Chloé Watts’ Post

If you have been a guest on a number of podcasts, have you posted about it a couple of times, never to mention the appearance again? Why not create a body of work and store all of your podcast appearances in one place? How about dedicating a page on your website to all your appearances? That way, when you pitch to be a guest, you can include a link to this page so that they can check out how you come across in the audio space. It sells you in your absence.

I keep seeing this narrative: "Everyone needs a podcast." I'm not sure I agree. For one thing, the podcast space is incredibly crowded as it is. If *everyone* has one, then we're drowning out even more people in this cacophony of noise. And for what? For all of us to hear ourselves talk? Don't get me wrong. I love podcasts. But they have to have a purpose. A voice. Something that makes them unique. The worst thing someone can ask about your podcast is, "Why is this a thing?" If I'm going to invest my (admittedly limited) time and resources in creating and hosting a podcast, I need to be sure of my "why." To say nothing of the fact that I'll need to stand out somehow. Having one just to have one serves no one. Not me, and certainly not my potential, theoretical audience. When creatives talk about being strategic, this is the sort of thing we mean.

At the top of Apple Podcast's "Browse" is a Featured Collection called Summer Listens with podcasts picked "to complement every moment of the bright days and balmy nights ahead." You'll find Dorktales Storytime Podcast and other kids podcasts under Schools Out. #applepodcasts #dorktalesstorytime #dorktalespodcast

For the first time since the launch of The Soap Box Podcast, I'm hitting the emergency pod button. You'll find a fresh new episode in your podcast feed today on the riots currently touring the UK. Just search "The Soap Box Podcast" wherever you get your podcasts. As well as unpacking how we got here and how we can get back out, I mention that I'm re-recording the webinar I ran at The Soap Box community launch a few months ago on how to have better conversations and giving it to everyone on my Soap Box Weekly email list tomorrow. If you're looking around and thinking "I don't like where we are now, but I don't know how to help", then this webinar offers you 3 tools to help you have better conversations with those who disagree with you - on all sorts of topics. So we can challenge harmful rhetoric with confidence, whether we find it on LinkedIn, or at the next family barbecue. Sound good? Then sign up for the list here: https://buff.ly/3UrNgVb

Are there tasks you hate? Don't give yourself "time" ⏰ to get it done. Give yourself a specific outcome instead. Like writing that report, don’t “give yourself 4 hours to do it.” Make this your goal instead: “finish the draft and I can be done for the day.” You’ll work smarter and faster than you ever would have if you time boxed yourself! ____ PSSTT 🧏🏼♂️ Did you know I have a podcast? I go through my daily LinkedIn post but filling in a little more detail and application for you, all in 3-5 minutes! Search “timesmith” wherever you listen to podcasts.

The first impression people have of your podcast is its name. You have 1 to 2 seconds to grab their attention so they will investigate further. If you miss, they will keep on scrolling. In tomorrow's Podcast Prep newsletter, we will discuss how to pick the right name for your podcast--what to consider, what to avoid, and how to make it right for your show. It's also okay to change the name of your existing podcast if you realize your show name doesn't work. We will discuss this too. If you haven't signed up yet, you can go to podcastprep . xyz and join 1400+ readers like Sarah Hopkinson.
