Launching on August 6th, episodes will be released weekly and will be available globally on iHeartRadio and wherever you get your podcasts. In "Hands Tied," listeners will be introduced to Lizz Melgar Rose who went from being interested in true crime to living it. In 2012 relatives found Lizz's mother Sandy Melgar shut in a closet, her hands bound behind her back, and her father Jim Melgar murdered. This awful tragedy was also a mystery and one Lizz was determined to solve using her lifelong interest in true crime as a guide. Podcast host Maggie Robinson Katz delves deep inside the police investigation, the courtroom where the drama unfolded as the jury wrestled with this truly shocking crime, and inside Lizz's own subsequent battle for answers - and for justice. Because there is one thing Lizz is convinced of, the wrong person is in prison for her father's murder. Maggie Robinson Katz said: "Though 'Hands Tied' is an examination into the shocking murder of Jim Melgar, my hope is that it transcends the typical true crime tropes and listeners connect with the human story at its core. The story of a daughter, and her tireless quest for answers and justice. I am grateful to Lizz for trusting us with her story - and her strength to continue her pursuit of justice. I am also grateful to BBC Studios and iHeart for joining forces with me to explore this case." Rich Knight, Director of Audio at BBC Studios, said: "At the heart of this extraordinary series is a violent crime and a search for answers. I'm grateful to our colleagues at iHeart for working with us to realise this story. And of course, I'm grateful to Lizz for letting us into her life. I hope listeners will be as moved by her fortitude as we were." Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts, said: "We are excited to debut 'Hands Tied' with BBC Studios and help amplify the unbelievable details of a case that led to Sandy Melgar's conviction.

Launching on August 6th, episodes will be released weekly and will be available globally on iHeartRadio and wherever you get your podcasts. In "Hands Tied," listeners will be introduced to Lizz Melgar Rose who went from being interested in true crime to living it. In 2012 relatives found Lizz's mother Sandy Melgar shut in a closet, her hands bound behind her back, and her father Jim Melgar murdered. This awful tragedy was also a mystery and one Lizz was determined to solve using her lifelong interest in true crime as a guide. Podcast host Maggie Robinson Katz delves deep inside the police investigation, the courtroom where the drama unfolded as the jury wrestled with this truly shocking crime, and inside Lizz's own subsequent battle for answers - and for justice. Because there is one thing Lizz is convinced of, the wrong person is in prison for her father's murder. Maggie Robinson Katz said: "Though 'Hands Tied' is an examination into the shocking murder of Jim Melgar, my hope is that it transcends the typical true crime tropes and listeners connect with the human story at its core. The story of a daughter, and her tireless quest for answers and justice. I am grateful to Lizz for trusting us with her story - and her strength to continue her pursuit of justice. I am also grateful to BBC Studios and iHeart for joining forces with me to explore this case." Rich Knight, Director of Audio at BBC Studios, said: "At the heart of this extraordinary series is a violent crime and a search for answers. I'm grateful to our colleagues at iHeart for working with us to realise this story. And of course, I'm grateful to Lizz for letting us into her life. I hope listeners will be as moved by her fortitude as we were." Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts, said: "We are excited to debut 'Hands Tied' with BBC Studios and help amplify the unbelievable details of a case that led to Sandy Melgar's conviction. Listeners everywhere will instantly become invested in Lizz's search for answers and feel her frustration as she comes up against a system she believes has failed her and her family, again and again." Hands Tied is a BBC Studios production which is co-produced and distributed by iHeartPodcasts.

Levittown, hosted by Bloomberg News reporters Olivia Carville and Margi Murphy, takes listeners to a New York suburb as dozens of young women discover that innocent pictures they shared with high-school classmates on social media have been manipulated into pornography and posted online. After being told by police and others there's nothing much that can be done, they set out to catch whoever did this and unwittingly join forces with a global band of investigators and hackers to combat the AI-fueled rise of deepfakes.
Building on reporting for their Bloomberg Businessweek cover story, Carville and Murphy range from the suburbs of New York to New Zealand, hearing from victims of deepfake porn, investigators who are seeking a legal foothold to stop it, and the online vigilantes who have stepped in to try to shut down the websites.
 
The first episode will debut March 21 with subsequent episodes available on March 22, 23, 28, 29, and 30. The podcast will also be featured on Bloomberg's flagship Big Take Podcast, which takes listeners through the best business, finance and economic stories from across the Bloomberg newsroom.

The podcast is narrated by David Duchovny who, like Baker, is an alumnus of Princeton University.

Every hockey fan knows the name Hobey Baker - collegiate hockey’s most prestigious trophy is named after him - but very few know the real story of this all-time great athlete. Using an archive of personal letters and source materials provided by the Mudd Library at Princeton University, as well as original research, the series charts Hobey’s glory days as the best collegiate hockey and football player in the nation, his post-grad ennui in Gilded Age New York City, and his exploits as a WWI fighter pilot, which ended tragically in a mysterious crash in 1918. Beyond Hobey’s adventures on the ice and in the air, this podcast also re-contextualizes the hockey legend through the lens of his lesser-known struggles as a queer man in the early 20th century.

To discuss the podcast and the amazing story of Hobey Baker – during the final days of Pride Month -- is Andrew Reynolds, Executive Producer of Searching for Hobey Baker, and an LGBT+ scholar who authored several books including The Children of Harvey Milk: How LGBTQ Politicians Changed the World and Designing Democracy in a Dangerous World.  ]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/61171806Sun, 01 Sep 2024 15:00:01 +0000Arroe CollinsPod Crashing episode 337 with Andrew Reynolds from the podcast Searching For Hobey Baker ESPN 30 for 30’s new podcast, Searching for Hobey Baker, tells the story of Hobey Baker who is widely considered the first ice hockey star in America.

Now the whole family can join in on the fun. LETTERS FROM CAMP is a delightful coming-of-age story created by and starring award-winning actress Jamie Lee Curtis about a young girl who goes to camp for the first time. Back for a third and final season, this series centers on the adventures of Mookie Hooper and her pals at Camp Cartwright. Told through letters to an unknown friend, the Audible Original features performances from Jamie Lee as Director Sue along with other high-profile actors.

Season 3 finds Mookie Hooper returning to Camp Cartwright with a huge secret: this is going to be her final summer at camp. So this has to be her best summer yet! Without anything to investigate, this is finally Mookie’s time to be a camper. She’s going to spend time with her buddy Carter Ruben-Rubens, finally make it into the inside of an inside joke with Fanny and her bunk, and possibly attempt a contact sport. The only thing that would put the summer over the top? Getting her first kiss. But that seems fairly unlikely since Squirrel Girl isn’t exactly anyone’s first crush.

Returning for their final summer are Jamie Lee Curtis as Director Sue, Sunny Sandler as Mookie Hooper, with performances by Kirby Howell-Baptiste and Edi Patterson, along with a few surprise guests. With all 3 seasons of the podcast now available, this episodic comedy, LETTERS FROM CAMP can help provide entertainment for story time, bedtime and even long car trips with lots of laughs thrown in for good measure.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/50851485Tue, 09 Aug 2022 09:00:02 +0000Arroe CollinsPod Crashing Episode 163 With Jamie Lee Curtis From The Podcast Letters From Camp Scripted podcasts have been growing in popularity with more Americans listening than ever before.

The podcast will debut on February 24, with new weekly episodes airing every Thursday on iHeartRadio and everywhere else podcasts are heard.

In 2010 rapper Daniel Lee, known by his stage name Tablo, was on top of the world. Tablo, then 29, was the leader of the Korean hip-hop group Epik High. The trio's fan base had grown drastically in the States as they toured across the country and soared to the top of the hip-hop charts, beating out Jay-Z and Kanye West for the number one spot. But at the height of the group's fame, an unexpected twist would bring Tablo into the public eye like never before.

As Tablo's fame began to grow, an online forum popped up questioning his education credentials. People were skeptical of the validity of his bachelor's and master's degrees from Stanford University. The forum, titled Taijinyo (loosely translate to "Tell the Truth Tablo") quickly turned into the anti-fan club questioning everything from his passports, diplomas, military service and the very nature of his identity. With hundreds of thousands of people doubting all evidence presented in defense of Tablo, family members began receiving death threats, and massive media attention followed.

Over a decade later, Authentic: The Story of Tablo dives deep into how this came to fruition. With an exclusive interview, host Dexter Thomas Jr. brings us through Tablo and Epik High's success story, how the media played a role in the blow up of Tajinyo's hunt for the "truth", and the official investigation into the musician. Back then, the story seemed so shocking and bizarre. Today, we are all too familiar with the cacophony of disinformation that riddles popular culture and public figures. The internet's real-life effects still reverberate in Tablo's life more than a decade after the scandal. His story is the story of fake news before fake news had a name. It's the story of erosion of truth before a U.S. president had to be fact checked by Twitter. It's the story of the half-life of internet outrage before we even had words to describe it. And it's the story of the power of hip hop before it made its way into the K Pop mainstream globally.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/50717121Wed, 27 Jul 2022 09:00:02 +0000Arroe CollinsPod Crashing Episode 161 Tablo And Dexter Thomas From The Podcast Authentic The Story Of Tablo Authentic: The Story of Tablo follows the Korean hip-hop superstar and his years-long struggle to prove to the world that he was not a fraud.

Erin reveals how after nearly two decades of abusing her body with bulimia and fighting the insecurities that came with dating a professional athlete, she finally found the secret to freedom and living a happy, healthy lifestyle.

The lifestyle blogger, wife and mom of two from Northern Virginia writes about her journey through recovery and to success in Squats and Margaritas- a Journey to Finding Balance. The first half is a gripping, raw depiction of what it’s like to live with--and overcome--an eating disorder. In the second half, Erin also includes details and useful information on the mind/body connection, tips to working out effectively and efficiently, and recipes and meal suggestions for feeling satisfied and maintaining an ideal, healthy weight.

Erin Washington also hosts a podcast named after her “Squats and Margaritas” brand. A natural extension, the podcast features interviews and talk about fitness, parenting, lifestyle and cocktails and whatever's trending with authentic guests who tell it like it is.]]>355falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/pod-crashing-episode-152-with-ty-longworth-from-whiskeylodeon--49726788This is the spot where you can join best friends Ty and Sean and drink while we revisit the old shows we loved as kids.

Bill Nye, LeVar Burton, George Takei, Michelle Yeoh, Alison Pill, Santiago Cabrera and Many More Partner With Roddenberry Entertainment to Recite 100 of Gene Roddenberry's Inspirational & Insightful Quotes in Honor of Late Creator's 100th Birthday, August 19, 2021


As part of the yearlong #thinkTREK campaign, honoring Star Trek creator and visionary Gene Roddenberry, over sixty notable celebrities, creatives, and scientific leaders have collaborated with Roddenberry Entertainment to share 100 of Mr. Roddenberry's most impactful quotes over the course of the 100 days leading up to his 100th birthday on August 19, 2021. As part of the sub-campaign dubbed #talkTREK, the videos will post daily across Roddenberry Entertainment's social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, beginning on May 12.


Accompanying the video quotes, is a 100 episode, limited series, daily podcast called "Quoting Gene Roddenberry" hosted by famed blogger Trent Vanegas (Pink is the New Blog) and actress Rachel True (The Craft). Each short-form episode begins with an audio reading of the day's quote from the video campaign, followed by a lively discussion between our hosts and that week's guest host. The conversations are invigorating deep dives into the meaning, history, ethos and impact of Gene Roddenberry's words. Currently, guest hosts include actor Ming Chen, actress Mary Chieffo, Oscar nominated screenwriter Josh Olson and more.


During the same 100 days as our videos, and coordinated to match the video quotes released, Amazon's Alexa will be able to respond to the prompt "Alexa, play the Rodenberry daily quote?" - providing that day's quote through the Alexa voice app.


"My father, Gene Roddenberry, was an ordinary man with an extraordinary vision for the world - one of unconditional love, diversity, and unity of all people - and that vision is shown through not only Star Trek, but through the words he spoke in his lectures, his interviews and his writings. To have members of the Star Trek franchise and celebrity fans bring those words back to life is a very exciting way to celebrate a momentous year in his history," says Rod Roddenberry.


Noteworthy participants in the #talkTREK campaign include Bill Nye, LeVar Burton (Star Trek: TNG), George Takei (Star Trek: TOS), Michelle Yeoh (Star Trek: Discovery), Alison Pill (Star Trek: Picard), Santiago Cabrera (Star Trek: Picard), Michelle Forbes (Star Trek: TNG), Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek: TNG, Star Trek: Picard), Jerry O'Connell (Star Trek: Lower Decks), Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Comic Book Men), Paul Sorvino (Goodfellas, Nixon), Brenda Strong (Star Trek: TNG, Desperate Housewives), and many more.


#talkTREK is one component of a yearlong, multi-faceted celebration of Roddenberry's creative genius and his contributions to culture and the humanities. In an effort to promote Roddenberry's ethos of kindness, inclusivity, and always working to better yourself, Roddenberry Entertainment and Star Trek fan communities are encouraging everyone to #thinkTREK: to see and act on Star Trek's philosophies in our own personal relationships, in daily life, and in the world.


The #thinkTREK campaign initiatives include not only #talkTREK but also #seeTREK, #beTREK, and #makeTREK, each playing out online and across social media. Thousands of Star Trek fans have engaged with the #seeTREK and #beTREK campaigns by submitting examples of where they see Star Trek out in the world (like in a pie presented to look like the Starship Enterprise), and of real-life people and stories who represent being Star Trek, which means reflecting the values embraced by the series, like an astronaut who achieved his dreams after starting out in life as a farmworker. In #buildTREK, master builder Samuel Hatmaker is designing and building a series of four iconic moments from the series out of toy bricks, the first of which was Captain Kirk and Lieutenant Uhura's Kiss, which was shared by Collider.

Also this year, The Roddenberry Foundation has donated $100,000 to the Comic-Con Museum to support renovation and programming plans, recognizing the Museum's efforts to highlight inclusivity, innovation, and creativity while honoring Gene Roddenberry's legacy.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/46128532Wed, 18 Aug 2021 05:00:17 +0000Arroe CollinsRODDENBERRY ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES #TALKTREK, A CAMPAIGN WITHIN YEARLONG #THINKTREK CELEBRATION HONORING STAR TREK VISIONARY GENE RODDENBERRY'S CENTENNIAL YEAR Bill Nye, LeVar Burton, George Takei, Michelle Yeoh, Alison Pill, Santiago Cabrera and...

Bill Nye, LeVar Burton, George Takei, Michelle Yeoh, Alison Pill, Santiago Cabrera and Many More Partner With Roddenberry Entertainment to Recite 100 of Gene Roddenberry's Inspirational & Insightful Quotes in Honor of Late Creator's 100th Birthday, August 19, 2021


As part of the yearlong #thinkTREK campaign, honoring Star Trek creator and visionary Gene Roddenberry, over sixty notable celebrities, creatives, and scientific leaders have collaborated with Roddenberry Entertainment to share 100 of Mr. Roddenberry's most impactful quotes over the course of the 100 days leading up to his 100th birthday on August 19, 2021. As part of the sub-campaign dubbed #talkTREK, the videos will post daily across Roddenberry Entertainment's social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, beginning on May 12.


Accompanying the video quotes, is a 100 episode, limited series, daily podcast called "Quoting Gene Roddenberry" hosted by famed blogger Trent Vanegas (Pink is the New Blog) and actress Rachel True (The Craft). Each short-form episode begins with an audio reading of the day's quote from the video campaign, followed by a lively discussion between our hosts and that week's guest host. The conversations are invigorating deep dives into the meaning, history, ethos and impact of Gene Roddenberry's words. Currently, guest hosts include actor Ming Chen, actress Mary Chieffo, Oscar nominated screenwriter Josh Olson and more.


During the same 100 days as our videos, and coordinated to match the video quotes released, Amazon's Alexa will be able to respond to the prompt "Alexa, play the Rodenberry daily quote?" - providing that day's quote through the Alexa voice app.


"My father, Gene Roddenberry, was an ordinary man with an extraordinary vision for the world - one of unconditional love, diversity, and unity of all people - and that vision is shown through not only Star Trek, but through the words he spoke in his lectures, his interviews and his writings. To have members of the Star Trek franchise and celebrity fans bring those words back to life is a very exciting way to celebrate a momentous year in his history," says Rod Roddenberry.


Noteworthy participants in the #talkTREK campaign include Bill Nye, LeVar Burton (Star Trek: TNG), George Takei (Star Trek: TOS), Michelle Yeoh (Star Trek: Discovery), Alison Pill (Star Trek: Picard), Santiago Cabrera (Star Trek: Picard), Michelle Forbes (Star Trek: TNG), Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek: TNG, Star Trek: Picard), Jerry O'Connell (Star Trek: Lower Decks), Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Comic Book Men), Paul Sorvino (Goodfellas, Nixon), Brenda Strong (Star Trek: TNG, Desperate Housewives), and many more.


#talkTREK is one component of a yearlong, multi-faceted celebration of Roddenberry's creative genius and his contributions to culture and the humanities. In an effort to promote Roddenberry's ethos of kindness, inclusivity, and always working to better yourself, Roddenberry Entertainment and Star Trek fan communities are encouraging everyone to #thinkTREK: to see and act on Star Trek's philosophies in our own personal relationships, in daily life, and in the world.

Here Comes the Break stars Emmy-nominated actor Asante Blackk, best known for his roles in When They See Us (Netflix), This is Us (NBC), and Social Distance (Netflix), who is also an executive producer on the show, and rising star Daniella Perkins. Perkins is also a producer on the show and Nickelodeon's first multi-racial princess starring as Ciara in Knight Squad with past credits including co-hosting Drop That Seat with Kida The Great from executive producer Nick Cannon and the animated miniseries Middle School Moguls.

The podcast series explores life and music through the mind of Ruben (voiced by Blackk), a young creator hustling to find an audience, and to find himself. Ruben is an avid hip-hop fan growing up in the suburbs of NYC, struggling with family pressure and anxiety issues. With the help of his friends, he anonymously launches a podcast that goes viral and quickly finds his voice as an interviewer and host. Ruben's podcast also becomes a must stop for emerging hip hop artists to be interviewed and within the fictional story, will feature and promote Def Jam artists. A groundbreaking podcast about self-identity, creator culture, family, and friendships, the show aims to entertain, while raising awareness about mental health to its listeners.

"My whole life I've had a passion for acting, music, and helping people be their best selves," said Asante Blackk. "My new podcast, Here Comes The Break, was the perfect opportunity to blend all three, and I can't wait to share it with everybody. The show brings together music and media in a way that's new and exciting, while also sparking positive conversations around mental health and self-expression through art. Here Comes The Break tackles those crazy, sad, stagnant, and beautiful moments we all have growing up as teens and young adults. I hope you'll tune in and hop on for a wild ride."

The series represents a new wave of artist promotion for record labels and a pioneering approach to artist discovery for fans rooted in unique musician interaction. Social media has fostered a closer connection between artist and listener, with fans craving deeper interaction and relation with artists. The convergence between podcasting and artist promotion in Here Comes the Break allows fans to get to know artists on a deeper level, providing a format for the artists to communicate who they are, what they stand for, and to be vulnerable, all within the same vehicle that introduces listeners to their new music. The intimacy of podcasting combined with the power of music and storytelling provides a unique platform for Here Comes the Break to foster the connection fans crave along with new music discovery.

With new episodes dropping every Thursday beginning May 13th, each of the ten Here Comes the Break episodes will feature an interview with one emerging Def Jam artist and exclusively premiere one of their songs, with a full soundtrack on Def Jam to follow featuring music from all artists in the series. Artists featured in the first season include: Nevaeh Jolie, Masio Gunz, Ohno, Stephen Moses, LA the GOAT, Saint Bodhi, Bino Rideaux, Nasty C, Bobby Sessions, and Oompa.

"The convergence of podcasting and the music business is opening up new avenues of exposure for artists, and innovations for creators," said Brady Sadler, co-founder of Double Elvis. "Music is at the core of all our content and partnering with iHeartRadio and Def Jam on this series allows us to introduce our audience of music fans to an emerging generation of new talent and explore opportunities for music discovery and promotion, all while chronicling important topics like mental health and self-expression through storytelling."

"We are always seeking to find innovative ways to connect our artists with fans. This groundbreaking partnership offers a unique approach to music discovery, through not only scripted narratives but exclusive music premieres and artist interviews in an emerging and exciting new medium," said Rich Isaacson, GM/EVP of Def Jam Recordings.

"iHeartRadio is built on the foundation of music discovery and connecting fans to new artists they will love. It's energizing to be able to fuse this core into a podcast by teaming up with Def Jam and Double Elvis Productions to launch Here Comes The Break. I've loved watching our teams develop a concept that bridges podcasting and music for a unique storytelling experience," said Will Pearson, Chief Operating Officer for the iHeartPodcast Network. "This podcast is a relatable coming-of-age tale that brilliantly combines real artists, their personal stories, new and emerging music, and a sense of vulnerability in each episode. I think our audiences will embrace it."

Here Comes The Break is the latest podcast combining music and storytelling from Double Elvis, the music-focused, audio-first media company led by Brady Sadler and Jake Brennan, creator of Disgraceland, the #1 most downloaded music podcast according to Podtrac, 27 Club, and Blood On The Tracks.

Being educational to just having fun, you don’t need a concrete building with a huge tower behind it to be heard.
When we first started out with Pod-Crashing the goal was to help open imaginations by way of showcasing tips of the trade. Rather than assuming that you could hold you head above water, it was my goal to help bring people into the open sea with a vision of always reaching for quality over just banging it out.
Part of that process is introducing you to other Podcasters. Unlike radio and television the people doing this vocal thing are the most down to earth creative minds you’ll meet. Learning new tricks and talking about it with you is just part of what we do. It makes our community that much stronger.

Podcasts are no different than snowflakes. There are no two the same. They may resemble each other. The same intensions at hand. Probably the same listening audience. It’s still impossible to call them the same.
Making each podcast unique are the captains running the ship. Their visions. Ambitions. Connections and reactions. All four play a huge role in shaping the final stages of how you want your podcast to grow.
I prefer to stay completely away from local issues and sales probably because when I first leaped into this circle of podcast love, the pioneers leading the way in 2012 were hooked on how far we could reach without putting focus the local street.
I was told to stop acting like a radio station.
I still pick up on that vibe with the enormous amount of Podcast promoters doing all they can to score your business. Every letter and conversation clearly states how important it is to reach. They promise more new listeners, more sharing and longer term impact.
Then I bump into fans and followers of Matt Burton from Lincolnton, NC and Pete Kaliner from Asheville. Both are super serving local. Matt with Hometown Radio and Pete with statewide politics. Which he believes is extremely important during these days of the massive numbers of those reaching.

When I first came up with the plan to layout a series of episodes dedicated to Podcasting, I truly didn’t have any mission other than to find my own focus. I figured if I wrote about this new age shape of broadcasting I’d learn something from the enormous amount of content available.
While collecting notebooks of pen scratches and listening to every professional share their points of direction, the weekly goal was to be a movie style critic for podcasting. Yeah ok that didn’t happen. I don’t have what it takes to form an opinion about other people’s art.
To me it is an art! It’s a blizzard white canvas hung on digital walls and millions of people from around the world stop in to check out your gallery. That’s it! I host episodes about what it’s like to manage my verbal picture collection.
In doing so I began to share incredible conversations with other well-known podcasters. But I would never post them as part of Pod-Crashing. The fear of running out of a good idea. You can’t develop a podcast with only half of the plan in action. I waited and waited until one day I finally took note of the pretty long list of podcasters that have been collected. And the list keeps getting longer.

The project being podcasting. According to Edison Research’s Senior VP Tom Webster, “Podcast listeners have spent the past two months checking into episodes for 6.5 hours a week.”
Wait wait hold on. Before we pull out the party bus and champagne, we need to look at the larger picture.
The past two months have been February and March 2020. We were just getting into the Coronavirus experience. According to Tom, a lot of decision makers and podcast performers were expecting larger listening habits but the shutdown is proving to put performers on a different path.
Compared to January 2020 there’ve been no changes. Listeners were still checking in at 6.5 hours per week.
The biggest change is when listeners were getting locked into the episodes. On a normal business day it was during the commute or while at work or school. Being shut in at home totally took away that one on one alone time between the hosts and passenger.
So what’s changed with podcasting? The biggest audience grabbers. Leading the pack right now are news driven podcasts crammed with endless content about the virus and how to survive in an ever changing community. According to Edison Research News features are up 25% to 39% over the past two months.
Also checking in with a bigger following are podcasts that lean on religion, self-help and philosophy.
Sport shows not so much. Those that are getting the hits have redesigned their layout in the way of bringing forward more stories about the athletes and less about building a better game.
Even NPR has seen a 4% drop in listeners but maintain their strict policy of staying true to the format of each episode being no longer than ten to fifteen minutes. According to Ana Grundman her audience knows how much time they’ve got available and having such programming fits into stay at home cluttered day.
If you’re just getting into podcasting this is something to keep close to your heart. Adopting that shorter format and staying true to who and what your listeners are doing during the shutdown is speaking their street. It’s something they can not only relate with but grow with.
Knowing that there are no long drawn out commutes means listeners puts you ahead of the curve in the way of showing respect to your followers by way of recognizing the house the full of kids, the spouse is doing business in the kitchen while the others in a guest bedroom are trying to keep their head above the company expectations.
On a personal experience level. I saw a slight rise in listenership in April 2020. Mainly because of the huge drop I was experiencing a month earlier. I didn’t drop podcast episodes but I reconditioned them in the way of making them more about what the globe was experiencing.
Like Edison Research mentioned, shows that were religious based, self-help or philosophy were gaining in strength. The way I moved around that on the other podcasts was to make small shifts in my conversation format with artists, authors and actors. Don’t be afraid to talk about reality.
I also began an entirely new series called Play It Forward which puts a ton of attention on everyone in the entertainment industry affected but not infected by the Coronavirus. Plus, on my podcast Creativity The Addiction I began to reword how I described what creativity is. It’s not just artist thing but a huge part of our business world. Nothing gets done without creativity. Being shut down with no work doesn’t mean you can’t still feed that beast. If you don’t you’re setting yourself up for a hard hit of anxiety, depression, guilt and shame.
My biggest worry is Coronavirus burnout. How far do we as podcasters go before listeners start seeking a more up tempo escape?
Let’s look into this. The deeper we get into this shut down while experiencing several attempts at rebuilding the business world, in the end the employee is still gonna be the one taking the financial hit.
Meaning… How long can the average person hold onto their internet connection? Those endless date plans on the smart phone are awesome when you can afford to pay the bill. How hard will the impact be on podcasting if internet use takes a dump?
I can hear the experts now. Not going to happen. We live by being digitally connected. If people are having a tough time paying the rent two months in a row, how much longer before they drop what they love most. That content connection?
This is where NPR and iHeart Radio win big. They know they’ve got an empire of podcast followers that are amazingly faithful. Both companies also have terrestrial radio. It’s free. Will always be free. I’m not saying they’ll do it but they’ve got the stage to bring those podcasts forward to that hardcore fan base.
So what’s the moral of the story? Embrace for the change. Listening habits are on the move. Stay closely tuned to how your listeners are living life without having to jump the shark, or drop the podcast.
Being aware is your biggest tool. Maybe it’s time we learn from the people of fame and begin a new process of doing live shows on Instagram and Facebook. The goal should always be to re-engage.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/26708515Mon, 04 May 2020 19:00:15 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 54: Unknown Universe Is the new movement becoming more vibrant?

We’ve all seen the 5 o’clock news and saw in the end that decision makers weren’t moved.
I posted on Facebook. Sometimes we have to be reminded of how important a Writing Instrument is. We can easily get lost in a sea of protest banners and other people’s loud voices without realizing that you were will probably never be recognized for being there.
With a Writing Instrument you can release you. Then take it to a long lasting podcast or blog. The reach is well beyond a protest on the streets of Anywhere America. Be your own leader and locate your voice in an age where its time that you accept the role of being a leader. Pick up a Writing Instrument and start a movement.
Ok… let’s get serious. Another great reason to add Podcast Magazine to your frontline of gaining access to unending content is to learn all you can about truly participating with where your voice can make a difference.
The founder of the magazine recently unveiled valuable information about the reality of where podcasting presently stands.
There are officially 1 million podcasts available. Wow! Sounds like we should be shouting in the streets like a wild party on Saturday.
Not according to Steve. While other industries find such a place on the map as a victory the truer picture of is has become two different faces. Of those 1 million podcasts only 47% are active. So that drops the number down to 470,000.
Wait… Out that number only 46% have more than ten episodes. Which we talked about on this very podcast in the early days. I called the episode Unlucky 7. It was inspired by how I was seeing most getting into podcasting barely making it to their seventh episode.
So according to Steve Olsher’s report there are in essence 216,000 podcasts proving to have longevity. Which he sees as the perfect opportunity to keep pushing your podcast forward.
Stephen does predict that by years end there’ll be 1.5 million podcasts, which he sees turning into a huge billion dollar business.
Why wouldn’t you support the cause by participating with the movement? Yes there’s a lot of pressure being put on podcasters living up to the performance but you can push through it by showing up more than ten episodes a year. Know what podcasting is. Grow with where podcasting will be tomorrow. Reach beyond the moment and be heard.
Don’t do just a sports show with last nights scores. Build your connection with stories that can still be heard ten years from now. I get it binge watching television is a hot issue but make it real by keeping it locked on forward motion. Podcasting isn’t really about what’s happening Now.

We’ve all seen the 5 o’clock news and saw in the end that decision makers weren’t moved.
I posted on Facebook. Sometimes we have to be reminded of how important a Writing Instrument is. We can easily get lost in a sea of protest banners and other people’s loud voices without realizing that you were will probably never be recognized for being there.
With a Writing Instrument you can release you. Then take it to a long lasting podcast or blog. The reach is well beyond a protest on the streets of Anywhere America. Be your own leader and locate your voice in an age where its time that you accept the role of being a leader. Pick up a Writing Instrument and start a movement.
Ok… let’s get serious. Another great reason to add Podcast Magazine to your frontline of gaining access to unending content is to learn all you can about truly participating with where your voice can make a difference.
The founder of the magazine recently unveiled valuable information about the reality of where podcasting presently stands.
There are officially 1 million podcasts available. Wow! Sounds like we should be shouting in the streets like a wild party on Saturday.
Not according to Steve. While other industries find such a place on the map as a victory the truer picture of is has become two different faces. Of those 1 million podcasts only 47% are active. So that drops the number down to 470,000.
Wait… Out that number only 46% have more than ten episodes. Which we talked about on this very podcast in the early days. I called the episode Unlucky 7. It was inspired by how I was seeing most getting into podcasting barely making it to their seventh episode.
So according to Steve Olsher’s report there are in essence 216,000 podcasts proving to have longevity. Which he sees as the perfect opportunity to keep pushing your podcast forward.
Stephen does predict that by years end there’ll be 1.5 million podcasts, which he sees turning into a huge billion dollar business.
Why wouldn’t you support the cause by participating with the movement? Yes there’s a lot of pressure being put on podcasters living up to the performance but you can push through it by showing up more than ten episodes a year. Know what podcasting is. Grow with where podcasting will be tomorrow. Reach beyond the moment and be heard.
Don’t do just a sports show with last nights scores. Build your connection with stories that can still be heard ten years from now. I get it binge watching television is a hot issue but make it real by keeping it locked on forward motion. Podcasting isn’t really about what’s happening Now. Maybe, if you’re lucky ten people might check in for a daily Hollywood update. Two weeks from today they’ll be labeling you old news.

I’m not a Trouble Maker or Firestarter but I’ve always been a walker of my own way. I can openly admit that during the thirty three years I invested in Terrestrial Radio I drove a lot of decision makers and leaders over the edge. I truly love those that took that time weekly if not daily to sit me down in their nicely designed programming offices and calmly said, “I like how you try but every so often we need to pull you back. I’d rather have that on my team then someone that makes no attempt at being truly seen and or heard.”
Does that mean without that brilliant programming staff and collection of radio consultants that I’m a rule breaker and ball buster on the digital platform? Well… after this episode you’ll have a clearer picture of why people have been known to say, “There are several different ways people host and post their podcasts. You know exactly what you’re going to get when you tap into the source of sound. You can’t say that about Arroe.”
I’m absolutely without a doubt 1,000 percent all over the place! But rarely does anyone stop to ask why. They just accept that I’m a weird guy.
It all begins with how I program podcasting. What? I know. Drop the vocal tracks. Clean it up. Post the monkey and watch the fans visiting the vocal zoo try to feed the animals. Yeah ok but that’s not me.
I look at podcasting the same way I see programming a radio station. It’s not right or wrong in a world still discovering its shape and identity. First let me clarify a serious point of direction. The only reason why I never took the required steps to grow into a pair of radio programming slippers is because of the enormous amount of people that literally knew me best. The experience was like the old Cheech and Chong bit. Look! What is it? Looks like dog dung. What? Yeah! Taste. What? They knew I’d drive people totally insane with unheard of expectations and that’s not fair to a creative mind and spirit.
Come on… In 2020 there’s a huge chance you’ve heard and created podcasting and have developed your own opinion as to whether it is or isn’t for you. It really is the Wild West and there are a lot of performers that aren’t in the mood or mindset to reset their sense of freedom. It’s gung ho or no go.
I totally grasp the concept of putting everything on the hook and seeing whatever fish is willing to bite in an ocean so large science won’t even touch it.
I first began programming podcasts in 2015. Watching how listeners were popping in for lengthy periods of time listening to several episodes at once I knew I needed to provide a variety of guests rather than focusing on music and movies. The mission was to bring more lifestyle into the Unplugged and Totally Uncut picture. People Magazine is brimming with every sort of interview. We needed to be part of that circle of content.
At the time I was hosting three different podcasts. Each one had its own personality but in order to get more reach I needed to cross-pollinate the episodes. Which meant it was time to figure out who was tapping in and why.
While creating an umbrella effect of podcasts I still needed to find focus for listeners that didn’t want to see camera people teamed up with musicians. So that introduced another podcast that was streamlined to bringing those conversations on demand.
Paying close attention to what’s posted is a full time job. View From The Writing Instrument is about authors, songwriters and anybody else that depends on using words to get their art out there. As the program director I had to exercise caution in the way of never putting two published books up back to back. The bigger bang was coming from the presented variety.
My side of the business of podcasting was to study how each episode was performing. It the manuscript writers were hauling butt then I had to think about giving them their own podcast. I talk to a lot of doctors and have yet to give them their own space. The hits are there but is it worth being a standalone podcast?
I host another podcast titled Like Its Live. It lives up to its name. Every conversation is posted unedited like its live. I took a chance on listeners wanting something that wasn’t edited. To be on the edge just as I am when I pop out an odd ball question with a huge hole of dead air at the end. These conversations are later edited and placed under different umbrella podcasts.
The Lyrics From Billy’s Forest won’t ever make it to Unplugged and Totally Uncut. There are certain motivational episodes that would push listeners away like a bad Country song. The same is true with the episodes found on Creativity The Addiction. Unless it has something to do with what the main umbrella is trying to project then it can’t go up for the sake of having something new.
Programming my podcasts was a huge gamble in 2015 mainly because the early years for me were about locating a platform that would push what I do out there a little further than most. I didn’t want to be compared to anyone. It had to be its own image or I’d walk away. That meant trusting the gut and tucking in the chin.
The programming logs are totally taken from the way terrestrial radio does its game. When you pull back and look at the entire picture a new episode on all the podcast features something new going up every hour.
Sixteen different podcasts. One of them always has a new feature. They all fit under the biggest umbrella labeled Arroe Collins.
Programming hours are extremely important.
The only hours for Unplugged and Totally Uncut are 7 10 1 4 10pm
View from the Writing Instrument 8 11 2 5 11pm
The Choice’s hours are 9 12 6 and 9pm
Whereas Like it’s live is midnight til six in the morning.
So what’s the moral of the story? Play with it til you break it. Pick it back up. Glue it together then get ready to break it again. Crafting your sound and image doesn’t just happen. It requires chance and a lot of work. Make it yours. Unique and worthy. Don’t stop at what you think a podcast is. Living it like it’s the greatest thing on the planet. Or like Gene Simmons says nobody will believe it is.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/25653278Fri, 17 Apr 2020 19:06:20 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 52 Programming Let’s lay it on the line.

