about your history and how you got here” is like asking the guest to tell you their life story with no real direction. You know what your audience needs to know. Your guest doesn’t. Intro your guest and ask a question. While you do a great job of spotlighting the guest, I didn't get to hear about you at all. I would take the ad spots and use them for your products instead of promoting the competition Your phone system breaks up on a consistent basis. There is a lot of calls to action to call the show (and yet there is nobody calling). You might look into voicemail, and then set up a call.

Ep 64The Unwritable Rant
Today we are joined by Dave the Producer and Juliette Miranda of the Unwritable Rant podcast. A great podcast featuring bourbon and great stories. Find the show at http://www.theunwritablerant.com/ as well as in iTunes What The Podcast Did Well Juliette did a phenomenal job describing the bourbon, and the stories were great. The nicknames you had for your characters and the way you described them really showed off your writing chops. The theater of the mind was in full effect and had both of us laughing out loud. It was like we were in a scene of a movie as you revealed all the action (especially in the second story). The audio quality is great, and you had nice pacing of the story. The web design had a very minimalist approach making it easy to find things. What Needed a bit of Tweaking Both Erik and Dave were a bit confused as the intro didn't really explain what the show was about and at first, we thought the show was about bourbon. Juliette slid into her first story so smoothly, and neither one of us picked up on the fact that she was starting her story. The website is a little confusing as you have two websites that bounce back and forth between the two. You might be losing some “Google Juice” by embedding a page with all your shows. Instead, why not write some notes as a blog post and put the podcast player on the post. It might bring more traffic to your site. The call to action mentioned other stations, but if the goal of the podcast is to promote Juliette's books, it didn't do that very well. You might want to step back and consider what is the goal of the podcast and focus your call to action on that. You can do things like have all your subscription buttons on one page, and all the ways to contact you on one page (and then promote the site) Your delivery was a bit like a casual reading of an author at a store. It was still being read but sounded very practiced. You sounded very close to being “off the top of your head.” If you're going to read, then announce it, and if you're not then maybe not practice so much so that it sounds more like a play performance than a friend telling a story.

Ep 63Say the Damn Score
Today we have Logan Anderson from the Say the Damn Score Podcast. His description is, “Say the Damn Score: An unprofessional podcast on professional sportscasting.” you can find it at www.saythedamnscore.com Here is what we liked About the Show The intro helped shape the atmosphere and branding of the show (a fun, edgy podcast) You got to the guest in less than 1 minute. The volume levels were good. The website has a clean and easy to navigate. The interview was great Logan did a TON of homework for his interview and it showed He asked great questions, and because he paid attention to his guest, great follow-up questions. What Might Need Some Tweaking His link to iTunes on his website started with “itpc://” which works, but you don't get credit for the subscribers (add your iTunes link in PowerPress under the destinations tab). Erik enjoyed the somewhat sarcastic opening but thought that spirit got a little lost and would advise “putting a little more smile” into his voice at times. At the beginning of the show, you might consider explaining what the show is, “Welcome to the Say the Damn Score show where we _____ for (typical audience). The average user can figure out it's a sports show but we should identify if we are talking about teams, leagues, etc. Instead of having multiple calls to action (iTunes, email, etc) put those items on a single page so you can give one call to action. Make the about page a little more outward focuses on what the show is about, how you're going to benefit, and who it's for.
