In this episode, former BBC host Sam Walker joins me to discuss her career in podcasting. From creating a small passion project podcast called Desert Diaries when she moved from the UK to Arizona to finding herself on the other end of a shotgun...microphone with a sometimes covert killer who rescues kidnapped children on her new disruptive (with her audience) podcast, American Vigilante! 

In this episode, The Captain from True Crime Garage joins Pod 101 to chat about creating a "True Crime" podcast before it was even a genre... though creating a podcast in a garage had already been old hat. The Captain, who admits to only being loved by 30% of the listeners tells us how he and The Colonel quickly and surprisingly built a very large following, how they're keeping things indie and the difference between who they are on mic and off. 

Brett had been podcasting for 160+ episodes and he knew something had to change. Specific guests weren't landing with his audience. He was feeling the burnout. He then decided to PIVOT with his podcast and now he's interviewing celebrities and reaching over 8,000 listeners an episode. He's releasing 3 to 5 episodes a week and not only is he enjoying himself but he's hoping to leave a legacy for his son through podcasting. 

Also we discuss what is a good "starter" microphone and whether Joe Rogan is a famous podcaster or a podcaster who is famous!  

There has been an explosion recently for Audio Dramas. Podcast Radio Plays... Narrated stories with music and sound effects, not always "Dramatic" but for lack of a better term, let's just say Audio Drama!? 

Today, Joel Mengel joins me from his Edge of the World Broadcast, podcast to discuss his ideas, process, struggles and success of creating an independently produced podcast. I also discuss Spotify and Stitcher going exclusive with Marvel and DC. I have a huge respect and love for this content no matter the level of production. 

After the interview I recommend a podcast I was recently turned on to, America's Forgotten Heroes. If you like stories of heroism, and patriotism, mixed with narration through some very crafty wordsmithing... then this podcast is for you!

In this episode, my good buddy and podcast enthusiast Ant McGinley joins me (once again) to chat about PODFEST 2020. It was an amazing time. If you're on the fence about these events... this might change your mind... if you were there, well perhaps you'll hear a different perspective?

KC Wayland, creator, writer, producer, of the world famous podcast, "We're Alive" as well as the We're Alive Lockdown and Goldrush and the upcoming Descendants spin-offs joins me to discuss the audio drama side of podcasting.

We discuss storytelling, recording, scheduling difficulties, sponsorship, raising funds, and continuing to build new listeners, even with almost 200 million downloads!

If you're at all interested in how the sausage is made, or perhaps you have your own ideas for an audio drama then this episode is another masterclass you shouldn't miss out on!

I'm not sure my words can adequately describe this podcast superstar. He's a Producer, an Influencer, a Speaker. A Rockstar and living legend!

Ant McGinley and I met 2 years ago during Podcast Movement in Philly during a Stitcher party and immediately hit it off. He's filled with a million ideas and has the energy to match.

Two years ago I saw him show a whole room of podcasters how to create a podcast episode from nothing to having it published in 30 minutes. Since then he has gone on to start his own Podcast Convention in the UK called Pods Up North. He's an inspiration to podcasters and he's come on the show to share his story.

The captain of Streamlining, king of networking, and guerrilla marketing genius, Harry Duran is interviewed on this episode of Podcasting 101. 

We discuss his early days as a podcaster, learning how to promote not only his show but himself. How he built connections in the industry. How he found sponsors for the show and moving from podcasting to creating a full business around podcasting.

Get out a pen and a full notebook of college ruled paper because you're about to be schooled with more tips, tricks and awesome advice on how to make your podcast work smarter not harder, your brain might explode!

Mike Pullano, host of the Pizza Beer Revolution Podcast joins me once again to talk about the long hiatus. Coming out of retirement. How it feels to be back on microphone. What he's learned over the years to make sure there is a stress-free production. Lots of tips and tricks.

This is an excellent, entertaining conversation and I really hope that you subscribe to the PBR podcast!