I’m not a fan of the word interview. Why I chose to hoist it into the title is totally trying to spend less time having to explain what it is I do. I always say, “Let’s have a conversation!” People are like, “OK what about?” “No No No… lets do an interview.” “Ohhhhhhhh”
I get in a lot of verbal wrestling matches with friends, family, social media connections and whomever else happens to walk on my lawn. My passion. It gets in the way of everything. Interviewing creative people is one such place. I have a huge passion and drive to get into a conversation. It’s always worth fighting for.
Between 1979 to 2012 I did what every program direction and radio consultant told me what to do. 95% of the time I still believe they were wrong. I dreamed of the day when I could take them on a true journey through the creative self I was and still am. But it wasn’t about me. It was their station and their livelihood and my job was to participate or locate a new place to plug in my earphones.
With podcasting I am everything they once were. I play by the very rules they stamped into my noggin. Yes I’m very strict on myself and believe in showing up every day to bring forward a product that nearly 1.1 million listeners have tapped into. I stand before you confessing that no matter how crazy those decision makers made me, I wouldn’t be where I am with podcasting if they hadn’t been present.
As a podcaster you are your own boss. You are the writer, voice over talent, producer, promotions director and Operations Manager keeping every personality glued on the plan and purpose.
This didn’t happen overnight. The walk has been incredibly lonely and filled with a lot of strikeouts at the plate. During this Coronavirus breakdown and job loss point on the map I expect more terrestrial radio people to make their way to the digital stage. You can’t turn off being a Broadcaster. It’s worse than an itch in the center of your back and you can’t reach it.
I’m approached everyday by podcast promoters. Not one or two. Mega amounts of great writers and speakers that claim they’ve got the free ticket to the fountain of youth. “I can get you real people! Lots of them!” My general response is, “Please send me your podcast. I’d like to listen to your episodes and go to the sites to watch how people pick them up.” I never get an email with a podcast attached.
A promoter the other day wrote, “Your episodes only appear on one platform correct?” Keep in mind this is someone trying to get my business. Very calmly I replied, “Please listen to every interview. The way I ask questions and how I bring in several different subjects. As the writer, talent and producer I need each episode to reach five to fifteen different podcasts.”
Sounds like I’m a smartass right? I’m not trying to be. I need to play a smart game and that requires me to take the time to educate anyone walking by. The goal is to drop the ego and the door because out there in the real world nobody cares about the passion I put into every question. They’ve got a job to do and right now with the global shutdown everyone thinks they’re a podcast promoter.
In talking with other podcasters and their performances the average person can pretty much see that those of us broadcasting are pretty much convinced that we’re locked in on the next big thing. I remember Gene Simons of KISS telling me, “If you don’t act like it’s bigger than life nobody will think it’s bigger than life.”
Back to the original thought. The depth of the interview. Everything I get into is on a time limit. I’m not Marc Maron of Howard Stern lucky. I get 7 to 20 minutes then you’ve got to bail. I love it when the producers step through the restraint and say, “Take 30 or 40.” And I’ve only prepped for 7. That means the voice over talent is gonna have to listen to everything being said and bring new questions into the conversation by what was said. Question their answers.
Always try your best to end your interviews or episodes with depth. If the time keeper says you need to be out at 1:18 then you need to begin wrapping up at 1:16. Taking an interview over that line is going to earn you an email from the promoter. Or they aren’t going to send another invite. Plus having a solid question with two minutes to go allows the person you’re talking with to think the conversation is pretty much over and that’s when they let their guard down. The real one of a kind story starts now.
Introduce a small area where it sounds like things are stopping then leave the machine on while recording. Never turn it off until they’ve left the studio or hung up the phone. They’re always going to say something. If you’ve given them enough room to breathe.
I got into this way of recording back in the 90’s because all of these famous artists would step into the studio and say the best things and because didn’t have the microphone on I missed out on a very unique opportunity. Every person that steps into the room will see the recording light on. That’s the universal signal of somethings hot and it’s being recorded or the light wouldn’t be on.
As the producer you return to the front before all the formal hellos and how are yous and make it part of the conversation. Get creative. I’ve only had three or four people send me an email asking that I don’t use that part of the conversation. I play along. OK cool and the relationship doesn’t get damaged.
So what’s the moral of the story? I get it your podcast is the greatest thing since the invention of pasta meeting sauce. Promoters are ready to work with you if you’ve got the space to create with them. Another words. If Paul McCartney is only available at 9:32 it’s a yes or no question. You can do it or you don’t. Once you land it don’t walk into the conversation thinking your episodes are more mighty then the winds that shake the mile high bridge on Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina.
Every person you talk with has something to sell. Put your focus on the present without getting into a conversation about the past that listeners already know about. I wouldn’t want to talk to Paul McCartney about the Beatles or Wings. I wanna know about his first children’s book Hey Granddude. I want to hear the childlike voice he uses while reading it young people. They don’t know of his historic lie and style but in that moment where he’s reading the dude can paint a funny face!!!]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/25242623Sun, 12 Apr 2020 10:00:13 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 51: The Depth Of The Interview First.

There it was! In plain public view! Do what you do! Create an army of followers with your point of view!
Outside of cutting and pasting the personality of the station website laid there nearly silent.
That’s how I was first introduced to Blogging. 2006. Man I hit it hard! Every subject known to man. I wanted to know where people were and how I could get into their circle of conversation. It still wasn’t enough room for what I wanted to say. I mean they were letting us bring things forward whatever it took to drive listeners and followers deeper into our site.
It gave us the ultimate permission to generate conversation beyond the image of the radio station. Why not invest a ton of creative energy into the sport of it?
A couple of years into it I got bored. I needed a new layer of where people were at. I know! Vlogging! Yeah ok for about five minutes.
Ok, what’s all this about? You know what gets old? People that think they have a voice or a reason to bring volume to their beliefs but refuse to build their own podcast and platform. If they governments got you all wrapped up in a larger than life conspiracy that resembles a national takeover don’t get pissed off at the podcasters that don’t want to give you time. Build your own layout and play the game!
I’ve never been a fan of radio listeners becoming a part of the on-air performance. I’m all about the one on one relationship. A listener pops up and can easily steer the entire day in different direction. All of that show prep just went out the door.
For many podcasters who aren’t hooked up to that instant connection to listeners, the voices they get to hear come after the episode. Usually through a text or email. God forbid you take it to Facebook because that’s where enemy lines have already gathered and their waiting for any type of response to pounce on a moment that’s pretty much long gone and forgotten.
First… I love listeners. Don’t get me wrong. Where the host gets off the path is when an unexpected twist is tossed into a machine that’s been locked on forward motion. I’ve really enjoyed doing these conversations and interviews with all walks of life that have been affected but not infected by the Coronavirus. One problem. The conspiracy tribes are loaded for bear and want to be heard.
Anyone watching news whether it’s globally or local, the headlines are doing their job. They’ve painted this picture of how the United States could easily fall into its darkest days ever. The Stock Market still can’t fully recover and the Unemployment rate is 6 million Americans without jobs. A 3000% increase.
My reasons for wanting to podcast are not linked to politics. I may talk with those making laws but it’s never at the level of trying to chop down their cherry tree. Here’s where I get worried. I know a lot of starter shows begging for any type of attention. The power of saying yes to any guest is more vibrant today than any other time.
We cannot turn the pandemic into Area 51 or a 9-11 planes being controlled by the government.
If this is what you believe create a podcast. Make your voice present. Do the work. Promote it. Put it out there and exercise your freedom of speech. A podcast to study is the most recent season of Slow Burn where we learn the whole east west Hip Hop battle was media generated. He said she said and a lot of it didn’t need to find its story being published.
Choosing how you podcast is part of the growing process. I’m absolutely inspired by the biggest names in the newspaper industry have located their new age paths of putting their investigative reporting to work for them in a podcast. Journalism today is reaching unheard of respect because they weren’t just another voice on a talk radio show or podcast. They made it their own.
Ronan Farrow is a brilliant talent to grow toward because he knew he had a story. The television network wouldn’t air it. He kept pushing the envelope which led to multiple connections he wouldn’t have had if someone didn’t say no.
Coronavirus is an uncomfortable place to hang an uneducated hat. Every new day is a place we can compare our notes to. What we knew four weeks ago is nothing to what’s unfolding today. The information and education continues to gain strength because the most brilliant minds on the planet have united like no other time in history. That’s not an opinion. That’s fact.
A Buddhist priest named Thich Nhat Hahn chose to visit the United States during the center of the Vietnam War. Protesters were angry that he wasn’t raising banners and shouting. His view was completely coming from a different shape of the situation. If he was in the states to bring attention to the war why not do it by exercising the peace living in your soul?
What’s the moral of the story? Be heard on a podcast or YouTube video. Use your words when blogging. Be you. But be aware. Are you trying to create a movement or win a popularity contest? At no time in man’s history on this planet has there been so many different ways to communicate. Why waste your time being just a listener when you can own the stage?
Podcasting is still an infant just as much as Twitter was a baby during the exchange of government change in Libya. Believe it or not Irish Limericks were once used to get the wartime conditions across country lines to outsiders. In Central America poetry was used in the 1980s to help tell the tales which invited new hope and supplies. Country music before it became. You ready. It was the local newspaper. They put the bad times in songs so people would remember the events.
There are a billion podcast books available today to learn new tricks of the trade. If you’ve got a conspiracy driven message that needs to reach out there and be heard make sure you don’t try to make a profit from the potential of generating a large audience. Do it for free. It’ll make you look like a better rebel. May the force be with you!]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/24781981Fri, 03 Apr 2020 18:48:11 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 50 I once had an Operations Manager that got very upset with the on-air terrestrial radio staff because they wouldn’t take advantage of the wide open space provided by the radio stations webpage.

I’ve never been a fan of radio listeners becoming a part of the on-air performance. I’m all about the one on one relationship. A listener pops up and can easily steer the entire day in different direction. All of that show prep just went out the door.
For many podcasters who aren’t hooked up to that instant connection to listeners, the voices they get to hear come after the episode. Usually through a text or email. God forbid you take it to Facebook because that’s where enemy lines have already gathered and their waiting for any type of response to pounce on a moment that’s pretty much long gone and forgotten.
First… I love listeners. Don’t get me wrong. Where the host gets off the path is when an unexpected twist is tossed into a machine that’s been locked on forward motion. I’ve really enjoyed doing these conversations and interviews with all walks of life that have been affected but not infected by the Coronavirus. One problem. The conspiracy tribes are loaded for bear and want to be heard.
Anyone watching news whether it’s globally or local, the headlines are doing their job. They’ve painted this picture of how the United States could easily fall into its darkest days ever. The Stock Market still can’t fully recover and the Unemployment rate is 6 million Americans without jobs. A 3000% increase.
My reasons for wanting to podcast are not linked to politics. I may talk with those making laws but it’s never at the level of trying to chop down their cherry tree. Here’s where I get worried. I know a lot of starter shows begging for any type of attention. The power of saying yes to any guest is more vibrant today than any other time.
We cannot turn the pandemic into Area 51 or a 9-11 planes being controlled by the government.
If this is what you believe create a podcast. Make your voice present. Do the work. Promote it. Put it out there and exercise your freedom of speech. A podcast to study is the most recent season of Slow Burn where we learn the whole east west Hip Hop battle was media generated. He said she said and a lot of it didn’t need to find its story being published.
Choosing how you podcast is part of the growing process. I’m absolutely inspired by the biggest names in the newspaper industry have located their new age paths of putting their investigative reporting to work for them in a podcast.

Week number two of the Great 2020 Coronavirus meltdown. One by one the bigger cities are officially declaring their boundary’s closed. As people are forced to stay inside the President teased us on Monday March 23rd that he was ready to put America back to work by Easter.
I felt hope. Like maybe he knew something and within minutes we’d all be leaping on the streets celebration like they did when WWII was announced over. Where’s the girl and the guy with that famous NYC kiss?
Hold it. Let’s look at this. While local authorities are buckling down to flatten the curve the nation’s top dog has latched onto a thought picked up on Fox News, “We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself.”
I was present in my living room when those exact words dropped from his lips. One problem. The one number that none of us know is the official count of how many men and women in America wouldn’t be here today if we hadn’t stepped inside for a couple of weeks?
I grasp where the President’s coming from. The Stock Market isn’t recovering and lawmakers barely agreed to the two billion dollar recovery package. That bright beautiful spot in American financial history is headed straight for the days of some of the darkest times not only on our soil but globally. Which brings me to a question I brought up to scientist Bill Sullivan, “Will we see a change in the Super Powers?”
Kind of an odd subject right? Now more than ever you’re services as a voice in America is being called into action. We pretty much know only six percent of the people avote during the elections but one look at every social media platform and the human heart and drive is caught up and botched by a fear of allowing your inner voice to be heard.
I talked with M. That’s all we need to know about her name. M isn’t a happy girl because she feels the only people via social media doing any talking are the trolls. The real voices and energy behind them are trapped in their homes right now binge watching Schitts Creek.
Podcasting is the truest form of connection without having to be boarded up and stifled by a connection with a corporation and or government Coronavirus crackdown. They want you off the streets not off the air.
RollingStone Magazine was quick to push forward a story about the President’s announcement of wanting to put business back to work. Their headline? Trump, in Tweet Says He’s Considering Plan That Would Kill A Lot Of People.
The magazine believes as many as 9.4 million people would simultaneously be infected at the time of the peak. Which means there’s no way hospitals can accommodate that presentation. RollingStone printed these words: Hundreds of thousands would die without access to treatment.
How you feeling about hosting that podcast now? I mean if there are 900,000 of them already pushing thoughts, emotions, jokes, cooking and beer making, what about one more that comes from the physical streets of it’s about to get really bad?
But is it? I sat down with Ralph from the Heavy Metal Band Ravenscroft who had no time calling out the media, “This is hype. It’s sensationalism.”
Wait! That’s what the President said the other day about NBC’s Peter Alexander? Talk about a public hanging! Never once in that reshuffling of exchange of thoughts did I feel the television reporter was putting his companies ratings hunt in front of the American people.
Let’s go ground level here. I’m not saying get a podcast and let the planet it take a verbal beating. The door is standing wide open for your voice to have a place. Yeah it’s tough right now and it’s probably going to break your foundation of success into pieces. You need to be heard. To empower different groups or individuals. To use your experiences during this Covid-19 stoppage as a tool. In the words of Madonna the virus has equalized us all.
Business leaders teaching each other how to rebuild. Regular everyday people who might have found prayer or meditation during the down time hearing from those who’ve been doing it for decades. Mothers and Fathers with children trying to keep focused on homeschooling. Truck drivers pushing their rigs across the nation with nobody else in the cab.
No need to verbally take pot shots at the Speaker of the House, the President and his side kick or anyone else serving their community in office. That part of the playing field already has enough armchair quarterbacks.
Use this downtime as a platform you to talk about being part of a Garage Band, what it’s like to sell pre-owned cars in a down economy, a reaction to the message each week at church or how to be a better Uber or Lyft driver.
Think longevity. Don’t dump your entire process into one episode.
So what’s the moral of the story? Go for it! Yep. Just do it! Make it til you break it. Don’t worry about reinventing the wheel. Find a few hours of focus and stand taller than what you were yesterday. Yep it’s a pain in the ass to keep up but man the payoff has a way of keeping you out there longer the last complaining session you had with a coworkers or neighbor. We’ve all hit some rough water lately and how you’ve turned it into a swimming adventure is an incredible display of making your voice be heard.
I’d love to hear a podcast where RollingStone Magazine readers actually talk about their reaction to the stories published. For years I’ve sat on the sofa or at a desk and pretty much agreed or disagreed with the reporter all by myself. We can change this.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/24436155Fri, 27 Mar 2020 17:52:44 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 49 Not Open For Business Here we sit.

As the Coronavirus continues to increase its presence globally, a lot of speculation and self-designed predictions are making their way to social media. I spent today disconnecting from Jesus Freaks and Political fire starters vowing that the U.S. Government is going to slam us into a wall of Martial Law making this nation a new land ripe for a dictatorship.
Can we just stop? Social Media is feeding the veins of thought and emotion that’s causing a lot of listeners and readers to stop participating with the volunteer distancing.
Look… I don’t know what the right walk is. As podcasters we have the right and privilege to be whomever we bring forward. It doesn’t matter whose team you’re playing for just get the facts first. Then fact check yourself again and again.
Then ask yourself “Is this really where I want to be with my podcast?” Back in the early episodes of Pod-Crashing I warned listeners that this would be an awkward year for hobbyists and professional podcasters because some of the decision makers and messengers would begin spread their message on their stage.
Joe Rogan just got sideswiped. I don’t know if he was bothered by it. The headline and story didn’t say. Because of Joe’s support for his rightful positions in life Representative Alexandra Cortez walked away from supporting Joe’s pick for the Oval Office Bernie Sanders.
I sat up straight when I read the article because over the past 8 years or even 41 years of Broadcasting have I personally endorsed a candidate or cause that would influence a decision maker to walk away from offering their gifts for a greater need?
I recently started a new podcast series called Play It Forward. It puts focus on every creative person affected and not infected by the Coronavirus. Two of the conversations I shared are hardcore in your face balls to the wall politically motivated by the influence of the guest. I showed up with a microphone to get the story not support the movement. They’ve yet to hit the platform.
Podcasting can be played safe or dangerous. What you personally put up there can disappear from your site easily but by the time you catch up to common sense your RSS has planted that message everywhere.
I totally grasp that we are exercising our freedom of speech. How many podcasters fully understand what that means and how it operates? What you say or share always has the potential of inciting an emotional connection or change. Are you really ready for the world to come after you?
In a recent interview with Kesha on Lets Be Real Podcast she flat out told the host how focused she needed to remain on what she was doing and saying.
Here’s the thing. The more we stay locked up in our homes and studios because of the Coronavirus, the more podcasters could become the new voice of an already changed world. Ultimately it’s up to you to make the right choice. Do you really want to be the voice or the journalist? There’s a huge difference!

So what’s the moral of the story? You hold a lot of power and don’t know it. You might be getting 20 to 30 hits for a little hobby as host but it only takes one conversation to turn it into hundreds of thousands.
There’s a reason why terrestrial radio has several layers of decision makers to keep the on air talent in line. As a podcaster you are the final decision and if you aren’t in the right mindset it could start the next fire.
This isn’t about getting numbers. This is about a weakening world affected by an uncontrollable virus and people will soon hit a level of believing anything they’re told. What are you putting out there? If you start a battle because of an uneducated opinion or challenge should you be held responsible for the state, national or global reaction? Almost like the person that dropped the hot match onto the extremely dry forest floor.

He’d begin every conversation saying, “Hey! This is how it really is!” Mike put so much refocus back into my career that I began watching every level of the Broadcast game. Hey! This is how it really is!
Conan O’Brien’s conversation with actor Paul Ruben. The creator of Pee Wee Herman is having a difficult time trying to understand the concept of a podcast. The typical question, “What’s the difference between this and radio?” Conan jumps in to explain only to realize that after a year or so of doing podcasting he still can’t figure out why it’s called a podcast.
I still remember how pouty I was about the name back in 2012. I hated the term podcast. Especially since the age of iPod listening was quickly disappearing. I had just gone through the death of AM stereo and HD Radio. So much energy put into trying to reinvent the wheel only to watch it fizzle like a firecracker on a rain soaked July 4th holiday.
My good friend Nathan Richie was the first to step up and say “If you don’t like calling it a podcast then stop doing it. Start educating your listeners. It’s Listening on Demand.”
Too difficult to say. It needs a dictionary definition to go with it. Besides, when I get a phone call from a promoter about doing conversations with Gordon Lightfoot and Dennis DeYoung telling them I host fourteen Listen on Demands… they literally stop. Then ask, “A what? Do you mean a podcast?”
Hey! This is how it really is! Radio’s Rodeo Clowns can’t come walking up the dusty path and change the barrel racing rules.
When I meet up with new people and tell them I host podcasts it’s pretty much the same act over and over, “Oh! I’ve listened to a podcast once or twice. Was never impressed.” Or the virgin podcast listener’s answer is “I can’t find the time to check into a two hour rant from Joe Rogan. Is Marc Maron really that pissed off at the world?”
I’ve heard all the questions! It’s like being a podcaster turns everything into the six degrees of separation. So many listeners think we’re all in touch with each other. You know hang on the weekend. Free food at Denny’s at 3am. Then it’s back to creating new episodes on Monday.
Hey! This is how it really is! I keep in touch with a lot of podcasters. Everybody needs to be swapping notes and experiences. It’s only going to raise the bar on quality. I’m not saying we should suddenly jump into a pair of Program Director shoes. Oh hell no! The art of being a great podcaster is doing it your way.
I love checking in with new-be’s like Pete Kaliner who’s extremely fresh from the large tower but on fire with podcasting because its keeping his fans and followers locked in on the energy he generated while with a Talk station forced to clean house.
It’s not that I’m babysitting or trying to pull off a Stock Market takeover. We need to create a stronger brother and sisterhood during these extremely early steps of digital vocal dancing. How Pete lays out his political conversations fed by a need to keep it local shouldn’t sound like my conversations with Elizabeth Chelan who’s got new research on how the military is struggling with recruiting volunteers.
Texture is everything. This is how it really is!
Part of growing with your podcast is knowing what to podcast. That’s an extremely tough mountain to climb for many. I mean, here it is! Your own podcast! Got the Zoom L-8, a fancy microphone, sound proofing, great set of cans and and and… so what do you wanna talk about? Just hit record and we can wing it right?
Collaborations are a cool thing but know your game. A couple of great friends want to chum it up on a podcast. I’m always ready for any performance. But I’m a show prep junky. I never drop tracks unless I go into the episode fully prepared. Hey! This is how it really is!
My conversation with Gordon Lightfoot yesterday needed to be an all-out conversation. To get Gordon into that emotional circle of storytelling I didn’t need to sound like I was pulling questions from thin air. Great talk begins with trust. Those receiving your questions will lower their guard when you build your relationship around the thought of a couple of people that happened to cross paths at Starbucks.
Did I invent that? Oh hell no! I study the masters Stern, Rogan, Maron, Ronan Farrow, Bill Burr and the calmest of the smooth talkers Bob Pittman from Math and Magic and iHeart Media.
Hey! This is how it really is! In this age of free form thinking and speaking the squeaky wheel isn’t always going to be the bird that gets the first worm. Part of growing your podcast is know what to podcast. Knowing arrives from experiencing. Not stealing ideas but using your own skills to bring forward a sound inspired or influenced by. Conan O’Brien does a brilliant job with long form famous people talk. What kind of nightmare did he go through developing that style? He’s a television guy who was barely given six to eight minutes with his guys. Now he’s getting over and hour with Pee Wee Herman?
I’d love to see how Stern would handle a conversation after the producer on the other side says, “You’re out time is 10:09.” And the clock in front of you says its 10:06. I’ve only turned down one interview during a moment like that. I honestly said, “I love and respect this actor so much that being with him for only three minutes shows a disrespect for his presence as an artist. The universe will unite us again a different day.”
I’ve done my fair share of itty bitty teeny weanie talks and had to rely on my producing skills to create an episode that wouldn’t make the listener feel like I just wasted their time. I’m not Entertainment Tonight where they billboard that coming up next so and so and he and she and when the story lands it was only 30 seconds in length.
Hey! This is how it really is!
Alright it’s time for me to reach out to Dennis DeYoung. He’s teamed up with Julian Lennon and Jim Peterik both of whom are huge conversationalists with a solid value at bringing forward the story and experience. Two days of prep has gone into this project. My friend Allan asked if I’d go anywhere near the history of Styx. No… No need. There’s a lot more to talk about than living in the past.
So what’s the moral of the story? There’s no greater feeling then watching your analytics grow. When advertisers start researching your episodes the process gets even more exciting. Building an episode is like creating a craft beer. If you ain’t making what the bar can sell… that stack of BBQ’ed ribs are gonna sit on that grill all night. I learned that from a club owner in the 1990’s. He told me to stop playing love songs. It doesn’t sell whiskey. Tired sweaty dancers buy it up.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/23796803Fri, 13 Mar 2020 09:00:13 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 47: I once had a program director that constantly reminded us to deal with Radio Reality.

Not for entertainment but for content and connection. A valuable resource to help lift company websites and email blasts. To use the podcast as the tool but done so in a way that doesn’t push people away. That means hiring a professional. Someone with experience. Who doesn’t just talk about it but lives it.
That’s exactly what my vision was in 2012 at the start of this podcast adventure. I had been a production and image director since the early 90’s and literally jolted with excitement when Chevy announced that their new cars would feature Wi-Fi capability.
Having that power would give listeners even more choices. Why would I fork out money for satellite radio or wait for terrestrial radio to play my favorite song when Listening on the Demand was about to be introduced?
The problem for me wasn’t going to be locating podcasts to bring into my car but rather trying to generate the space to host an outlet for clients, sales and service. Yep. I went with the people linked to the green.
I mean come on! Here was this new platform that gave companies more than a 30 or 60 second commercial! They could take more time to physically talk about their product without sounding like they’re selling something.
I couldn’t get one radio sale person to budge. I mean they’d sit and listen to my passion to get to this next path. But I couldn’t latch onto a support group. I was a sick puppy.
This was a new way to say, “We are one of you.” Without pushing that you’re family owned and operated, been business 89 years, buy now and get two free and hey trust us!
I didn’t want that. Cuz I know podcast listeners are smart. They can sniff out a fake conversation the second it starts. Their next move is to hit the next exit.
I needed to do some research. I started with talking to any artist willing to leap onto what pretty much looked like a hobby. I knew they had a product to sell. Music, books, movies. I got it. Sell your product here without sounding like it. Oh I know! I’ll get a bunch of famous people interviews then invite advertisers to bring their message on board. Two birds! One stone!
My interviews weren’t about the history of the guest. Anyone can Google that. I needed to show interest in where they presently stood. I believe that’s where advertisers make their connection. They know the product. Listeners will purchase it based on how confident the conversation is without saying buy buy buy.
This is the very reason why I created the podcast On The Corner Of Walk And Don’t Walk. I was talking with everyone. A man on a mission. I needed to learn how to develop at atmosphere where any demographic could be tap into.
This podcast features episodes with doctors from The Mayo Clinic, Home Depot, auto factories such as Ford and Chevy, Bumble, Etsy and more.
Eight years into this formatic foundation clients now hire me to help them not only build their podcast platform but to execute it by way of social media. Making videos isn’t enough. Which makes me laugh because making a podcast isn’t enough. Developing a relationship with advertisers and companies isn’t about buying on a mentioned episode. I bring podcasts to life by putting the listener in the front seat with the client. And then it happens. A conversation is born. In a digital way. But it’s there!
Companies hosting their own podcasts is an experience their present and future clients can participate with. Inviting experts to the microphone. Bring real people who’ve purchased the product to the studio. Talk with those who haven’t tried the product out. The playing field is wide open.
A connected business will become seven to fourteen minute episodes released twice a week or more. A brilliant way to reach a listening audience that probably had no clue your company existed.
Don’t treat your business podcast like a daytime talk show. One subject at a time shared in a story format. Always forward motion. No fancy show open. No special effects. One on one conversations created to keep the attention of him or her tuning in. By not taking advantage of their time, it’s pretty much an automatic that they’ll listen to another episode.
Post production and delivery are huge stars here. Quality starts step one. In production everything planned, performed and produce comes together as a single story.
If you treat your business podcast like a podcast not only will you get burned out but so will listeners. If there are seven different ways to say a single sentence, the same is true about each individual product. Keep your podcast fresh and always shoot for long term projects. Reaching a top notch conversation doesn’t require an interview process. Set the pace and invite the experience.
So what’s the moral of the story? Most people are convinced the money in podcasting is in the sponsorships. It's how you take your podcasting skills to a company to help them build their fan base. As company podcasts continue to grow so will the need to add another body to the employee roster.
Look at the web. Study the videos. Businesses come with a lot of information that means nothing to millions of consumers. With proper discipline and delivery your podcast episodes will put you out there without sounding like you’re begging for a pot of gold.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/23561281Fri, 06 Mar 2020 15:51:50 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 46 The Forecast In a letter to a business requesting information about my podcast, I forecast that by 2022 big companies would have their own podcasting departments.

A...In a letter to a business requesting information about my podcast, I forecast that by 2022 big companies would have their own podcasting departments. Not for entertainment but for content and connection. A valuable resource to help lift company websites and email blasts. To use the podcast as the tool but done so in a way that doesn’t push people away. That means hiring a professional. Someone with experience. Who doesn’t just talk about it but lives it.
That’s exactly what my vision was in 2012 at the start of this podcast adventure. I had been a production and image director since the early 90’s and literally jolted with excitement when Chevy announced that their new cars would feature Wi-Fi capability.
Having that power would give listeners even more choices. Why would I fork out money for satellite radio or wait for terrestrial radio to play my favorite song when Listening on the Demand was about to be introduced?
The problem for me wasn’t going to be locating podcasts to bring into my car but rather trying to generate the space to host an outlet for clients, sales and service. Yep. I went with the people linked to the green.
I mean come on! Here was this new platform that gave companies more than a 30 or 60 second commercial! They could take more time to physically talk about their product without sounding like they’re selling something.
I couldn’t get one radio sale person to budge. I mean they’d sit and listen to my passion to get to this next path. But I couldn’t latch onto a support group. I was a sick puppy.
This was a new way to say, “We are one of you.” Without pushing that you’re family owned and operated, been business 89 years, buy now and get two free and hey trust us!
I didn’t want that. Cuz I know podcast listeners are smart. They can sniff out a fake conversation the second it starts. Their next move is to hit the next exit.
I needed to do some research. I started with talking to any artist willing to leap onto what pretty much looked like a hobby. I knew they had a product to sell. Music, books, movies. I got it. Sell your product here without sounding like it. Oh I know! I’ll get a bunch of famous people interviews then invite advertisers to bring their message on board. Two birds! One stone!
My interviews weren’t about the history of the guest. Anyone can Google that. I needed to show interest in where they presently stood. I believe that’s where advertisers make their connection. They know the product. Listeners will purchase it based on how confident the conversation is without saying buy buy buy.
This is the very reason why I created the podcast On The Corner Of Walk And Don’t Walk. I was talking with everyone. A man on a mission. I needed to learn how to develop at atmosphere where any demographic could be tap into.
This podcast features episodes with doctors from The Mayo Clinic, Home Depot, auto factories such as Ford and Chevy, Bumble, Etsy and more.
Eight years into this formatic foundation clients now hire me to help them not only build their podcast platform but to execute it by way of social media. Making videos isn’t enough. Which makes me laugh because making a podcast isn’t enough. Developing a relationship with advertisers and companies isn’t about buying on a mentioned episode.

NPR mastered that magic trick decades before well edited blogs evolved into a vocal approach. Look at what CBS was doing with Charles Kuralt. Even Stern got into the action with his birthday bash and on the spot reporting that usually featured a huge guest list.
We can’t leave out terrestrial radio who’s always tried to play street games of the everyday world at sporting events, news conferences, live on location remotes to promote a business and I’ll never forget taking a microphone to backyard parties, weekend blowouts and other gatherings just to get real sounds for promos, sweepers and other local features that made us come across as connected.
When I first got into podcasting in 2012 the idea of leaping outside the warmth and comfort of the studio is a distant thought. I wanted to have complete control. Giant buses and trash trucks crashing against metal didn’t need to be part of the one on one conversations being planted on the digital platform.
Then May 11, 2014 I took note of a large group of people gathering outside the historic Park Terrace Movie Theater. There wasn’t anything new out. Had there been a crime? It turns out the theater was celebrating its 50th anniversary. Part of the celebrating was digging up a time capsule. (((sound bite)))
Nobody knew what was inside. I instantly went live on Spreaker which was hooked up to the iHeart Radio podcast Unplugged and Totally Uncut. (((sound bite)))
I did seven live breaks from Park Terrace. All of which drew a very large global listening audience. The experience opened the door for me to take the system to the infield of Charlotte Motor Speedway. (((sound bite)))
I honestly didn’t know what I was doing except screwing around with a new tool from the shed. I’m a bare to the bone roots driven hardcore terrestrial radio guy that wanted to feel that energy created by being live. Once again the numbers proved to be in the winning circle.
One problem. Podcasting wasn’t going to serve me or clients in the way radio and television had already seized with a call to action. That’s when advertisers can tell you how you can save money right now. But wait! There’s more! Radio sales people sat down with me and asked client questions. How will a Charlotte business serve a Denver Colorado listening audience? By the time listeners truly caught up with the Charlotte Motor Speedway podcast the winner had been crowned two weeks ago.
I wasn’t going to quit the live concept. There was something in my approach. It didn’t sound like I was sitting in cold lonely production room. So I took the conversations to the patio at Panera Bread. I invited guest hosts where we collaborated in gaining valuable content from people like Dennis Quaid (((sound bite))) Hec even Mike Nesmith of the Monkeys (((sound bite)))
I also created an Actors Studio style episode process where future Broadcasters and I recorded a huge amount of artists on the move. Nobody seemed bothered by it until a producer on their side said it caught them off guard that I was not inside a sound proof arena of fun. Then I did one during an unexpected invasion of children ran into my podcast area and that’s all we heard. Until you got into post production and the person being interviewed sounded perfectly fine. Only because I left right my channels. I’m on the right. They’re on the left. When it doesn’t sound right I re-record the question.
Now that I’ve added the Zoom L-8 to my fun little things to play with, it increases my reasons for wanting to be even further away from the studio. So much so I quickly reached out to tour promoters and managers about doing podcasts from the green room or just off the stage. It took no time for them to bite into the picture. Fans and followers want to be taken somewhere. As podcasters we can move in any direction and be prepared for the worst.
Like Gilbert Godfrey totally disappearing off the microphone. (((sound bite)))
Even Marc Maron has bad days and when those situations unfold you’ve gotta keep the show locked on forward motion.
So what’s the moral of the story? Podcasting is about being present. No matter where you’re standing or drawing mental pictures take the extra step and see if you can leave those you’ve invited as guests in their own environment. Guests coming to my studio turns them into worry warts. In the most recent Podcast Magazine publication Katy Couric touches on that subject. If doing interviews on camera people are horrified of how they may look but with podcasting those involved are totally unseen. Which invites people to drop their guard and get into the moment. It gets even better when you take the equipment to their safe zone. Best conversations every time.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/23398283Tue, 03 Mar 2020 09:00:18 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 45: On The Road Taking your podcast out on the road truly is far from being an original concept.

