Repurposing content and making it easy for guests to share is important. Some use t-shirts and e-cards for added promotion. [00:42:46] Send a thank you note with gift card. Promote show if interested, not pressuring. [00:48:35] Media hosting can be expensive and resource-intensive, but there are affordable options like Red Circle, Lipsyn, Buzzsprout, and Captivate. Some hosts may require a dedicated server or charge higher fees for popular shows. It's generally recommended to use a media host, although it's not necessary. Red Circle offers free hosting with good customer service, while other hosts may have limitations and additional charges. [00:54:37] "Pod ops: podcast hosting with all-in-one tools."

Feed Drops and Collaboration: Exploring the Benefits and Techniques for Sharing Episodes. 08/26/2023

Feed Drops and Collaboration: Exploring the Benefits and Techniques for Sharing Episodes. This episode covered a wide range of topics, from recommendations vs feed drops to event experiences, audio engineering, and more. Here are three key takeaways that I think will be valuable for you: The Power of Clear Communication: As podcast hosts, it's crucial to provide clear information about your show's theme or target audience. This helps potential guests understand the interview questions better, leading to more engaging and insightful conversations. Navigating the Event Landscape: The episode delves into the speaker's experiences attending various conferences and events. They highlight the advantages of smaller, more intimate gatherings, such as Indipodcon in New Jersey. Smaller events foster meaningful connections and conversations, unlike larger conferences, which can sometimes feel overwhelming. Feed Drops for Promoting Podcasts: Dave explains the concept of feed drops, where podcasters share an episode from another show on their own platform. We discuss two options: playing the entire episode or providing a host-read endorsement and linking to the episode. Feed drops can be a great way to collaborate and introduce your audience to new content.
