If I was to suggest one rule to any budding podcaster, it would be this: Be yourself. The podcasters I listen to keep my attention by letting their natural enthusiasm shine through. It hardly matters to me whether their podcasts are 5 minutes or 50 minutes or whether they keep great show notes or can conduct an interview that’s smoother than Terry Gross.
However, if you’re not getting the results you want from your podcast and you can’t quite figure out why, it might be time to try a few or more of the tips contained in FrogBlog’s 20 Ideas for a Great Podcast. These are good reminders for everyone from the newbie to the old pro.
What do you think, Seattle Podcasters? Any quibbles? Would you add anything to the list?