Throughout my forty one years of terrestrial radio, knowing who your radio listener is has always been a huge part of the connection puzzle.
I always saw it as a game of Let’s Pretend. We are reaching our targeted audience of let’s say 25 to 45 year old women. Research shows this is who and how you should be directing every talk break. Do all you can not to step away from this person.
I still remember how we handled it at my last radio station. They actually created a book and a name for this invisible person. Everything was listed. Her favorite car, book, movie, soft drink and magazine. The only thing they didn’t cover was her sex life. Which I always thought was odd because most morning radio shows were open to the subject.
I’ve been doing this podcasting thing for eight years. I’ve never put any thought into who I’m trying to reach. I have disciplined myself to be organic. To be present and have a purpose. I know there’s someone on the other side of the speaker but to physically lay out a targeted audience puts the episodes in a shadowed area of being too niche and not open to every age and generation.
I was with Jamie Mustard the other day. He’s a branding genius. His first words were “Your podcast is everywhere. You’ll talk about any subject and anyone with an idea. You don’t focus on just one thing. That’s why I like listening to your episodes. I’m not going to get the same story.”
I look at every episode with an open view. On any given day a 16 year old boy or girl in 2020 just discovered Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones.
To put an age limit on who I’m directing my talk toward totally shuts out anyone willing to step in for 30 seconds or seven minutes.
That’s right. I said willing. I feel blessed that anyone would take the time to show up. I was shocked when a Facebook post passed one of my episodes forward. He said, “Arroe is sage with the lessons he teaches.” Sage? Oh God I pissed someone off. I had to Google it then go back and listen to the Episode from the Podcast called Poetic Elevation The Choice.
I don’t put these episodes on a global front. It’s about God, religion, Spirituality and motivation. Not everybody supports any of these platforms. So I allow the strength of the message to make its own waves.
The targeted audience is anyone seeking a moment of holy shit he’s talking about me. All of this changed a couple of years ago when a long list of creative people in music, movies books and culinary found reason to take their lives. I was deeply injured. Here is this platform and I’m doing nothing to help the creative hiders on the planet. Those who have the gift to be creative but not the personal umph to push their art onto the streets of everyday.
I had to be a different kind of broadcaster. Open my daily writing journals and start speaking the truth about what it’s like to endlessly lay awake at night with ideas and then bringing them to life during the day light only to fall flat on getting support. A creative life isn’t a choice. It’s a monster. I call it an addiction. So I created a podcast that addresses that issue and iHeart Radio leaped all over it.
When it comes to the journals I have one rule: have the guts to enter any conversation not as a Christian but rather a Creative.
I’ve lost a huge chunk of my religious followers. It was time to develop a different connection and I had to be faith filled not faithful to do it. The Spreaker platform is pretty healthy when it comes to providing analytics. What I hate are the moments I hit demographics and it just doesn’t agree with what I’m trying to accomplish.
Men 25 to 44. Where are the women listeners? Forty one years of adult contemporary radio training and the podcast is drawing them in. A good friend. A female told me that it’s because I’m not talking about motherhood, sex, wine and other alcohol and even more sex.
And I won’t. I’m not Dr Ruth. But I love how she located a path to connect with both men and women. She doesn’t fear being real. Sometimes I feel that way when reading from the journals. I do have those days though when being authentic is the toughest part of the journey. I stop. Re-read the journal entry and then give it to a higher energy.
We all face daily fears, hatred, guilt and yes even greed. My goals of building a following aren’t to fix anyone. Just relate. To be present.
Podcasting is still extremely early in its march forward. To say that you’re looking for a particular audience truly cuts your attempt at reaching out to a hit or miss. It reminds me of the conversation I had with Laurens Grant. She’s the creator of the documentary Black in Space. It’s about the first African American astronauts.
She could’ve easily said I only want to focus on a certain demographic. She chose to make it wide open for all to learn something then turn it into a teaching tool for tomorrow’s space travelers.
Three weeks ago I got hooked in to listening to the podcast Slow Burn. I’m a Marc Maron and Joe Rogan follower. To participate with the history of Watergate. Ronan Farrow got me seriously hooked on documentary style storytelling. Journalism has hit a new high and its paying off. I have a feeling though they weren’t sitting around a large table thinking, “Who is this for? Can we land high numbers in the male 50 to 65 year bracket? He has to have long dark hair, drive a Ford pickup, loves his dog, nature and must be able to learn from so much lost information.
So what’s the moral of the story? Stop wasting precious time trying to figure out who your targeted audience is. In a few moments I’m gonna be talking with Daryl Hall from Hall and Oates. He has a story. My goal is to share it with every demographic including the 9 year olds in the back of the car listening to a podcast their parents happened to log into.
Here’s why I do what I do. Russ from the early 70’s Rock band The Association said these very words, “I had to write this book. Everything that’s ever been written about me has been wrong!”]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/23143745Tue, 25 Feb 2020 08:00:20 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 44 Who Is Your Audience Throughout my forty one years of terrestrial radio, knowing who your radio listener is has always been a huge part of the connection puzzle.

Today while sharing a conversation with published author Allison Ashley we spent a little time discussing the digital process. With the enormous amount of success murder and suspense podcasts have been experiencing, how far are we from everlasting love stories from becoming podcast seasons and episodes?
It doesn’t seem like anything knew right? Books on Tape was huge four decades ago whereas today Audible has picked up the reins. Kindle Unlimited has their connection and off to the side are the little guys like Chirpbooks.com who promise audio books up to 95% off.
Ronan Farrow has lifted the level of the experience. Rather than dropping words and paragraphs onto the vocal tracks, his podcast The Catch And Kill totally breathes new life into the soul of published books. Ronan shares the story. He’s not reading it. He’s developed a solid relationship with his followers in the way of saying, “This is not only how I lived it but why, when and where.”
Can that same approach be used with a love story? The narrator actually being a fly on the wall. The author discussing their story rather than reading it by way of well edited structure. Bill Burr is very good at taking his podcast into an area of, “Hey how are ya! Welcome to my house. Want a beer? Damn I’ve got a lot on my mind. Pull up a chair and let’s swap some talk.”
Radio Hall of Famer John Hancock once said to me, “Formatics and structure are there if you need it. Connections begin with trusting your research and show prep then do nothing more than talk about it. Don’t force it. Don’t try to impersonate someone you like listening to. Just talk about it. You and that person on the other side. You don’t need to know their name. Maybe one day. Right now you’re just trying to have a conversation.”
While in a moment with Allison Ashley the edge of my universe was interrupted by a fear for love story authors’ gone podcast. Can you sell a book if what you’re pouring the energy of the storytelling into a pair of earbuds?
Part of what drew me closer to podcasting was having the free spirit to promote promote promote. In late 2012 I announced to my blogging community that I was leaving to write a book. I invited them to tag along by way of this thing I just learned about. They call it podcasting. I’m not sure. Yet I feel a huge pull to begin from a seed and let something I can’t see grow.
As the chapters were coming together I used the digital talk box to not only share the uphill struggles, out of control inner visions but to take my sentences and set them on this new platform all in the name of seeing if a strong love story can actually be the subject of conversation without it sounding like its being read?
Not an easy task. Mainly because of the radio background I was carrying. Radio people and Podcasters are two completely different performances and expressions. The book is titled Scrambled Eggs. Because I’m all about branding. Everything had to somehow feature the title. So I dubbed the podcast Scrambled Egg Shells. It lasted thirteen episodes and or thirteen of the fifty three chapters on the View from the Writing Instrument platform.
I returned to it today. The first time I’ve heard it in seven years. As a radio person we were painstakingly trained to turn a liner card into a conversational subject. Liner cards versus chapters paints the perfect picture of me standing next to Godzilla and he’s in the mood to battle.
I do believe love stories can be talked about rather than read. I strongly feel the next level of podcast play should be where readers want to take their imaginations. Not by hearing their own voice reading the story but to experience by showing up as a listener. Less work when that’s all you have to do.
Back to the fear I had for Allison Ashley. While in the midst of creativity sharing my heart spoke out, “Get off the subject.” Ok here’s the reason why. Podcasting is listening on demand. How much money are listeners putting in the jukebox to hear your art? Yeah I know, let’s get sponsors! I mean Jack Brennan has them with Disgraceland. So can we! Not an easy of a task.
Putting the book out there on a podcast at no cost is a hardcore first step toward bringing an injury to the inner core of why the book even exists.
I know why I stopped recording. I wasn’t convinced that I was selling books. Wait! Wait! We’ve gotta break it down. The thirteenth episode was posted on April 28, 2014. The digital world wasn’t anywhere near what we’re experiencing today. I remember sitting in the production room with my face in my hands. I was screwing up the process of connection. In looking back the author who had spent two years writing the book wasn’t liking the idea of sharing it as a podcast. How dare the radio person try and dominate this project!
Through inflection readers turned listeners could hear my interpretation of Scrambled Eggs. They didn’t see the pictures hung on the walls of their imagination through their eyes meeting the page. Until I came across Ronan Farrow the idea of gripping onto a listener’s heart and lightly tugging on it was something Casey Kasum had mastered on American Top 40. It never felt like he was following a script. He was sharing a story.
Evolution is a cool thing. Moving through the emotional mountains podcasters make then detonate requires honesty, persistence, perseverance, loyalty and more importantly patience bathed in forgiveness. The writer in me had to figure it out. To make nice with the radio guy. To have playdates while taking long walks through late night battles with ideas and failures.
Here’s the fun part about all of this. If you want to podcast do it. You don’t have to be as passionate. That’s my sickness. But somewhere along the journey. Right before you say I quit. The chewed up seed in your stomach is gonna pop out a tiny little green leaf. Suddenly it’s no longer about reading but sharing a story. Test the waters endlessly. Build and rebuild constantly. Gift yourself with a mental bikini wax then rip out the stuff you don’t need.
What’s the moral of the story? Not everybody is blessed to have writers, producers, promoters and managers pushing your name and branding through the eye of a needle. Joe Rogan announced last week that there are 900,000 different podcasts out here to choose from. It’s not slowing down.
Yes love stories will make it to podcasting. Guys will secretly listen to them. When any story is shared right. There’s always going to be an attraction. Live in the moment. While there do all you can to share some love with the podcasters that show up to bring you an incredible place to escape.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/22743569Fri, 14 Feb 2020 10:40:04 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 43 Love Stories Today while sharing a conversation with published author Allison Ashley we spent a little time discussing the digital process.

As the chapters were coming together I used the digital talk box to not only share the uphill struggles, out of control inner visions but to take my sentences and set them on this new platform all in the name of seeing if a strong love story can actually be the subject of conversation without it sounding like its being read?
Not an easy task. Mainly because of the radio background I was carrying. Radio people and Podcasters are two completely different performances and expressions. The book is titled Scrambled Eggs. Because I’m all about branding. Everything had to somehow feature the title. So I dubbed the podcast Scrambled Egg Shells. It lasted thirteen episodes and or thirteen of the fifty three chapters on the View from the Writing Instrument platform.
I returned to it today. The first time I’ve heard it in seven years. As a radio person we were painstakingly trained to turn a liner card into a conversational subject. Liner cards versus chapters paints the perfect picture of me standing next to Godzilla and he’s in the mood to battle.
I do believe love stories can be talked about rather than read. I strongly feel the next level of podcast play should be where readers want to take their imaginations. Not by hearing their own voice reading the story but to experience by showing up as a listener. Less work when that’s all you have to do.

This could be a touchy subject but I think it needs to be talked about. Since mid-summer 2019 I’ve noticed a very interesting trend. The growing number of promoters and producers tossing their energy into the podcast hat. I call them “Listener Locaters” and “Guitar Center Home Studios Are Us”
I’m endlessly flooded with emails and phone calls, “Hey man I can bring bigger days to your growing needs.” My response is always the same, “That’s so cool! Find me a sales person that’s interested in making new money.”
First… I get it! With the most recent increase of podcast listening business owners and everyday talkers are finding the digital sport to be entertaining as well as affective. We’re all doing the same thing. Reaching for the centerfield fence and all we’re getting is a fly ball over second base.
The really good news? Somebody’s always willing to help out. I also love that recording studios are popping up all over the nation guaranteeing high quality. Who wouldn’t want to tap into this fast moving beast?
The other night it hit me. Do any of these experts host their own podcasts? Do they post two or three episodes a week? Are they biting at the bit to maybe get 1/10th the numbers Joe Rogan’s pulling in?
The podcasting experience is more than being a communications specialist or setting up a couple of mics and hitting play and record. There’s a lifestyle to this. Being in the trenches is priceless. There’s a lot to be said about making absolutely no money and you’re still busting serious ass to make a listener connection.
Once again, I’m not saying Listener Locaters and Guitar Center Home Studios Are Us are wrong. What I see on their Linkdin posts and company emails is the total cost to make your podcast a reality. You can do it! For this amount of money! Join our team of professionals and put your brand out there in the shape of a podcast!
Guess this is where my heart gets bent out of shape. You want how much money for how much studio time? And how long will it take to start making my own money? I mean like right away right? This my take. Up to this moment. Golf and horse racing have been the world’s most expensive hobbies. We’ve gotta tuck podcasting into this picture.
I’m not saying your company podcast isn’t going to inspire new consumers to test and purchase your product. I’m totally into the idea of generating a conversation with podcast followers. Sharing products that bring comfort and security to their life. Helping them become knowledgeable about cars, computers, homes, medical issues and whatever else the business is willing to bring forward.
My initial question. How many Listener Locaters and Guitar Center Home Studios Are Us are hosting their own podcasts? Why would that be important? Simple. During these opening rounds of everybody can do a podcast it takes only seconds to get a bad taste in your mouth. The very second you get hooked up with someone that sounds pretty reliable but it flops like a fish. There’s a big chance those of us that are living this everyday won’t get your business.
It reminds me of a message I bring to future Broadcasters. Short and to the point. I’m glad you’ve got the ambition and drive to reach toward terrestrial radio. The requirement is years of hard work, dedication, sacrifice and in the beginning very little pay. Or you can create a podcast and instantly be the CEO of Me Incorporated.
I write to those who invite me to use their services. I’m very professional. One question, “Where can I listen to your latest podcast?”
In a really weird way this has to be how Marc Maron felt while I sat across from him in the studio. I was trying to convince him to help change the name of podcasting. He said, “Don’t mess up a good thing?”
He was right! I was just getting into podcasting. My only real experience was what I put down on paper. I hadn’t bled the blood. Sweat the tough times. Or looked at myself long enough in the mirror asking, “Seriously? Really? Come on! Take up professional bowling!”
In 2011 my good friend Nathan put me on the spot, “Why are you trying to get radio station advertisers to create a podcast? Dude! Just because you write and produce commercials doesn’t make you an expert in podcasting! You can’t lead people without knowing the ins and outs of what is or isn’t a good or bad podcast.”
Even after eight years of hardcore pushing and pulling the only thing I can truly offer you are simple questions that in the end could poison your wallet. But if we’re being truthful. Maybe that’s what you need. The first edition of Podcast Magazine is blessed with self-developed journeys that should’ve gone south but those involved didn’t give up.
What I got out their digital confessions is the same story I’ve picked up in my four decades of terrestrial radio. What you’re doing in the way of communicating isn’t in your hands. No matter how much it hurts or is pushed away it acts like hot sticky gum on the bottom of your shoe.
You should be able to look into the eyes of someone and know on the spot if they podcast. This is why I’ve chosen to invite so many podcasters to my podcast Unplugged and Totally Uncut. The behind the scenes stories are perfect tools for those wanting to podcast. Other listeners are getting a backstage pass into a world that’s just getting started on its long term design.
I received an email this morning from Age Of Radio.org. They clearly state, “We don’t believe that you should have to pay for podcast hosting and we don’t believe you have to have a minimum of 20,000 downloads per episode to be on a podcast network.” I sent them my RSS link. Got a quick reply with further instructions. Their choice for podcast delivery is Megaphone.
Videos instantly connect you to a ton of information about setting up the episodes then executing them. From the very beginning they introduce you to their CEO Jeremy Quintanilla who has built a strong team of supporters and relationship managers.
After signing up I still had questions. With so much attention placed on having Relationship Managers I wanted to test the water. Within three minutes a reply was received.
Let me also give a shout out to Anchor.fm as well. They’re also providing a free platform, plus they’re hosting specialized podcasts on how to bring yours forward. I’ve been with Anchor.fm for several months with no complaints.
Both platforms seem to get it. They know that in order for you to make a listener connection, they need to be connected to you. It makes you feel like you belong. You’re part of a new age of something that’s showing growth.
So what’s the moral of the story? If Listener Locators and Guitar Center Home Studios Are Us are going to help podcasters, producers, writers and planners please be in the same game. I can’t prove that church ministers practice what they preach. I just know that they usually say a bunch of stuff that’s taken directly from my street.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/22515429Fri, 07 Feb 2020 13:30:43 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 42 Knowing The Dirt This could be a touchy subject but I think it needs to be talked about.

Every singer songwriter I sit with, we end up getting locked in talk about how music never stops evolving. None of the artists seem to be bothered by it. It’s as if they expect change. This might be the reason why so many fans of music enjoy listening to a live album. The songs we love are there! It’s just performed a little bit differently.
The reason why I bring this up is because so many Podcasters have a difficult time moving through evolution. Great shows have totally disappeared off the map because the performers felt their episodes were moving in the wrong direction.
I get it. It’s an odd feeling that takes over. Bringing the podcast to life feels like a job more than a connection to content. Getting over that hurdle puts podcasters in a decision to “play out” a “timeout.” That in itself can easily turn into “drop out.”
The evolution of your podcast is completely natural. It’s one of the first things I cover when designing shows with businesses and solo performers. I get to know their vision. We discuss the highs and lows. The time required not only to show prep and layout the tracks but to market the episodes on social media.
Being that close to a project puts you in the center of podcast fatigue. The moment you try something new suddenly the censors are blaring like WWII air raid sirens. In the beginning you’ve got the confidence to participate with change but when the numbers aren’t instantly showing up? We revert to old habits. Which puts weight on every reason why you’re podcasting.
It’s decision time. Do you start an entirely different podcast or dump what feels like a bad taste. We’ve make it too easy to locate free time. Once you get that sweet surgery flavor in your creative system it becomes difficult to get back up on the horse. In the early moments of podcast building you were able to push your way through invisible walls and stumbles. Once you start getting the itch that something needs to evolve it’ll become that voice in the back of your head that won’t leave you alone.
The evolution of your podcast. There has to be change! Each episode is a new lesson learned. Through experience you’re able to strengthen your vocal delivery or tone it down. Through awareness a natural exchange begins to unfold. Don’t ever stop giving yourself permission to screw up.
My podcast Unplugged and Totally Uncut is always under the microscope. It’s nowhere near where it started. I wanted to be Casery Kasum or Dick Clark and share the journey of the singer songwriters and performers. I wanted to take it to massive level of this is what we did to get here. Then one day I asked myself, “Why are you doing what everybody else has already done?”
This is why I’d probably turn down a conversation with Paul McCartney. What’s he going to say that hasn’t already been lived? That oh wow moment. Does Mr. McCartney still have it in him? I keep practicing! Cuz the day the phone call chimes in he’s gonna know we aren’t talking about The Beatles, Wings or global tours.
While lecturing on campuses I invite students to participate with the famous people interviews. One rule. Don’t say anything about their past. All thoughts and conversation are based on what is in the now. I had to evolve to get there. Then believe in why it would be this way. A recent WTF moment was with legendary Rock drummer Deen Castronova talking about never becoming the front man of a band. He’ll sing lead vocals all day and night but he’s not going up there where the people are.
Unplugged and Totally Uncut went through a huge change about a year ago when I began posting a show called Unplugged Addiction to Creativity. I wanted to be real. Like most people we’re all getting tired of reading about which person of fame elected to take their life. The numbers are through the roof! I’ll never stop asking why while doing everything in my creative power to write and produce features that put focus on what it’s really like to be overtaken by the creative beast.
The evolution of your podcast can include extensions. I love what Jake Brennan is doing with his atmosphere. Disgraceland and Club 27 embrace the dark storytelling format of music’s unspoken history. Each of the podcasts feed the other. He uses the platform to cross pollinate other ventures he’s diving into at Double Elvis.
Lauren Bright Pachenco is the journalism force behind Murder In Oregon. A series of episodes digging deep into murder, government corruption and more. I asked her about life after this story is complete, would there be more unsolved Oregon murders? She paused. Then laughed. And said she couldn’t dive into the future at this time. My professional guess is yes. I can’t wait to see how she evolves her skills as a storyteller and investigator into a giant web of continuations.
Podcasting isn’t terrestrial radio. The one thing I took from the conversation between Bob Pittman of iHeart Media and Charlamagne Tha God is that it’s still an open platform for creative minds to explore. Because I’m so far out of the tower signal loop I reached out to Bo Thompson of WBT Charlotte. The kid has evolved into a master at designing and executing portraits of legendary Broadcast talent and more. It’s totally got his signature all over it. Is podcasting within the ranks of radio as free spirited as blogging was during its heyday?
In which direction will future podcast episodes grow now that Google has brought Audio SEO’s forward? The question Kraus Group Marketing is asking Podcasts and S.E.R.P’s or SERP’s the next big thing? Search Engine Result Pages.
SERPS are extremely important because it allows your fans and followers to get to know your website. If you’re truly into podcasting because it’s gonna make you money, this is a priceless part of your podcast evolution.
So what’s the moral of the story? Let your podcast presence go and grow. Let it have a life of its own! Somedays it may act like an out of control two year old child, a constantly demanding teenager or well-oiled seasoned middle aged expression of great content.
My podcast Poetic Elevation. In the beginning it had to be one path with no way off. I invited Southern Preachers to hang their messages and learned quickly how disconnected that thought was from how listeners want their podcasts. The evolution of the episodes began to put focus on Biblical studies but with my voice. They still wouldn’t have it. My friend Denny wrote to me, “Everything you’re saying has already be shared a trillion times. It’s nothing new. If you’re truly into this approach put lifestyle ahead of all things. You’re gonna have to get real.”
Play with your podcast. See if it bites you back. Pull on its history and see if it snaps. Bring an approach you thought you’d never try. Never stop taking chances.

Between 2012 and 2016 I approached the decision makers of Broadcasting Schools and Universities to open their hearts and imaginations to accepting the platform dubbed Podcasting. I was losing the battle on the terrestrial radio side of the performance. Sales people loved it but didn’t know how to sell it and programmers wanted nothing to do with something that looked more like a hobby than a profession.
Outside of my daily journals only one person knew of my true drive to bring this medium forward. Nathan Richie. We’d talk for hours about laying out the foundation of a tangible object that very few people wanted to participate with.
I thought the adult educational system would leap all over it. They listened but wouldn’t act upon the request. It was always based on money, “Our students come here for career opportunities and at this time it doesn’t seem to be a great place to change our plans to invest in something that honestly has no success story.”
One of the nation’s top radio consultants, we’ll call him the D man, he believed so much in my visions as a radio talent and producer that in 1985 he brought me down from Montana to Carolina. Somehow I lost my luster in 2012 when I spoke of this new age of On Demand listening. I tried so hard to convince him of its potential. Interviewing huge musical acts and actors during an annual event with students from across the nation.
He wouldn’t bite. Which Nathan Richie and I talked about all the time. Nathan was a visionary that leaped onto the internet approach to growing radio years before the industry hopped on. Every word he spoke was a foreign language and yet I was able to trust the impression he was putting on my path.
He knew I was a rule breaker and willing to look at top dog decision makers and call them out for being disconnected. They made sure I knew that they always knew best. They endlessly screamed at me about how radio listeners didn’t mind ten minute commercial stop sets and if you play Maroon 5 six times in a three hour break it’ll grab you more.
The building of my podcast presentation between 2012 and 2018 was heavily influenced by Nathan’s attachment to where listeners were growing. We listened to each other. We built on a project based on how a martial artist positions themselves in a process of always reaching toward the community. He was a Master in Tae Kwon Do. I am a 3rd Dan or 3rd degree black belt. Together we had the guts to face an industry that was about to take a huge hit because the world was quickly becoming addicted to getting what they want right now.
The night I learned of Nathan’s death was a passing of the torch. To this day I scan every memory bank in my soul seeking every bit of information he gave me about internet airplay. What he planted was a huge seed based on one thing: Don’t just do a podcast. Get your ass on the real streets of where people are and put them inside the performance.
I was finally allowed to talk about podcasting in broadcasting schools in mid-2016. The D man has never invited me back to his gatherings. I’m sure I posted something on social media that ended that connection but that’s what you do when you want to make a difference.
It kills me that iHeart Media didn’t invest in where I stood in 2012 and yet they brag about being the biggest and best in podcasting today. I won’t complain. Without any type of monetary exchange I’ve busted serious ass to have ten podcasts on their platform. I believed in Bob Pittman’s nationwide address to terrestrial radio people. He asked us to step up and participate. The Production Director who just lost his position on the air due to an all music format leaped at the opportunity.
There were no rules. No program directors and no D man. Even if it meant leaving the corporate world of radio I had to believe in Nathan Richie’s empowerment. I can still hear his voice, “You have a product. How are you going to find people? More importantly how are you going to keep what you’re creating alive? It’s too easy to quit.”
Yesterday I sat with 13 future Broadcasters in a control room introducing them to podcasting. Asking someone what they want to talk about is far worse than screaming out something the devil said inside a church. People know about it or have heard about it but haven’t a clue as to how they can participate with it.
If Eric Nuzum of NPR was told he was too late for the game in 2005 why they hell would someone want to jump into the sport in 2020? Because in 2005 there were no true pioneers to learn from. There truly wasn’t a history or learning tool.
I read books and magazines about it today calmly saying, “Bull. Won’t work.” Everybody seems to have the answer in an age where we need to be putting focus on the listener and tomorrows talkers. I get it! Broadcasting student’s don’t get it. I put them in the room and broke the junk down. Starting first with huge groups talking for 15 minutes. They hated it. Nobody really got any air time.
Then we shot it down to three then two then one. I get it that they don’t get it. But if you don’t lay out the map of possibility on their worldly connections then the schools are ripping students off. This is podcasting 101. It comes with a kick in the pants. Enjoy the ride!
Eric Nuzum said podcasting shouldn’t be controlled by anyone. It’s what you’re bringing to the moment. As much as I want to agree with him is how much I want to stop him in his tracks. There are a ton of horrid podcasts on the platform screaming for some love. The moment I praise an episode for its bad quality is the day I’m picking up a full time job at Circle K.
Look… I’m not good at podcasting. I just happen to be incorporating a few messages that Nathan Richie made sure I heard.
What’s the moral of the story? Without a doubt I feel sorry for terrestrial radio talent being told how to bring a podcast to life by the likes of people like the D man. Unless you podcast you can’t teach podcasting. No matter how much you trust research we aren’t playing by the same listener rules and expectations.
The most recent move by iHeart Media to dismiss a huge collection of their performers from the party will bring thousands to this next level of play. They won’t go to a university or broadcast school to learn how to properly podcast. They’ll use their radio knowledge to reach what could be, might be, should be, hmmm maybe not next level of play.
Podcaster’s of past generations aren’t interested in radio people playing the stage. I disagree with that. Probably because I grew up through the ranks of those two speakers. We need radio people to push this platform to the advertisers. They understand quality and performance. They’ve been trained to promote and push the door wide open.
Welcome them by teaching them. Unite because Nathan Richie would agree.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/21779934Sat, 18 Jan 2020 05:00:05 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 39: The Beginning Between 2012 and 2016 I approached the decision makers of Broadcasting Schools and Universities to open their hearts and imaginations to accepting the platform dubbed Podcasting.

Without any type of monetary exchange I’ve busted serious ass to have ten podcasts on their platform. I believed in Bob Pittman’s nationwide address to terrestrial radio people. He asked us to step up and participate. The Production Director who just lost his position on the air due to an all music format leaped at the opportunity.
There were no rules. No program directors and no D man. Even if it meant leaving the corporate world of radio I had to believe in Nathan Richie’s empowerment. I can...]]>377falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/pod-crashing-episode-38-guts--21548455
Students, business leaders and everyday people constantly ask, “What’s the best way to come up with podcast ideas? Is there a place to research what people wanna listen to? Can you show me where to begin?”

I don’t mind being approached. I learned in 2012 that it’s all about building a community. Eight years ago I was asking myself, “What kind of gathering? Are there leaders and rules to follow? Is there any subject I can’t touch?” I’ve driven myself totally insane searching for the Holy Grail.

I do admit that I get a little leery about asking someone about their podcast. The situation puts you smack dab in the center of a huge empty hole. Trying to get an answer to what seems to be a simple question is absolutely like pulling teeth.

The best way I can describe it is to compare the moment with asking someone what their favorite song is. The question lands and out pops a dull facial expression followed by a solid, “ummm.”

I get why it’s tough to decide. Podcasting’s been around since the 1980’s. Every idea in the book has been gone! Naw not really. Even if you’re number 300 with a podcast about bowling in the big leagues, you’ve still got the skills to lift the level of play by introducing something new.

Personally…Ideas for podcasts come at me fast and furious. Usually while I’m driving or sitting in the center of a Hollywood movie premiere. 98% of what I think would be a good idea gets nowhere near the recording studio.

To write, voice and produce a single episode this show Pod-crashing requires a huge gunny sack of guts without the glory.

For this show to make it to iHeart and Spotify I had to lay out some rules, guidelines, reasons and a solid purpose. I didn’t need a 16th podcast.

Rule Number one: With a show like Pod-Crashing I have to endlessly gain the courage to step out of the box and cover a subject that could earn me a middle finger rating. Podcaster's personalize their walk and way and along comes Arroe with different tips and suggestions. I’ve never said, “Do it my way.” It’s always been, “Here’s one way.”

Let’s break this down. First… Let me give you a little background. The whole idea of starting the show Pod-Crashing was to be a critic. Movies and television have them. The sports world has its share of armchair quarterbacks. Why not Podcasting? The day came to lay down the tracks and I chickened out.

The original idea was missing something. If I was going to invest an amazing amount of time listening to podcasts and the artists that make them don’t check in with a good performance, as communicators what could we do to help improve their quality?

Bash them then smile and shake their hand. Oh hell no. Terrestrial radio has already perfected that performance. I laid low with critiquing because at recording time I failed to have a continuation.

I’m not the only one thinking like this. I talked with Steve Olsher of Podcast Magazine. We both agreed there’s a need for some cleaning up but neither of us feel being critics would be a great fit. His philosophy is to help inspire and introduce the listening audience not the podcaster to a better prepared and produced episode.

He’s putting the people first. Not the advertisers. Those invisible ears that just happen to land on your podcast. The next goal is to get them back again and again.

Let’s be honest. Having the guts to do any podcast demands a commitment. Especially if you’re pulling off a comic book style series, comedy skits, political news and reviews, religion studies, sports or creatively piecing together a murder mystery. Whew! Crime shows are big in listen numbers but require an amazing amount of research and post production.

Podcast ideas… Let the source of energy move toward you. If the long term goal of bringing a show to life is to hit several years down the road, you’re gonna burn up in digital space wandering through ideas that have turned you into an angry perfectionist.

Go into your desire to start a podcast with a forgiving heart. Be extremely nice to the creative self. The personality of your podcast identity could be a little moody and touchy. Because developing your podcast voice and approach is something we all reach down the road.

My Podcast The Choice first started out being a bunch of preachers sharing their Sunday messages. Then I’d tuck in my little message in between. It was missing something. Relationship. Although I had permission to post the ministers the experience felt like the message carriers were talking to a huge room of people and not being one on one.

In 2019 a friend convinced me to change the way I share experiences on The Daily Ray Of Light. He said “Make it less about Bible thumping and more about lifestyle experiences.” So I quit storm chasing and picked up a new name The Daily Mess. We’ve all got some good times and bad and putting a little love and hope into those tough moments needs more of a friend then boom biff bam from the man at the pulpit.

So what’s the moral of the story? There’s no such thing as a bad idea. Unless your most recent idea was to back out of doing a podcast. Get off that highway! Go into the game fully prepared to reach outward and far. Invest in your personal requirements. If it’s to bang out episode after episode without editing and processing, I still say go for it! Bust open a can of yes I can and start bouncing the ball. In martial arts we played by one rule: Nobody can become a master at kicking, punching, falling or winning unless you’ve done it 10,000 times.

How many episodes does your podcast have right now? Get your ass to work.

Not to step on any toes but a lot of non-radio people have probably never heard of imaging. They just know they want something kind of fancy to electrify the podcast. You can hear it when you jump into an episode. Woot there it is! A huge 30 to 60 second show open with sweepers layered within the presentation.

Imaging can be a great tool or a reason to drop you like a fool. It’s branding for a listeners ears. It’s speaks out in ways that keeps the talent in the host chair.

Terrestrial Radio loves using it because the days of using a jingle package pulled too many dollars from their pockets. Imaging a radio station actually began in the mid-80s when huge voices like Mark Driscoll and Bryan James invested a ton of money into building home studios. They made a lot of money for barking out call letters with attitude.

Why? Because everybody in radio and television wants to look and sound cool. You can physically see the importance of it while watching pro football. FOX cannot be compared to CBS. It’s an automatic to think fancy sound effects and filtered voices lure the listener and viewers to your stage.

I’m not sure that’s true. For every second you keep people away from why they tuned in is every reason why they’re taking off.

Old School Radio utilizes the strength of imaging to beef up the stations showmanship. I can see why podcasters would want to do it. One problem. Sometimes all you truly need to be is impressed listeners showed up without having to be wined and dined with too much glitz and glamour. Don’t push them away with a bunch of loud noises in a world created to be a one on one relationship.

Podcasting is about content. If the description of the episode says you’re talking to Paul McCartney or you’re reviewing movies and books. Hit the stage running.

Marc Maron uses a little bit of imaging. No big voices or crazy listeners shouting out his name. It almost sounds like he’s recorded a few guitar riffs that simply state yeah this is me get over it.

Howard Stern who isn’t a podcaster has the world’s longest show open. No large voice just Rob Zombie at the same time every day. Over and over. Not a bash. It’s imaging. You hear that song and you know Stern’s show is just getting started. Look at Rush Limbaugh with the Pretenders song intro!

But wait. I’m talking about incredible talent brought up through the veins of terrestrial radio.

Does podcasting in 2020 need imaging? It does in your social media! Spend time perking up the attention of a potential listener. Once they land on the episode they are yours to lose.

When I first got into podcasting in 2012 I was all over imaging the episodes. I wanted to be The King Biscuit Flower Hour. Lots of wow! No conversation or interview was posted unless it was thoroughly over produced. Zip bam pow up front and music always under the talk. Then Jesse Venture’s son wrote me a note, "My dad was talking about a lot of great things. You destroyed his impact by using music in the background. Thanks a lot.”

Dropping the hardcore showmanship approached changed my life and my analytic numbers. The moment I stopped trying to wow listeners the episodes gained in strength. Also gone were the brief bios about those I was talking with. I did it in the early days because I wanted my image to be that of someone that knew something about the subject. Get to the hook of the song! Again, listeners came to your episode because of the headline or the description.

Many times in the past we’ve talked about how we live in a world where listeners endlessly hit the Next button. Guess what else they know? Fast forward! That’s their way of giving you a second and third chance.

I love me some Joe Rogan but man I don’t like the 18 billion commercials at the start. Dax Shepard and Conan O’Brien salt and peppers them through the episode. I feel like I’m cheating on Rogan when I hit fast forward. His advertisers need to be heard! His image is being that MMA calm compassionate talker but man as a listener I’m ready to take him on during those endorsement commercials.

I’m not saying don’t image your episodes. By way of face planting in a pile of digital numbers I’ve noticed how much change I’ve gone through by not making a lot of noise.

Mike the terrestrial radio program direction told me in 1994, “The ears on the other side of your speaker aren’t interested in anything but what benefits them.” I totally got what he was saying. The average podcast isn’t blaring out of the speaker. It’s coming to a listener usually at a cool volume. Their imaginations are locked onto the moment you’ve designed and then Dax Shepard stops the interview and uses a fake radio disc jockey voice to remind his listeners that he’ll be right back. It might be me but that’s a trigger. I can hear my shouting, “Hey go see what Chelsea Handler’s doing on her podcast!”

I imaged terrestrial radio across the country between 1991 to 2005. It’s was brilliant fun because as the producer I was designing stages. It was more than being Johnny and Jack in the morning. They also played 50 minute Rock Blocks for your workday. Giving away $10,000 a day. You get the picture. Now see if it truly fits your image.