From the little problems like Mouth Noises and Skype Issues, to Internet Problems and Launching a podcast when you just aren't ready. It's all tackled in this episode with the incomparable Elsie Escobar!

You may know her from Libsyn's THE FEED, or SHE PODCASTS... or maybe you're one of the woodland creatures that's crossed her path on the mountain. If you're not, If you are unaware of her, well you are in for a delightful surprise. Always energetic, always full of useful information, and always flowing with positivity...

Get ready for an hours worth of podcasting inspiration!!!

Learning to Pivot is the theme of this episode. Finding your personal "Avatar" that speaks to not only you, but your audience can be a hard thing.

Nick is the master at overcoming and adapting. After a couple of false starts, he was able to merge his entrepreneurial spirit with the most important parts of his life. His kids. His wife.

Combining "Fatherhood" and "The Hustle" is everything that Nick Murphy is about.

This is his story.

Find Nick over at www.NickMurphy.io and follow him on Instagram @CoachNickMurphy

In this episode, Matt G from the Reason Are Several Podcast and Bill Sweeney from the Wicked Theory Podcast join me to discuss the trials and tribulations of Podfading.

I also take a minute to give a shout out to a podcast that has returned after a years long hiatus, PBR Pod (Pizza Beer Revolution).

In this episode, Chris Holifield, from I Am Salt Lake joins me to discuss everything from building a podcast, to finding a listenership, to making money through various ways of trial and error.

It doesn't matter how long you've been podcasting, you'll always identify with the struggles of an indie podcaster and you'll also learn something new every episode.

Emily Prokop, of the Story Behind Podcast, sits down to discuss the Crazy Random Happenstance from going from Podcaster to Indie Book Author.

Jacquelyn Landgraf, creator and narrator of, It Makes a Sound joins me on the show today to discuss writing, recording, producing, marketing an Audio Drama.

She takes us behind the scenes to help us understand how her show came together, and how much work goes into an audio drama.

Ant McGinley, Podcast Movement Superstar, Producer or A.K.A. "That Other Guy" from "The Left Side: The Funny Football Show", "Mondeo Law", "Mick's Martial Arts", and the reality TV pop up "Inner Circle:The Circle Podcast" joins me to discuss his life in Radio and beyond.

This man is a podcast legend in the making. I met him at Podcast Movement. What was a random happen stance running into at one of the many nightly meet and greets turned into what I hope to be a continuing friendship between podcasters.

I attended Ant and Aimee Joshua, of the "Chasing Dreams" podcast session during Podcast Movement and in their session it was how you can go from no idea to publishing a podcast episode in under 30 minutes. It was incredible.

So as you can imagine, we talk about this quite a bit. You must listen!

Rob Greenlee, host of Spreaker Live and New Media Show as well as being Head of Partnerships over at Voxnest stops by to talk about what exactly Voxnest is and what the company can do for us podcasters!

I know a lot of podcasters are interested in "monetization" and this might be an answer to your prayers. They have an interesting platform. It's built with the everyday podcaster in mind, and it doesn't sound like it's a difficult process as far as the "Ad Insertion" part goes.

Rob shares with us his knowledge from both his years in radio and the decade plus he's also put into the world of podcasting. Lot's of valuable information here folks. Not to mention, he's just got a great voice!

Make sure you're taking notes! Another great guest for Podcasting 101!

Welcome back to a brand new season of Podcasting 101!

In this weeks episode, Rob Walch, VP of Podcast Relations over at Libsyn stops by to talk a bunch of new things happening in the podcasting world. His advice, "if you're not on Spotify, you don't care about your podcast!"

Rob updates us on how to use Apple Analytics, as well as why Alexa's new Alexa Skills is going to be a game changer for your podcast!

We also discuss the death of Soundcloud, the life expectancy of Anchor and at the time of this recording... putting google play (for podcasting) out to pasture. This is of course before Google announced it was putting in some concentrated effort to help put more podcasts in more ears in the coming ears via all of their Google platforms.

