00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Ero dot net, ar r oe dot net not just

2
00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>one podcast. It's broken up into several different styles, meaning

3
00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the YA authors are not going to be hanging out

4
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:14.279
<v Speaker 1>with the professional wrestlers and those who are in public office. No, no, no,

5
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.039
<v Speaker 1>everybody's on their separate path. And I love that because

6
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:19.480
<v Speaker 1>it gives you the power of choice. Oh, this is

7
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>what I want to listen to today, and it's right

8
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:23.079
<v Speaker 1>here in one place, and I don't have to search

9
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:26.399
<v Speaker 1>several different platforms. How do you like that? Huh? Ero

10
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:32.320
<v Speaker 1>dot net, ar r Oe dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Hey,

11
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.039
<v Speaker 1>what's going on? It's Ero, host of the weekly podcast

12
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Podcrashing and Podcrashing one on one. These episodes connect listeners

13
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:44.119
<v Speaker 1>to podcast specialists around the world. The goal has always

14
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:47.640
<v Speaker 1>been to inform our podcast community with subjects that deal

15
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.479
<v Speaker 1>with everything and beyond. Now Podcrashing one on one itself

16
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 1>has been around since twoenty nineteen. That idea has exploded

17
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>into a process of sharing the stories of all those

18
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>that are podcasting and those that are stepping into and

19
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>onto the path. The purpose of Podcrashing one on one

20
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.319
<v Speaker 1>is to help you build your own platform, promote it,

21
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>and maybe make some money. This is podcrashing one on

22
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.439
<v Speaker 1>one episode number four hundred and eighty three. Is hosting

23
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>a podcast truly having a voice or is it just

24
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:28.519
<v Speaker 1>another numbers chaser? Uh, it can be and truly is

25
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.799
<v Speaker 1>both a voice and an open field of digital gambling.

26
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 1>It's about the numbers. It's an authentic local connection. If

27
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:41.439
<v Speaker 1>what's being shared is something the podcast host actually believes in,

28
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:45.599
<v Speaker 1>even if it's not popular, the episodes will roll forward.

29
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Joe Rogan and Mark Marin are masters at being one

30
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent their physical selves. They weren't out to chase metrics.

31
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.879
<v Speaker 1>So what is a numbers person? Well, every subject chosen

32
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:59.959
<v Speaker 1>is by way of trying to protect clicks and trends.

33
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.959
<v Speaker 1>Your success is measured by downloads and sponsors. You are

34
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>a podcast numbers runner if you're readjusting your performance to

35
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.479
<v Speaker 1>match what's already hot on the scene. It's less about

36
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.960
<v Speaker 1>being a voice and more about talking about other valid

37
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.039
<v Speaker 1>subjects that are said to be what listeners are checking

38
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 1>in for. Well, here's where the tension rises. When podcasters

39
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 1>sit in the middle of being a voice as well

40
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>as a numbers chaser. Expression and attention, the physical act

41
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>of getting people to listen can actually dilute your presentation. Hey,

42
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.599
<v Speaker 1>coming up next, Are you a true voice in the

43
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:50.199
<v Speaker 1>podcast game or just another numbers chaser? Hey, welcome back

44
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>to podcashing one on one. Are you a true voice

45
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>in podcasting or just another numbers chaser? Seems harsh, right,

46
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.719
<v Speaker 1>but it's no different than terrestrial radio, who's always been

47
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.719
<v Speaker 1>out to get those arbitrons slash Nielsen ratings. Bring in

48
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:08.159
<v Speaker 1>the talent and you'll have yourself great ratings and boom,

49
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:13.479
<v Speaker 1>everything works. Right. Yeah, No, If you're truly trying to

50
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>be a voice in podcasting that people trust and get

51
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>valuable content from, start with being real, Pick real subjects

52
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.319
<v Speaker 1>that not only affect you, but others around you. And

53
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>once you've laid out the episode, now package it so

54
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>that people can find it. See, your true calling is

55
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.919
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that you don't trade authenticity for reach.

56
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Those really good spikes and numbers aren't every day, and

57
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 1>do you really believe them. Creating a solid listener foundation

58
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.599
<v Speaker 1>with a podcast that connects will always give you your numbers.

59
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.439
<v Speaker 1>You just have to expect that your dreams aren't gonna

60
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.599
<v Speaker 1>be as big as Mark Maren or Joe Rogan. You

61
00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>need to endlessly ask yourself if the podcast numbers disappeared tomorrow,

62
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.599
<v Speaker 1>would you still record, edit, and then post the episodes?

63
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:06.879
<v Speaker 1>And if your answer is yes, then well you know

64
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:10.319
<v Speaker 1>you might be considered a real authentic podcast voice. Now,

65
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 1>if you said, hell, no, man, those numbers aren't there,

66
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.519
<v Speaker 1>that's a waste of my time, Well, I guess you're

67
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:18.839
<v Speaker 1>in it for the score. Now we know the difference

68
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:23.199
<v Speaker 1>between a podcast voice and those who are numbers chasers.

69
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm Meryl and that's podcrashing one on one