There are a lot of production houses and voice over people that would love to help you put an imaging package together. It comes with a price tag. That’s when many podcasters do the imaging themselves or get a student fresh out of broadcasting school. They might be good but they probably aren’t great. Ask yourself if you really need it.

I sat down for thirty minutes today to talked with Rock n Roll Hall of Famer Joe Elliott from Def Leppard. Dancing up the front of the conversation with a montage would’ve killed the moment. iPod listening was more than slam dunking a billion tunes into a tiny box. It was a continuation of sound with no interruption. There weren’t any sweepers, promos or top of the hour ID’s. Nope… Just the music.

Treat your podcast the same way. Imaging can come across as an attack. This is who I am. I am because I can. This is my podcast. Today we’re talking with Mary Wilson of The Supremes! Then when the conversation starts Mary’s incredibly soft voice whispers out a gentle, “Hello.” All of that imaging power for Mary to be a buzz kill.

One of the biggest reasons why imaging shouldn’t be used is based solely on copyright laws. Those zips, pows and swooshes are protected just like music beds. The bigger your podcast gets puts you on a different level of visibility. Using a production library without a license will earn you a letter. Why bury yourself in a puddle of stress?

So what’s the moral of the story? Whip out the paint brushes and put something on that blizzard white canvas. What are you listeners doing before they check into your episodes? What do you see them doing? Who are they? How old are they? What’s their name? Where do you think they work? Do they tune into your podcast to escape or to get information? Picture who you are breaking bread with. When you imagination taps into that portrait hang it on the wall. Talk with that person. Build a relationship in the way you think they want to listen. Be aware of who they are by researching what you think is their lifestyle.

When I produced commercials for iHeart I always asked questions about the client. What color of car do they drive? Are they openly fun and free spirited? Do they tap their pen on the desk when you meet? As a producer I wanted to know who I was producing for then I’d start researching who we were reaching out to.

Get your transmission out of bang it out mode and put some love for your listeners into the fuel tank. Know what image you’re trying to shove out there or share. To image or not to image! It’s always your choice. Take it for a test drive and keep your decision on the road.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/21030704Wed, 25 Dec 2019 05:00:05 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 37 Imaging Not to step on any toes but a lot of non-radio people have probably never heard of imaging.

How much work is actually required to create a somewhat successful podcast? Just being honest. The work isn’t the biggest challenge. Showing up is. If I can get you to faithfully be on that microphone committed to making great content...the workload doesn’t sting quite as much.

Podcast burnout flairs up when you pull off the performance then set it aside to edit another day. After it’s completed you push it away again. You’re too tired to post it on social media. Right away you’ve turned this one episode into a three day project. No wonder I keep hearing about the rising number of performers and guests that have chosen to not start a podcast or have walked away.

The more new listeners discover how cool listening to a podcast is the more they expect binge listening quality entertainment. In the beginning banging out your performance might have been the initial ear collector but just like Netflix and Hulu if you’re episodes aren’t bringing the goods, you’ve made it extremely easy to hit Next.

The man that got me onto the digital platform relentlessly kept pushing me beyond the podcast burnout. He was fighting the same low depressing times caused by walls that weren’t blazingly fun or entertaining to the creative genius inside your head and heart. He always complained about the team of three never showing up on time. So those involved waited around hoping they stayed in the mood. Then when they finally did the episode it was his job to do post production. They were there for the nifty cool show’s performance but left him to wash the dishes. Over and over again. He eventually walked away.

I was recently with the brilliantly funny Will Vought. An out of control expression artist and comedian with mind blowing characters that cause an overdose of laughs. He does it all. Television, live stages, he writes for late night hosts and more. But he doesn’t host a podcast. Because he knows what the beast expects to stay alive. He was more than happy to make sure I knew how much fun he has being a guest on a podcast.

Jessica Kirson is another extremely busy funny person camper. She uses podcasting as a way to blow off steam. All those people constantly saying do this and do that. Once she’s on that podcast microphone oh baby she hits that dance floor knowing there are no rules only a damn good episode.

I keep the day fresh by staying away from doing the same thing. My guests aren’t always Rock Stars or Movie makers and actors. National Geo Wild’s got two new shows headed our way that deal with two different types of veterinarians. Book authors of every type. Political news men and women wanting to always planning the next episode.

Another podcast I do deals with creativity being an addiction. I honestly thought oh maybe ten shows and I’ll drop it. I just did my 330th episode! You've gotta quit treating your podcasts like two old people no longer having sex. Ever been to a modern day assisted living? Wow! There’s a lot of love going on!

So back to the original question. How much work is actually required to create a somewhat successful podcast? Not to throw gas on a fire. Before you put focus on the work. Ask yourself if podcasting is really what you want to do and why? Who is your dream audience? Where would you like to take them? How often would you like to record an episode? There are no rules. Just know that in order to build a strong following requires a relationship. By showing up occasionally are you ghosting your listeners?

Those in the entertainment business not podcasting know of the command and demand and are honest enough with themselves to find better ways to participate with the growth of podcasting,be the forever guest.

But what happens if you don’t do interviews? What if you’re doing a sports show? Politics or something completely off the wall like sew clothing for dolls and other toys. The physical burnout may not be in the performance of the episode followed by post production and posting. It might actually be a lack of interest in the subject. Coming from terrestrial radio we were bombarded by program directors to never do a break on the air unless there was a benefit for the listener. So many times podcasters know what they’re talking about but the listener isn’t anywhere close.

Break up your shows! Make it one subject at a time. Keep it around 7 to 10 minutes in length. Information overload is like kicking a listener out of your private club. While you’re keeping the subject fresh and moving forward your followers are saying, “Don’t stop I want more!”

I go through the same challenges as a daily writer. I’ve been doing it for twenty five years. Not one day of burnout. If I feel something strange I revert to a page where I penned out subjects I might be interested in. Taking the time to make a list for future use serves as a net. Go ahead and fall into it knowing the importance of keeping your communication skills wide open.

So what’s the moral of the story? Burnout is completely natural. It’s not always easy to keep it under control and it’s always got the ability to bring your podcast fortress to the ground. Awareness is key. If you feel the pains moving in then call it what it is. I keep a daily de-frag journal where I am truthful to mind body and soul of podcasting. If I wasn’t feeling it or went numb on one particular episode. I make it clear to the creative process that maybe I need to change the time I’m recording or change up the way I show prep. Nobody’s asking you to be Happy Jimmy every time you pop that mic open. But you should have total control over what’s stealing your energy supply.

I’ll never tell you to step away from your podcast. It’s too easy to never come back. Try something new with your episodes or better yet create a second or third podcast. You can’t turn off creativity. You can only injure it by saying no.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/20712040Fri, 13 Dec 2019 11:00:03 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 36 Facing Podcast Burnout How much work is actually required to create a somewhat successful podcast?

I love questions. It doesn’t mean I locate answers but it opens the gate to explore. Since I began my journey into the digital universe it’s been quite entertaining to see how the podcast questions keep evolving. In 2012 I was bombarded with, “Why am I doing this? Do I really need to do this?” To co-workers and bosses asking, “Are you gonna get any other work done? What are you doing and why?”

The biggest question from myself and all others has been, “How can I make money?” It’s a fair question that still doesn’t have a true answer. There’s a lot of people trying. I mean 700,000 plus. Which has evolved into a new age podcast question, “Why would I want to get started with podcasting when I’d be nearly next to invisible?”

Boom! How can your star be located when the Montana late night Big Sky is overflowing with light? What are you gonna do to bring people to your source of podcast art? Great questions! Do you have the energy or sound to grow a podcast organically? I’m blessed with the opportunity to sit with many different decision makers and podcast creator’s who want to jump into the rat race. Inside their tiny circles they invite two words, “What if?” I mean it seems pretty easy the what if should come with an earned bonus. Right? Until listeners can’t find you. You were last seen somewhere near the Big Dipper or was it Orion’s Belt?

Being fair to yourself. As we grow into a new pair of podcast slippers labeled 2020… You have the right to put it on the table, ”Why would I want to get started with podcasting when I’d be nearly next to invisible?”

Here’s my question, “Why not?” The other day I spent some time with Tom. He loves robotics but doesn’t like the podcasts that put focus on their importance. This huge global business leader feels in his heart that he and his company need to be pumping out two to four podcasts a week. Not so information driven but something listeners will be entertained by while learning new things about robotics. He’s doing it right. He’s asking podcast questions! Before he leaps into the project he’d like to understand its presence, growth, time well spent or wasted. All things that could or should lead him to serving current and future clients.

Then there’s Chris. He was calling for a major player in the advertising world, “We know we need to be podcasting. But we don’t know how. We can’t just start one. How will anyone know we exist? How much time should we put into social networking? Do we need to invest in a bigger team of players? What platform should we jump onto iHeart, Spotify or Apple Podcast?”

Very real podcast questions. Most of them didn’t exist when I first got in. If they did, it was probably in emails and text messages from the brilliant minds of pioneers that figured out a way to bring content to a new level of connection and conversation.

Look, I’m no expert at this game. An all-out armchair quarterback with a serious amount of passion to get people involved. Whether you create a podcast filled with 10 episodes to several hundred, the opportunity to reach an audience anywhere in the world sits in front of you.

You’re supposed to be asking questions. I’ve yet to meet a podcaster that won’t talk about your personal journey. There’s podcast groups on Facebook that love to chat it up. Always willing to share new ideas and ways to fix all that echo caused by recording your podcast in a poorly soundproofed atmosphere.

I walked in on a couple of people podcasting the other day and was shocked to see how far their faces were from the microphone. Even worse, one of them had their mic 45 degrees in the wrong direction.

With so much inexperience inside the podcast galaxy there’s bound to be baby Yoda’s trying to piece together what their hearts are screaming for. An opportunity to participate, be accepted, touch a little bit of success or just feed the beast that always wants to create.

Sometimes the podcast questions we ask others should actually be directed at ourselves first. Where is podcasting moving toward? Is it more than a fad? If podcasting is so big why are the politicians running for the White House campaigning on lesser known podcasts that still have an impact and reach? Why do I continue running into comedians that won’t waste a second of their day talking to a podcaster?

Grab a notebook or journal and start piecing together your side of the story. This show Pod-Crashing didn’t start out being a place to swap experiences. I actually wanted to team up with my good friend Gabe and be like Roger Ebert. Instead of talking about movies, we’d break down podcasts.

While sitting down to record the first episode I quickly dropped the plan. I came from the world of terrestrial radio where every player on the air is brutally judged by program directors, consultants, GM’s and OM’s. I didn’t need to invite that atmosphere here. I’m sure someone’s already doing it because like all things in podcasting you can search for any subject and find 600,000 different talkers expressing their opinions.

Will there ever be answers to our podcast questions? Chris wanted to know if there’s more money to be made producing episodes for the experience then there is for those physically being the voice? I know of three production houses that not only write and produce commercial copy but they’ve opened their digital stage for companies and performers who don’t have the luxury of a great sounding home studio.

As much as I truly and wholeheartedly support their business effort I took one look at the number of podcast episodes I’ve brought to life over the past seven years and know for a fact if I was shelling out money for studio time my deficit would be bigger than that of the United States.

I also run into a lot of people who’re afraid to ask podcast questions. The typical reaction, “I didn’t want to bother you. I don’t want to look like a beginner. You don’t the time.”

Always ask. We may have to set up a time to have a great conversation but always ask. I had no idea how fast time flew while I was with robotics man Tom. That 2pm meeting suddenly hit several ticks on the clock. Once podcasters get locked in on sharing each other’s information, you might as well set up ten to twenty more meetings.

So what’s the moral of the story? I learned one valuable lesson in high school with huge architect dreams. Never stop asking why. Nothing is drawn, built, rented or sold without questions straight out of the gate. Podcasting is something you build. It won’t happen overnight and you shouldn’t bombard yourself with stress filled expectations that may or may not be reached.

Find your peace of mind by hanging out with other podcasters. People that are living the life by way of never turning off the desire to constantly create or generate newer ideas. The one thing I’ve learned about sitting down with others playing the game is to do it one person at a time. You’ll get more out of it. The very second three or more begin to participate the questions usually stop a battle of I did this, well I did this, no I was first.

Podcasters use a lot personal energy to bring their styles forward. Please shy away from comparing analytic numbers and the size of your guests or subjects unless you’re willing to help each out. Your image as a podcaster has already been drawn by the way listeners digest your episodes. To walk into a conversation with a He Man attitude twists the stomach and creates an ache that’ll keep me from tuning back in.

There’s no such thing as a bad question. While creating together we can come up with brilliant answers.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/20525685Fri, 06 Dec 2019 10:33:22 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 35: The evolution of the podcast question I love questions.

I love questions. It doesn’t mean I locate answers but it opens the gate to explore. Since I began my journey into the digital universe it’s been quite entertaining to see how the podcast questions keep evolving. In 2012 I was bombarded with, “Why am I doing this? Do I really need to do this?” To co-workers and bosses asking, “Are you gonna get any other work done? What are you doing and why?”

The biggest question from myself and all others has been, “How can I make money?” It’s a fair question that still doesn’t have a true answer. There’s a lot of people trying. I mean 700,000 plus. Which has evolved into a new age podcast question, “Why would I want to get started with podcasting when I’d be nearly next to invisible?”

Boom! How can your star be located when the Montana late night Big Sky is overflowing with light? What are you gonna do to bring people to your source of podcast art? Great questions! Do you have the energy or sound to grow a podcast organically? I’m blessed with the opportunity to sit with many different decision makers and podcast creator’s who want to jump into the rat race. Inside their tiny circles they invite two words, “What if?” I mean it seems pretty easy the what if should come with an earned bonus. Right? Until listeners can’t find you. You were last seen somewhere near the Big Dipper or was it Orion’s Belt?

There’s so many different reasons why people get into podcasting. The love of the laugh, the openness to talk sports, freedom of speech to we’ve got to make some easy money! Yeah? How’s that working for ya?
My friend Ron wrote to me the other day physically excited that his podcast had finally started to collect pennies and cents. We’re talking 3 cents. I loved his attitude! Dude! You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting to make anything!
Look… when I got into podcasting in 2012 I wasn’t in it for the cha and the ching. I was doing nothing but trying to feed my need to perform. Thirty three years of the daily hustle. Then Terrestrial radio saw better ways to lower daily costs. You don’t need a fulltime local on air staff. In the biz we call it Voice Tracking! To the average Joe Blow listener they couldn’t figure out how Ryan Seacrest drives to Charlotte every day to do a show.
Once I realized how planners and promoters were utilizing the availability of podcasting to help push the word out about their clients I was hit with a thought, “What if I created a platform that took our terrestrial radio advertisers to an area where they didn’t have to worry about getting their entire life story in a 30 second commercial?”
In my head it seemed like a hot ass plan! So I went to the GM. Talked to sales executives. Only to hear, “What are you doing again?” I’ll never forget the GM’s response, “I like what you’re saying but I can’t picture how it’s going to work. Keep working on it.”
As production director of the cluster of six stations it became my personal mission to locate the vein of gold. I kept digging for bigger interviews. Content that was lifestyle and affective. I tried religious podcasting to motivational thoughts for creative minds. I didn’t say no to anybody that wanted to talk. Until the day Comedian/Actor Rob Riggle began answering my questions on the show.
It was all about the Holiday Inn Express. I could ask anything and everything pointed back to the hotel giant. There was no way this conversation was going to be posted. My listeners didn’t need to hear a 7 minute commercial. That’s when it hit me. Every person I talk with is selling something.
I didn’t let it get me down. I studied the path. It’s all about endorsements! As host it became a game to sell their product without listeners calling the episodes an info-mericial. Practice! More practice! Make the mistakes so we can try new things!
Eva the promoter and I became extremely good friends because the guests she was bringing to my platform now one million strong were huge. I loved podcasting! It was time to take the plan back to the station GM. Plan? What plan? If you want famous people listeners go to TMZ or Entertainment Tonight. If you want religion you hook up with a church. There was no product.
I knew that Eva was making money off her clients. I was trying to create money by not cutting off my foot. Eva was a solid source of content and fame. If I charged her for my digital time and space the race would dry up like a California desert.
I knew in my heart somebody was making money. I just knew it wasn’t me nor the radio station. What kept me in the distance was the business world’s lack of knowledge about podcasting. It didn’t become a thorn in radio’s side until 2018. That’s when the top dog companies began to invite podcasters to appear on their digital platforms for free.
There’s that word again. Free. I’ve been a Broadcast instructor since 1988. Not a single class went by that didn’t hear my Free Radio People speech. Radio people are passionate about their performance. So passionate that 90 percent of us left our homelands to chase down the next big thing. We’d go from state to state, fired here. Fired there. Screamed at by listeners, sales people and whoever else needed to vent in the moment.
I was convinced in 1988 that one day Radio people would be doing it for free. Podcasting has given extremely creative minds the opportunity to play radio exactly what their hearts want to design. We already know about sacrifice! What’s one more tiny little podcast really gonna cost?
Can we talk business? Unless you’re Mike Rowe, Marc Moron or Joe Rogan you might have a fighting chance to collect some change for the candy machine. The real money being made is still connected to the hard working, deeply dedicated and extremely passionate promoters that have set up shop on their sacred grounds and increasingly blessed every day to connect the dots. Then call or send an email to the podcaster wondering when the interview will be posted.
We’ve talked about this before. Most podcasters put up one to two shows a week. I’m old school radio. I program every inch of the process. There’s so much structure on how the content is delivered that it might actually straighten the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
How do you make money? I drive Michael Greenspan of Greenspan Advertising crazy! 2am text messages that shout “I’ve got it! We can!” We work closely together introducing podcasting to clients. Selling their products without sounding like an info-mercial. Anybody can do it but can you do it being real and without dropping a price point? Practice it every day!
What about businesses that want to do their own podcasts? I brought this up to a very famous steakhouse totally ending the conversation after one thought, “It’s cool that you want to produce and performer your own episodes. I’ll be over to the restaurant in an hour to use your kitchen to cook my hotdogs.”
So what’s the moral of the story?
People are making money with podcasting. Promoters and Ad Agencies working with national brands seeking free appearances on podcasts all over the world. Well what about the talent, the hosts and the creators of the podcast? I had a comedian tell me a couple months back, “Nope not gonna get into podcasting. I’m too late. The time and energy required to barely scratch into an extremely overcrowded arena is time I can make money somewhere else.”]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/20186851Fri, 22 Nov 2019 11:07:39 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 34: Can We Talk Business There’s so many different reasons why people get into podcasting.

It’s completely natural to wanna build a big bright and beautiful podcast then market the hell out of it.
Wait wait. That last part is the ugly shoe in the picture. To market the podcast? You know, to push your stories and creative spirits onto every possible platform known to mankind. Not just this time but every time. To throw yourself into the center of the kingdom of hashtags and @ symbols.
If you have famous people on the episode you visit their pages and those belonging to the products you brought up in the talk. Push! Make those connections with listeners and or clients for the businesses you agreed to help promote.
I’m not gonna lie to ya. The hardest part about podcasting is the butt kicking received after you post an episode. Marketing your magic is mind blowing important. Living that life and style doesn’t put a dent in your day. The insurance company would label your vocal vehicle a total wreck.
This is why so many podcasters refuse to market or do all they can to get hooked up with a broadcast company or internet radio station to get a solid push. I know from experience how dangerous this decision can be.
As my Mom would say, “You’ve gotta watch your P’s and Q’s and please dot every I and cross every T”
Never give up ownership. Stay independent. I know people who’re putting their podcast episodes on privately owned servers. Those controlling the visibility have interesting ways of saying, “We’re cheaper than anyone else. Heck let’s just give you the data space free!” Sounds great until you realize the keeper of the keys is collecting tiny chunks of cash from the hits and downloads you’ve generated.
Go ahead put on the boxing gloves. We all like a good Rocky Balboa story. Sadly I’ll betcha there’s an itty pitty paragraph somewhere in that handshake that clearly states they make all or part of the money made. Not only that, but there could be another paragraph that removes you as the owner of the podcast. The very second you post it on their server it could belong to them. It’s their digital farmyard and you’ve been invited to ride the horse but not fry up the chicken eggs.
Stay independent. It hurts like hell when the digital partner steps from out of nowhere with a sign that reads, “You’re mine exclusively. If you’d like to keep growing together the simple task at hand is to remove everything you have off all other platforms but this one.”
Dangerous game. Each of your outlets has its own listener base and 99.9% of them aren’t forking out the email addresses attached. The second you disconnect from those human ears due to a tiny misunderstanding it’s no different than starting all over.
It killed me when SoundCloud wiped me off their map. All of that time and energy spent writing, producing, posting then promoting the piss out why they were the hottest thing on the podcast planet. I didn’t even get a kiss goodbye. Then I got hit again with an internet station that I was trying to help bring listeners to by letting them tap into my reach. Blew up in my face. How the eff could this happen to me twice?
Stay independent. Play nice with the privately owned server geniuses but watch your back. The bigger and better your podcast gets the more their analytics go up. Make sure you always get your numbers. Look to see them in real time. It’s too easy to cut and paste then correct a little here and a lot there.
Building a partnership does have its perks. A bigger company and or appearance looks great to potential advertisers. Those spending the bucks in sponsorships know how many startup podcasts are out here. They want to build a relationship with a product that delivers sale or service to their product.
When joining forces know of the expectation. It’s not always about power but rather who making sure that everyone on the team delivers? I spent some time with Sean Morrow of the Who Is podcast. We talked about his mighty team of two. Plus a crew of producers.
A ton of research and travel goes into this weekly presentation. Hour long conversations edited down to storytelling soundbites that bring out the historic content. The podcast is about political figures and decision makers. Everybody in business has taken a strange road to get on top. Sean has to be exact. That means his team has to show up.
The reason why I say it that way is because of the number of stories I hear from fellow podcasters that trusted their partnerships. Amazing amounts of time went into the startup but the follow through kept hitting mountains and walls.
Sean Morrow knows how much time goes into each of his episodes. There are 14 presently finished but he’s releasing them one week at a time. Think about it. 14 shows equals 14 weeks. That a lot of time to keep the pump operating. I can’t imagine what it would do to the shows morale if a new episode was required every day.
Because I book 7 to 10 interviews a day and post 5 and more episodes Monday through Friday having a team is a dream. I spoke of it a lot while pulling off four decades of terrestrial radio. But here’s where I’m gonna be honest. Because I’ve had so many twists, spills and stumbles with developing partnerships the awareness button is always on high alert. I don’t deal well with other people’s times on the clock or laziness. I’m a Pitbull on steroids when it comes to staying focused with this project. Too many of my radio dreams were lost because those in control made bad decisions.
You should’ve heard me cheer out loud this past week when Joe Rogan was sharing a priceless podcast conversation with comedian Pete Dominick. Rogan clearly spoke with authority when he said, “Stay in control.”
That doesn’t mean Joe’s doin it alone. Every so often his producer chimes in. Chelsea Handler’s as well. Both are in control.
Sharing the episode making is a brilliant way to move the industry forward but if everybody’s got equal say and play that sounds like a storms on the way. I learned a very valuable lesson a couple of radio jobs back. If you’re ever put in a team work situation. You need three things to find success. A dick, a dork and a deer.
So what’s the moral of the story? Watch your back. The moon is always promised but I’ve yet to see the cow jump over it. Hanging out with the idea of joining strings with others always sounds interesting by way of being perked up by something new. Think long term. I mean several hundred episodes and more. The bigger this podcasting thing gets the more you’re going to see broadcasting giants taking huge chances on those that’ve dedicated their blood sweat and tears. Agreements will be made. Hearts will be shattered. Incredible podcasts will then go silent. And all you had to do was keep control.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/20045205Fri, 15 Nov 2019 11:04:44 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 33: Staying Independent It’s completely natural to wanna build a big bright and beautiful podcast then market the hell out of it.

Building your community. We hear a lot about that. If you’re a podcaster and it’s not your thing. You’ve still gotta get on board. Posting your episodes on the digital platform without using the other tools is like walking into a restaurant just to use their bathroom. You didn’t buy anything. You used their water, paper products and their customer service space.
I’m amazed at how many podcasters aren’t on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Even more shocking are the number of talkers that won’t go anywhere near a blog to help push their numbers up. I love Mix.com. It’s free. Post the URL and let your episode take a ride on the wild side.
Communities are organic. As much as it hurts knowing how long it takes to shape a listening audience it’s not always a good idea to fork out money you’re not making to a group that’s promising you more listens and followers. Kind of a dangerous game to play if your podcast features copyrighted music. The more people you’ve get hooked up means the streaming fees are going up up up.
Posting on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pretty much means your circle of supporters are the only one’s getting it. Unless you gain the courage to start accepting people you don’t know. That in itself sinks a lot of podcasters into a mode of self-protection. When I bring it up to podcasters I usually get shrugged shoulders or oh hell no. I don’t a huge community to feel like I’m doing a good job with my episodes.
I was listening to Joe Rogan’s Facebook live rebroadcast as a podcast. The master of all things digital media loves the idea of inviting friends over to do nothing more than sit around smoking pot and talking about everything under the sun. And oh boy do they. In an odd ball way I found it to be engaging.
The only downfall that served as a constant reminder to bail was how bad the vocal quality sucked.
The episode was unbelievably unedited. It wasn’t as studio smooth as we’re used to getting. But you’ve got to hand it to Rogan. The Dude’s got a plan to keep his numbers alive and kickin.
The way I Facebook Live and or Skype the conversation is by running the computer through the control board. While the cameras are on the Adobe Audition is capturing everything. Maybe it’s the commercial production person from terrestrial radio trying to push he’s ego into the mix. The one thing that’ll crush your somewhat healthy or new list of followers is the horrid echo caused by the room.
I love the idea that podcasting can be recorded in any place of choice. Building that community requires you to be in the public eye. I have a great time hosting 5 to 7 telephone conversations while sitting on the patio at Panera Bread. I’ll invite guest hosts to join me. It creates talk while listeners watch.
I talked with Holly Frey and Tracy V Wilson from the podcast Stuff You Missed In History Class. They totally dig doing their episodes in front of group of people. It requires a lot of confidence to put on the earphones and get locked up in talk while sitting in public. I had a program director stand next to me at a live radio event during the 90’s. Every time I talked on the road he’d come over on live radio and hit me, throw nurf balls at me and make wild faces that would bust open a giant can of laughs.
Learning how to tune out your surroundings allows you to stay focused on your community that’s tapping in via the digital platform. Then again maybe your episodes don’t require that. No matter where you stand there’s still got to be a left or right hand on the heartbeat of why you’re reaching for analytic numbers.
Building that community. Before I was kicked off SoundCloud I’d personally write a note to every person that checked in. I don’t know why the other platforms don’t allow you do that. I was getting some hot numbers because time was spent saying two words, “Thank you.” I got kicked off the platform because of my music interviews. Itty bitty snippets of sound from a new album or catalog from the past were being used. I was talking to the makers what’s the big deal right?
Unknowingly I was breaking copyright laws and was forced into SoundCloud prison. Here’s what made the entire process preventable. When I started using the platform I had a different email address. After a couple of years I stop using it. SoundCloud was sending me warning letters over and over. I was totally disconnected from the email. So they booted me.
That’s another area you need to be careful with. What email are you signing up with? That would be your business community. These people need to always have a place to get your attention. When something’s not right they’re not coming to your front door.
Speaking of that email. Are you letting your listeners send you mail? Yeah yeah that’s just another way to be slammed with a virus. Create a second or third Google account. If it smells like a virus on that page it’s gonna be instantly tossed into Spam.
It’s fun to answer questions on the air from listeners. It opens the door for you to talk about episodes that were posted a week or a month ago. Your community will love you more if you take the time to slip in a billboard. The question is asked and your answer is totally promoting the episode. All the more reason to never do this on Facebook Live cuz you may think you’ve got a good memory until the stuff isn’t instantly working its way to the listening audience. Then your episode gets weighed down by ums, ands and well hell I forgot.
So what’s the moral of the story? Don’t just stand there with your hands in your pocket. You’ve been given a world of tools to craft a huge community of faithful followers. But for some reason we think they’re gonna just pop up and love ya. Even if they did what’s happening on the next episode that’s gonna keep them there?
Picture yourself on a kayak four miles out on the Atlantic Ocean. That’s your podcast. Unless you’re looking to become a human raisin, you’ve gotta find some land! Water! A worm for your hook so you can eat seafood!
Building a community means getting into the community. It means utilizing the strength of why we podcast. To make connections. To create conversation. To be accepted for your hardcore passion and drive for professional wrestlers that wear bowling shirts while trying to enter an upscale nightspot.
Set aside 15 to 30 for each new episode. If you talked about peanut butter and the brand that’s made it famous. Let your community expand by posting your episode on their Facebook or by hash tagging their beautiful name. Use your @ symbol. Your community will begin to grow and the only thing you spent was time massaging the ears of people you may never meet.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/19928233Sat, 09 Nov 2019 08:00:09 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing: Episode 32 Building your community.

Building your community. We hear a lot about that. If you’re a podcaster and it’s not your thing. You’ve still gotta get on board. Posting your episodes on the digital platform without using the other tools is like walking into a restaurant just to use their bathroom. You didn’t buy anything. You used their water, paper products and their customer service space.
I’m amazed at how many podcasters aren’t on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Even more shocking are the number of talkers that won’t go anywhere near a blog to help push their numbers up. I love Mix.com. It’s free. Post the URL and let your episode take a ride on the wild side.
Communities are organic. As much as it hurts knowing how long it takes to shape a listening audience it’s not always a good idea to fork out money you’re not making to a group that’s promising you more listens and followers. Kind of a dangerous game to play if your podcast features copyrighted music. The more people you’ve get hooked up means the streaming fees are going up up up.
Posting on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pretty much means your circle of supporters are the only one’s getting it. Unless you gain the courage to start accepting people you don’t know. That in itself sinks a lot of podcasters into a mode of self-protection. When I bring it up to podcasters I usually get shrugged shoulders or oh hell no. I don’t a huge community to feel like I’m doing a good job with my episodes.
I was listening to Joe Rogan’s Facebook live rebroadcast as a podcast. The master of all things digital media loves the idea of inviting friends over to do nothing more than sit around smoking pot and talking about everything under the sun. And oh boy do they. In an odd ball way I found it to be engaging.
The only downfall that served as a constant reminder to bail was how bad the vocal quality sucked.
The episode was unbelievably unedited. It wasn’t as studio smooth as we’re used to getting. But you’ve got to hand it to Rogan. The Dude’s got a plan to keep his numbers alive and kickin.
The way I Facebook Live and or Skype the conversation is by running the computer through the control board. While the cameras are on the Adobe Audition is capturing everything. Maybe it’s the commercial production person from terrestrial radio trying to push he’s ego into the mix. The one thing that’ll crush your somewhat healthy or new list of followers is the horrid echo caused by the room.
I love the idea that podcasting can be recorded in any place of choice. Building that community requires you to be in the public eye. I have a great time hosting 5 to 7 telephone conversations while sitting on the patio at Panera Bread. I’ll invite guest hosts to join me. It creates talk while listeners watch.

A single snap shot of our present place on the digital platform and barely anybody can figure it out. There’s a lot of guessing going on and you’ve gotta love it.
Heard a quote today, “When I jumped onto this there were no forefathers.”
Sharing that message was Michael Stevens who’s helped strengthen YouTube’s footprint into something other than free music and crazy self-created smartphone videos. His show Mind Field gets into the head and heart of why we feel fear, have anxiety and face every other emotion available to mankind.
Michael went on to say, “If they aren’t watching you. They’re watching someone else.”
He’s right. YouTube fans and followers know what they’re looking for because it’s delivered on demand. They may be leaving you but they’re not leaving the platform. Just give me that big beautiful search engine.
As podcasting continues to gain in popularity its visibility must become clearer. Hardcore listeners know where the episodes are. The average newbe to the platform continues to struggle with what the difference is between Apple Podcasts and Castbox, Deezer, Spreaker and even Podcast Addict.
iHeart Radio has earned their rightful place at the top of where listeners are making connections. The search engine can be a little tricky. You’ve got to have the name of the podcast exact. Which is a big issue for many show creators. I’m horribly guilty of it. Every one of my podcasts are not street speak. I have Unplugged and Totally Uncut, Like its Live, Poetic Elevation. Unless you know what to look for it goes against the natural flow of reaching for what you seek.
Spotify is also a pretty good sized owner of the podcast pie. Through a free digital hookup on Anchor the Spotify platform is gaining in numbers. Who better to know that than a huge amount of podcast promoters that have taken over Linkdin and FaceBook with How To videos filled with promises of locating a stronger listening base for you.
I’ve sat through a lot of webinars. Taken boxes of notes. Questioned by questions. It takes me back to what Michael Stevens was saying, “When I jumped onto this there were no forefathers.” Millions of us are striving to reach the same success goal. How we’re getting there is the multiple layered story. How I got to my first million probably won’t work for anyone else. I’m honest enough to call it being at the right place at the right time.
Maintaining what I started is murdering the clock. Podcasters like Jake Brennan on Disgraceland keeps his episodes on a track of once every other week. Will Ferrell does his in seasons. We don’t know if he’s knocking out 8 to 10 episodes in a week. Maybe we’ll find out more since he and iHeart Media have teamed up to create what looks to be the globes first comedy podcast network.
I was talking with actress Missi Pyle about her podcast called The Mother Load. Two moms talking about raising young children in 2019. The challenges, the chores, the victories and struggles to keep your career alive while loving those brought to life.
In every podcaster’s voice I talk with I hear the journey. The expectation of trying to keep up. The disappointments of not getting enough downloads of listens for potential advertisers. Everybody’s good day always has the potential of helping others make their way down an extremely twisted river with so much fish to eat but getting to them requires more than a worm on a hook.
Comedy Clubs are capitalizing on the popularity of podcasting. Mommy-casts pull in so many female fans that food and wine sales are going through the roof. To land on that stage you’re gonna need deep pockets or huge numbers. I’ve seen comedians play to a room of 25 or less. How does a podcaster react when the club rented shows a couple of people sitting on stage still hacking it up and rolling around like two kids driving mom crazy?
I don’t know if I could pull something like that off. My interviews and motivational shows are designed to be one on one. To talk with the person that happened to check in with you. Don’t get me wrong, I love a live stage with a big amount of people expecting something from my flow of creative energy. As a podcaster though… I don’t think that’s my thing.
“When I jumped onto this there were no forefathers.” Michael Stevens went on to say that as podcasters we need to become more of a community and not linear. Another words lean away from the microphone and wink at those watching the performance. From that ledge you say something like “Don’t wing it. Prepare for it. Listeners are smarter than you. I know where the next button is.”
Most of us get our podcast lessons from listening to the giants that’ve been doing it for decades. Today I was checking out Joe Rogen and Kevin Smith talking about how podcasters have become addicted to creating seasons. That’s when the host does 12 to 15 shows then takes off a few weeks. Kevin and Joe both agreed that it’s just wrong. This isn’t television. Podcasting shouldn’t be treated as such.
Rogen’s into the performance as well as the game. He knows the importance of being loyal to how he’s designed the total package program layout. He’s doing seven episodes this week. Which doesn’t sound like much until you realize his interviews are up to two hours long. He likes to win and doesn’t let anything get in the way of a winning performance.
Compared to that, my style of podcasting is completely different. That’s part of the soul of doing it. Nobody’s truly sticking to a format or corporate driven approach to getting the job done. We’re artists and artists to their own thing. The majority of the episodes I do are 7 to 14 minutes long. Then I program the hell out of the platform. I do it like a radio station lays out music. Three of my fifteen podcasts get five episodes per day. 5:30 am suddenly becomes 3 pm. Then it’s time to show prep for tomorrow’s conversations.
This isn’t anything new to my lifestyle. For forty years I’ve always been associated with specialty programming on terrestrial radio. Now I can do it the way I hear it not by playing the same 15 songs on a weekly countdown or penning out and executing a Classic Rock Update that barely clocks in at 55 seconds. Writing my own rules meant fighting for my own space. I’ve been known to get extremely protective while dealing with outsiders that haven’t lived the path.
So what’s the moral of the story? No two pieces of clay are worked the same. The Potter doesn’t know the end result until it’s fired with all that glaze. Podcasting is no different. The goal is to head into everyday knowing you’re committed to making a ton of mistakes while never going over the top with affection when an episode exceeds the listening limits. Tomorrow a new day. Bring the game.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/19784419Fri, 01 Nov 2019 04:00:07 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 31 Controlled Chaos A single snap shot of our present place on the digital platform and barely anybody can figure it out.