I also announce something new that will be taking place during this season of Pod 101. That's right, starting next week micro episodes of  Professor Pod's Helpful Tips & Tricks to Starting a Podcast, will debut. Every other week I'll be releasing an episode focusing on a particular aspect of podcasting that will hopefully help new podcasters face their fears, give them the information they need, and they can go off and start their own podcasts!

Thanks for listening, if you like what you hear, please feel free to spread the word!

In this episode of Podcasting 101, Neil and Annaleis join me to talk about the wonderful world of Podcasting. From building a great community of listeners and friends to sharing not only the fun day to day events in their lives, but also the sometimes scary and tragic and very personal events in your life as well.

Neil and Annaleis are a married couple who shares their world with the world, and your world is better for it. Listen as they take you on a quick trip to target, or maybe even to Jamaica!

I hope you enjoy this episode of Podcasting 101. I'd love some feed back about the show! You can tweet to me (Jason the Angry Ginger) at @MonkeyPooStu or @Podcaster101.

Thanks for listening! ...and to those that support the show over at Patreon.com/monkeypoostudios you rock as well!

Dave Jackson returns to the podcast to discuss the different ways people include their personal lives in their podcast. We also chat having a healthy balance between podcasting and the rest of your life. 

Once Dave takes off... we bring in Elsie, who is coming down from the mountains and into civilization. Just ignore the dog in the back ground... for she's calling from the road and we are doing a live broadcast so all quiet like studio stuff is thrown out the window for this episode. 

Elsie talks a bit about the 2017 changes at Libsyn. She doesn't announce a Stat's app... but we threaten to spread the word about it anyway. We also talk about the Power of Podcasting and How it's changed each of our lives! 

Dan Evans, Cohost of the Deconstructing Dad podcast (yes... it's part of the Monkey Poo Studios family of podcasts) and Courtney Caulkins of the Quadcast Podcast join in on the discussion, while Neighbor Cole from the 7 Days a Geek podcast (yes... this one is part of Monkey Poo Studios too) moderates the chatroom. 

**This is the second hour of the LIVE celebration of podcasting we host each year in October known as Podtoberfest. While the episode may have been recorded previously, the information, topics and discussion is timely and shouldn't be missed**

This episode was recorded live during the annual Podcasting Celebration event known as Podtoberfest that I do every year. In this first hour, Jacquelyn Landgraf from "It Makes a Sound" joins us to discuss her new Audio Drama. She tells us how the project first came together and about all of the hard work that goes into producing an episode. During that conversation, friend of the show, and amazing podcaster, Dave Jackson of "The School of Podcasting" calls in to join the show as well. 

This is a fun and fantastic hour all about podcasting! 

Thanks so much for listening and for all of your continued support dear listener! 

In this episode my fellow podcasting pal Matt G from Reasons Are Several stops by to talk all things podcasting. 

A couple of topics discussed?

Transitioning from one cohost to another. Rebranding your show... or broadening it's appeal. Advice for first time Podcasters and Matt Shares a quick How Has Podcasting Changed His Life story. 

Honorable Mentions: Alex Inc. (A new sitcom where the plot is PODCASTING). Marc Maron's 4 seasons television show "MARON" and a funny "Your Podcasting Will Fail" clip is shared. 

In this episode of Pod 101 I celebrate my 9 years of podcasting by taking a look back through out my Podcasting career. All the shows, events and things that I've learned. Don't worry...it's in broad strokes. Other wise it'd be more of Ken Burns Documentary! 

Courtney Calkins, the man, the myth, the legend from the Quadcast Podcast joins me today for a discussion on being an authentic host. It's what attracts us as listeners, and it's what will attract listeners to you as a podcast host. Bring the energy!

We also discuss methods to prevent "Pod Fading" and social media tactics in building your audience. I'll give you a hint, be social!

