Coffee with a Podcaster

About Coffee with a Podcaster

The Podcasting Industry has supported open-standard audio and video production for independent podcasters, business owners and creative minds across the world. But the industry has changed. New podcasters are trying to find the fastest way to "success" by chasing the most popular podcasters they know. Companies are pushing products to grab your money with one hand, and give you a bunch of low-affect tasks to do in the other. Podcast Influencers are sharing advice they've sourced from the Internet, but never tried themselves. Or they make armchair assumptions about what SHOULD work, not what DOES. The "Common Wisdom" isn't wise anymore. And there are more unhappy and unfulfilled podcasters today then ever. "Coffee with a Podcaster" is your podcast industry reality check. I (Matthew Bliss) sit down with you, over a coffee, and help you find fulfilment and optimism in a podcasting world filled with bad advice dressed up as self-improvement. I want you to listen if: ⁉️ You're no longer a beginner and overwhelmed with uncertainty. ⁉️ You feel like you're running on the podcast production treadmill. ⁉️ Your podcast doesn't make you happy. ⁉️ You're constantly asking how you should change your podcast. ⁉️ You feel anxiety when you hear new advice, and feel like you're leaving growth on the table. ⁉️ You've forgotten why you started Podcasting in the first place. I've been in the podcast game as a podcaster, editor and producer since 2020. I've seen all the changes, the rhetoric, the financial incentives, and the bad advice. I've grown through it, and I want to use my experience to help you find happiness with your podcast. Too many people have dug too deep on podcasting, and they're stuck. I want to lift you out of the hole and help you find the reason you started podcasting in the first place. Let me be your friend in podcasting, and let's find your happiness in your podcast together.

   Podcast Definitions don’t Matter [to the listener]

   A brand new consortium of self-selected industry pundits have made their sentiments known about the industry of podcasting recently with the AMP Accords. And who could have guessed? It kicked up, once again, what the definition of a "podcast" is. You'll have opinions about this topic. You'll think they're either wrong, right or on the right track. But in this episode, I ask (and answer) what I think is the most important question: does an industry definition of podcasting REALLY matter to your listeners? The AMP Accords: https://www.ampaccords.com/ (https://www.ampaccords.com/) Have a question for me? Email: podcast@mbpod.com (mailto:podcast@mbpod.com) Interested in what I do?

   Something to Help you Pick a Podcast Editor

   There is a *sometimes* contentious issue among Podcast Editors, which doesn't have a definitive answer but must be considered. Should a Podcast Editor have (currently or previously) their own podcast? I am of the opinion that they should. It helps with professional development, understanding the client, adaptation of skills... plenty of advantages! Especially when you're trying to find a great editor for YOUR show! In the episode, I extrapolate on my reasons for finding an editor with their own podcast as an advantage when looking to outsource the production of your podcast. Have a question for me?

   Remember to Forget

   There's a threshold that we step over when we transition from being a podcast listener to a podcast creator. Suddenly, the podcasting world envelopes all our creative decisions, and it becomes harder than ever to put our ideal listener's shoes on. In this short one, I talk about why remembering to forget your podcast industry knowledge might help you make the best decisions for your podcast, and perhaps a way to enjoy your own content as a listener again.