Podcasting’s history. It’s been trudging along since the late 1980’s. Gained some speed during the birth of the iPod generation and has lightly floated around at an uneven pace without any real race.
Podcasting’s always been that nearly next to underground thing comedians, politicians, home studio junkies and maybe a few teachers have done. Hey man you can say anything. Play anything. Make it your own thing or copy someone’s pretty good thing. Those dropping vocals on the platform clearly stayed true to their ambition, “We aren’t radio. We are us.”
Better technology and cheaper data lifted listeners to a new level of connection. Millennial’s that loved NPR started gravitating toward podcasts because of the power of choice. We are that layer of people that dig it when we can get it on demand.
It’s completely natural to think we’re living in the Golden Age of content consumption. Whoa whoa slow down. Not a lot of people on this side of the microphone are leaping onto that idea just yet. I mean compared to my early steps through hairy jungles and bitterly cold snowcapped peaks of 2012 forward, the information generation has latched onto some huge support from iHeart Radio, Radio One, NPR and small terrestrial station owners that think it’s a cool way to give advertisers an added benefit. Buy our radio station and we’ll toss your commercial onto a podcast free!
Podcasting’s gettin some love and affection but it feels like we’re only six month into a marriage. The endorsements are coming in. Just today on Bob Pittman’s Math and Magic podcast, the legendary Walter Isaacson totally lifted his hat and praised the platform because it’s bringing the world back to storytelling. Who better to know that then the writer and creator of Disgraceland Jake Brenna. I asked him if we were living in the pioneering days of AM Radio mid 1920’s.
From his heart he believes this new age of tossing out thoughts and journey’s is still 40 years from becoming a true super power. He used my mid-1920’s reference while explaining how long it took terrestrial radio to true become a part of the entire nation. Movies the same. Where we are today with motion pictures is lightyears beyond those initial first shots.
So it got me thinking. Technology over the past 100 years has pushed the human mind and spirit further than any other time in history. Why would it take another 40 years of podcasting to truly be seen as a powerhouse form of entertainment, communication, teaching, building and making money?
Because it’s still a guessing game. Those that should be doing aren’t. It’s not part of their threads of success because the old way is still working. There’s no interest. Bob Pittman loves the idea that teens and adults in their 20’s are hopping onto the podcast scene. Remember he’s the dude that created MTV. The I-Gen generation is fearless and has spent the past 15 years getting exactly what they want on demand.
As each member of the I-Gen team grows inside their careers they’re bringing with them an experience. This is how podcasting worked for them as a creator and as a listener. Once a position of decision making is reached that opens the field of communication to be replanted.
As of right now there’s way too many podcasts on the platform that should be making money but where’s the sales staff? You can’t keep pouring a lot of energy into an idea if nothings coming back. Podcast creating demands time. Thirty plus episodes feels fun. Advertisers need hundreds with huge listening and download numbers.
Those fronting the advertising budget need a return on their investment. Sixteen hits a day isn’t exciting enough for businesses to play. Here’s what makes the game even tougher. Where is your listening audience? Johnny’s Burger Shack on Broadwater Ave isn’t interested in building a relationship with folks in a town 2,000 miles away.
Talk about a buzz kill right? No! It needs to be talked about. Super Mega podcast connections like PodcastOne went the route of bringing in the big dogs like Adam Carolla, Laura Ingrahm, pro wrestler Steve Austin, Dr Drew, Shaquille O’Neil and more. Big names bring in clients.
It’s moments like this that you gotta pull off an out of control but completely natural gut check. Is David available to take on Goliath one more time? Jake Brenna from Disgraceland is onto something. He knows how pretty the podcast adventure smells right now cuz for the first time terrestrial radio bosses are seeing the potential of money being made.
How do you jump onto that gravy train? Let me ask you this? Are you sure you want to? Don’t forget what we talked about a few paragraphs back. Podcasting is nearly next to being underground. There’s been a lot of pride put into the roots of this machine from people that still believe, “We aren’t radio. We are us.”
I learned one very important rule during my 37 years on that tower of power. Radio sales people are hungrier than the on air talent they’re selling. Somewhere out there are budding ad agencies searching for podcasts that have healthy analytic numbers. More importantly… podcasts that are destine to stick around and not suddenly disappear from the map because you weren’t the mood to perform this week and the one before that too.
What we need are podcast lifestylers that want to make money away from their corporate radio job. To step out at night or during lunch and pull off something that’ll probably get them fired. You know… conflict of interest. But you can’t put your home front on the line until you’re comfortable with the writers, producers and performers that are addicted to the podcast sickness.
I’ve yet to meet another me. Not conceited. A man of truth. In the studio everyday 530am til 4 pm and later. Hundreds of people write to me about needing to make money from their podcast. I always ask, “When did you post your last show?” Um last month. Maybe next Thursday. No wonder an army of sales executives aren’t marching this way.
Marc Maron gives us two shows a week. Joe Rogan the same. They travel the world every week and still pull off episodes that are longer then every Star Wars movie combined. If you don’t have the time then think about creating a twelve show season. Hit the streets promoting the crap out of it. Make a lot of noise and shake up the atmosphere with your art.
The podcasting trail is no longer a little chunk of land with patted down grass. There’s dirt where there was once green. One day the greenway maybe paved. In order to call it a success the path can’t be a half mile long. I hike Kings Mountain State Park for a reason. Over 20 miles of incredibly different leg busting lung piercing trails designed to kick your ass.
That’s what’s gonna catch the eye of a chance taking sales force. Cause a conflict of interest.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/19463274Sat, 12 Oct 2019 05:00:18 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 30: Are We There Yet We’ve talked about it multiple times.

The many shapes and shades of this thing called podcasting. The new age way to blog. No really! That’s how it got started. A ton of words were being tapped into the face of a computer. Everybody was doing it. The postal worker, the sewing machine lady, the ice cream teen. We were communicating! Yeah… maybe a little.
There they were! The writer’s thoughts! Nicely crafted paragraphs. But you weren’t picking up their vocal inflections. The reader was forced to use their own interpretation. I endlessly received daily emails from readers that couldn’t figure out my mess.
A trainload of research hitting a brick wall. Before podcasting I tried V-logging. Taking my blogs and reading them on video. I totally sucked at that! I tried too hard to create a connection. Plus the amount of time that goes into editing. Especially when the screw ups were total bonehead moments. It was making the videos bumpy and pretty small town market uncool.
Everybody’s got their own story as to how they got hooked up with a podcast. I was a terrestrial radio junky with an ego the size of every holiday and I needed a stage. A performance. An outlet! Being there in 2012 felt like the moment my daughter and I shared while riding horses on my Uncles ranch in Ranchchester Wyoming.
She asked, “Where are the trails we’re supposed to follow?” My only reply was, “Make it up as you go.”
Oh I can’t gp back and listen to the early day podcasts. I had one of those fake disc jockey voices. If I was telling the story of a musician or actor it sounded like a Casey Kasum reject project. I knew how to talk over the intro of a song on the radio but damn this new level of podcast play where there’s no music had turned into a beast!
Honestly it’s been fun. To physically explore newer ways to perform by way of creating a listening community has been incredibly engaging. But there are many shapes and shades in the game of podcasting. Just as there were in Blogging. You can get on there and say pretty much whatever you want. To rely on improv requires skill and craftsmanship. Even with those two tools in the box, I’ve heard some brilliantly funny comedians totally suck with the podcast.
I think its body language. When we see the funny people on stage their facial expressions and body movement sell the punch line. Comedian Jared Freid knows of the separations. He won’t take his podcast to a live public performance. He doesn’t want fans and followers of the podcast to suddenly be thrusted into an atmosphere that’s based heavily on the performance and not a conversation.
Which you can clearly hear when Dax Shephard and Chelsea Handler take their podcasts outside the comforts of four walls and a dog or cat lying next to your feet. As much as I love their podcasts I usually don’t make it to the end because as a listener I feel like the Uber driver that can’t stop the car and party with you.
Let’s get back to the body language. If your episodes sound a little flat and out of tune. Let’s put a mirror in front of your microphone and study your patterns of delivery. My studio overlooks a beautiful forest in south Charlotte, NC. Everything is facing the window. I can see my reflection. No conceit. I’m talking to that person. I’ve made them part of my conversation. The best part is? I can have earphone hair and they can relate. They have it too!
Keeping track of your body language allows you to shape your thoughts and how they’re being delivered. Too much energy can easily be seen as well as heard. 99.8% of all podcasts are listened to by one person. Not a group. It isn’t the family hour year 1933. One person. Your voice. Their ears. Share a conversation. Don’t blast their eardrums.
Which I kind of do when I’m hosting motivational episodes on The Choice, Lyrics From Billy’s Forest and The Daily Mess. There are times I get so emotional that it feels like my hearts about to implode. Keeping it under control requires an honest man’s walk. Really! I take a two mile hike with my dog Jazzie and listen to the episodes. I study their behavior outside the studio. Am I yelling or getting too preachy? How will followers react?
The many shapes and shades of this thing called podcasting.
Bob Pittman totally utilizes the strength of his one on one-ness. The CEO of iHeart Radio has this way of developing a relationship with his weekly guests and mindfully includes the listener. He’s very much aware of our existence. Whereas many podcast hosts think along the line of I’m here and you are living vicariously through my performance.
For Bob Pittman it’s almost as if we can see him embracing each question and or reaction with nothing but body language and total awareness of where his fans and followers are in their day or night. The microphone is part of him. He’s not sitting behind a large silver cylinder projecting his baritone vocals. It’s almost like there’s no mic in the studio. Which allows his emotional connection to paint pictures on this side of the podcast.
The reason why I bring up the microphone is because it’s a serious game changer. You’ve seen the pictures of the performers with desktop stands or the long arms stretching across studio boards. That microphone sits right there in front of their face. All things being shared must move through it and you’ll turn off your body language to make sure those vocals are perfectly pushed forward. Those speaking think you have to sit up straight, pull your stomach in, uncross your legs and don’t lean on the table.
Do all you can to break that habit. While watching the classic sitcom Cheers did you ever see Woody Harrelson reaching for the microphones above? Sports announcers wear headsets for a reason. Let the body do what comes natural. That doesn’t mean to go out and buy a pair. Great quality at that level of play means you’re gonna pay.
Go to a comedy club and study them there people on that microphone. Headliners make the vocal catcher part of their movement. Openers and features are still trying to muster up a plan to somehow get the other hand in on the job.
So what’s the moral of the story? Be yourself without making listeners feel like you’re in a can. Constantly ask, “Do I sound natural?” Be confident without forcing it. If you’re taping yourself during a podcast such as Facebook Live. Someone’s being cheated on. Viewers want to be looked at and listeners need you to talk to them. You can try to do both. But it sounds like it. Besides, those that Facebook live it have the worst microphones! Most of the time you can barely hear the conversation.
Don’t be just the performer. Be greater in post production.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/19351944Sat, 05 Oct 2019 04:00:03 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 29: Shapes and shades The many shapes and shades of this thing called podcasting.

The many shapes and shades of this thing called podcasting. The new age way to blog. No really! That’s how it got started. A ton of words were being tapped into the face of a computer. Everybody was doing it. The postal worker, the sewing machine lady, the ice cream teen. We were communicating! Yeah… maybe a little.
There they were! The writer’s thoughts! Nicely crafted paragraphs. But you weren’t picking up their vocal inflections. The reader was forced to use their own interpretation. I endlessly received daily emails from readers that couldn’t figure out my mess.
A trainload of research hitting a brick wall. Before podcasting I tried V-logging. Taking my blogs and reading them on video. I totally sucked at that! I tried too hard to create a connection. Plus the amount of time that goes into editing. Especially when the screw ups were total bonehead moments. It was making the videos bumpy and pretty small town market uncool.
Everybody’s got their own story as to how they got hooked up with a podcast. I was a terrestrial radio junky with an ego the size of every holiday and I needed a stage. A performance. An outlet! Being there in 2012 felt like the moment my daughter and I shared while riding horses on my Uncles ranch in Ranchchester Wyoming.
She asked, “Where are the trails we’re supposed to follow?” My only reply was, “Make it up as you go.”
Oh I can’t gp back and listen to the early day podcasts. I had one of those fake disc jockey voices. If I was telling the story of a musician or actor it sounded like a Casey Kasum reject project. I knew how to talk over the intro of a song on the radio but damn this new level of podcast play where there’s no music had turned into a beast!
Honestly it’s been fun. To physically explore newer ways to perform by way of creating a listening community has been incredibly engaging. But there are many shapes and shades in the game of podcasting. Just as there were in Blogging. You can get on there and say pretty much whatever you want. To rely on improv requires skill and craftsmanship. Even with those two tools in the box, I’ve heard some brilliantly funny comedians totally suck with the podcast.
I think its body language. When we see the funny people on stage their facial expressions and body movement sell the punch line. Comedian Jared Freid knows of the separations. He won’t take his podcast to a live public performance. He doesn’t want fans and followers of the podcast to suddenly be thrusted into an atmosphere that’s based heavily on the performance and not a conversation.
Which you can clearly hear when Dax Shephard and Chelsea Handler take their podcasts outside the comforts of four walls and a dog or cat lying next to your feet. As much as I love their podcasts I usually don’t make it to the end because as a listener I feel like the Uber driver that can’t stop the car and party with you.
Let’s get back to the body language. If your episodes sound a little flat and out of tune. Let’s put a mirror in front of your microphone and study your patterns of delivery. My studio overlooks a beautiful forest in south Charlotte, NC. Everything is facing the window. I can see my reflection. No conceit. I’m talking to that person. I’ve made them part of my conversation. The best part is? I can have earphone hair and they can relate. They have it too!
Keeping track of your body language allows you to shape your thoughts and how they’re being delivered. Too much energy can easily be seen as well as heard. 99.8% of all podcasts are listened to by one person. Not a group. It isn’t the family hour year 1933. One person. Your voice. Their ears. Share a conversation. Don’t blast their eardrums.
Which I kind of do when I’m hosting motivational episodes on The Choice, Lyrics From Billy’s Forest and The Daily Mess....]]>424buildingapodcastshow,creatingapodcast,gettingabetterpodcast,podcastingisyourvoice,sayitlikeyoumeanitfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/pod-crashing-episode-28-companionship--19258847
I listen to a lot of podcasts. I study their behavior. Not as in numbers but the way each episode infects or affects my extremely busy day. Being a Broadcaster locked up in a control room can be a lonely place. It’s no different than a banker, movie theater GM, computer programmer and so on. The modern business world has shaped itself into a cluster of several offices with each player trapped inside 8 to 12 hours at a time.
Podcasting is companionship. Whatever your taste, someone has designed a show. You feel like you belong. You part of. The content is stored in memory baskets to be used during those moments when you’re back to being face to face with friends and family.
Podcasting is the new love song. It’s the Country song where the singer’s lost his wife, house and big ole dog named Bart. It’s that political friend that doesn’t get upset with your points of view or religious traveler always reminding your heart to locate peace before war. It can be funny, informative, far fetch and a total disconnect.
Outside of my typical weekly run with Marc Maron, Dax Shepard Chelsea Handler and Bob Pittman’s Math and Magic, I took in Alec Baldwin’s podcast Here’s The Thing. I love that actors, musicians, book authors and CEO’s aren’t afraid of putting their stories out there. These hosts are up front and center capturing the perfect and awkward moments.
Some conversations are mindful of the open space while others dig in and cough up the dirt. That’s because the hosts, their producers and others involved are focused on the product. They know exactly what they’re shooting for. Nobody’s winging it. Nor are they podcasting to become comedians, doctors, mansion sellers or football and basketball heroes.
The stories shared aren’t the hosts with ample amounts of show prep. The guests have been given a place to plant their experiences and adventures. They’re allowed to take their time and truly express every emotion required to bring the story forward.
This is why listeners tune in. As the host, it takes a lot of discipline to let your question sit out there longer than someone appearing on The View or James Corden. I get their speed and determination. Their interview methods are madness pressurized by time bombs connected to clocks and advertisers.
That doesn’t mean you let the guest take over the show. One of the golden rules of radio news interviewing is to never let the person you’re talking with hold the microphone. Once it’s out of your hands you may never get it back.
If you’re lucky enough to land someone for 20 minutes or longer, a performance discipline has to be ready to Rock. There I was about to have a conversation with television star and Shopping Channel guru Suzanne Summers. She was promoting her Tox-Sick book. Oh she’s very good at selling merchandise. One question deep into the conversation and woof! She was on the Kentucky Derby track reaching for the roses. It happens. Post production is your net. Rather than fight for the microphone, participate with their answers and get a deeper more affective conversation. Edit edit edit.

There are so many different interviewing techniques. The one focal point you need to always keep in touch with is the listener. What’s the content? How is the content being delivered? How is it being received? Is it strong enough for listeners to make it part of a future conversation?
I hear from other podcasters all the time about how a show could’ve been brilliant for listeners if the guest would’ve been more involved in the conversation. Most podcasters know how to equal out the content and conversation but feel like they’re letting their listeners down because one half of the episode features a disengaged second person.
Once again, edit edit edit. I had a conversation yesterday with a book author that’s penned out a psychological reference book about a comic book villain. Hardcore detail. Brilliant experts featured. Sound bite answers. Very short and to the point. That’s not a conversation. That’s feeding a news room reporters ear which makes it easier to slip it into a three minute newscast.
So I started stepping away from the book. Maybe too much away. He’s written a book about a comic book killer. I simply asked, “Have you ever thought about putting yourself in a prison cell with a real killer and breaking down their life like you have with this comic book killer?” Boom lights out! His only reply, “Not my thing.” I took on his answer. I wanted a story. I needed content. I had invested time and energy in show prepping. This wasn’t going to be a blah blah blah episode. I took him out of his interview mode into a pit of discomfort.
The editor in me has to go into the conversation and turn it into an attraction. The author stopping could very well be the headline. Now answer the question why. Give it some front space, a lead in, allow listeners to hear your side. Then move forward to get a reaction.
This is what I call podcast companionship. Being real with those who’ve chosen to jump on board. I didn’t hit my first million by dropping trash on the highway. It’s been about being faithful to listeners that show up. Not everybody famous or on their way is a good talker. I respect everyone that shows up. As a professional though I’m gonna get them into a Cheers Bar mental state of just talking. To hear the real voice. We all have stories. The mission is to share it.
For many of us we aren’t lucky enough or big enough to land the one and two hour conversations like Joe Rogan. Joe is very good at what he does because he’s extremely comfortable with his guests and he lets them talk. Although today… while listening to the Black Keys, the band wasn’t quite finished yet and interrupted Joe. The host peacefully sat back and let them get to an incredible payoff.
So what’s the moral of the story? Keep one eye on your performance while keeping the other on those receiving it. Howard Stern knows how to conduct a conversation because he hears it in his heart to move on or it’s going to get old. Through my experiences, seven minutes into any conversation and somebody’s repeating stories. Lock your guest in and keep them on track to your needs.
A great friend who interviews every top dog in Hollywood once said to me, “I don’t care how big the person sitting next to me is. If they aren’t delivering. I get up and leave.”]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/19258847Sat, 28 Sep 2019 04:00:09 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 28: I listen to a lot of podcasts. I study their behavior.

Maybe it’s because I come from a forty year terrestrial radio background or it’s the sound of my father’s voice, “Don’t be a know it all.” Getting guests for your podcast is a wise step in building your community of listeners. But it has to be the right show and episode.
I would never bring in a third party on The Choice because the conversation shared is hardcore one on one character building, repairing and forgiving. The soul of the show is transparency. Having others drop in thoughts removes the relationship from a personal meeting into a radio performance.
I like having guests on Unplugged and Totally Uncut and View from the Writing Instrument because both podcasts serve as a great stage for singer/songwriters, musicians, actors, famous chefs, authors and artists. Share your story or someone will write it for you.
But how do you get them? Great question! I have a better one. Once you get started how are you going to keep up with the mind blowing time eating pace doing interviews demands? A ton of energy is required. The majority of it will never be heard. It’s all behind the scenes! PR people need answers. They book quickly. Sitting around waiting to figure out if you want the conversation it’s too late.
Something else that leaves a bad taste in a PR person’s mouth? Calling yourself an interviewer then shoving the identity aside in a month. They have bosses that need answers. Gotta show em numbers. Who’s doing it? Where are they from? How many listeners will be reached?
I’m blessed with the opportunity to talk with many in the lime light as well as those who’d like to get back in. Knowing this still doesn’t guarantee me an interview. There’s a comedy club in town that keeps saying, “Blank blank blank isn’t available. They don’t do podcasts.” I instantly howl with laughter. That’s a promoter that’s never listened to a podcast! I get why “they” think it’s not a good move. They need to sell tickets now. In this town! Not Butte, Montana.
Comedians dominate the digital stage. They love the idea of breaking bread with someone that’s not demanding anything more than a brilliant conversation. Let this be a lesson though. When PR folks say no… it’s ok to feel like crap but don’t show your ass.
Back to the original question. How do you get the interview? You ask! During those cold dreary early days in 2012 I’d write a story, produce it then send it to the musician or actor through Facebook. The note always read, “It would’ve sounded better if we could’ve heard your voice instead of mine. Share your story or someone will write it for you.”
I never said no to a conversation. Johnny the barking monkey with a fist full of pennies is coming to town… wanna talk to his owner? True story! Elton John’s in town. I get a phone call, “You wanna talk with his road manager?” Damn straight I do! He’s probably got bigger stories. That’s how I learned how everybody before the concert meets in a room to watch soccer. Talk about team building.
No matter what your niche there’s always someone out there wanting talk about it. You’ve gotta find the needle in the haystack. Reach out to the PR people. Knock on their door over and over again. 90% of the time you’ll finally get booked for an interview because another radio talent or podcaster is needed for a ten minute slot to make the tour complete.
Just two minutes ago a PR company reached out to me about talking with a CBD expert. Instantly I’m thinking, “Oh heck yes! There’s a lot people don’t know. Content, content, content!”
Then comes the next email. We need a media press kit. How much input do we have in the conversation? Do you have any case studies? Have you worked with any other CBD brands? Heavy duty hardcore questions that put them in total control. I get it. No problem. Oh wait. There’s one issue.
Let’s break this down. First. We need to step away from the studio. Count to ten. Breathe in breathe out. Here’s what I got out of that. I love the idea of them reaching out to me to help share valuable information about their product. I’m over a million strong with the platform so good move.
Here’s where I reach up and delete the email. I was ok with the media kit. I’ve got analytic numbers for their case studies. I’ve never talked with a CBD company. So what’s the problem? They want control of the final content. That’s not a conversation. That’s an info-mericial. Not for free. No.
This is what you’re gonna have to wade through while building your interview library. A ton of people are waiting to talk. It’s not as difficult as you think. I landed R&B legend Jermaine Dupris just over an hour ago. Then I picked up 60 Minutes Producer Kyra Darnton. Only to be hit with the CBD firm. This is comedy man. You can’t find this kind of entertainment anywhere but behind the scenes of a podcast.
So what’s the moral of the story? Know what you really want and stick to it. If you want guests then make it happen. Be faithful to the PR people and do all you can to help them social network what’s being promoted. Wait wait. Hold on a second. Something just hit me. Let’s clarify one thing. What is a guest? Does it have to be a person of fame? An expert in a specialized field? Can it be Shelia who lives down the street and everybody thinks she’s got a great radio voice?
Ultimately it’s up to you. I book guests based on how I can super serve those tuning in. Content is the only rule I play by. If it’s too inside and the listener no longer feels like their part of the conversation. You’ve got get Shelia out of the control room. Know your beginning middle and end. Have answers for the PR people. Protect your podcast. If it looks and sounds like someone’s gonna use up your digital space to cash in. Make the decision and be good with it.
Have fun with your guests. More importantly create authentic conversation.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/19168829Sat, 21 Sep 2019 04:00:03 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing: Episode 27 The Interview Maybe it’s because I come from a forty year terrestrial radio background or it’s the sound of my father’s voice, “Don’t be a know it all.” Getting guests for your podcast is a wise step in building your...

Being on a podcast journey requires one simple digital platform acceptance: The moment you post... It no longer belongs to you. Which is usually how you can
tell the difference between a terrestrial radio talent and someone that planted their first seed in the open fields of podcasting.

Downloading your episodes is a huge feature because potential advertisers need to know those numbers. If they aren’t showing up? It becomes that little box that doesn’t get checked at decision time. Not everybody’s hot on this performance plan. Only because I’ve spent 40 years bringing radio to life I’ve bumped into many talent that don’t podcast because of a lack of control. They don’t like the idea that anyone at any time can download their episode and paste it to unknown pages.

It took me just over a year to warm up to the idea. I wanted to collect the analytic numbers not someone else. The RSS feed turned out to be the hero. I could put my podcasts on any digital outlet and still get the credit. But what about the downloads? You have to play the game like musicians and actors. There’s nothing you can do. We live in a download it for free zone. Think of it as servicing your listeners. Let them have it. It’s still your show because you’re the creator of the echo.

Listeners sharing your episodes isn’t stealing. It’s helping to push you beyond the initial small circle. Promote the fact that your podcast is on different sites. Dani Shapiro from Family Secrets has help craft that marketing into place. She isn’t afraid to share with her listeners where they can find her stuff iHeart, iTunes, Spotify and more.

Create the echo. Be open to the idea of not being exclusive. I ran into that problem a few years back. I was asked to take every episode down and put them on an exclusive site. Keep in mind I’m that dude that didn’t really like listeners downloading and now I was fighting to keep the 75 to 100 podcast sites rocking. The more you echo the bigger your numbers. It’s the business of podcasting talking not the performer.

I learned a very valuable lesson during that struggle. The question came up, “Who owns the episodes?” We brought in the lawyers. If your podcast features musicians, authors, actors , politicians and other public figures ultimately the guest has control. They can ask you to remove a show no questions asked. It’s their product being featured. If something doesn’t feel or sound right they’ve got every right to ask you to take the wind out of the sails.

Of coarse I’ve experienced this. When you think you’re doing something good by giving someone free space and time and it comes back to bite you. The guest was a rep for a weight loss live a better life product line. The conversation went brilliant! Totally got into the groove and learned a lot. Before the episode could be posted it had to be run up the ladder to every boss, legal team and whomever else was making the decisions. That absolutely cool conversation wasn’t approved. They wanted to redo the podcast and give the guest the right words to say. I walked away. Which created a different kind of echo. The really cool guy willing to give us free advertising was starting to look like a jerk.

I’ve had Country music stars in my studio showcasing their brand new songs. I’m the type of interviewer that wants to hear the inside sleeve story. I love digging in deep and feeling the reason and purpose of why the song was brought to life. We laugh, we cry, we get so serious and yet so real. Then the record company calls and says, “Don’t even think of posting that episode. We’ll get back to you.”

I’ve had conversations with huge actors that do nothing but promote a product the entire time. I refused to not post it. The PR department didn’t like the decision.
They were doing their part to clear the way for the actor to be on the air now it was my job to live up to their expectation. Which is why I created the podcast On The Corner Of Walk And Don’t Walk. If the talent is dead set on selling a product go for it. It just won’t make its way to the more listened to podcasts. It’s still posted! It still gets numbers. It just can’t be used on a podcast known for real conversations with less commercial speak.

I created an echo. A solution that serves all involved. These days I do hardcore research with the PR departments to locate their ambitions. What I’ve learned is that everybody always has something to sell. They wouldn’t be talking to you. Sell the product without sounding like an info-mercial. Create the pace, the mindset and ask less questions while creating more statements. It’s amazing how engaging a conversation becomes when the host shares a statement then steps back for the guest to begin their thoughts. If I’m locked in on asking questions it gives them too much room to promote Taco Bell.

The echo is about sharpening your skills as an interviewer. Rather than run down a list of prepared points of interest. Talk to them like a neighbor. We know how they are.The moment they find something new they want to talk about it. Somehow someway the conversation goes 45 mins to an hour. Why can’t the actor or musicians sales call be the same?

Create the echo.

So what’s the moral of the story? Play fair. Be aware. Know the game. Play it the same. Expect to face mountains. Don’t create valley floors. 7 years ago when I started this mess big business wanted nothing to do with it. Those big pockets have arrived and they’ve got a plan. A mission. A vision to make on demand listening more than a hobby. Latch onto a great reputation. Feed it everyday. Podcasting is no different than anything else. There will always be challenges and changes. Just know what to do when and after you create an echo.

It took me just over a year to warm up to the idea. I wanted to collect the analytic numbers not someone else. The RSS feed turned out to be the hero. I could put my podcasts on any digital outlet and still get the credit. But what about the downloads? You have to play the game like musicians and actors. There’s nothing you can do. We live in a download it for free zone. Think of it as servicing your listeners. Let them have it. It’s still your show because you’re the creator of the echo.

Listeners sharing your episodes isn’t stealing. It’s helping to push you beyond the initial small circle. Promote the fact that your podcast is on different sites. Dani Shapiro from Family Secrets has help craft that marketing into place. She isn’t afraid to share with her listeners where they can find her stuff iHeart, iTunes, Spotify and more.

Create the echo. Be open to the idea of not being exclusive. I ran into that problem a few years back. I was asked to take every episode down and put them on an exclusive site. Keep in mind I’m that dude that didn’t really like listeners downloading and now I was fighting to keep the 75 to 100 podcast sites rocking. The more you echo the bigger your numbers. It’s the business of podcasting talking not the performer.

I learned a very valuable lesson during that struggle. The question came up, “Who owns the episodes?” We brought in the lawyers. If your podcast features musicians, authors, actors , politicians and other public figures ultimately the guest has control. They can ask you to remove a show no questions asked. It’s their product being featured. If something doesn’t feel or sound right they’ve got every right to ask you to take the wind out of the sails.

Of coarse I’ve experienced this. When you think you’re doing something good by giving someone free space and time and it comes back to bite you. The guest was a rep for a weight loss live a better life product line. The conversation went brilliant! Totally got into the groove and learned a lot. Before the episode could be posted it had to be run up the ladder to every boss, legal team and whomever else was making the decisions. That absolutely cool conversation wasn’t approved. They wanted to redo the podcast and give the guest the right words to say. I walked away. Which created a different kind of echo. The really cool guy willing to give us free advertising was starting to look like a jerk.

I’ve had Country music stars in my studio showcasing their brand new songs. I’m the type of interviewer that wants to hear the inside sleeve story. I love digging in deep and feeling the reason and purpose of why the song was brought to life. We laugh, we cry, we get so serious and yet so real. Then the record company calls and says, “Don’t even think of posting that episode. We’ll get back to you.”

I’ve had conversations with huge actors that do nothing but promote a product the entire time. I refused to not post it. The PR department didn’t like the decision.
They were doing their part to clear the way for...]]>351falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/pod-crashing-episode-25-the-seven-truths-of-podcasting--19025651

This past week I was invited to break out of the studio and sit with future Broadcasters. The subject? Podcasting! The importance of investing your personal time and creative space to what’s quickly becoming a good sized puzzle piece in the world of content connection.

Each lecture was four hours long. Oh yeah. When you call me to the stage we’re gonna plant the seed and wait for the first leaf to leap out of the soil.

During those ticks on the clock we covered seven main areas that most podcasters never tap into. My father used to shout, “No matter how much it might hurt or comes across as being boring. The truth
is always the best way to lead.”

Truth number one of the seven. When it comes to podcasting it’s easy to start. Even easier to quit. It’s like looking at a really cool bottle of ice cold beer on a very hot Carolina day. You can’t wait to pop that
top and pour those natural juices through your system of choice. The biggest mistake always takes place during the first big gulp. Podcasting comes across as being free spirited and fun until you need to
get the work done. Suddenly that bottle of beer become funny tasting earth water. You forgot to read the label. It’s strawberry flavored with a twist of lime.

Easy to start. Easier to quit. I love listening to the stories of those getting started. They’re so excited about launching the episodes and instantly there’s 150 to 200 listens. That’s right Captain that oh wow
factor of making the right decision to be a podcaster has pumped up the volume in your heart. You’re gonna make money! But now you’ve got to plan and execute shows number two, three, four and so on. What? The analytics are showing a huge drop in the numbers. That vision to hit one million quickly begins to fizzle and those well invested ten hours have started sending out invitations to find a new sport.

Easy to start. Easier to quit. This totally leads me into the second of the seven truths. Just because I’ve seen many people kick off a podcast then drop it off like a dirty diaper doesn’t mean you’re gonna feel
the same storm. The second truth? You are your own story. How I reached my first million can’t be compared to your journey. The layout of decisions and reasons for each season are completely in tune with your own universe. Podcasting is a beast blessed with many faces. We might see eye to eye on which platforms to use and what it’s like to watch a totally nothing episode become your biggest attraction in months but ultimately your story as a podcaster will walk it’s own path.

This is why it’s wise to join a podcast community. To compare the bumps and bruises. To try new ways to produce or interview. Social media techniques versus just posting it to Blogger.com The podcast
adventure is a wild ride that always has a story of its own. It’s yours. And I have mine. I keep a journal. Documenting what I’ve tried and why. When it doesn’t work out I go back into the journal and locate
the areas of weakness. The best way to build a skyscraper is from the ground up. If you think you’re starting out on the 13th floor then you should also expect there to be no elevator. All things that move in an
upward motion start beneath the surface of dirt.

Truth number three. Practice, practice, fail, practice. The only way you’re gonna bring light to an otherwise silent spot on the wall is to figure it out. Podcasting is like sex. A lot of people show up thinking
they know how to use the tools. You’ve got to practice. To locate that voice. This isn’t terrestrial radio. Developing the right pitch volume and tone demands a little love and affection. Practice, practice, fail
practice. Be nice to your creative self! When it’s not paying off like you dreamed that’s not a red flag for you to pick up a country song and play it backwards. You’re not getting anything back.

When new ideas hit me. I write them down. I plan out what could be the execution. The first attempt never makes it to the air. I listen to the episode in the car. I listen to it in a stinky burger laced place
with a food rating of 83%. You are judged by what’s listened to in the moment. The moment it drops then you’ve got to know in your masterful soul that this is a new podcast that will have lots of episodes.
Don’t quit it before it’s time because its evolution no longer matches the original vision.

Truth number four. Don’t let your friends critique your podcast. The further you keep your art away from those who love you most the more fun you’re gonna have putting it out there. Friends try to be nice.
Friends think you can handle the truth. Friends will lie when something is out of tune or over baked. If they want to hear your craftsmanship let me locate it on their own. Google is a wonderful tool. If they
bring it up in a conversation do all you can to break free of it. Save your friends for other occasions such as crashing a new Cheesecake Factory.

Truth number five. Weekly versus daily episodes. I do them both. That doesn’t mean I like it. Two truths already discussed come into play. You are your own story and practice, practice, fail, practice. I come
from terrestrial radio. We do shows everyday! You get used to the energy. I have three podcasts that get attention once a week. The numbers are high but individually they aren’t generating enough steam
to keep this engine on the tracks. I grasp the idea of why so many prefer to use the once a week approach. I do love it though when I go to Marc Maron and Dax Shepherd and the boys have brought me
some quality content and conversation several times during the week. What do I do? I keep going back to them. The more we listen the more advertisers enjoy sponsoring them.