Never stop learning or trying to master your craft. Courtney talks about bragging when he first started that he never edited his show. Over the course of producing his shows, he's taught himself how to create smooth transitions, and segment bumpers. He loves placing music beds through out the course of an episode. His show has become highly produced. I think it's an aural work of art.

Podcasting is one of the few forms of entertainment where you can not only build relationships but form solid friendships! If you're producing your podcast, I'm sure you're hoping to be able to give something to the listener, but if you allow it, the listener will give something back. Podcasting can be a fun filled personal journey of discovery. It can be therapeutic. Be transparent and honest with your audience. You'll be a better host, and you'll have a better show because of it.

Courtney is a self taught indie podcaster with the production value of an NPR show, but with the energy of an afternoon morning show! It's talk radio at it's finest. It's a podcast about the podcaster.

I for one think it deserves a subscription on your playlist!

iTunes:https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/quadcast-podcast/id942359443?mt=2

Also in this show, I begin production...errrrr...construction on the new Monkey Poo Studios project! More information to come in the coming weeks.

Keep listening....and keep podcasting!

Aaron Mahnke from the world wide phenomenon podcast known as Lore is interviewed in this episode. Aaron takes us from what was a simple (almost deleted) mistake, to a podcast that is now an upcoming television show, with a full season coming to Amazon Prime. Lore is about to become a book series too.

Listen to how one podcaster went from just wanting to tell stories....to living a dream! The man actually admits to having to sometimes pinch himself.

I'll be honest, I was extremely honored to spend more than the 30 minutes we had booked talking to Aaron. He's kind, intelligent, and very generous. I hope that everyone who listens to this episode learns something and is inspired to keep podcasting, or to continue on.

You can find Lore wherever you listen to podcasts. Find Aaron over at @amahnke and say hi!

I also have a quick "How Has Podcasting Changed Your Life" story from Ran Levi. Another podcaster who went from podcasting, to becoming a respected person in his field. He's been on TV. He's written books. Podcasting has indeed changed his life for the better and I'm so happy he shared his story with us! You can find Ran on twitter at @RanLevi

Paula has been podcasting for well over a year now, but only releasing episodes now for just over 6 months. Lot's of practicing. Lots and lots of tape!

We discuss everything from her evolution of recording stories, to creating a podcast revolving around her passion for live music, and all the work that goes into traveling from venue to venue, to meet with live musical acts, to get true and honest stories for them.

She is so committed to podcasting and the music scene she is actually building herself a mobile podcasting studio that she will take with her to music festival's all across Canada.

This episode we have on the two awesome hosts of Coffee with Kanobi, a coffee house style chat about all things Star Wars. We discuss the importance of connecting with listeners via Social media, like Twitter, and how being real and genuine can bring in the audience. Their show has come a long way from their first attempt at recording. The first attempt taking an astounding 14 hours to record, with only 18 minutes of listenable material, to now being featured on StarWars.com

A few things we learned from both Dan and Cory are that family and friendship come first, before the podcast, so they work together using clear communication, and balancing each other out, to make sure everything gets done.  They advise this; you can't fail at something when you are doing it for fun, and you can find your own voice through practice on the mic.

We also have a podcaster who shares his "How has podcasting change my life" story. He is the one and only, Kip Clark, host of the "Stride and Saunter" podcast, which can be found here:http://www.strideandsaunter.com/

Also weighing in on his side of the podcasting world, with another Podcast Review, is non other than our good buddy Andrew Johnstone, previously of the now defunct but still reputable Podcast Squared. Andrew joins us to give you, the listener, a review on the podcast "Cardboard!" hosted by Rich Sommer, a podcast all about board games. You can find Cardboard! here:http://cardboard.wolfpop.com/

Other topics discussed are, becoming comfortable as a host of a podcast. Becoming a listener and not just a talker. We discuss finding personal success within your podcast as well as advice for people thinking of starting thier own podcast.

In this episode of Podcasting 101, we talk about indie music, the podcasting community and networking. Lots of hard work goes into podcasting, sit back and enjoy this indie rock, and might I say F-bomb fuled chat about podcasting!

