In this episode of the Podcasters Podcast, Ash and Kane re-record a review episode of the veterinary podcast "Chat with the Chatfields." They discuss the positive aspects of the podcast, such as the rapport between the hosts, the consistent episode length, and the inclusion of sponsors. They also provide constructive feedback on areas for improvement, including the need for clearer branding and naming consistency, better audio quality and balance, more detailed show notes, and the use of chapters on YouTube. Despite the critiques, Ash & Kane commend Jen & Jason's podcast for its impressive growth and success in the podcasting world.KEY TAKEAWAYS The podcast, "Chat with the Chatfields," is a veterinary podcast hosted by Jennifer and Jason. The hosts have a good rapport and provide educational content that is entertaining. The podcast has a consistent episode length, which is important for listener engagement. The podcast has a good number of subscribers and positive reviews, indicating its popularity and quality. There are areas for improvement, such as improving audio quality, balancing the voices of the hosts, and creating more detailed show notes with useful resources. BEST MOMENTS "They've got so much further than most people. They have got a ton of episodes there. That's awesome. I've said this stat recently before 90% of podcasts stop within three episodes and 90% of those finish or stop by episode 20. So purely by podcasting for six months, you are in the top 1% of people that have ever done it. And that is something to be applauded and well done." "I think educational content where people are entertained at the same time, 100% is going to land better." "Views are like very good, like subs, 1900 and that's just on the YouTube. So that's really good. Top 3% in the world, you know, and they had 45, five-star ratings on the podcast. So there is clearly, and their comments and their reviews are really positive and it's mostly about the two hosts and how they are." "Their episodes are all a similar length, right? Which is something people take for granted sometimes. No one wants to listen to a podcast where one time it's 20 minutes long, the next it's an hour and 50, right? If it's different types of content within the podcast, fair enough, like interviews, solo or discussion episodes, but there's all seems to be a pretty consistent length. Their episodes, which is good." "The niche of their content is really good. We always say to people, the more niche, the better. So that's probably helped them in getting sponsors and getting really good feedback and views, etc." VALUABLE RESOURCES Website Chats with the Chatfields: https://youtube.com/@ChatfieldShow EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT Podcast Production - The Cost of the Wrong Choice How to Launch a Number 1 Podcast - Part 1 ABOUT THE HOSTS Kane Baron & Ashley Morris run the UK's first and largest Podcast Agency, Progressive Media.

Ash and Kane talk about the ways you can leverage YouTube to grow and scale your podcast including how to format your videos, the types of content to create and how to play the YouTube algorithms. KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s not enough to just upload the full podcast to YouTube, this won’t be effective. The optimal way to grow on YouTube is to do the daily posting of shorts, a few excerpts of mid-length content 1/3 times a week and then your full-length version once a week. 5-15 min excerpts are important because they get people to buy into you and your podcast. You are giving them the ‘best bits’ to tease them into listening to your full podcast. You’re doubling your SEO by creating more excerpts, it’s a chance to have a title about specific content separate from your main episode. You must pick quality over quantity, particularly with your excerpts, as these are what appeal to people who will end up subscribing to you. You can be more experimental with your shorts/clips. You can upload a few shorts then whichever one does the best, tailor your except content around this. It can be a good thing to start with shorts and get some traction first, so you can understand what content is popular. You want your retention on your videos to be high, one way to do this is to edit in best bits of the full version of your podcast into the intro/beginning of the video as it keeps people watching and engaged. BEST MOMENTS “Daily shorts, you’re going to get good virality, really good views even from a brand new account” “Joe Rogan revolutionised this” “It’s a really good way to turn a bit of evergreen content into newsjacking” “Those 1-3 excepts, they’re going to be the biggest catalyst to your growth” “If you keep uploading content and it gets nothing, YouTube is going to learn this creator sucks and I’m not going to push their content out” “You need your retention to be as high as possible after 30 seconds” VALUABLE RESOURCES Website EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT Podcast Production - The Cost of the Wrong Choice How to Launch a Number 1 Podcast - Part 1 ABOUT THE HOSTS Kane Baron & Ashley Morris run the UK's first and largest Podcast Agency, Progressive Media.

Kane and Ash are answering your questions in this episode including whether your podcasts should be videos too, what type of content people prefer and the easiest way to share and promote a podcast. KEY TAKEAWAYS You don’t need video to make your podcast successful but if you do podcasting alongside video then you will reap more benefits and find more success Generally, people prefer podcasting because it feels personal and with co-hosts and interviews it’s conversational which allows for better content The easiest way to share a podcast is to turn episodes into clips and post them on other social media platforms, including collaboration posts with guests which puts you in front of multiple audiences Your show notes will help you grow your listenership with keywords, SEO and having lots of things for Apple and Spotify to surface your content to people BEST MOMENTS “The idea it’s a conversation somehow adds more credibility to what you’re saying” “I feel like my best content is where you prompt me” “Look how quickly you grow, because you’re in front of other peoples audiences” “The total number of people that read an entire list of show notes and then decide not to listen to the episode is zero percent, nobody does that” VALUABLE RESOURCES Website EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT Podcast Production - The Cost of the Wrong Choice How to Launch a Number 1 Podcast - Part 1 ABOUT THE HOSTS Kane Baron & Ashley Morris run the UK's first and largest Podcast Agency, Progressive Media.