Truth number six. Never too early to start but you’re fifteen years behind. Think about that for a moment. When I first jumped into podcasting in 2012 it was already in forward motion. No matter how hard
I worked on developing my own voice and style I was still fifteen years behind. I totally respect those that took huge chances in the years before me. It prepared my 2012 stage. This was way before
iHeart Radio began to support it. Long before Spreaker and Anchor.fm. Before those platforms began to unfold I spent a ton of time searching for radios to post the interviews and features. I gave my stuff
away just so I could learn how to play.

Today’s new podcasters have it a little sweeter. Everything you need is right there for the taking. Oh wait. That brings me to a truth. Easy to start. Easier to quit. I’ve always looked at this cool way to share
conversation as being our KDKA in Pittsburgh. That little torch knew it could and proved it. It hit the air in 1920. Alan Freed, The Real Don Steal, Wolfman Jack, Casey Kasum, Dick Clark, Howard Stern and
every local small town hero wouldn’t have been heard if someone hadn’t planted the seed.

Truth number seven. The very second you begin a podcast your longterm vision is to reach 100 plus episodes. You have to think like this! You aren’t going to get valuable advertisers by sluggishly playing
along. Someone’s gonna ask, “How many episodes have you posted? What’s in your catalog? How long did you say you’re going to do this?” They always told us in martial arts that we can’t master the
punch, kick or block until we’ve done it 100,000 times. There was a time in radio when the old timers would tell the young bucks, “You’ll never be looked at as a pro in radio until you’ve been fired three
times and divorced just as many.” The longer you spend in between these sheets the more you’ll understand what they mean.

There you have it! Seven podcasting truths. Grab your light sabers and take up sides during this battle in the galactic core of a universe that looks brighter than the Northern Lights.

When it’s not paying off like you dreamed that’s not...]]>539falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/pod-crashing-episode-24-ego--18958855That’s the area of the ego the person wanted future podcasters to pay close attention to. When the ego is multiplied to super amped status. When nearly next to everything on the episode is about me, me and me. A guest is sharing their experience only to be interrupted by the host.
It’s too easy to get locked up in this habit. Nobody’s doing it to one up the visitor but rather to relate with. To have something in common. A reaction. Heard too often the listeners begin to think today’s show is brought to you by me, me and one more me.
First of all don’t hang up on your ego. You need it for every show. Think of your podcast as being bigger than life. Believing in your product gets people excited. Sure the ego can take you overboard and it may come across as being an alpha dog moment. Just don’t be the storyteller all the time. Ask short questions. Make even shorter statements. Get your guest engaged in you which is then transferred to your listeners.
I host three self-help podcasts. The Choice, Daily Ray of Light and The Lyrics From Billy’s Forest. They look and smell like an ego driven monster. As host I read from journals of personal experience. Teaching other creative minds how to push their abilities without injuring their capabilities. Laid out like a heart on a sleeve are the steps and stumbles. The goal is to recover with a winning spirit and attitude.
Through transparency listener connections are made. It’s never been an over the top ego trip. It’s confident, compassionate and filled with courage. Knowing where the thoughts are going keeps the episodes focused. Becoming aware of how the written words are delivered requires a truthful ear. Listen to your podcast in the car on a busy road. Sit in a crowded Panera Bread with ear buds blasting. Put yourself in the same place your listeners are and see if the ego is getting in the way of building a bigger community.
There’s a reason why content is the number one need for listeners. Without your personal journey, I might as well be listening to a bump on a log. Inflection needs your history. Its texture controlled by the edges of your imagination attached to an ego.
Turn your podcast into a drinking game. Each time you say I or Me it’s a free shot of your specialty.
You’ve got to remember this is all coming from a person that believes there’s an “I” in teamwork. Teams require the strength of being an individual before becoming stronger as a community of creative minds.
I totally grasp what the person was sharing. It’s easy to put yourself out there too far and be judged by the indentation your ego created in a very fragile and still truly undiscovered new world of broadcasting. But you’re gonna need that ego when you sit down with potential advertisers that have heard of podcasting but don’t trust it to bring them business.
The line I keep hearing, “Wow I can definitely feel your passion for what you’re doing and it’s obvious that you’ve dug in deep and want to see this through. I need some time to digest this. I’ll get back to you. In the meantime go out find an intern that’s willing to do some grunt work for ya. Someone that knows the world of podcasting because they live it.”
Swiftly you turn to your smart phone. You need an instant pick me up. Right there in plain sight your ego sees how fast the numbers are growing in the UK and Japan. Yeah but here’s the bigger truth. What do those listeners in foreign countries have to do with Keith Hawthorne Ford in Belmont NC?
Sharing your strength and belief in what’s being delivered is a door opener but that chunk of wood hanging on hinges can easily slam if the product being presented has no legs to keep growing in new directions. The ego tends to get in the way of hearing about other methods of reaching a different more dependable audience.
I’ve spent the past seven years designing and redesigning. Shuffling everything including my interviewing technique. Ask the questions in ways that can get the conversation on several podcasts rather than a well-defined niche that happens to like Rock stars that eat bacon on Fridays.
A lot of feelings get hurt within the invisible walls of let’s do it my way. If you make it beyond seven episodes you’ll begin noticing how hard your heart is becoming. The attitude of in it to win it. Convincing your ego that landing ten listens today is still a victory. Oh wait! You just made 13 cents on Anchor.fm. Greatest show on the planet.
Podcasting is no different than a Renaissance Festival. There’s a lot of crafting going on and it’s the confident artist that figures out a way to be heard and listened to constantly because in the process of learning they put a muzzle on the ego. Go into every project expecting to be bruised. If the internet trolls don’t send you wickedly induced emails then celebrate the occasion.
Be open to talk with other podcasters. Facebook has specialized groups always willing to share new tricks on how to build your following without losing your foundation. Be humble while being encouraging and that requires bits and pieces of a developed ego. If that monster gets out of hand step back a few feet and count to ten.
An injured ego has been trained to silence the artist. Be present with your feelings while understanding how easy it is to injure yourself. When that happens the next move could lead to fewer episodes. The most common excuse, “My job was getting in the way or I just couldn’t think of any new subjects.”
When those words start falling off the edge of your lips there’s nothing anyone can do. Latch onto a book about podcasting. Scan the web for ideas you can steal. Write a letter to the host of your podcast and tell him or her that you miss them. Rebuild that ego with encouraging comments that might actually make you giggle.
So what’s the moral of the story? Non-podcasters are starting to take note of how this new age of communicating content is raising the level of confidence inside the giving hearts of those that love to talk. Although I’ve been known for doing it… The great vibe the ego is giving off doesn’t work for everyone. Sharing the adventure is a huge part of the fun. To get friends and family involved most of us would a podcast studio for them in their homes.
The moment they drop in a hot cup of truth about not being interested in when a few under the breath remarks are made. Keep the ego intact. You’re going to need a fit for a king confident walk for those days when Paul McCartney’s PR crew says he’s calling in at 2pm eastern and the phone never rings.
So in a huge way I agree with the original seed in this conversation, “The one thing that should always appear at the top of your podcast list is your ego.” It’s good to have one but very damaging with it gets out of control. And please please whatever you do. Do not use those closest to your everyday heart soul as a place to get applause for your loyalty to podcasting. You’re setting yourself up for the big hurt.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/18958855Sat, 31 Aug 2019 05:00:04 +0000Arroe CollinsHeard someone say the other day, “The one thing that should always appear at the top of your podcast list is your ego.” I chuckled.

Yeahhhhh guess what? When those numbers don’t show up the thought of doing more episodes sits in the cellar until you’re in the mood to pop open the microphone again or you’re taken over by jealousy. Everybody else looks like they’re having fun so it ignites a new fire in your drive forward.
Not to be a buzz kill but podcasting demands a lot of attention. You’ve got to be willing to work hard and be committed. Even if you’re doing it as a hobby or you’re a business that’s been convinced that it’s a new way to reach customers, you can’t envision a certain number of expected episodes then quit. You’d never unpeel a banana then set it on the counter and walk away. You’d have fruit flies in less than 60 minutes.
From the first start know in your heart podcasting is always moving forward. They say the human being can read the same sentence seven different ways. Take the subject of your episode. It too can be delivered in multiple ways. You’re never the same person on each episode. It’s completely natural to always bring different ideas and experiences.
Look at the way Chelsea Handler continues to cover mental illness. Same subject. Several different episodes with brilliant content and hardcore attention grabbing inflection and storytelling. The other day I was instantly drawn to Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert because he reposted a conversation with the late Peter Fonda. Famous person with a crap life. We’ve all heard them but not in the way that Peter brought his story forward.
The reason why I bring this up is because so many podcasters get caught in the hiccup. It’s that one moment when your creative juices don’t show up. Oh I’ve been there. This is my fortieth year in broadcasting. You get to get to this part of the journey unless you’ve learned how to move through those pain in the ass dry spells.
As to why so many pull their podcast ship off the water? It’s the same old stories, “I wasn’t feeling it. I’ve run out of ideas. The social networking part of the process is too time consuming. I’m not making money and that’s not in my plans.” Yeah yeah yeah.
Subliminally speaking. Hitting that blank spot in the wall can easily affect you. The listener in you is tuning out. Is your show moving in forward motion? Is it more about you and less about the physical listener? If it is… The listener in you is in the front row of your show! It’s read to punch the next button.
No seriously! It doesn’t matter who’s hosting the show, the inner core of every person involved is affected by their way of how they listen. The listener in you has a completely different personality then the performer. Which is why you can’t stop podcasting after thirteen strikeouts at the numbers game.
If the ambition and addiction to podcasting has left you cooled off. Grab some space and head out to the streets or busy office. Time to listen to the episodes in the very places your fans and followers are hooking up to the vibe. Put yourself at their level. Adlibbing and improving are a skill. If you’re dropping tracks with no scripts those ears of yours know when the subject at hand is either off coarse or out of tune.
I do get a little bothered when talent tell me, “Not every podcast can be a homerun. I crack the mic open and we’re off!” Which basically tells me (the listener) that quality doesn’t matter. Edit edit edit! You make a mistake, keep moving! Get the thought out! Then return to the crime scene to patch up the disturbance.
Hitting the blank spot in the wall is a symptom that requires a solution. I totally grasp the free spirit slash organic approach to breaking bread on the microphone but man you can’t wing a bowling ball a hundred miles an hour at the pens and expect to get a strike unless you follow through.
Oh hell yeah. I’m repairing your desire to podcast with my personal experiences as a bowler with the AJBC. It was in the late 1970’s but the analogy of following through is the first step toward a new beginning.
If you’re getting burned out then create a shorter podcast. If you’re tired of waiting for people to show up, do the episodes yourself. If the podcast subjects are all over the place… follow through with well disciplined focus. One thought per break. The food talk goes on the cooking channel not the main vein. The book talk goes to an author podcast not the hot spot. Break up your subjects by giving them their own stage.
If your final decision is to put a nail in the coffin be ok with it. This isn’t terrestrial radio where there’s only so many stations in each town. You didn’t terminate yourself from the podcast. Something needed to grow in a different direction and a sliver of your life looked at that blank spot in the wall and chose the easier route. I’m gonna walk away for a while.
Hmmm you’d gain more experience if you hung in there. Teaching yourself how to quit is a bad habit with no doctors in the market to fix the broken spokes. It’s ok to lose a couple of teeth in this hockey game. It’s not supposed to be easy. There’s always joy in podcasting! The joy of exercising your right to speak.
So what’s the moral of the story? It’s perfectly fine to soak your big toe in podcasting without taking it as serious most. Dabbling around with it part of the growth. Do yourself a favor though. When you do reach that blank spot in the wall try not to advertise it to your family, friends and followers. During that break from the action repost your past performances. Gaining new listeners every day is a fun part of the practice. If your episodes are stacked they aren’t going through ten pages of stuff to find your best work.
If they haven’t heard it before. Then it’s a brand new show. If you haven’t heard it in a long time. It can feel like a brand new show. You might be inspired to crank up the creative engine and give yourself a shot of juice.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/18885874Fri, 23 Aug 2019 04:00:11 +0000Arroe CollinsProbably because I’m a Broadcast instructor I see a lot of startups and huge letdowns.

This is my fortieth year in broadcasting. You get to get to this part of the journey unless you’ve learned how to move through those pain in the ass dry spells.
As to why so many pull their podcast ship off the water? It’s the same old stories, “I wasn’t feeling it. I’ve run out of ideas. The social networking part of the process is too time consuming. I’m not making money and that’s not in my plans.” Yeah yeah yeah.
Subliminally speaking. Hitting that blank spot in the wall can easily affect you. The listener in you is tuning out. Is your show moving in forward motion? Is it more about you and less about the physical listener? If it is… The listener in you is in the front row of your show! It’s read to punch the next button.
No seriously! It doesn’t matter who’s hosting the show, the inner core of every person involved is affected by their way of how they listen. The listener in you has a completely different personality then the performer. Which is why you can’t stop podcasting after thirteen strikeouts at the numbers game.
If the ambition and addiction to podcasting has left you cooled off. Grab some space and head out to the streets or busy office. Time to listen to the episodes in the very places your fans and followers are hooking up to the vibe. Put yourself at their level. Adlibbing and improving are a skill. If you’re dropping tracks with no scripts those ears of yours know when the subject at hand is either off coarse or out of tune.
I do get a little bothered when talent tell me, “Not every podcast can be a homerun. I crack the mic open and we’re off!” Which basically tells me (the listener) that...]]>431buildingabetterpodcast,creatingapodcast,iwanttopodcast,saywhatyouwantpodcasting,thenewfadispodcastingfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/pod-crashing-episode-22-when-it-finally-sinks-in--18824681When what finally sinks in? This! Well what is this? Right. Before 2012 I was all out radio. Not against podcasting. I was just radio. I mean a totally sick puppy that spent 12 to 15 hours a day writing and producing commercials while performing physical shows in several different markets. Part of the workday plan was to blog. The goal? Write about everything. Not text. Not IM. Blog! It was my real voice. I could say anything. Which put me in several large circles outside the realms of radio.
Cool! A following that wasn’t being controlled by program directors and consultants. I was in charge of my own content and how it was being delivered. The goal was to drive the numbers up on the stations website. Big task for a non-morning show air talent. Not a battle. No war wounds. Just an open mind to walk and not jump into this new age of sharing information.
I loved my readers so much that letting them hear my physical verbal inflection had to be the next step. I know! I’ll Vlog! They can see and hear me! No no noooo. A total disaster. It was at this point of the digital journey that I realized most blog readers want the intimacy of reading alone. Pictures of long haired radio people with radio voices interrupted the interpretation of what they were pulling from the blogs.
My numbers dropped in the worst way. How the hell was I going to get them back? Angry at my decision to one up the performance I chose to walk away from the entire digital process to write a book called Scrambled Eggs. I wouldn’t return until it was published.
When it finally sinks in. When what finally sinks in? This! Well what is this? Right. That 2.5 year break from blogging and pretending to be a radio performer is what set the stage up for podcasting to take up space inside this open field of who the hell am I? Then there it was. A television commercial for Chevrolet bragging about how their new models featured wireless internet.
My Beatles moment. Blue Tooth was going to connect smart phones to the sound system in the car. I wanted to be on that platform! But with what? I talked over song intros. Podcasts are an hour or longer.
I didn’t have a clue as to what I was doing. I sat down many times with national decision makers. The man that brought me to the Carolina’s in 1985 seemed ok with the idea but I can still hear him, “It doesn’t make money. So no you don’t have my attention.”
Every publication and broadcast blog spoke of the proper podcast length but nobody could decide. There wasn’t enough research to prove anything right. I was in charge of production for six radio stations I couldn’t stop the wheel to pull off an hour long show. Which is a cheap way of saying I had no fricken idea what I was going to talk about.
When it finally sinks in. When what finally sinks in? This! Well what is this? Right. Wait! It’s 2012! Those closest to the money in broadcasting aren’t interested in what I’m doing means I can make up my own rules! It was sinking in! You can’t break something if what you’re trying to create doesn’t exist.
Sixty second Classic Rock Reports. Yes! The more I did the more listeners I was picking up. Before long I had the attention of music promoters which led to actors, authors and famous chefs. But something was still missing. My real voice. The one created by blogging. Where I could talk about anything! Vlogging didn’t work, why would I take a chance on podcasting? I finally broke the ice in 2013 with a Podcast called The Choice. My addiction to creativity would serve as the platform. Normal people don’t put in 12 to 15 hours at work. I had a habit and it was all connected to creativity.
Utilizing my passion to write blogs I redesigned the layout by getting the attention off me and onto the listener. I’m not the only creative person on the planet. Outside of Julia Cameron where are the coaches and mentors that lead the builders and shapers through the desert? They’re not there!
When it finally sinks in. When what finally sinks in? This! Well what is this? Right. Bringing life to a niche requires unique and a willingness to learn how to fail. Each time I found my face in the mud I went deeper with the exposure of what it’s like to be a creative. Transparency became the steps that started to climb.
While the conversations with the people of fame continued to grow stronger and stronger so was the podcast The Choice. Texture was beginning to take shape. Learning how to find listeners meant playing by the same blogging rules. Write and talk about everything. One podcast will lead listeners to other podcasts. Cross pollinating the podcasts served as an invitation for listeners to explore. Oh he does this too! And this?
A friend asked me in 2015, “What are you doing? One minute you’re landing a conversation with Yoko Ono then you’re talking about writing books. Your Facebook page doesn’t represent the person I thought I knew.”
Remember I am no expert. I’m a daily student. I show up in this recording studio every morning at 5:30 to try and figure out why I’m here and not where my dreams should’ve landed me. Only one GM supported my footsteps during my final moments in terrestrial radio. He was enthusiastic because I was energized. He listened to my gut reaction to how listeners could get what they on demand. Any subject about every possible thing. This is where you put in the sponsor.
His exact words, “I don’t know what you’re doing but I understand why you’re doing it.”
Today iHeart Radio boasts with a very loud voice how they’re the world’s largest podcast outlet. I’m blessed to host 9 completely different podcasts on the platform.
So what’s the moral of the story? When it finally sinks in. When what finally sinks in? This! Well what is this? Right. That moment when you decide how important your art is to the world. When you sit down and record your first podcast. Struggle to get the second finished while endlessly envisioning new ideas that could lead my listeners to your performance.
When it finally sinks in that podcasting isn’t going away. It’s just getting started. There’s a lot of weeds in this wheat field. Quoting Steven Furtick, you can’t pull what doesn’t belong in the field out. You’ll injure the roots of the wheat. In all things podcasting, great shows to shake your head can’t believe I just sat through that. Let it grow. Let the weeds live with the wheat.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/18824681Fri, 16 Aug 2019 04:00:09 +0000Arroe CollinsEpisode 22: When It Finally Sinks In When what finally sinks in? This!

I was reminded a few weeks back that podcasting has always been the underground of broadcasting. Meaning those doing it in the early days and somewhat today were and are anti-radio. They wanted no part in the big corporate decision making because most of them were ousted from the center of their dream career.
I don’t know about others but from day one of my terrestrial radio decades I was always told that hard work dedication and loyalty don’t guarantee the gold watch at 50 years. In fact those three ingredients can lead to the infamous pink slip. A program director once told me how he wasn’t comfortable with hiring people that came with such morals. It got in the way of everyday radio changes.
I understand the underground aspect of podcasting versus radio. I also understand why iHeart Radio announced this week that some of their 850 terrestrial radio stations will serve as a platform for some of iHearts 250,000 podcasts.
It’s a brilliant marriage. For the first time it actually feels like podcasters are being treated like Broadcasters. But what podcast episodes get the nod? What were the qualifications? For those in the podcast underground this is exactly why there’s been a solid line between the two shapes of communication. The decisions are being made by the very people that ripped 6,000 plus brilliant radio people away from their on air jobs and replaced them with Ryan Seacrest and Bobby Bones.
Wow! That sounded pretty mean didn’t it? Especially since I’m a huge fan of Bobby’s podcast. The point is… Here is this lovely little piece of broadcast soil that’s been surviving on its own for two decades and someone’s knocking on the door with a brilliant opportunity to reach out to newer listeners by way of terrestrial radio’s enormous impact. I get it. But let’s do it without the voices already heard on that stage.
There are some brilliant performers in the world of podcasting. Mind blowing fresh ideas with the guts to break down old fashioned programming. I’d love to hear Marc Maron on a Sunday night iHeart Broadcast but would hate to be the editor that’s getting minimum wage to silence the F bombs.
The golden ring is dangling in the breeze. The opportunity to jump onto the airwaves of the world’s largest broadcast company but how will the shows be forced to change? It’s an honest question. I love talking with every podcaster that’s available to share their journey. It’s pretty cool to not only swap ideas but to hear the hunger in their soul to bring their vocal art to life.
Book authors that had to train themselves to use their god given voice. Being heard to most authors is showing up on a page in a book, magazine or newspaper. Now they get the chance to make sounds from their mouth? Terrestrial radio people know that when big business is involved in the broadcast it comes with formats that shout, “Do it our way of you don’t get to play.”
Look…I’m the same way with my 15 different podcasts. Each has its own personality and purpose. The broadcast platform is surviving on its own and doesn’t need a knuckle head to drop in a few episodes and screw it up. I met a terrestrial radio programmer one time that would’ve taken that thought and calmly replied, “This is why I can’t hire you. You’re stuck in your way. You’ve got to learn how to expand. If it means me redesigning your layout. So it goes.”
Will Ferrell’s character Ron Burgundy is getting a spot. The first episode of season two teams him up with presidential candidate Karmala Harris.
Seriously this is a brilliant move for iHeart Media. Content sent out over a 14 second song intro no longer makes connections with long term listeners. The average length of Ron Burgundy is 35 to 50 minutes. I listen to the entire show. Before podcasting terrestrial radio barely got seven minutes of my time before I jumped to another station.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but I hope this move from iHeart inspires other major outlets to begin utilizing podcasting. It would be a great way for small town owners to make time spent listening bucks. With the internet connecting itty bitty cities to the globe all things shooting from your server can be a money maker. Hell I remember when Larry King was only heard on the Mutual Radio Network during a time when every radio station was ABC NBC or CBS.
I’m gonna get kicked out of the podcasters club for not being anti-radio enough. Actually I see it as nothing more than another platform to push push push. But will the episodes have to follow a strict format? The organic behavior associated with podcasting is what makes it sweet to listen to. Which is what earned me an email last week from a podcaster that made it a point to remind me that putting the shows out there is another way for the companies to make money and the podcaster to make less.
There are so many ways to look at the possibility. Radio making money off other people’s talent is no different than 1950’s Boss Jock Radio. The partnership between iHeart and podcasters finally gives podcasters well deserved recognition. The number of business owners that still don’t know about podcasting won’t spend a dime until the seasoned leaders in making money for radio help gas up this new age engine.
I can’t help but wonder though how the surface of terrestrial radio is going to change when it comes to future hirings. Tomorrow’s talent is gonna have to know how to podcast. Your digital numbers will either catch the attention of the major corporations or invite leaders to look elsewhere. Just keep in mind. If your podcast opens the door for you to get employment the features you write and produce probably won’t belong to you. Once you quit or have been terminated the big guys have every right to keep everything that fell from your creative journey.
So what’s the moral of the story? Radio and podcasting aren’t just looking at each other from afar. Physically airing them on Sunday night’s means the relationship has moved to first base. There’s some touching going on. No need to call the parental figures. It’s safe play for now. Keep in mind radio has been around for 99 years. In order to survive the industry has learned how to beg borrow and steal. Protect your art while enjoying the respect iHeart Radio is sharing.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/18779570Fri, 09 Aug 2019 21:22:31 +0000Arroe CollinsEpisode 21: The Bridge I was reminded a few weeks back that podcasting has always been the underground of broadcasting.

Where and how you post your shows no longer comes with a huge dark cloud. Put away your fears and out of control wonders cuz the golden age of swapping thoughts in a box has reached a new level.
For years I’ve called podcasting the undiscovered next big fad. The only people doing it were angry individuals seeking to be heard, comedians, actors, radio wanna-be’s and millennials tired of hearing the same six songs on the radio. Since the very beginning it’s been a one on one connection to listeners demanding content.
It seemed to be the life. You were giving yourself permission to create fun, informational and affective radio. Several things have always stood in the way for radio people to participate. No money. No energy to keep up with the pace of booking, recording and posting and in reality because of company contracts some jocks were stapled to an agreement that kept them off the platform. You know, you belong to us and only us. Which I ran into a couple of years ago and I’m still not over the battle required to protect my junk.
In 2012 I became a podcast hider. I didn’t want decision makers to know what I was doing. The goal was to help create a stronger product that I could take to them so advertisers could leap all over it like a weekend party dog discovering a fresh plate of BBQ.
Why podcasting? When I first fall off radio’s right and left speaker there was no place to go. I needed to burn off a huge chunk of fat! I didn’t want to be any jock on the air. I was sick of being someone else’s entertainer only talking about station events how many songs we played an hour and the morning show.
My only creative outlet was in a production room on a mission to bring forward the almighty dollar by way of writing and producing commercials. That’s not a creative stage. It’s how others make a ton of money off your gift. The payoff was experience which means what when you’ve been wired to create and design full feature shows?
The good news is many Podcaster’s are no longer hiding. No I mean that! The big boys are in the game and they’re grasping for every idea to see if it’ll lure advertisers into the process of future success. Does that mean more radio people are spitting out episode like popcorn shells? Kinda. About three times a week I’ll run into a radio or television person and ask them where their podcast is and its always the same ole answer “Yeah I’ve been meaning to get around to that.”
Without jumping into my Superman Underroos I continue to be one of the ambassadors. I mean why not? Holy crap we can do anything we want without program directors. It’s for all people and all ages. It’s a smart move for those truly wanting to graduate beyond blogging and or hosting a liner card driven radio show.
Here’s where the story’s gonna change. You have a podcast. But where do you put it? The show is no longer the only character on the journey. There are new podcasting platforms popping up every day! Find out who they are and get your voice and performance out there! Wait wait wait. There’s some history in those words. It’s not always been this way. Five to ten years ago the platform wasn’t so easy to access. Mainly because to get a podcast up meant you had to spend money. A lot of it. Which I thought was pretty unfair because those controlling the servers to host the episodes knew nobody was making money. So what the hell? The new age took several hits because thinkers and doers would quit. There was no true payoff.
Well it’s not so much that way anymore. Things are evolving extremely fast. Almost to the point of information overload. Almost two years ago a little bit of profit sharing began reopening doors. It wasn’t much but being a radio prostitute I was happy to pick up three pennies on Monday and another penny by Friday. It fed the ego.
In the past six months a powerful boom boom pow for the podcaster has been put into play. Make the pennies without having to shell out huge bucks to be on a platform. Anchor.fm latched onto my attention right away. So much so I did a frickin endorsement commercial for them! On July 30 2019 Spreaker created an explosion of excitement by introducing Spreaker Prime. No charge. 5,000 shows a month downloads.
Now comes the biggest problem of all. Mike Rowe, Ryan Seacrest, Steve Harvey and Bobby Bones are gonna continue taking over the planet. The huge broadcasting companies play by one rule: You don’t have to have a great podcast our investment is in “your” name. Shaquil O’Neil hosts a show. Well sort of. He’s there but with four or five other guys talking sports. It doesn’t matter. The scent of his breath makes money.
So what’s the moral of the story? It’s safe to say that now’s a really good time to grow with your podcast. Start thinking about it as being a bigger connection to people. Spreaker and Anchor.fm know the way through the dry desert and although it may never turn into the full luxury of the promise land, it gets your bump in the road out there further than terrestrial radio with its twenty year habit of cutting and pasting stories to their website.
The energy you put into this little monkey of a project is how Justin Bieber became a monster of a musician. That little boy from Canada didn’t let anything get in the way of his love for music. Cold nights and sweltering days he spent countless hours playing his guitar on city sidewalks and parks. Then one day the little dude put up a video on YouTube and planet began to tilt.
Spreaker and Anchor.fm are giving you a chunk of hell that has frozen over. Who saw this coming? If you let this opportunity sit on the shore like a fish trying to get back into the water you’re gonna miss out. Yes podcasting is work. Nobody knows the true way to walk. Those of us who are talking about the journey have lived a trail of trials. We’ve not won every battle but damn if the payoff this week wasn’t Spreaker Prime. I started with Spreaker in 2012.
The glory right now is knowing your voice can be everywhere. Put it on every platform out there. I thank God for Mark Maron every day. That man along with a fist full of others stepped onto this stage several decades ago and prepared a new generation of content seeking listeners to keep searching for more. I’ll never get over the fact that some people like to call it a hobby. Maybe it’s because podcasting is fun. You can either laugh a lot or dive into subjects that truly affect those who’ve chosen to listen.

What is podcasting? When I was first led to its little known source of energy in 2012 it was extremely hard to find someone that listened. They’d heard of it but didn’t own an iPod so they didn’t listen. Today the term podcasting is being thrown all over the place. It’s acting like the new Disco. Hot, fresh, something knew and everybody seems to be doing it. Especially writers, producers and ad agencies that are trying to convince their clients that podcasting is the new age of reach.
Wait wait wait. The dictionary in my hand like a southern preacher with a Bible… Podcasting: The practice of using the internet to make digital recordings of broadcasts available for downloading to a computer or mobile device. For many, podcasting is a logical next step from blogging.
Wowwww interesting. Because that’s how I kind of made my way into this pretty cool little sport that big business radio wanted nothing of until about 18 months ago. Now everybody’s bragging about having the most podcasts. Two years ago podcasting was so completely unique to business owners that no matter how much I tried to lead their company to better places to gather followers the structure we were building tumbled and blew away with the wind. My vision had no support. Due 100% to those controlling the budget not having the knowledge or understanding of how they were way ahead of the learning curve.
What I’m starting to see a lot of on Lnkedin are people trying to drive businesses toward podcasting. I’ve posted over 9,000 episodes on Unplugged and Totally Uncut and you’re telling me that the business decision makers are going to have an impact with podcast listeners with lesser than ten or twenty episodes? Every night between midnight and four in the morning we are bombarded with television info-mericials. Businesses utilizing the availability of unlimited time and space a podcast offers have done one thing… They’ve created the next level of selling but on demand.
I can now go to their website and hear a better description of the product being offered. I hear testimonies and interesting stories on how my life is going to change. Yep. It gets the wear the label of being a podcast. It’s content. Consumers devour it.
The problem with a company doing its own podcasting is pretty much letting your six year old child be in control of the household decisions and banking accounts. I realize how easy it is to podcast but your ego is getting in the way. Quality matters and it’s going to get harder for understudies and wanna-be’s to participate because new age listeners are finally getting a good idea of what to expect and what to tune out of.
The problem with ad agencies helping out is how they’ll rip the humanisms of podcasting from under you. I can hear it now, “You need to cover this and this and this and don’t forget to talk about this and this and wow even this.” Too much information overload! To get a non-professional talent as the speaker to cover every subject smoothly and organically like podcasting is going to be near impossible. Changing the subject during the conversation has to flow like water moving toward the ocean. If you’re going to leap head over heal on the subjects it becomes choppy and without emotion.
It’s like listening to a dialog commercial on the radio, “Hi Barbara how are your veins? Oh they hurt. I need to see a specialist.” The conversation is fake. There’s not attachment for the listener. On demand listening means exactly that. We made the choice and effort to locate the podcast we’re listening to. If there’s no genuine heart or benefit for the listener don’t expect the client to purchase the product.
It’s taken me nearly four years to finally get used to the endorsements longtime podcasters are getting paid to do these days. I hate it with a passion. I didn’t come here to listen to Mike Rowe brag about how AT&T has made his life better. If that’s the case then dedicate an entire episode to the company and let me decide if I should make the move. 30 to 60 seconds of talk still isn’t going to do it.
Back to the definition of podcasting. Key words. The practice of using the internet to make digital recordings.
The practice. Not the once. Not the twice. The practice! In martial arts we were trained to believe that we’d never master our skills until we practiced the moves one thousand times. So when I come across a definition that clearly states the practice of using the internet to make digital recordings. As a consumer I better see a thousand episodes. That’s a little overboard but you get my point.
Then again you might not. Just stay in my lane right? No. While production director of six radio stations between 2006-16 I always put one thing first. The client. When a business owner sits down with me and clearly states, “If the 3000 bucks I’m putting down on the table doesn’t get me new customers I have to go into a meeting and fire one or two employees.”
It happened! I’ve been with business leaders spending hundreds of thousands in advertising and they’re scared beyond freaky. Now companies are being asked to leap on board the hot new fad called podcasting. It’s going to bring you bigger cha ching than ever before because we’re giving our buyers content they can hear more about rather than make decisions over a 30 second commercial caught up in a stop set of ten or more.
When you invest your money in company podcasting go for the big bang and brilliantly design an enormous amount of episodes. One thought per break. If you’re Walmart selling Nike shoes. I better not hear about fishing poles and fresh bread. If you’re Panera Bread introducing new soups and rolls please do not bring up hot macaroni and cheese. Utilize the power and the beauty of what podcasting can do for you. Give you endless amounts of episodes so consumers can be focused on what invited them to put your company’s words in their smartphone or computer.
So what’s the moral of the story? There are too many radio people that still don’t know the impact of podcasting because they won’t invest in the required sweat to make it look better than another way for the wild man in control to make another dollar for the business. The reason why the big names of podcasting are making advertising dollars isn’t because they showed up in a meeting one day and shouted, “Neet oh! It’s money on the go!” They’ve paid the price. Did their episodes when they weren’t in the mood. They located their following by serving their listeners. They built the platform over an extremely long period of time.
Companies that leap onto the podcasting platform expecting to find the pot of gold are going to get pissed off when the return of the investment isn’t fast enough. They’re going to hate podcasting and will probably never put another dollar into podcasting. That brings injury to our product. Without those advertisers we’re just messing around with a hobby. We’re protecting the advertisers by writing, producing and creating shows with quality content. Great podcasters can sell the spots off a leopard without a listener realizing they just purchased something and we never once created a call to action. They made the buy because real podcasters share they don’t take.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/18651286Fri, 26 Jul 2019 20:57:24 +0000Arroe CollinsEpisode 19: Is It Really Podcasting?