This episode is NSFW but filled with tons of passionate talk about podcasting. Thanks for listening!

in this episode of Podcasting 101, we sit down with Brian Ward and Dr. Andrea Letamendi, a Clinical Psychologist, Scientist, and Convention Speaker to discuss thier podcast "Arkham Sessions"

This podcast is different from other "Batman" podcasts in that they break each episode of the series down by taking a look at it from a psychologists point of view. It's well researched, produced and there is more passion oozing from this podcast than something you'd find in a cheesey romance novel! They love batman and it makes for an excellent podcast because of this!

This week on Podcasting 101 we talk to @MelissaKCraig from The Melissa Craig and Charity Parkinson Podcast about "How Podcasting has changed her life". Then after that, it's ALL about the Pizza, the Beer and the Revolution. First up, their assistant PBRKelly, who herself is a fan of podcasts chimes in to give a review on one of her favorite podcasts. What podcast might that be? Well, it's the "What Say You" podcast from Brian "Q" Quinn of TESD fame and Sal Vulcano, both from the hit television show The Impractical Jokers.

After the review we kick it into full PBR gear (Pizza Beer Revolution) when Matt...sorry...MIKE and Joe join myself and Jeremy (McBlizzard) for a discussion on podcasting. This is a great interview where we talk about what makes a good podcast. We also cover creating video content for your show, the true power of your podcast website and we share a few tips and tricks through out the interview that are sure to help out any podcaster!

In this episode of Podcasting 101 we hear from Chris, the host of Attention Deficit Order in "How Has Podcasting Changed Your Life?" Believe it or not, he keeps his focus...also, we may have more than one thing in common.

We again hear from Andrew Johnstone in our "Podcast Review" segment and he recommends the zombie survival radio drama We're Alive! This truly is a fantastic achivement in podcasting. *Reminder* We interviewed the creator/writer of We're Alive previously so I recommend giving that episode a listen for even more behind the scenes information on the show...then of course, go subscribe and binge listen to the podcast!

In our Interview portion of the show, I'm lucky enough to sit down with the lovely Mike Falzone and his beautiful girlfriend Zoja A.K.A. Coffee Girl (There is an origin story to the name) from Welcome to our Podcast. We talk all about starting a podcast, figuring it all out. How to handle the work load and trying to even that work load out between co-hosts. How to promote a podcast and so much more.

Justin Worsham joins us this week to talk about all things podcasting. Justin is a married, On the road comedian, and father of 2. Like all comedians these days, Justin figured he needed a podcast to continue building his audience as well as use it for getting "Radio Ready". His life is built around his kids, his act is built around his kids...so why not have the podcast follow down that path?

This guy is a born podcaster. He's funny, quick thinking...and like all good comedians, he's got really good stories to tell. He's candid about the difficulties of both building an audience as well as getting that audience to pony up a couple of dollars a month.

If you've got your heart set on monitizing your show, Justin lets it be known that it's not an easy task.

Great advice, Great stories and a lot of fun for ya on this episode of Podcasting 101! ...just don't touch Dad's stereo!

Unless you've been hiding under a rock, or still dialing into your internet, you've heard of Crowd Source Funding. Made popular by sites like Kickstarter, Indie GoGo and GoFundMe.com. Well, there is a new Crowd Funding sheriff in town and his name is Podfund!

Podfund runs and looks very similar to the other funding sites you may have used or checked out in the past...only this one is geared specifically for You, a fellow podcaster!

Robert, the creator and owner of Podfund.com was nice enough to sit down, over skype, and fill us in on all the details of creating and maintaining a podcast campain. If this is something that interests you then stick around for this interview.

In the Podcast Tip of the day, I introduce you to a site called DonateYourAccount.com. Which is a cool site that allowes your Facebook and/or Twitter followers to donate thier account for you to spread your message through. Now, your followers already know how crazy you can be with your promotion, so they do this graciously by allowing only so many Tweets or Facebook entries to be used across thier timelines. You're followers can pick a couple times a day/week or Month.

