Play a 4 minute clip from the show - I explain my background and how I got started in radio/podcasting

On the show today:
We discuss the Most Common “New Podcaster Fears and Frustrations”
Then we chat about last week’s “Listener Comments”

Starting a podcast is not always easy, we at Spreaker make it as easy as possible, but even we present frustrations to the process because you must learn how to use the platform. I (Rob) spends a lot of time each week with new podcasters to help them get through these Frustrations and Fears.

Every podcaster has some of these fears and frustrations.. I still have them after 13 years of podcasting.

“Frustrations with learning all the tools and processes needed to start and operate successful podcast”

“What is a “podcast?” Am I one or Not on Spreaker?”

“Is content you only upload to YouTube and Do Live on Facebook a podcast?”

“Is there such a thing as a Live Podcast?”


“I hate it when my volume levels are all over the map in my show”

“I am scared to setup an RSS Feed, is Intimidating”

“I don’t like my voice and cannot listen to it, no one else will like either”

“What is and How do I get quality cover art?

“Scared about doing a podcast and no one listens or friends judge me”

“How do I do mobile on the road recordings and the setup needed?”

“People will hate my show”

“Scared to learn all that needs to be learned to podcast”

“What will my boss think if he learns I have a podcast?”

“What microphone should I get?”

“Who and How do I get my show into all the listening platforms?”

“How do I get a Skype caller on my show?”

Great show gentlemen. Alex, I totally agree with you about satellite radio, I'm surprised the services are still alive. I'd NEVER pay for it. I rarely listen to the radio. I stream podcasts on my phone using a few different apps, connected to my car via Bluetooth. I also listen to audiobooks.

I actually up-load everything in 44.1 *.wav so that it will be better when it compresses than if it is double encoded as *.mp3.

I am addicted to coffee, too. 😉

I only listen to area FM radio when we are in the vehicle. If I am inside, I listen to Spreaker.