I’m extremely guilty of trying to come up with catchy names or titles for my podcasts and episodes. Unplugged and Totally Uncut, The Choice, View from the Writing Instrument and Pod-crashing to name a few. Weird way out there labels but nothing as cool as Marc Maron’s WTF, Discraceland, The Joe Rogan Experience or Crime Junkie.
While thumbing through iHeart Radio’s podcast directory I had an extremely difficult time locating Ellen DeGeneres’ On The Go. I wasn’t aware of the title. It wasn’t as easy as Elvis Duran On Demand or the Ben Shapiro Show.
When I danced for the first time seven years ago with podcasting my DJ radio ego wanted to be cool like 48 Hours, Good Morning America and The Late Show. I wanted something that could be branded by me and not a major Broadcast Corporation. Podcasting was like taking my first baby step. No more scooching across the floor. I was up and ready to run. That’s when I realized babies don’t learn how to walk they learn how to fall.
Podcasting’s the same. Everybody has the freedom to write, produce, act out and say whatever they want. What happens if the name of the show or episodes become that collection of letters people aren’t typing into search engines? No matter how many times you social network the presentation the image doesn’t come to mind when new and old listeners need something pretty awesome to stuff into their ears.
I chose Unplugged and Totally Uncut because in the opening scenes of the digital race I thought I’d be original and let listeners in on the entire process of the interview. From the comedians walking into the studio and never knowing the show started before they arrived to leaving in my vocal mess ups cuz I want to be just as human as those who’ve chosen to take a shot and listen. More importantly I was the production director of six radio stations and editing was too time consuming so I had to come up with a name that basically said this is why it isn’t perfect. Unplugged and Totally Uncut.
7 years later, as a personality I’m still unplugged. I’ve always been on the strange side. I’m ok with a head dented in by the school of hard knocks. The totally uncut part has change tremendously. I’m an editing whore. It took me the longest time to learn how to edit for podcasting versus editing for a terrestrial radio show. Podcast listeners accept mess ups and but make them sound natural without having to edit the show to absolutely no mistakes. During those days my numbers were horrid. I remember a listener writing to me, “I love your effort but if I wanted to hear a show I’d turn on the radio. I’m more into conversations.”
View from the Writing Instrument is the writer in me being awkwardly overbearingly too determined to never say, “I talk with published authors.” I wanted a podcast that was all about who what where why and when is your next book due? I live the life of writers because in all things I do it all starts with letters, sentences and paragraphs. My biggest battle wasn’t getting the authors but rather who and what is a writer? What about songwriting? What about script writers? Those that put together recipe books? It truly opened the door for me to broaden my niche.
I also have a podcast called The Lyrics From Billy’s Forest. I don’t want to call this a dork moment because the story behind the name runs extremely deep into the soul of why broadcasting is the addiction. What do you think happens on The Lyrics From Billy’s Forest? A farm boy country songwriter gone big city? Nope. Mark Twain inspired tree hugging poetry? Nah. I spent two years writing in the forest that surrounds the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, NC. I started doing it the day my father passed away. I wrote things down no other place on the planet shot through my thinking system. I’d always tell myself “These aren’t my words. These are the lyrics from Billy’s forest.”
A podcast I totally get into is NBC’s Songland podcast. The name says it all. But only if you’ve seen the weekly music show on television. The Best Of Steve Harvey is a great name. It tells thumbing around podcast listeners exactly what it is. The Best Of. Not to be confused with The Steve Harvey Show podcast.
Armchair Expert from Dax Sheppard totally rocks my listening world. If my wife wouldn’t of told me about it the name Armchair Expert would’ve convinced me that it’s a sports show. Right? I’ve had a conversation with the creator of the LORE podcast. The Dude’s totally focused and turns word play into a candy store. Chelsea Handler’s Life Will Be The Death Of Me sounds like a totally awesome comedian driven laugh your ass off funny show. But it’s not. She’s incredibly brave to push mental illness forward and deals with it by taking the subject to multiple stages and through many different levels. When you listen to the podcast you’ll instantly get the name but without an explanation it kinda sat there for a while. I didn’t grow up listening to albums and cd’s that featured comedians. I’m that guy that’s an out of control visual.
Stuff You Missed In History Class is a brilliant title. Food 360 with Marc Murphy puts being an all-out fan of food on the most important part of the day list. Purple Panties though kinda scares me. What if while listening my wife looks over my shoulder at the smart phone and sees only Purple Panties. That’s why I can’t figure out why E.D. commercials put so much focus on men having more sex. Guys are shouting “Hell yes!” Women on the other hand are thinking, “He’s gonna screw around on me.”
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend makes me laugh without listening. I wish he would’ve gotten into radio decades before podcasting. The Last Podcast On The Left makes me wonder about what’s across the hall on the right. What do you think this podcast is about? Judge the show by its title! The Last Podcast On the Left. It covers all the horrors our world has to offer but imagined and real. Demons and slashers to cults and serial killers.
So what’s the moral of the story? There are millions of podcasts currently playing, many of which bare unique names that don’t always come up while using the search engine. I totally grasp the energy put into being original and how fun it can be to stick our way of thinking way out there globally. Thinking like a listener I’m reminded of my talk with program director of a Charlotte station in 1985. He wanted me to drop the name Arroe Collins. Listeners would write on the Arbitron Earl, Harrold, Errol and believe it or not Aerosmith. I disagreed and did everything I could to protect the name. 35 years in the same market and I still bump into people that greet me with, “Hey Arlo.” As in Guthrie.
As big corporate business radio gets its arms wrapped around podcasting will those being hired need to create content need to shape up their names? The way I moved around the oddness of my titles was to put Arroe Collins on it first then the addition of the other title. A smarter me would of spelled my name A R R O W totally taking out the letter E.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/18612310Tue, 23 Jul 2019 04:00:11 +0000Arroe CollinsEpisode 18: What’s In The Name I’m extremely guilty of trying to come up with catchy names or titles for my podcasts and episodes.

This is gonna sound so 1990’s but in a way with so much change we can kinda still get away with it. How ya diggin the internet and all things connected? In so many ways it’s still making life easier while turning a lot of worlds upside down. Like the way we love, trust, shop and plan for an extremely unpredictable future with AI’s on the horizon.
Speaking from the heart, the digital information age has had a hell of a good time pulling in volumes of information on all of us. Who, what, where, why and how we are and will become.
The Russian’s and Chinese aren’t stealing our background and lifestyle. Aimlessly we’re giving it away on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Podcasting.
In her book The Artist Way Julia Cameron clearly lays out the path that so many walk on. One of our cheap hidden away joys in life is standing in line at the grocery story comparing our experiences with those featured on magazine covers. Your day felt like crap while it was happening but it’s nowhere as bad as Brad Pitt and countless others in Hollywood.
Don’t look now but I’m getting a vibe as to why the popularity of podcast listening is on a swing upward. It’s due to our need to compare stories. Interestingly enough there’s a lot of us tossing our lives out there in ways that haven’t been truly tapped into until now.
With texting, emailing and blogging you truly couldn’t grasp the inflection and energy in our voice unless you were featured in a Vlog. Video Blogging. With podcasting the storytelling is wide open and wow there are some well-respected hosts and guests putting their private parts online so others can relate with or laugh about it.
Howard Stern continues to set the pace when it comes to digging up hardcore nearly next to porn stories. His guests to this day find no reason to hold back. I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to being a huge fan due to how low he can go. But but but… You have to fork out the bucks to get him on Sirus XM. Because of podcasting Stern’s no longer the only one going there. Dax Sheppard, Conan O’Brien, Chelsea Lately and hordes of others are deeply blessed with settling into a brilliant conversation then slowly opening the heart of the guest and then let them confess.
I laugh like a child when I hear Mila Kunis drop a sailor sized F bomb while talking about what it’s like to be a mom. Comedian Nicole Byer discussing the placement and meaning of every tattoo on her body. Alec Baldwin unveiling why politics is extremely taboo with his brother to faking an Italian accent at dinner physically changes the flavor of your spaghetti.
Because I listen so intently to podcasts the best part of the story is no longer in the tabloids. But how much information is too much? I host a show called The Choice. Its wide open on what it’s like to be creative and having to live with a world that fails to get what you’re going through. I have to be extremely honest in my episodes! Creativity and the act of allowing yourself to be a peace filled artist is hardcore and I’ve got the razor blade cuts on my arms to prove it. And I’m not alone.
I’ve been a daily writer for twenty five years. When blogging was hot and moving forward I took the handwritten chicken scratch and set it free. Putting on the digital platform where you can physically hear my emotions wasn’t an easy journey. The early episodes from 2015 sound like I filled in a bunch of blank boxes.
It took a few years to stop being a radio disc jockey doing a podcast to finally being real about having to deal with and come face to face with being creative. I don’t cuss but I do throw myself under the bus. Being truthful about the mental conditions a creative person deals with daily helps me with my other podcasts where I’m blessed to talk with the famous. I love listening to their stories unfold and with it a nugget of gold that didn’t make it to the grocery store checkout line.
But are we sharing too much information. As a martial artist we were endlessly scolded if the Master found our notes in someone else’s hands. Too much information becomes another person’s weapon against you. What you pour into your extremely public podcast can be heard by potential employers. How you present your political or religious views are ways for outsiders to get inside.
Podcasting presents one golden opportunity of strength. The power of one on one. I’m not seeing groups of people listening to the same podcast in the same room. I do though hear from a lot of single listeners taking in each and every word one at a time. I’m honestly shocked that Twitter lover President Donald Trump hasn’t gotten into podcasting. Not weekly addresses but podcasting like he Tweets. The man loves to use his voice on the smart phone app but hasn’t graduated to the podcast where we can hear every musical note used to make his point.
This is another one of those situations of how much information is too much? Could he keep it together without loosely tossing out a few things that should’ve remains private?
So what’s the moral of the story? There’s a lot of talking going on. A ton of subjects and confessions that leave the mind body and soul dangling on a string. As host and or producer of the podcast you’ve always got the power to cut up the conversation or simply let your guest know where you shouldn’t grow. I’ve had people tell me things about their television show that couldn’t hit the air. The event taking place was still a month out. That’s why I’m a true believer in recording everything then editing.
I was with Phil Collen of Def Leppard yesterday discussing the bands events but the embargo to place it on the digital stage won’t be lifted until the end of the month.
How much is too much information might actually reach a point where each podcast has to come with a permission to broadcast contract. The guest must lay down their signature as a way of giving clearance to the host and producer to post the conversation. Remember one valuable rule about podcasting. Just because you take down an episode doesn’t mean it’s gone from the world. Listeners have downloaded hundreds of thousands of my episodes. I don’t have Disney pockets to erase what once existed. Always keep your head on straight and play the game knowing it can always come back and bite you very very hard.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/18571822Wed, 17 Jul 2019 18:09:19 +0000Arroe CollinsEpisode 17: TMI This is gonna sound so 1990’s but in a way with so much change we can kinda still get away with it.

Shaking hands with the future without getting a good look at who it is I’ve just met. That’s how I describe this lifestyle. If you aren’t prepared to let it consume your every thought and time schedule it probably wouldn’t be a good idea to start.
I recently had this conversation with a well-known and highly respected movie critic who wasted no time telling me that he prefers to be a guest on podcasts without ever having to host them.
Here’s the thing. Paul Stanley of KISS says it best when he meets fans and followers that mention how they’d like to one day get into music. If you’ve burped up those thoughts then don’t leap into podcasting.
It’s not being a jerk! It’s being honest, upfront and very forward without you having to guilt trip your journey into another wall of failure. My entire 40 plus years of radio have been flooded with men and women who’ve been told they have a great voice and think they should get into broadcasting. Or those that come out and stick their stake in the mud “I once did college radio. I was thinking about getting back into it.”
First… I’m not gonna stop anyone from dipping their big toe into a giant pool of nobody knows where this is growing. I’ll say it again. If you think you’re going to get into anything and you feel like you have to tell people without ever taking the first steps… Don’t injure your heart and willingness to want to create.
I’m still pissed off at myself for getting into canvas painting 250%. I invested my soul into the process of creating and marketing. I thought I had what it took to be a little better than good. I was making money at local shows and wanted to nationwide. The moment we opened a show in New Orleans and the critics came out I was done. I’ve never lifted a paint brush again.
The only reason why I’ve spent 40 years in radio is because I can’t shake it free from my frame. I live it. I breathe it. I fail with it and find better things to do other than sit and stew. I keep pushing beyond what others will never see. The darkness, the lonely times when you think you’ve got a brilliant idea and flops again and again. If you’re gonna take one or three swings at podcasting and leap back onto land. Save yourself the time and buy into a different ship.
I love Chinese food, hotdogs and perfectly broiled steaks but you won’t catch me on the streets of America trying to sell it from a food truck. Those that live the life and style wouldn’t kick me out of the race but they’d be honest enough to tell me how deep you have to dig before you can drink a sip of whatever it is your chasing.
I get that podcasting is a great hobby. I started my radio life in 1976 hidden away in my Billings, Montana upstairs bedroom using a Mr. Microphone that could be heard a thousand feet from the house. I know how the local DJ’s handled me when I’d call in and ask simple questions about delivering the right words over a song intro. Most of them would chuckle and simply put into the air, “Don’t get started if you have to ask these sort of questions. Experience it first then grow into the path of speaker talkers.”
I actually didn’t instantly fall in love with radio or podcasting. It was a feeling that I needed to be part of it all costs. It reminds me of how I got into martial arts at 42. I wouldn’t allow it to be my midlife crisis. If I was going to take classes it was to become more than a black belt. It was gonna have to be the way I lived the rest of my life.
This is the part of the radio station conversation where the program directors would lean into the conversation and bluntly fork out a harsh thought, “Get the passion out of your game. It’s injuring you. You’re taking things way too seriously. The only thing we want from you is to do your job. Radio isn’t an art gallery. It’s a business.”
Harsh right? Broadcasters hear it all the time. Podcasting will soon make the same evolutional changes. The big guys have arrived and in their business eye it’s a business. They want to make money and they want to do it now. iHeart and Spotify aren’t messing around with who is thinking about getting into the podcast circle. By the time you decide to take that leap of faith there won’t be any more room inside this oversaturated digital world.
If it’s truly what your heart is commanding podcasting is going to require more than a USB microphone and a recording device. Growing into this pair of shoes meant discipline. Just because your studio might be in the coolest room in the house doesn’t guarantee your family and friends will allow you enough time and space to keep up with the rat race.
My wife didn’t understand any of my dedication and passion. There I was trying to hone the skills of creating content for an on demand listener and she wanted to know why I didn’t find another radio station to drop my vocals over the latest in music.
Podcasting was first introduced in the latter part of the 1980’s and it’s still one of the biggest mysteries of the industry. Is it because those inside radio watched AM stereo and HD radio take the route of no listener interest? The good news is, listeners don’t have to purchase fancy radios to pick up the sounds nor do they have to wait for carmakers to redesign the dashboard of cars.
Conan O’Brien can’t enough of the digital stage because in his words it allows him to get closer to those that have brushed across his night show without ever truly getting to know them. You can hear the drive to be a leader in his voice whereas I felt nothing in the Ron Burgundy series. It doesn’t mean it was bad. I love Will Ferrell. I’d love to hear just him being himself. Like Chelsea Lately. She’s nailed the purpose and the plan.
So what’s the moral of the story? Podcasting is always going to be a toy. It’s inviting to every age group whether you’re rich or living off the street. It’s incredibly fun but it’s very time consuming and needs a lot of attention. When those numbers start rolling in and your listenership is motivating your drive to reach out there even further don’t spoil the moment and tell people it’s a hobby. The emotional connection you make with listeners isn’t a game. Fans and followers love to hear you sweat while having a good time on the net.
The moment you tell them that it’s not really what you want to be doing it’s like you cheated on their time. Remember it’s always their choice to find you then come back. Don’t be telling people you’re thinking about creating a podcast. That’s no different than someone walking up to me and forcing their vocals into a lower range trying to sound like a disc jockey.
If you’re gonna play. Play for real. Get muddy. Find failure and grow from it. Discover your voice. More importantly teach your path.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/18535004Fri, 12 Jul 2019 16:59:10 +0000Arroe CollinsPod-Crashing Episode 16: Know Why You Want To Do It Shaking hands with the future without getting a good look at who it is I’ve just met.

With so much attention being spent on delivering weekly episodes, podcasting has taken its first true step toward scheduled programming. Legendary talkers and performers might disagree saying they’ve been doing it for years. Which I won’t argue with until we bring in today’s newer shapes and shades of podcast listeners.
It’s not about leaping over to iTunes to lap up a few thoughts then spit out a reaction. Podcast episodes are found everywhere but does your chosen platform make it possible for new and old listeners to add you to their schedule?
Because I come from a 40 year radio career programming runs deep into my soul. I personally can’t stand uploading an episode and letting it sit there for a week. I program the platform like an over active network.
The idea first hit me in 2013 when I realized the platform (if used right) takes listeners automatically to the next episode then the next then the next. My time spent listening numbers were racing like wild cats. Only to learn that potential advertisers still had no clue how to utilize it for their marketing benefit. For the performer the idea of monetizing was beginning to unfold but the majority of us continued to struggle how we can get new age of listeners to meet us in the middle. If you aren’t getting paid for your episodes Howard Stern calls your podcast a hobby.
Programming my 15 different podcasts has taken years of chance taking. Which podcast could survive as a weekly feature versus daily uploading? The biggest numbers always show up when I post up to five new episodes a day. One listener wrote to me and said “You’re my daily newspaper. I listen to keep up with television, a little political news, the latest books, movies, music and whatever else someone has invented. It’s never the same day twice. The variety works.”
Unplugged and Totally Uncut, The Choice and View From The Writing Instrument survive quite well with constant change. The Lyrics From Billy’s Forest and this show Pod-Crashing cannot. I’m not trying to sell anything. The other podcasts feature actors, musicians, authors and creators that need to push a product. As the programmer of the podcast I make sure they don’t come across as info-mercials. We plant the seeds without having to pressure sell the listener. There’s never a call to action in any of the conversations.
Being the Production Director for iHeart Media kept me firmly locked in on coming up with newer ways to reach listeners. Sadly the podcast industry continues to operate its commercials the same old fashioned way. If they aren’t physically produced then it’s an endorsement. Most of the talent plug in their personality and try to come up with fun ways to be entertaining but whewww not everyone’s a comedian.
Commercials are still part of the programming. When and where do you place them is just as important as when do you post your podcasts? For many years I tried to offset the posts. To try and pull off a Ted Turner by freeing the episodes at five past the hour. A few months into the attempt I realized that podcast listeners are listening in real time. It’s during their time. That moment when they happen to show up and plug in.
Posting five new episodes a day on three of my fifteen podcasts is well thought out and programmed. Episodes on Unplugged and Totally Uncut start at 7am, 10, 1pm, 4 and 10. View from the Writing Instrument are 8am, 11, 5pm, 8 then 11. The Choice starts at 9am, 12 noon, 3, 6 then 9.
Why? Well obviously it must work. It brings in the numbers. I just started posting episodes on a different podcast at 2am and 5am. The numbers aren’t really there. I’ll keep trying but will probably begin leaning in on the open areas of daylight hours Eastern Time.
My most listened to hours are 4pm eastern to 3am, which is why I started landing new material on the other show at what seems to be odd times. The most important part about programming your podcast is that it’s there the moment the listener arrives. The reason why I don’t tune into favorite episodes is because iHeart Radio doesn’t keep my list available. It’s always changing so I forget who I’ve listened to and locate newer podcasts. Which in all honesty is great programming on their behalf. It puts other talented talkers in front of those who support the system.
So what’s the moral of the story? Programming your podcast sounds a little insane and could easily come across as a phobia. But! Reaching my first million wasn’t handed to me. Every listen was earned because I took the time to take chances while trying to utilize the wisdom learned while helping to design and maintain terrestrial radio. I come from an extremely programmed background and it’s had a very good payoff.
Programming episodes to show up every hour might be a little too much and yet the information and content shared isn’t a one break per day delivery. There’s a lot of things happening around us and when you tap into that vein it means you’ve got to keep up with the managers and press agents on a mission or step aside and let someone else do the job for you.
I get it! Podcasting is about creating a niche. That’s like going to a hockey game and they’re playing basketball. Do you stay or try and find the ice? When listeners catch onto your style and how it’s delivered they begin to show up and it’s up to you to bring forward a loyal relationship.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/18470000Fri, 05 Jul 2019 16:17:38 +0000Arroe CollinsEpisode 15: Posting Times With so much attention being spent on delivering weekly episodes, podcasting has taken its first true step toward scheduled programming.

The two most common are the sound perfectionists and those who bring the performance no matter how messy the background.
Podcasting’s totally rewritten the rules on what is or isn’t broadcast quality. I love it when Conan O’Brien sits in the back of an airplane and pulls off a lengthy conversation. The roar of the jet in the background makes me feel like I’m sitting in the seat next to them. Whereas I’m was sort of OK with Amy Schumer’s kitchen conversations with three others.
It’s me with the problem! I’m not fond of the vocal echoes caused by a lack of sound proofing. NPR has always been brilliant with taking listeners somewhere without having to pull back. They can afford the extremely expensive equipment to not only record the reports but clean them up in post-production.
Where I become a sound perfectionist is when the background becomes what I’m listening to and not the physical conversation. Someone’s eating, ruffling papers, moving their chairs or the guest on the show has had no training what so ever on how to properly speak through a microphone.
The very second you slip a pair headphones on a newbee the physical sound of their voice casts ugly clouds on their willingness to truly let go. If they aren’t using phone then they’ve got no idea what volume they’re at on the show or how many popped P’s are smacking my ears.
This is why business decision makers and fresh new listeners have to have an adjustment period. To learn how to accept this new age of we’re doing a show even it sounds like I’m taking a cold shower on a cold summer day.
I don’t know why it took me 7 years but two months ago I grew extremely tired of trying to clean up sputters and spins of conversation so I whipped the equipment into 100% left and right channel capability. I’m on the right side the guest is on the left. Whoever burps or says yeah way too much is easy taken out making the conversation warmer.
One of my shows is called Unplugged and Totally Uncut. I’m call bull on that! The editing that goes into the show is a hardcore disciplined project. Your identity as a podcaster is determined one show at a time. The day you bust open a can of this is what you get is when your biggest listening audience will somehow find you that day and seriously decide if the episode fits within their day.
There’ve been many times I’ve had to pause podcasts to figure out what I’m doing wrong as a listener because trying to fit my square head in their round hole was turning into a battle.
My very good friend Nathan used to spend hours cleaning up his podcasts. I’d listen to them and feel like it was too sterile. Real people talk have ums in them. We stammer and say the wrong words. I like the feeling of knowing as a listener that those doing the talking are one of us. Then again, I’ve been known to march into my own podcast production and re-ask a question because it didn’t sound right.
The podcasts I never return to are those that hit play and record and whatever happens happens. I get it. Life as life. But there comes a time in every conversation where someone asks, “Where are the restrooms?” Another words they’ve chosen to bail.
I was talking to a friend the other day about knowing the end result of the question you haven’t asked. I’m a show prep whore. I dig for the junk in someone’s trunk that you’re not going to find on Eddie Trunks show. Rather than ask questions. I make statements. I’m sure my guests hate me for it. I send out a sentence then sit back and wait for them to reply. Nobody likes dead air. I said it. Now react to it.
Remember, as the producer I get to go back in and clean up the chop shop. But let’s get back to that. Knowing the end result of the question you haven’t asked. I never take my mind off the listener. It’s a radio thing that program directors shove so far up your system of choice that when you’re out here on your own flying by the seat of your pants it’s like damn it they were right!
How do you know the end result of a question you haven’t asked? If you did your homework correctly the process of getting answers should be a conversation not an interview. Podcasts sound like podcasts because everybody’s trying to one up the other. Letting your guest slip into conversation mode is a huge score because it’s no longer about the podcast. Every bit of your journey through thoughts should now be based on what’s taking place in the conversation. Listeners are fed the insert question here approach to news talk radio.
I have pages of show prep material and rarely get through it. Today while talking with Rock and Pop legend Dave Clark about the remixing of a Freddie Mercury song we totally got engaged into what was being shared rather than being investigated. I hate being interviewed! I’m such a smart ass on so much stuff that any answer given would be me trying to get the interviewer to stop scratching the surface and get into the soul.
I got the idea for this episode from the podcast Inside Conan which features the behind the scenes people of the show. What it’s really like to be a writer, music director to physically designing Conan’s suits. One of the guests chuckled at the hosts and simply said, “So this is what it sounds like to be on a podcast.”
Outsiders have no clue what to expect and those of us who’ve weaved it into the only suit we wear have learned to muster up story about who what why when and how we do what we do as podcasters. How should a podcast sound is a question that may never locate an answer. This is a no rules world of talkers and thinkers setting free the right to be independent and happy, sad, politically incorrect, completely into themselves and whatever other shape is made available on a daily basis.
So what’s the moral of the story? It’s very simple. Look before and beyond the performance. It’s too easy for me to say that bad podcasting is making the rest of us look wanna be radio people that can’t land a job at iHeart, Entercom or Fat Willie’s Broadcasting Headquarters and Suites.
It’s extremely easy to turn this into a hobby only because for 40 years all things in my life broadcasting have been my hobby. Cleaning the house and mowing the lawn is a job and I bitch at the image in the mirror everyday about hating what he expects.
Pay close attention to the distractions. As listeners there’s only one of us out here. The power of one on one theater of the mind is extremely present and as podcasters we have the will and the way to give them good breaks or another reason to push them away. Know the end result of the question you haven’t asked. There’s a much better chance that you won’t sound like a podcast.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/18434529Mon, 01 Jul 2019 18:32:27 +0000Arroe CollinsEpisode 14: It Sounds Like A Podcast So many different types of people have dominated the presence of terrestrial radio.

Bill Burr was one of Conan O’Brian’s early guests on this newfangled thing called Podcasting. Conan was extremely interested in why Bill’s never put heavy duty focus on having guests on the show. Without a blink in the moment the reply was heard, “I don’t want to deal with people that call you up at the last minute asking to move the show to a different day.”
Oh, I’ve been on that airplane ride. It’s a dull ache of reality sitting in your stomach. The show prep and time required weren’t wasted. Your image has taken a hit. The billboards and social media posts promoting the talk make you feel like you failed the listener. I have a very special stack of papers to my left. It’s my notes that were never used. I’ve learned to quickly shake it off and say to myself, “At least I was ready. If they rebook I’ll be even more prepared.”
To help calm future storms I keep every guest my tiny little secret. Nobody outside this studio needs to know who I’ve booked until it’s been physically brought to life and properly edited.
As a broadcast instructor I’m upfront with tomorrows Podcasters, “Do not race to find a partner! You’re asking them to live on your time clock. You’ll forgive them the first time. That serves as a permission slip to do it again and again. So why start? It’s your show. They are a guest while there. If they don’t make it. No hard feelings. It’s your show.
Conan popped off a joke about doing solo shows calling Bill Burr a narcissist. I thought that was kind of odd. Chelsea Handler’s podcast features her head doctor and he’s always telling her she’s far from being narcissistic.
Maybe it’s the radio guy in me but when I host with no guests I’ve still got someone on the show. The listener! I’ve created a connection with them and steer every conversation toward their extreme importance. Although I can’t see the listener I believe in the greater possibility of them being there even if it’s only one person named Mom.
One more thought about giving love to listeners. If your show is blessed with a solid team of players how often in your conversations do you direct your thoughts toward the listener to keep them activated? Interactive thinking builds a stronger foundation. Listeners feel included. The goal is to invite them to follow. To spread your presence across their social media. A very valuable tool to have.
Let’s get back to booking guests. Not friends and family. Content driven doctors, authors, actors, musicians and carpenters holding onto the latest hammers. Another stigma podcasters face on a weekly basis is, “My client doesn’t do podcasting.”
Quickly laugh it off! There’s still a huge number of people that see this sport as a training camp for future performers on the radio tower. I used to get pissed when promotors shot that line at me. Then I woke up. You dork! They have a product to sell and podcasting isn’t necessarily the marketing campaign they need to put immediate dollars in their pocket.
I’ve changed my booking approach. Stop chasing. As Podcasters we lose a lot of creative time endlessly explaining who we are, what city we’re broadcasting in and is this for the morning show? The stigma shouldn’t make you stagnant. Keep fresh by putting yourself in front of those who get it. It’s growing faster than ever. Have patients and stop chasing. You’ve got something they need. Reach!
I could go on all day about the pitfalls and bad smells associated with this incredible way to share content. A stigma that seems to be on the rise right now and I totally blame it on Netflix, Amazon and Hulu is a podcasting season. Creating only a certain amount of shows. Get listeners to binge listen. Then hope to God they rediscover you when you pop your turtle head out of that shell somewhere down the road.
I brought this very subject up with Jody and David from the Somebody Somewhere podcast. Their current series puts its entire self into the criminal investigation of a Seattle murder scene that left two homeless people dead. It took them a year to pull everything together. It’s their second season feature. I’m not afraid to ask questions, “How you gonna get listeners back for season three?” David laughed out loud and courageously said “That’s the million dollar question.”
I’ve noticed that iHeart Radio does a lot of podcast promoting. In fact Conan endorsed one. Cross pollenating would be an incredible way to not only support those braving the winter storm but it would warmly unite listeners in other places of healthy content. Almost like what iHeart does with their music format. We know you like the Eagles and believe you’ll enjoy Chris Stapleton as well.
I think we’re pretty far from podcasters coughing up a little space to talk about others. The stigma is it’s the rebirth of the Wild West and there aren’t enough sheriffs to enforce a little love. That’s another stigma! People latch onto podcasting because of the no rules approach to getting to listeners. It used to be that way at Netflix. Look at what they did in 2018. They mowed down and totally took out a lot of original early day play and replaced it with a guaranteed return to their investment.
So what’s the moral to this story? It’s pretty simple in all things broadcasting and podcasting there’s always going to be a stigma. Creative people and the freedom to do it anytime anywhere means there’s not enough toilet paper in the world to keep everything tidy and fresh smellen. Get used to the idea that podcasting seems large and in charge for those who live it and breathe it. Outsiders may never get why millions of us are giving our lives away with no pay.
I grew up in Montana and Wyoming and no matter what time of year it was the farmyard always smelled like fresh donkey butt. You’re never gonna get used to the idea that bookers and promoters see only the big names on the dial or podcasting. Hit them up with something I did in 2013, “I realize I can’t get Jay Z or Beyonce but somewhere on that list of yours is a total nobody that could use a little practice with their interview skills. Let me be that platform.
Redd out of Detroit was one such musician. I’ve never said no to the kid. He’s on a huge tour this summer. Randy Bachman wasn’t always the main attraction. He worked those radio stations and continues to support the industry that brought him to the stage.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/18340854Fri, 21 Jun 2019 20:27:58 +0000Arroe CollinsEpisode 13: Podcast Stigmas Bill Burr was one of Conan O’Brian’s early guests on this newfangled thing called Podcasting.

Bill Burr was one of Conan O’Brian’s early guests on this newfangled thing called Podcasting. Conan was extremely interested in why Bill’s never put heavy duty focus on having guests on the show. Without a blink in the moment the reply was heard, “I don’t want to deal with people that call you up at the last minute asking to move the show to a different day.”
Oh, I’ve been on that airplane ride. It’s a dull ache of reality sitting in your stomach. The show prep and time required weren’t wasted. Your image has taken a hit. The billboards and social media posts promoting the talk make you feel like you failed the listener. I have a very special stack of papers to my left. It’s my notes that were never used. I’ve learned to quickly shake it off and say to myself, “At least I was ready. If they rebook I’ll be even more prepared.”
To help calm future storms I keep every guest my tiny little secret. Nobody outside this studio needs to know who I’ve booked until it’s been physically brought to life and properly edited.
As a broadcast instructor I’m upfront with tomorrows Podcasters, “Do not race to find a partner! You’re asking them to live on your time clock. You’ll forgive them the first time. That serves as a permission slip to do it again and again. So why start? It’s your show. They are a guest while there. If they don’t make it. No hard feelings. It’s your show.
Conan popped off a joke about doing solo shows calling Bill Burr a narcissist. I thought that was kind of odd. Chelsea Handler’s podcast features her head doctor and he’s always telling her she’s far from being narcissistic.
Maybe it’s the radio guy in me but when I host with no guests I’ve still got someone on the show. The listener! I’ve created a connection with them and steer every conversation toward their extreme importance. Although I can’t see the listener I believe in the greater possibility of them being there even if it’s only one person named Mom.
One more thought about giving love to listeners. If your show is blessed with a solid team of players how often in your conversations do you direct your thoughts toward the listener to keep them activated? Interactive thinking builds a stronger foundation. Listeners feel included. The goal is to invite them to follow. To spread your presence across their social media. A very valuable tool to have.

You know what’s fun about doing this Pod-Crashing thing? It’s about being real. Having a generic attitude of community rather than burying yourself inside the four walls of a major conglomeration trying to dominate a ratings war.
I’ve been there. Oh the stress. The endless amount of meetings that normally went nowhere except to agree to meeting again next week. It was never my career. It was their music, liner cards and listener giveaways. In reality I’m shocked they didn’t ask me to bring back every radio station t-shirt, jacket or cap.
Keep in mind it wasn’t my radio career. The only thing I owned was the choice to stay.
I’m gonna be upfront and honest. I didn’t get into podcasting because there was this huge bolt of lightning shot through space. I was in that place where the broadcasting business didn’t know what they hell to do with me. I quit market hopping which meant the scent of my performance was making me come across as that old guy that’ll probably die with the ship.
Coming off the air to do imaging and commercial production was a stinger. You think you’ve got the strength to maintain a healthy lifestyle cuz it’s all connected but wow that’s like telling Paul McCartney he’s got a new job on the road. The roadie.
I fell into the podcasting hole by total accident. I happen to be walking down and hall and heard someone talking to the morning show, “You guys need to look at putting your best of shows up on the internet. New technology puts you on the listener’s smart phone. Listening on demand.”
My lost dreams suddenly shot to life. WTF? The morning show wanted nothing to do with it. My radio driven soul wanted to Rock n Roll. Then Bob Pitman of iHeart Media mentioned in a meeting that podcasting was a brave new beginning that required real radio people to bring its quality to the game.
Oh my God I was on my way! Yeah right. I had no clue what I was doing! More importantly what could I write, produce and perform all in the name of being attractive to global ears? I’ve always been addicted to being original. So original that it earned me a radio freak label. He’s too weird, too wild, un-coachable.
I just knew it was a performance. The question I faced in 2013 is no different today. What am I going to do that isn’t already being done?
I’m the exact opposite of Randy Bachman’s quote, “You only see my hits not my misses.”
In this stage of the podcast game there’ve been so many swings at the plate that I’ve taken on the image of a drone. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Thank God I’ve got a big fat ego. It’s the only thing keeping me grounded.
Let me ask the question again, “What Makes You Original On The Over Saturated Stage?”
I don’t do sports. TMZ has tired the world out with gossip. Music updates are ok but not unique enough for this wild new digital frontier. I know! I’ll do interviews! I’ll talk with anyone that says yes. What I needed was practice. Podcast listeners make a huge choice to somehow someway find their way onto your platform. The goal is to get them to keep coming back.
For that to happen those content consuming junkies need a relationship with a payoff. It was time for me to become them. How could I build a bigger better show if I wasn’t wearing the same shoes? It was time to drop tower radio listening and hook up the blue tooth!
I know what I like and I know what I’ll never return to. Digital on Demand has turned me into a spoiled snot. Give me what I want! I need my fix. Honestly the cool thing about being a podcast listener is the variety of choice. It doesn’t bother me to see there are 8 billion movie review channels. Toss in another 12 zillion medical and murder mystery adventures. There’s so much out there that I feel like the space shuttle busting tail through all those stars.
What Makes You Original On The Over Saturated Stage?
Exactly that! Keep searching. Bust open a can of overworked with no pay and play the game like it’s your last day on the planet. Warning. I know you like certain things in life and love to share the journey but don’t back into a stereotyped image. Let me give you an example. I jocked on a few Adult Contemporary radio stations from 1985 to 2012. The Classic Rock and New Rock stations wouldn’t give me an on-air shift because my name was connected to Michael Bolton, Rod Stewart and Phil Collins.
With podcasting what makes you an original will be your original way of bringing a ton of content to life. Study the path that Mike Rowe has taken. The dude has his hands in everything.
So what’s the moral of the story? The only person that can invite originality to your podcast is you and it’s probably not going to come in the shape of what we already do. Through wide open space practicing and commitment combined with loyalty you’ll find your voice. It’s not going to happen overnight.
Never stop testing the waters. Create several different podcast platforms and cross-pollinate. Through show prep and careful planning one single interview can be featured on several different shows. Every time I talk with YouTube sensation JoJo Siwa our conversations go to my Kids show, music as well as writing. If she’s marketing something or talks about food those shows get the upload as well.
It’s no different than Taylor Swift hitting every music format. Your podcast can do it too!]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/18272095Fri, 14 Jun 2019 15:26:35 +0000Arroe CollinsEpisode 12: What Makes You Original On The Over Saturated Stage?