If you have some loyal followers and they are always retweeting your stuff...this could be a good way to get them to help out...at no extra effort from them.

On this episode of Podcasting 101, we talk with Catie Lazuraus of Employee of the Month fame. This is a New York based live comedy show. When her staff isn't tending to the building of her own personal moat, complete with organically fed gator's she keeps them busy with all the behind the scenes stuff that goes into making a podcast...even if it is really just one man...in a van...down by the river!

Before interviewing Catie, I offer a podcast tip. A resource all podcasters should be using. What was once known as CommentCast, a Mac only iTunes comment aggregator is now a fully functioning web based program for Mac and Window users called ReviewCast. 

Also, if you're a podcaster looking for a free Voicemail set up. Checkout a really easy to use site called K7. It's a small seattle based complany that gives you a free phone number to use. Once you set up your account and give it your email address it will send all of your voicemails to you in MP3 form, straight to your inbox. Pretty handy huh?

We also speak about the whole Podcast Patent thing for just a moment. If you are a podcast supporter or a podcaster, then you must check out this site. Listen to a small clip (video) from Adam Carolla himself. Help keep podcasting ours!

In today's episode I sit down with Geoffrey Welchman, host of The Inverse Delirium. If you're a fan of podcasts such as We're Alive or Welcome to Night Vale, other radio play type podcasts, then I suggest you give this show a listen. It's NPR with a dry but very witty sense of humor!

Geoffrey will admit that he's not the most savvy marketer, and not all of us podcasters are. But he does give great tips on keeping to a schedule. How he keeps things fresh in his podcast, and how he's brought in guests such as Kevin Pollack and Lewis Black to name a few.

This is a great interview with a very down to earth guy who's not looking for a way to make a living off of his podcast, he's just simply hoping to entertain. Whether it be a couple experiencing Netflix adultry, an inside look at the Voice Over Olympics or a reporter stuck on a chunk of ice with Scientists at war with a brutal faction of Walrus's. This sketch comedy show has a little something for everyone!

In this episode of Podcasting 101 we sit down with former S.W.A.T. officer of the law and lover of all weapons, Casey Bohn. Casey hosts the Practical Tactical Podcast. I'm guessing that you've already got an idea of what his show is about...

The cool thing about Casey is he's still trying to figure out some of the specifics of running a podcast, which is great because that's what this show is about. Those of us that podcast, love podcasting, it's just we don't all know every in and out about it. We all have strengths and weeknesses and learning is the name of the game.

Follow along with us as we talk all things podcasting. We talk guests, interviews, social media, and just like all podcasters, we're just trying to stake our claim in the podcasting world.

One of the most reoccuring questions I get is "How can I make money podcasting?" Well, there are several ways to go about doing this. One of them is have a skill or offer a service that people want not only from your podcast, it is why they're listening, but also in person. Coaching is a big thing these days. Sometimes a little one on one action is the best thing!

Jordan Harbinger does just that. He offers his expertise to all of his podcast listeners...outside of his podcast. This is a great episodes and Jordan was nice enough to sit down with us for far longer than we had planned so he could share some tips and tricks his fellow podcasters!

He has advice for Podcasters of every degree...so sit back and as always, make sure you have that pen and pad ready because it wouldn't be Podcasting 101 if we weren't teaching you something!

Daniel J. Lewis from "The Audacity to Podcast" visits Podcasting 101 to talk all things podcasting. If you haven't guessed by now...it's sort of what we both do. Though Daniel had been around quite a bit longer than I. He's got this "How to" podcasting thing down! Wait...wait...before you click unsubscribe and hightail it over to his podcast I would just like to say...there is room in your feed for both of ours shows! LOL

Daniel also runs his own network, Noodle.mx network. He has a handful of shows on the network as well as another fist full of shows that he has brought into the network. He has a ton of advice to give and hands it out freely on this show...not to mention weekly on his podcast...and his blog! This man is a jack of all trades when it comes to podcasting. Without even knowing it he's kind of a mentor, I think he's doing great things for us podcasters and for that I'd like to say thank you! Now, we do things a bit different, and thats ok...but at the end of the day we both love podcasting and we both love helping people out!

