Show Notes
How do you find the perfect podcast host to share airtime with? If a podcast is your passion project but you don't have a technical background, an audio-savvy partner could help make your dream a reality. That's what Darren Dukes, a Vancouver Island physiotherapist and running enthusiast, discovered when he convinced fellow runner and former radio broadcaster Jamie Weiss to be his co-host. Darren's vision and Jamie's recording prowess have resulted in a podcast that's drawing in avid runners and jogging-curious listeners alike.
Darren and Jamie chat with Mary about podcast partnerships, the importance of strong show structure, and the challenges and skill-building opportunities they've already encountered as they forge a new touchpoint for the vibrant West Coast running community.
Keep your show—and your motivation—running smoothly:
- The benefits of a local focus: a strong start without limiting your potential for growth;
- Maintaining positive momentum through feedback;
- The unexpected wins of shared airtime;
- How strong audio cues and a consistent structure help your audience keep up.