With iHeart Radio claiming to have 250,000 podcasts and Spotify announcing they want to be the Netflix of podcasting. The one time hidden away not always talked about rap sessions are quickly becoming a global fashion.
When you talk to those labeled pioneers, they’ll tell you that even I was amazingly late getting into the groove. That was 2012. Back when the decision makers in radio knew I was up to something in the production room but they couldn’t figure out how to sink their money loving fingers into it.
Seven years deep into podcasting and I still feel this new age of generating content hasn’t budged from the core of my creative womb. It’s still an infant with no real date set for delivery.
To be a great podcaster I think you have to do what authors do. Participate with the process. Authors have read and continue to read a lot of other people’s work. Podcasting should not be different. You should be digesting two to three shows a day. All from different talent.
There’s a ton of one on one conversation podcasts. Two to five yackers cackling up a storm like the battered and tattered old hen house on the farm. I’m not knocking it! It just seems to be the go to sport of the moment. To layout your openness without having to write a blog.
When will the newness of this podcast style wear off? Actors, comedians, bankers and whomever else are locked in on asking everybody in the room a bunch of questions.
Here’s why I feel it’s not the typical and why it may get old much quicker than anticipated. In the real world without a microphone and recording device, when you’re with friends and family, are you sittin around talking about taking drugs, masturbating, massively hating your job, openly discussing your failures while wishfully thinking about having fantasy sex with dot dot dot?
I know that’s going overboard and looks like an object that crosses the line. Let me remind you that this is podcasting and it seems like everybody’s on this kick to be extremely open about their lives knowing they’d never be that way unless they’re on the show.
Sports shows are posted with last night’s scores. I love the emotion but in two days all of that work will be wasted space. It’s like a pizza that sat out all weekend. The stories are dried up and nobody’s red hot on the idea of devouring what you served.
I do enjoy actors talking to actors. Always bringing up how they’ve been friends for years. Hmm if it were anyone else, you know like a no name, they’d barely have a following because two friends chumming it up gets a little too inside.
An old radio term that still works. Don’t go too inside. It causes a disconnection.
The newness of that kind of podcasting might wear out the newby listeners that checked in cuz someone hit the share button.
Every How To Podcast book and website says to get a guest. It makes the show interesting. Let me ask one question. Is it a guest if you already know each other’s dirty little secrets? Bantering works when the content gets the listener mentally involved.
What I do find funny is how Conan O’Brian and Dax Shepard endlessly invite guests to the microphone who are completely clueless as to what podcasting is. That tells me that we’ve got years of discovery still ahead. Both guys are supremely talented with the gift to gab and know when it’s time to get off the subject.
Then again they both have real producers and we don’t know what ends up on the cutting room floor. You should see how much I yank off the podcast before its broadcast. During the conversation I’ll bring boring stuff up that gets the guest more involved. I hear it in their voice. Then I’m off again. Jotting down notes to remind myself later to edit edit edit.
I’d love to hear Chelsea Handler do her podcast without people in the room. The girl is so brilliantly gifted that she could get a huge new audience based on the fact that she’s speaking directly to them.
Michael Rappaport is doing his podcast on a paid site. As much as I love his chance taking extremely too loud attitude, I’ve got to get a least six to ten shows in me before I decide if it’s worth the investment.
Paying for podcasting will get real old to many people because it seems television with all of its apps are starting to dig into the wallet as well. Nickle and diming your fans and followers better have an everyday payoff or the tune out will be an explosion of destruction that looks more like AM stereo and HD Radio.
Both of those truly sounded pretty good but the consumer didn’t buy into it.
So what’s the moral of the story? It’s pretty simple. There’s a lot of talking going on but it’s all starting to sound the same. A bunch of chumming around with no real TMZ nastiness. Have several ideas in mind when you bring the second and third voices in. Show prep is a brilliant tool.
I learned that trick when legendary Rocker Leslie West called me out in the middle of a conversation. He knew I was winging it. To this day I wish he would’ve hung on me. The impact was big on my heart but it needed to an all-out get out of my face action. It kinda told my listeners that I didn’t truly care about the time they were putting in by being there. Changed me forever.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/18202824Sat, 08 Jun 2019 05:00:16 +0000Arroe CollinsEpisode 11: When Will The Newness Wear Off?

I find myself laughing at how sterilized radio and television people continue to be inside this world of reality this and Big Brother that. Incredibly entertaining was Game of Thrones getting busted twice this season for not properly clearing the set of modern day water bottles and more. Some have said that was done on purpose because when the masters of the craft make mistakes a lot of free press pushes a show forward.
There are several different shapes and shades of Podcaster’s. Those that take it too serious versus the casual conversationalist that doesn’t mind keeping the studio door open to allow the atmosphere of the moment to pass through the microphone.
In a recent conversation with Conan O’Brian comedian Mark Maron coached the late night host on how to relax and let the show happen. He has no problem inviting the sounds of real life to his mind blowingly successful show. He says the greatest shows are those that you can build.
I totally agree. I’m convinced that Podcast listeners don’t mind being taken somewhere. NPR has been doing it for how many decades? Hell I’ll go hangout at the patio at Panera Bread and do four to seven interviews with garbage trucks marching by. I love the gentle roar of someone else’s conversation in the background.
I did an episode with Dennis Quaid at Panera. He was handwashing dishes while I was stretched out across that hardcore metal table.
I’ve hosted conversations while sitting in the lobby of several different movie theaters. I always want to be ready for any call. Before checking into a movie premiere I’ll be laughing up a storm with Pat Benatar’s husband. I’ve been know to pull of some pretty awesome shows while driving from town to town. Pop the recorder on and start digging in.
Producers on the other side aren’t always warm to the idea of having sound in the background. My response has been gentle and caring. I just say, “Your side of the answers meeting the questions is all out perfect while my side can always been re-recorded in the studio.
Everything I do is left and right handed. Actors, musicians, authors and others are always in the left ear and there I am in the right. At production time I have full control of each side which is a heck of a lot better than dumping the recyclables with the other trash. Only to be forced to separate it on pickup day.
I first got hooked up with this plan and purpose while doing an interview with Yoko Ono. She was calling in at 12 noon. I was to be in my hotel room in Raleigh, NC at the time. I totally screwed up on the journey up there and 2 hours into the drive I had to rush back home to Charlotte. The talk with Yoko totally went off on time. Me sitting in my driveway just talking away about life with John and all things connected to her art shows.
This sort of thinking opens your heart and imagination to reach way way out of the box. Don’t wait for your guest to come to the sterilized studio, take your equipment to them and paint that background like no sound effects library can.
KISS Alive 1 was a huge hit because it was a real crowd whereas Elton John’s Bennie and The Jets was made up to sound live. Be real with the sound and be real to your listeners. Let them know up front where you are. Then get on with the episode because listeners only have so long before they begin to tune out.
If you’ve got to live the perfect life and need all things crystal clear and squeaky clean. You can still take a portable studio outside the normal joint. The front seat of your car is the best soundproof on the planet. One issue and it’s very important to keep in mind. Air conditioning and heater sounds can almost sound like blowing wind into your microphone.
What’s the more of the story? Have fun while keeping a firm grip on quality. You can be anywhere you want to be and bring the atmosphere of the moment to life but be aware of what too much sound can do. Make sure you’ve got great microphones. We’ve come a long way. Adweek has labeled Podcasters the new influencers.
Keep up the good fight.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/18115370Thu, 30 May 2019 07:00:20 +0000Arroe CollinsEpisode Nine: How Real Is Too Real?

At production time I have full control of each side which is a heck of a lot better than dumping the recyclables with the other trash. Only to be forced to separate it on pickup day.
I first got hooked up with this plan and purpose while doing an interview with Yoko Ono. She was calling in at 12 noon. I was to be in my hotel room in Raleigh, NC at the time. I totally screwed up on the journey up there and 2 hours into the drive I had to rush back home to Charlotte. The talk with Yoko totally went off on time. Me sitting in my driveway just talking away about life with John and all things connected to her art shows.
This sort of thinking opens your heart and imagination to reach way way out of the box. Don’t wait for your guest to come to the sterilized studio, take your equipment to them and paint that background like no sound effects library can.
KISS Alive 1 was a huge hit because it was a real crowd whereas Elton John’s Bennie and The Jets was made up to sound live. Be real with the sound and be real to your listeners. Let them know up front where you are. Then get on with the episode because listeners only have so long before they begin to tune out.
If you’ve got to live the perfect life and need all things crystal clear and squeaky clean. You can still take a portable studio outside the normal joint. The front seat of your car is the best soundproof on the planet. One issue and it’s very important to keep in mind. Air conditioning and heater sounds can almost sound like blowing wind into your microphone.
What’s the more of the story? Have fun while keeping a firm grip on quality. You can be anywhere you want to be and bring the atmosphere...]]>244createabetterpodcast,creatingapodcast,doingapodcast,howdoyoudoapodcast,podcastingthenewinfluencesfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/pod-crashing-episode-9-does-anybody-know-what-time-it-is--18043846
No matter how focused you feel as a writer, voice over talent, radio personality or every day average Joe, is there such a thing as Time within the scattered limits of a podcast?
Time is a huge subject. In more ways than one! The time it takes to prep a show, to the time the PR department demands as to when the show will hit the air.
What about the time required for post-production? Social networking time and the amazing amount of time you spend telling yourself how much this all sucks because the payoff isn’t coming quick enough. I mean you always have to make time for that!
I really don’t want to get into how long an episode should run? I’ve shattered some pretty good friendships over this very subject. Nobody’s ever right. It just feels good to win a peeing contest.
During my early podcast years, the personal battles I even picked with myself were based solely on not my time but how much time was a wandering listener willing to give up just to hear something that fell off my truck?
I became addicted to shorter shows because I wanted bigger analytic numbers. Like songs played on the radio, if you liked what you just heard you’d stick around for another one. Then another and another. I figured if you did an hour long show you get one bonk. Four fifteen minute shows four bonks.
I’ve spent way too much time studying those numbers and does anyone outside of our ego care about downloads and plays?
It would be awesome if the makers of documented listening came up with a way that shows how many times we put a podcast on hold then came back to it. For instance, it takes me pretty much all day to get through Conan O’Brians podcast.
I don’t have the time to sit and listen to the entire process. I feel guilty about the pausing because no matter how many times I return to the episode he’s still only getting one bonk.
Probably one of the most misunderstood sides of time is when the PR departments controlling the flow of your guests want to know what time will the conversation air? To add fuel to the fire in what city will it air?
I literally burst out in laughter when they ask both questions. Podcasting isn’t about a daypart. And the mere mention of what city will it be airing means they’ve not bathed in the luxury of on demand listening. It’s a lifestyle.
I program the episodes of my shows. It’s my sick old fashioned radio self-trying to super serve the listener. If you liked that interview maybe you’ll like this one and this one. Programming takes time. You’ve got to have flow. A book author can’t go into another book author. Don’t put a major medical breakthrough at the Mayo clinic next to ZZ Top. Buzz kill podcasting.
I’m blessed with the opportunity to talk with a lot of people about a lot of things. The secret to a winning conversation? Don’t ever think you’re the expert. Always be the consumer. You’ve got questions and the podcast listeners are vicariously living through your moment of now.
I had a PR person tell me, “I don’t care if you don’t drink wine. I’d rather listen to the questions of a novice then someone trying to dominate my author over whether it’s proper to put ice in with the juice.”
Hey I’ve talked with CIA agents to Dr. Drew. Kidz Bop to family members trying to keep their famous parents name alive and growing forward. To do all of this takes time. Time I shouldn’t have but somehow the hands on the clock have opened and allowed me to grow on a platform that’s been around since the 80’s but it’s just coming into the forefront of what listeners need. It’s called consuming content.
So what’s the moral of the story? It’s pretty simple. No matter how many days or years you’ve been doing interviews always take really good care of the PR people. The more PR connections you have the greater the experience. It just takes time to build up those relationships.
If you aren’t putting time into every episode of your podcast you’re not going to be called out. Listeners just won’t tune in. Time management is essential. Be a disciplined entertainer. Again that takes time. It’s not going to happen overnight.
iHeart Media is bragging about having over 250,000 podcasts on their platform. Take the time to know what you’re reaching for then create the greater show. There are way too many people in this universe of conversation. Taking the time to fine tune your instrument will help shape a more visible path.

Seems pretty easy right. Latch onto a USB microphone or four. Hook it up to lap top. Tap into Adobe Audition, Garage Band or utilize the free recording systems on Anchor.fm and Spreaker. Invite the friends over and start talking.
Yeah, that’s pretty much how a lot of podcasts start. Seems like a pretty fun hobby. Almost like turning your Saturday nights into B Movie Nights or breaking out board games. Just something fun to do and the rest of the world gets to jump in.
During these two week lectures. Those who’ve chosen to attend aren’t fresh faces. We’ve pretty much hung out for five weeks. I know their walk before they take the first step.
Most of them are burning and itching at the idea of being a podcast host that features several different players. I laugh with them and worry a lot when they’re not around. I podcast to win. It’s still a toy to them. A fragile toy that usually ends up broken on their street of dreams.
Several weeks after the lecture I bump into most of them in the real world. They playing field has changed at this point. I’m not the instructor. I’m the Broadcaster. A totally different game is played. I’m paid to lecture. Not so true when bumped into. I waste no time cutting through podcast reality.
They wanna know why they lost interest. They’re hurt, bent out of shape, angry at themselves and feel like someone fibbed on their visions and hopes. It all seemed so easy.
The one thing you can’t do is go into podcasting thinking like a podcaster. Reaching 40 years in radio didn’t happen because I only did the work when I was in the mood. I battled the storms. I reinvented the paths of choice. I reached out endlessly to those that inspired me. I practiced everyday then and even now.
I’ve come up with ten reasons why most people drop the ball and quit podcasting.
1. Too much hard work with no pay
2. Lack of listener numbers. Not growing fast enough
3. Post production laziness
4. Partners on the show quit showing up
5. Lack of uniqueness
6. Constantly changing the show
7. No promotional knowledge
8. Difficult to book top notch guests
9. No new ideas for each episode
10. Too hard on yourself
The moral of the story is simple. My entire life every Tom, Dick and Harry has said that being on the radio looks like a fun and they’d do anything to be part of it. Just like anything else it’s a job!
Podcasting is a job! It becomes a huge heavy weight chore when you’re no longer in the mental state to give give give to those chiming in. It’s called consuming content. Listeners love great information but the makers of the podcast moment can’t keep up with the demand.
You’ll never catch me telling you that you can’t do a podcast. I will though question your dedication, loyalty, determination and respect for podcast listeners. That head and heart of yours are full of bright new ideas that require a lot of attention. In no time your creative energy will be locked up and empty!

The more popular podcasting gets and the more money that’s generated ownership of the show or shows is going to become a bigger issue. Not only on the digital server circuit but radio and television companies that are enforcing talent to begin a journey through this ever changing atmosphere of free talk.
Which should be a serious eye opener for the talent. All of that planning, performing, producing and promoting looks good on the site but look deeper into the plan you signed with Spreaker, Soundcloud, iTunes, Anchor.fm, Podomatic and others.
Each time you upload an episode you’re pretty much giving your art away. They can use it any way they want. Which includes attaching commercials to beef up their revenue. They have the final say as to who gets to play game and who’s forfeiting the team jersey because all that was agreed upon was broken.
It happened to me with Soundcloud. I have conversations with musicians all day. Rather than upload dry vocals, the goal was to create full shows that feature song hooks. Three to seven seconds. Soundcloud took the show down. Although I was interviewing the artists that created the music. In their eyes and ears I was breaking copyright laws. The mission was to generate a connection with listeners who’d buy the music. Because my email address had changed I wasn’t getting their warnings therefore they assumed I was ignoring them. Gone! I’ve tried to reach out numerous times to plead my case and to this day nobody from Soundcloud has returned an email or physical call.
Look at the small print Podcasters! They’re trying to be fair to the artists and other creative people.
Does this mean they own your show? They own the data space you’re using up. You’re on their playground which means they can take the ball and tell you to go home.
Ownership of the podcast has turned me into a monster. It’s no different than Metallica dropping tracks for a new album and by the time they get home it’s already on the internet. Sadly though we’ve evolved into this era of all things belong to everyone.
Which is why I strongly suggest that you locate as many digital outlets to post your shows. Don’t just shoot for the big ones like iHeart, Spotify and Pandora. Plant those vocal vibes on every page you can find and don’t get pissed off is someone doesn’t ask for permission to post your creations.
Your one and only job is to get those numbers up. To push your show into the deep end of the pool. I’d say the only thing you truly own is the choice to do another episode.
If you stop showing up. So will your followers.
It wouldn’t surprise me if the giants of podcasting don’t one day soon pull of what Netflix recently did with a huge list of their original shows. If you don’t have the numbers and or interest to get better not on my time or dime.
Another type of ownership issue that could very easily ruff up some feathers is between the radio and television talent with their parent companies. If you’re voicing and producing your podcast within their four walls and it’s being posted to their pages. That pretty much says it belongs to them. If there’s a break up in the marriage they can keep the name and you’ve got to start over again.
Pay close attention to your station contract. If it’s not already happening, I’m sure we’re within inches of GM’s and PD’s telling the talent that their daily expectations include a fully produced podcast and we’re not talking a best of show.
iHeart Radio has posted in big bright letters how they’re the number one place for podcasts. When I started doing mine in 2012 inside their beautiful studios such behavior was looked upon as being an object we can’t explain don’t let it get in the way of your real job. Bob Pitman and company have done a fine job lifting the level of the podcast performance.
But who owns Will Ferrell’s podcast show? What about Chelsea Handler? As entertainers, creators, messengers and providers we’re gonna have to pay close attention to this ever changing platform. That wide open space once free of big business and decision makers is quickly shaping a new frontier and with it comes rules and consultants that could very easily start controlling how you deliver your word. If you don’t like their approach? It’s their platform.
The moral of today’s story is simple… Go into every episode knowing once you put it up, it belongs to world. My download numbers are totally rocking it. One side of my ego is digging the attention while the other side is injured cuz everybody’s getting it free.
Remember. When it comes to ownership. The only thing you control is the decision to do another episode.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/17888530Fri, 10 May 2019 09:45:58 +0000Arroe CollinsWho Owns Your Podcast?

The first few shows everybody’s checking out your brand new vibe. The analytics are popping which makes you feel great about you create.
By the time you get the gang back together for show number 8, someone’s got a new reason to spoil the season. They can’t make it because they aren’t feeling it to man I can’t get a babysitter.
Which I can’t help but believe is the reason why multiple podcasters set aside a Saturday or Tuesday night at 6pm to throw down several shows.
I’m not saying it’s wrong. I just know that listening habits can pick up on the tiring of vocals and the lack of fresh ideas. Especially if you’ve hooked yourself up to a 30 to 60 minute show.
Nothing creatively injures a podcaster more than those annoying days after you think you killed it but the numbers aren’t proving it.
So how do you get past The Unlucky Seven Dark Spot?
If you’ve teamed up with others to make your magic work and they decide to be no show, let them know how much it put a dent in your dedication.
Here’s a better idea. Whoever is the ruler of the kingdom it’s your show. Those that post a no show are only guests. Howard Stern always reminds his team of dedication whack packers and producer of whose name is on the show.
I get it. Life gets in the way. But don’t let the The Unlucky Seven Dark Spot… suck the wind out of your sails.
Even when you aren’t in the mood to spin your wheels on a fresh set of recording tracks. Get into that studio and lay out a map. Don’t wing it man. Leave that for the Wing Shack with their 8,000 different flavors.
I do kind of chuckle when other podcasters reach out to me to brag about how they’ve finally made it to 10 shows. Look, I love you for the endless supply of dreaming while supplying listeners with the unique behavior of the voice.
Podcasting to me is no different than being the chosen voice over talent to read and authors book. The phone call rocks your planet. Page one is still a rush. Then you realize the book is 235 pages in length. You can’t stop. You’ll lose the money.
Oh speaking of that. Money. That five letter word has a huge push on knocking your creative butt off the podcasting path. A ton of wasted energy and no sponsors again today. That dull ache of never getting lost time back eats away at your every attempt to do a great show.
So… You try a new idea. Oh look! Your podcast can be heard on iHeart Radio, Spotify and iTunes! 2nd level motivation is a party animal in a box. You feel like you’re more famous than Mario Lopez. ESPN who?
What you don’t realize is now you’ve hot even a bigger problem. You took your podcast to a biggest platform and they need your content to put their sponsors on. If you aren’t delivering what happens next? You’re taking up valuable space on their expression of art.
I guess the moral of the story is to be ready to sink your teeth into a bison sized burger and expect to swallow wind.
Not a negative! Be aware of what to expect with high hopes that those who’ve been living this past for years and thousands of shows have the willingness to lean into your game and say, “Winning is a choice.”
Podcasts that I’ve put on my daily diet include Tony Robbins who does a huge job on interviewing his famous guests in a truly heart felt motivational way. I’m also digging Conan O’Brien who has honestly had a blast poking fun at the idea of inviting people over to the studio all in the name of wanting to be his friend.
Trust me, the two of them are using the digital platform to sell their material.
Maybe that’s what you’re missing from your show. Sell something. Make it sound larger than life! That’s what Wolfman Jack did on that monster of an AM station in Mexico. He was always selling something!

What you don’t realize is now you’ve hot even a bigger problem. You took your podcast to a biggest platform and they need your content to put their sponsors on. If you aren’t delivering what happens next? You’re taking up valuable space on their expression of art.
I guess the moral of the story is to be ready to sink your teeth into a bison sized burger and expect to swallow wind.
Not a negative! Be aware of what to expect with high hopes that those who’ve been living this past for years and thousands of shows have the willingness to lean into your game and say, “Winning is a choice.”
Podcasts that I’ve put on my daily diet include Tony Robbins who does a huge job on interviewing his famous guests in a truly heart felt motivational way. I’m also digging Conan O’Brien who has honestly had a blast poking fun at the idea of inviting people over to the studio all in the name of wanting to be his friend.
Trust me, the two of them are using the digital platform to sell their material.
Maybe that’s what you’re missing from your show. Sell something. Make it sound larger than life!

Yeah, I said it. Radio and television are connected to ratings and those making the decisions and or consulting do all they can to keep the line of content communication focused what the company supports and delivers.
Right now we’re seeing the largest number of Democrats announcing their candidacy for the highest position on the planet. The best way to get the word out will be through the power of podcasting. There are no program directors, news directors or CEO’s laying claim to how this reporter didn’t fit the image they’re trying to project to the viewing and listening audience.
Even bigger… Those hosting podcast shows want to talk to candidates and will give them ample time and space without charging a dime for air time. As of now there are no equal amount time rules for the vote chasers. Podcasters can pick one team and stick to it like gum on a shoe without ever sharing the same digital delivery with the challenger.
Embrace it people! Radio and television will be bogged down with 30 and 60 commercials of every side causing a disconnection with people sick of hearing the mudslinging. In the world of podcasting you’ll have to power of choice. Yes I want to hear this person’s journey through politics or hell no we aren’t touching that wild monster on Capitol Hill.
As a Podcaster I’ll say yes to every Tom, Dick or Harry running for public office. I feel it’s my job to get the entire story or someone will write it for them.
Podcaster’s have the opportunity to truly educate the community and or poison it. Just remember, during these modern times of political silence the appearance of any candidates name on your podcast list can instantly turn your show into a moment of judging a book by its cover.
Been there done that a few thousand times. Content is a beautiful thing especially when it brings a fresh approach to variety. A good idea might be to create a completely different podcast with the politics headed this way. I have many different shows because it separates subjects. I’d never put Hobby Discovery interview on a podcast show that’s focused on Hollywood actors and movies.
The listener bee bops by and it’s like what? Why would my entertainment to the world connection be hooked up with a boat building show?
A good example is you’re a hardcore sports announcer that knows the game and can pull off any sports replay like it was yesterday. On your sports podcast something appears on the show about a political candidate that’s not too hot in the numbers but you’re just trying to push them out there a bit. You take the hit. Suddenly the really good sports guy is wearing a different hat.
Rock stars appear on my show View From The Writing Instrument because they write music. Chef also appear on the show because they come with cookbooks. A NASCAR driver promoting Home Depot won’t get the time on the show. That means I still won’t talk to the dude that keeps taking left hand turns. Content wins!
The moral of this week’s story is to participate with what’s about to walk through that door in the podcast world. Politicians! You’ll always have the choice to pick which ones get airtime. You are the President and CEO of ME Inc.
Don’t be shocked if the groups that are against certain candidates don’t reach out as well. You’ll need to have true leadership in who gets into your area of delivery. If your choice is to support one side and from your lips come words that go up against the other side, expect them to call out your name and identity.
Be nice to all podcasters. Don’t be slinging things at other hosts doing what they’ve been blessed to share. Grab the content and watch your numbers increase or decrease.
Everybody has something to sell. Get to their mission quickly then get back on your winning path. Never forget it’s always your podcast show. If the guest tries to dominate the conversation reach over and shut off the microphone. Wish them good luck.

When it comes to podcasting, everybody has their point of direction. I get that lets not rip down the house we’re trying to build by throwing people under the bus.
The best way to get into a professional wrestling cage match without joining the WWE is to walk up to another Podcaster and tell them what they’re doing wrong.
There are no written rules. Amy Schumer sounds like her podcast is recorded in a kitchen, Will Farrells Ron Burgandy is so dry and pointless at times that it’s actually quite funny and unforgettable.
Everywhere I travel I have my recording equipment with me. When I attend movie premieres to hosting lectures, every chance you get is a reason to record incredible content.
Well get into the portable studio on different show.
For the longest time I wanted to host a show that served the community like movie critics and reviewers.
The more I thought about it the harder it became for me to grow a pair of balls to tell someone to raise the bar on quality.
How can I say that? There are podcasts planted every day whose sound is far worse than taking an old fashioned cassette deck to a construction site to record interviews or birds farting. And the owner of the show pulls in over 25,000 and more hits and downloads.
In this moment of fads and the freedom to be who you want to be wherever you want to bring it to life- podcasting is the sport that boys and girls 6 to 90 years old are choosing to do.
We should be spending more time helping them by not criticizing their efforts. Offering support by liking or sharing the show begins a building process. Once they realize that you are a regular to the show. Use the moment to suggest a new idea.
Hey I like it when you guys do this… would love to hear your side of this view.
Podcasting a beast. It’s time consuming and turns you into an analytics addict. People Google newer ways to strengthen product. Chances are taken while more perfectionists drop off the podcast map.
There is no magical number you have to reach when it comes to how many episodes a single show has. My Unplugged and Totally Uncut show presently has 9,059 episodes.
Six years of determined dedication to be on that microphone at 5:30 every morning.
Which is why I get so easily offended when from out of nowhere another podcaster says I’m doing it all wrong.
Doing what wrong? I wouldn’t even listen to Joe Rogen if he offered a suggestion. Not unless he’s willing to jot down a couple of my experiences.
This is what the feature is about. The community needs to be stronger.
Yeah I know there are conventions and iHeart Radio just hosted the first ever Podcast awards.
The irony of that? Those who won the awards and get to go to the conventions can afford it. Its radio companies trying to capitalize on monetizing a new level of listening habits. The majority of today’s podcasters are making two cents with those add on commercials that came with 800 pages you had to read in order to earn a few bucks just being yourself.
Let’s wrap this up. Quit telling people they’re doing their podcasts wrong. Not unless you’re gonna jump onto their pirate ship and help them fire the cannons and drink the whiskey.

There’s a lot to be said about listening to a conversation that isn’t connected to facial features. I get it. I like videos just like everybody else. If we’re comparing a podcast to Facebook Live quality plays a huge role in how it’s getting to your ears.

I love Suzanne Summers and totally dig how she cooks from her kitchen via Facebook Live but 80 percent of the time the acoustics are in sad shape and my eyes see more of the story while my ears have tuned out.

Who better to know the podcast vibe than FOX’s Proven Innocent? Nikki M. James is Violet Price. She podcasts directly from the law firm in what’s been dubbed the Fish Bowl. Taking your business to an entirely new level of connection. With a solid mission to keeping the community up to date with situations where your voice can be heard over and over again.

For businesses. Receiving a new product and sharing it with others with the same interests can lead to sales. Videos have been doing it a long time. So what makes podcasting different? You can’t watch a video driving in traffic or sitting at your desk at work.

I was with Brian Lamb from C-Span the other day. Dudes been interviewing people on the network for 30 years. He spoke highly about their podcast department. We covered two incredibly important points. With one hundred thousand podcasts available now how do people find you?

I thought for sure he was going to say it’s time to thin the herd. He went the opposite direction with we need two to four million podcasts. It’s giving the power back to the people.

But how long will “The People” keep up the power? Somewhere along the road someone decided to introduce the idea of creating seasons. Ten to twelve shows then we’ll see you down the road. How’s that podcasting? In radio if we didn’t show up for our daily shift he was shown the door.

We hate it when Netflix and Hulu do it. Why are we playing the same game as podcasters? It kills me to hear someone brag about how great their show is then follow it with “We have a new show every Thursday.” What? Let me put your show down on my Google calendar and hope to God it vibrates when your show drops.

Podcasting isn’t an overnight fad. It grew from blogging and will continue to evolve into areas of huge chance taking. But it’s going to require a lot of elbow juice to keep it on a long term highway.

Six years ago my coworkers thought I was insane that I was putting so much drive into developing a platform. Some saw it as a way of keeping a former drive time talent busy and not complaining while others stood by with hopes that it would move a little faster than it does.

More today than any time I talk with celebs that do nothing but listen to podcasts. Comedian John Caparulo totally digs them but won’t take the leap of faith and start his own. He says he’s too far behind and by the time he catches up he’ll still be too far behind.

The moral of today’s story is simple. Podcasting is happening but it’s not going to take over the world. It’s just another platform. Like bowling and riding a bicycle everybody can do it. Those that stick with it develop incredible connections with listeners as well as PR people paid to get their clients air time.

You’ll never hear me say don’t do a podcast. It’s your voice. It’s your emotions. It’s your connection and can make you more popular than the popsicle man selling ice cream on a stick on a 110 degree day in Carolina.

Stick with it. Don’t do 12 shows then run to another church. Put up with the pain it puts in your trunk and deal with having horrid nightmare analytic numbers and then something catches and you feel like Bradly Cooper singing at the Oscars.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/17834080Mon, 06 May 2019 04:00:10 +0000Arroe CollinsWhy podcasting is beginning to crack concrete and slip beneath the door.

It breaks down into shows, not channels but shows with episodes. Coming from radio I program 9 shows with exclusive features that draw listeners closer to the content driven connection.
It is my daily goal to never host the same episode twice. The push is to be faithful to every listener. I know the niche. Originality feeds the niche.
Every morning Monday thru Friday I pop open the microphone at 5:30.
I’m on a mission. I have to figure out how I became infected by this podcasting disease.
More importantly I’m taking you with me.
Listen, I’m no expert on this new age of sharing conversations. But I’ve the experience to always backup what I’ll be bringing to every show.
This is Pod-crashing

Anywhere we can, we as a human race or just another a member of the animal kingdom will endlessly seek new places to create and share conversation. It’s who we are and it’s never going to change.
Hats off to the chance takers of the late 1980’s that took on the road by developing what was first dubbed Audio-Blogging. Thanks to the creation of the broadband internet and iPod the physical movement of Podcasting didn’t seek a purpose of being greater than a hobby until 2004.
By 2017 forty two million American’s ages twelve and above were doing podcast shows at least once a week.
I feel like a pig. A total sleaze, hooker of the digital airwaves.
My three most listened to shows Unplugged and Totally Uncut, View from the Writing Instrument and The Choice each get five new episodes per day.
I program them like a music director at a radio station. There has to be flow. Nothing can truly have something in common with the next episode airing every three our period from 7 am til 11 pm.
People want content! Look at the way we treat Google. Birds that belch. There has to be something out there about that.
That’s how I treat my shows and the episodes given birth.
You don’t need to be an expert at anything to have a decent sounding Podcast. Just do your homework. Show prep isn’t winging it.
I’m not saying that’s wrong. Talking about nothing gives me every reason to kick you off the speakers.
I heard a show the other day from a couple of pre-teens whose vision is to talk only about what they’ve got to deal with daily at school, home, with friends and at the local mall.
I loved the show probably because it was edited to keep each subject tight and not drawn out like two parallel lines sickened by the idea they’ll never meet so they keep going.
Every town, city, state, country and gambling casino has content. Pay attention to what people are talking about. Do a little research and pop that monkey on your digital platform.
I’m not saying it’s going to work. Keep practicing until you begin to grow your numbers.
Search for book promoters needing to get their clients free airtime. Say yes to everything. It’s practice. The person that tells me they’ve got a great Podcast is telling the rest of us how comfortable they are with the sound of the show.
It needs to evolve. To be found. Dropped then started all over.
Create shows with episodes that cover the subjects. This way the episode has a bigger reach without offending the people that like only purple pigs. I said something about BBQ so it can go on the cooking show too.
Every interview I prep for, I know what my shows can get away with. I creatively dive into the subjects then use brilliant keywords to direct new listeners to land their ears on my air strip.
I get huge guests and I always say yes to the nobodies. Just because you may not know the book, songs or YouTube feature, they’ve got a fan following. The best way to negotiate them to my side is to protect the people they love.
Sharing famous people conversations is a fun feature but it’s not my homerun hitter. That honor belongs to the episodes that are lifestyle driven. How you live and survive is a show! Just don’t let it go to your head. The real life will switch gears and you’ll be the orange thing with a fanned tail in a fishbowl.
The moral of the story? Have a game plan. If in 2017 forty two million people were podcasting weekly, what do you think the numbers are today? How do you expect to get your mother to listen if she’s addicted to Howard Stern’s talk and talk about a book that isn’t even released yet?

By far that’s the reason why most podcasts end up on that list of things you once did. From booking guests, to hosting interviews, producing shows then social networking the presentation, a lot of time has been lost without making a living.
I laugh when Howard Stern blisters the ears of pod and pad-casters, “If you aren’t making a decent wage don’t call yourself a Broadcaster!”
In 2006 my journey into the digital world started out as a Blogger. The station Operation Manager angrily scorned his on-air staff, “You complain about not getting enough time to talk on the air. Now that I’ve given each of you a webpage, none of you want to say anything.”
I raced to that computer and sat there doing absolutely nothing. Now that I had an open field what was I going to say? I’d start. Stop. Start again. I wasn’t into sports. The world had too many music writers. I can’t stand local and national news! Crap! I’m a failure!
It was that moment in a very dark hole that a new found energy pushed itself beyond my fingerprints straight onto a big ole ugly thick computer screen. I was going to be real.
What exactly does that mean? I wasn’t sure. I just knew I had to get onto this blogging kick and make it quick.
Before Spreaker, Libsyn, SoundCloud and Podomatic, the only place I could put my physical voice that silent screen was to attach an mp3 file. Double click and you heard the radio guy trying to be something he was a long way from becoming.
Even radio talk show hosts go through a growing period. There’s something about being live that fine tunes the craft of a communicator. Recording it for later use becomes a mastered art.
Getting to that comfortable position requires a great deal of self-discipline. Knowing when too much has been said. Even worse, when what you’ve produced doesn’t scratch the surface of good content. It sounds no different than two bored pigeons sitting on a powerline.
The moral of the story is simple… If you want to play radio get into the race and hope to God you not only land the on air position but you keep it longer than six months to a year. There are too many unemployed people willing to always do your job cheaper.
With podcasting? You’re hired! Find every business hat you’ve got and put em on your head. It’s show time! Not just today! Everyday! You can’t build a solid army of followers laying down one show a week or jamming ten shows into a season and we’ll see you in six months.
Work your fingers into those digital vibrations.

I’ve said it a few hundred times, “You have the power of choice in your heart. Compete with an unheard of list of unemployed radio and television people for one or two jobs or pick up pod or pad-casting.”
If that becomes the next step in Broadcasting your real job isn’t hosting the show, it’s running the operation.
You’re the talent, head of promotions, program director, general manager, sales staff and production guru.
All with no budget and no monetary pay. At least for now! But maybe one day.