Also, if you're looking to run a companion podcast, a podcast about a TV show series then this episode goes deap into how exactly to go about doing that. Lots of great information! This is something that I've been working on myself. I soon will be launching my own "Companion TV show podcast" so it was something that I was interested in learning!

Also, in the near future I hope to have running blog up soon on the "Under re-construction" website and I hope I can be half as helpful as Daniel. I really do recommend checking out his website and saying hey to him on Twitter @TheRamenNoodle.

Thanks again Daniel for coming on the show and I hope we get a chance to yap again in the future!

There is a podcast for everything, even for people who love board games. I sat down with the guys from ALL US GEEKS to talk about their show, there particular niche for geek and everything else that goes into building a podcast. 

Pay attention to how they market their show, they use their interests to build interests. Forums, Cons, Word of mouth and even Kickstarter. I think the thing to take away from this episode is, if you want people to talk about your podcast then you have to talk about it first! 

Enjoy!

Untill Next time...

Tim Keaty from "Surfing Aliens" tells us that one trick to building up a listening audience is to release 3 episodes of your podcast at once! Once you've recorded your practice podcast and listened back to it in shame...then record again, and again, and again! If you're proud of these episodes, and make sure that you are, they will represent to all your listners new and future, what your show will be. Release them all at once. This will show up on iTunes and instantly give your potential podcast listener a reason to hit the SUBSCRIBE button!

Social Media Marketing is the name of the podcast our guest Michael Stelzner is from, so of course we talk all things Marketing in this episode of Podcasting101. Are spreading the word of your podcast across all social media platforms? Also, how important is the written blog in the world of podcasting. Michael says that's easy, your podcast feed is already a blog...use it!

Social Media Marketing has been out for just over a year and already has over a million downloads. It's averaging 21,000 downloads a week now. If you're looking for those types of numbers than I suggest you sit back, relax and enjoy the next 45 minutes! Oh, take notes if you'd like, I did!

Thanks for all the downloads everyone! Just counting the downloads from our first FULL Month, you've helped us get over 9,100 downloads! That is amazing! Thanks so much for spreading the word via your social media outlets, it's helped a lot! Also, for all of you have subscribed via iTunes and written such nice things I thank you! For well over a year now I've been getting asked questions about podcasting and it's something that I absolutley fell in love with so it's nice to see that people are enjoying the show and learning from it. Thanks again!

Building your podcasting audience is a constent struggle. Even when your doing good, you want to do better! Tyler Smith is the host of Battleship Pretension, a podcast that delves deep into the structure and theory of film.  Co-host David Bax (absent) and Tyler have built their podcast for the last 6 years and still struggle to get it to a place they are happy with. This is a common theme amongst podcasters, What defines a successfull podcast, A small legion of loyal listeners or is it just a numbers game? Does a large number of downloads define success?

Of course our guest is the host of a movie podcast so there this episode is layered in a bit of film talk but we also talk Equipment as well as spend some time on how to market a podcast. This is an always changing, ever evolving creature in the podcasting world. If there is one way that will always show results, big or small, seems to be the guest host. With a guest host brings the possiblity of their fans following them to the show and if they like what they hear, perhaps they'll subscribe and stick around.

If you're a smart podcaster you're always learning and always adapting. If you're a new podcaster...hit the subscribe button and listen to this episode and the episodes that have come before it. Everyone runs thier show a little bit different. It's not really what's right and wrong (don't get me wrong, there are both) but it's how you use the information handed to you and make it work for your show!

As always, we'd love to hear from you!

