Speaker 1: Hey, I wanna thank you for finding Arrow dot net
a r r o e dot net. It's not a podcast,
it's a podcast network that features twenty different podcasts, such
as something our parents would say, you know, all those
wild things that would come from out of nowhere. Believe
it or not, it's not about the now. These things
have been around for centuries. Something our parents would say,
only on ero dot net. Ar r oe dot net.
Enjoy your exploration. Hey, it's Arrow, host to the weekly
podcast Podcrashing. These episodes are connecting listeners to podcast specialists
around the world. My goal has always been to inform
our podcast community with subjects that deal with everything and beyond.
I mean, podcast hosts are usually very open and always
filled with a spirit that spreads their skills as journalists,
medical specialists, true crime solvers, gamblers, motivators, spiritualists. Yeah, even
actors in their famous children. I mean, seriously, there's a
podcast for everybody. This podcast and Podcrashing one on one
have been around since March of twenty nineteen. The original
goal was to put focus on helping up and coming
podcasters to have the right information about hosting as well
as surviving in the podcast world. The idea went fifty
four episodes before adopting a new plan. Dude, you're talking
to all of these podcasters. You've got to include them
in podcrashing one on one. The purpose of podcrashing one
on one is to help you build your own platform,
to promote it, and maybe earn some money. This is
Podcrashing one on one, episode number four hundred forty two.
Why does everybody think they've got what it takes to
create as well as maintain a podcast. Oh? Maybe it's
because I'm too close that I'm asking such a question.
I mean, I'm a broadcast instructor. I meet a lot
of visionaries who come into that program not even listening
to podcasts. Plus, they carry no personal research as to
how a podcast is kept alive. So why do people
think they've got what it takes to create and maintain
a podcast? Well, research easily sells, and overview podcasting is
so deceptive it looks very easy. We're guilty of promoting
that our voices need this big platform. Well, when it
comes to creating a podcast, you're pretty much your own barrier.
Unlike terrestrial radio, you don't have to deal with overzealous
program directors and useless consultants to tell you what to
do and how to grow. That show. What the beginner
podcasters aren't listening to or seeing is the invisible work
that is required. I'm talking about the editing, the planning,
the consistency, the promotion, and yes, do you even know
who your followers are or who you would like to?
Have a very sharp and truthful point. I mean we
get confused with having an opinion versus holding someone's attention.
Coming up next we will unveil those misguided steps. Pups Hey,
welcome back to podcrashing one on one. A very simple
subject this week, why do people think they can create
and fully maintain a podcast? Now we learn that it's
because anybody can do a podcast. Anybody. Here's where so
many falter trip and quit, and the reason why is
because they didn't take the time to get a better
structuring of the conversation, respecting the pace, knowing when to
stop talking, nor did they take the needed time to
learn newer ways to ask questions that unlock other people's thoughts. Plus,
did you know that sounding national or intentional is actually
a learned skill. Here's where it gets slippery. Podcasts are
sold as passion projects, not as an endurance sport, learning
how to deal with your personal issues that rise When
there's no emails or reaction, your daily hits are down.
The subjects covered are eh any place but where anybody
would boldly go. Podcast maintenance is ignored in so many
different places. It's work. Who has the time for this
kind of work? You can't be authentic in a podcast
without doing research. If you lack curiosity, you're going to
take a few mental hits. What's your true point of view?
And do you really respect the listener's time. Sustaining relevance, consistency,
and growth are very rare to find. The question is
is it inside your chapters of wanting that podcast? I'm
Eryl and that's podcrashing one on one
