In this episode of PodOn, Julian and TJ talk about a very hot topic in the podcasting industry, Clubhouse! What is all the fuss about, how does it work and how can podcasts and Clubhouse work together? Will it take over the audio industry? Should I do my podcast in a Clubhouse format? Join this conversation to get the answers to these questions and learn why TJ and Julian definitely think Clubhouse and podcasts will be working together instead of competing against each other.
Jump straight into:
(00:52) - What is Clubhouse and why it’s received so much attention - “It was just such a great opportunity to get different people's perspectives on a particular topic.”
(02:37) - Clubhouse vs. podcasting? Will they be competing? - “I definitely think it has staying power, but I think there's going to be more of a complementary aspect to it.”
(03:44) - Team play! How podcasts and Cubhouse can complement each other - “Something that people can do is if you release on a Tuesday, having a Clubhouse on a Thursday or Friday to ask any outstanding questions. It really is just a good way to interact with your audience in real-time.”
(05:46) - Why Clubhouse can’t replicate what is done in a podcast format - “It’s like comparing Netflix to zoom and thinking that zoom is going to take over Netflix.”
(07:03) - Audio quality, disruptions, and other considerations - “You have to think if that is the best use of Clubhouse; just to have a conversation and talk at people versus the benefit of bringing others on stage to voice their opinions.”
(08:40) - The big takeaway: Make them work together! - “If you put your heart and soul into podcasting, you're going to see the benefits of that while working with your audience on Clubhouse.”
(09:40) - Julian and TJ’s predictions for the future of Clubhouse - “I think there's going to be an interesting way in which Clubhouse can tie into podcasting. For example, where you can do a Q&A and you can upload that directly to your podcasting feed.”

On this episode of PodOn, Julian and TJ talk to fellow podcaster, Rebecca Schwartz from Dating in the Bae, about her experience starting and growing a podcast in the middle of the pandemic. Rebecca shares with us the inspiration behind her show, how she got over disliking her own voice, and the tricks behind being a confident content creator. Join us on this episode to learn firsthand what it means to grow a successful podcast from scratch and why resilience, resourcefulness, and flexibility are must-have qualities that will help you thrive in this industry!
Jump straight into:
(01:42) - Becca’s dating experience and how it inspired Dating in the Bae - “I heard a bunch of podcasts about dating and relationships and they always have this element of “something's wrong with you” and I just fundamentally believe that that's not true.”
(05:27) - The pandemic creative nudge: “I was unemployed, there's a global pandemic and I was just sitting at home and talking to myself. So I was like, might as well just record myself.”
(08:22) - Stop cringing to the sound of your own voice - “You sound like what you sound, everybody has a crutch word, everybody has an uhm word.”
(12:22) - How to get phenomenal guests and offer something of value: On sliding into DM’s and scheduling - “It's the same approach that I have for dating that I use for the podcast, which is just “cast a wide net and see what happens”.”
(18:04) - On getting new audiences while staying true to yourself - “I think people should measure their own success and not rely on outside validation.”
(21:43) - Adjusting on the flight: How being flexible can help you expand your show - “I will brainstorm lots of random ideas and then I'll try and figure out people that can help me get those topics covered.”
(25:52) - Should I get a sponsor or a co-host?: On bringing collaborators into your project - “It'd be nice if I had a co-host because I could refer to them and then also we'd have our own banter.”

What's your motivation
Welcome to PodOn, the podcast where we share stories from other podcasters and talk with them about the challenges we all face when beginning the podcasting journey. If you are a podcaster, we would love to hear your story and your feedback. If you love this podcast, please subscribe and share it with your friends.
On this PodOn episode, Julian and TJ get introspective and talk about a fragile topic: motivation. We’ve touched on the fadeout phenomenon before on this show and it is your level of motivation that can decide whether your show falls into fadeout or continues to grow. But don’t worry! Julian and TJ share the ultimate tips and tricks that will help you remember your initial excitement for podcasting and beat the non-recording avalanche. Join us on this episode and learn everything on batch recording, getting your times set, finding an accountability system, and getting your creative juices flowing again!
Jump straight into:
(00:27) - Why having a co-host is definitely helpful - “From a motivation standpoint, when you are working with team members, or it is a larger team, you want to make sure that everybody's holding themselves accountable, including yourself as a host.”
(02:52) - Beat the avalanche: On batch recording and setting specific times - “Once you get that avalanche of non-recording, it will only become bigger and stronger and eventually it's just going to crumble you.”
(03:33) - Record anyway!- “Even if you're not in a fancy studio or have a fancy mic at home, bust out your phone and just talk about a topic that you're passionate about.”
(07:15) - Give yourself time and get comfortable - “A lot of shows out of the gates that are like, ’We have to be a weekly show’. You don't, you really don't.”
(08:14) - TJ and Julian’s final advice: Build an accountability support system - “Find that friend who's going to call you out to make sure that you're staying on top of things.”