Limited Release is a podcast about all things webseries. Candice and Nick come on over to Monkey Poo Studios via Skype to fill us in how they run thier show. This is an interesting listen for those that want to do a show with barely any Post Production. They teach us how to get all your sound files at the ready and play them as you record. How do you feel about editing? Some think it's a must...others don't. We discuss this and so much more.

Enjoy!

Radio Drama Creator/Writer/Producer of the awesome We're Alive! Podcast joins us to talk about his show. We get a behind the scenes tour of how he produces his show. We talk screenwriting for the radio drama, he gives us insite as to how he schedules his team of sound designers, actors and editors.

The great thing about his story is he started out small just like all of us. He had a dream of telling a great story and built his audience by word of mouth. 20 listeners here...another 30 there. It took a while for him to reach the audience he has now. Millions of downloads to be exact. Hard work pays off. We're Alive is now part of the Nerdist Network and deservedly so.

We want to hear from you! Subscribe to Podcasting101 on iTunes or like us on Stitcher Radio. Let us know what you think of this podcast.

Podcasters using Skype for their interviews will want to listen to this one. The hosts of Beyond The 140, a play on the amount of characters allowed on Twitter, run thier whole podcast off of Skype. They are both in 2 seperate states. They've never even met. Every week they invite someone who's "Twitter Famous" to come on their show and have a chat. We also talk a lot about scheduling a show. Keeping in constent contact with the guest leading up to the interview is key. Having a Pre-show call is also very benificial. It helps all 3 get close like freinds. This show's in the interview.

@IAmDelFreaky and @JCWisdomNuggets have got a lot of great nuggets (pun intended) to share with first time podcasters or any podcaster for that matter. If you're looking to do more interviews or want a good template to create for you to manage your show's upcoming interviews then you can learn a lot from these guys!

Ben stops work on his Higgs Boson and climbs out of his Black Hole to talk Science and Podcasting with us! If you're at all familiar with "The Big Bang Theory" both the TV show or the real deal...then you must check this episode out!

We chat about getting interviews with the big people and how that could disrupt the flow of your podcast...or not. Depends on thier interest. How important the regular release of a show is to your audience and how to go about building said audience.

The interesting thing about Titanium Physicists Podcast is that it's all done over SKYPE. Ben's co-hosts and guests are scattered across the globe so he talks a great deal in putting a show together via different kinds of editing software.

This is both a fun, funny podcast with a ton of information thrown at you. So get out your notepad and take notes because Ben is a great teacher and he loves giving tests!

This week Travis and Brandi join us from the Tiny Odd Conversations show. Starting up a podcast, Marketing and reaching an audience are just a few things discussed. We really touch on a little bit of everything in this episode. A must listen in my oppinion.

@PTPpodcast stops by the studio to talk a little podcasting this week! Before we even get started, seeing how they're a Canadian based trio, we had to ask them a few questions about the old TV show "You Can't Do That On Television."

We quickly learn that though they've heard of it, they are to young to have seen it.

Shannon, Justin and Justin all come from a background in radio/broadcasting! They're the real deal. They take us from thier days at a college radio station to their first days of podcasting. From great studio equipment to just a macbook with a built-in-microphone they plug away at their podcast dream like an indie band that could! ...and they do!

This group has tons of advice to give and a great sense of humor.

*NSFW*** This episode has a few crude jokes. Though I try to keep this show away from the dirty side of humor...sometimes it's just got to happen. If that offends you, just skip this episode and we'll be on our best behavior most of the time....

From their humble beginnings, all the way as they rise to the top. Leanne Rice (whom we actually speak to in this episode) and her podcasting partner Sara started just under 2 years ago with just a podcast and now they are running a little media empire! All of it they do while eating cake, drinking tea and bringing lots of funny! Great information is given on both Scheduling and Monetizing a podcast. Don't miss this episode!

Thanks again Lea for putting up with our silly shenanigan's! I learned a lot from you and I know our listeners will too!