It’s uncommon to get hateful or negative comments directly on podcast apps, however when a podcast is repurposed into clips, that is when you can often see negativity crop up on other platforms. Join Ash and Kane as they talk about not only how to deal with these comments but how to leverage them to serve you and your podcast. Ash and Kane also talk about the importance of positive engagement and the things you can do to elevate your connections with your audience. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being on the fence means you will not perform well as your content isn’t engaging people. If you are worried about putting content out there because of the reaction you get then you aren’t creating content that is true to you and your message. You shouldn’t suffer with imposter syndrome if you are who you say you are. The people who comment negatively are never going to buy from you so don’t feel like you need to make them happy. LinkedIn is a great platform for podcasters to use to engage with their audience. Engage with positive engagement and connect with those individuals as they like what you are doing and are also potential clients and customers. A newsletter for your listeners is a key way to engage with them directly, having an email list is also beneficial for any sponsorships going forward. BEST MOMENTS “Get off the fence because that will cause engagement” “Haters are so good for the algorithm” “We don’t just chat shit, we do shit too!” “With positive engagement it's important to connect with those people because they clearly like what you do” VALUABLE RESOURCES Podcast Production - The Cost of the Wrong Choice How to Launch a Number 1 Podcast - Part 1 Free Podcast Workshop https://tinyurl.com/Podhelp ABOUT THE HOSTS Kane Baron, Ashley Morris & Thom Luter manage over 150 live podcasts Including Rob Moore, Kevin Clifton, Shaa Wasmand MBE & more. Helping Entrepreneurs Launch, Scale & Monetise their podcast for over 6 years.

Ash and Kane give the low down on one of the fastest-growing social media platforms ever, Threads. They talk about how to utilise it right now, what it’s great for and what they expect to see in the future. KEY TAKEAWAYS Threads has a network effect and people often underestimate the impact of this, you can still attract a wide audience if people are engaging with your content. Interact with as many people as possible, this will get you in front of a wider audience. One of the opportunities at the moment is the amount Threads have spent to launch it, they want it to work so they will make it favourable to creators early on. Now is the time to utilise this. Be an early adopter of the platform and experiment and get creative. After 3 months you will begin to figure out what works and have an advantage over many other creators. It is worth spending some time on Threads but bear in mind at the moment, video content is still preferable so continue to do your video content. BEST MOMENTS “They’re tapping into the Instagram audience that has 2 billion monthly users” “You can still get a big audience of people that don’t know you if people are engaging in your content” “At the end of the day, these platforms don’t exist if there are not creators” “At the minute, video content is still king” “Threads is already bigger than clubhouse” VALUABLE RESOURCES Podcast Production - The Cost of the Wrong Choice How to Launch a Number 1 Podcast - Part 1 Free Podcast Workshop https://tinyurl.com/Podhelp ABOUT THE HOSTS Kane Baron, Ashley Morris & Thom Luter manage over 150 live podcasts Including Rob Moore, Kevin Clifton, Shaa Wasmand MBE & more. Helping Entrepreneurs Launch, Scale & Monetise their podcast for over 6 years.

The current AI for show notes, editing and transcripts aren’t good enough for use yet, but in this episode, Kane and Ash talk about the things you can use AI for as a podcaster and discuss the positive aspects of the current AI tech out there! KEY TAKEAWAYS You can use AI to generate your podcast name, if you give it the right info it can give you lots of good options to choose from AI can give lots of good content generation including generating questions for guests and save you time on research for guests and subjects including for SEO optimisation AI can give you lists of where your audience is, it doesn’t matter how niche your subject matter is, it can list everywhere your audience is and you can utilise this in so many ways. Don’t take the use of AI too far, for example, no one would want to listen to a podcast created purely by AI! AI can help you a lot in podcasting but there are still many things in podcasting AI will never replicate, such as authenticity. BEST MOMENTS “We have spent money on them, they just aren’t good enough” “It takes a lot of the legwork out of the planning and thinking a podcast” “You don’t have to do research, you don’t need to do much research on guests and you don’t need to think where to promote it, it does all of that for you” “You’re going to get left behind if you don’t leverage it” VALUABLE RESOURCES Podcast Production - The Cost of the Wrong Choice How to Launch a Number 1 Podcast - Part 1 Free Podcast Workshop https://tinyurl.com/Podhelp ABOUT THE HOSTS Kane Baron, Ashley Morris & Thom Luter manage over 150 live podcasts Including Rob Moore, Kevin Clifton, Shaa Wasmand MBE & more. Helping Entrepreneurs Launch, Scale & Monetise their podcast for over 6 years.

Time to bust some podcast myths with Ash and Kane who explore everything from the editing you need to how much it really costs to make a podcast! KEY TAKEAWAYS ‘Plastic content’ is when something has been over-edited and feels very inauthentic People listen to podcasts because it's relatable, you don’t want it to be highly produced Podcasting doesn’t have to cost a lot, it costs as much as you want to spend. Podcasting is less technical than you might first think, all you need is a mic to get started! Being new and small as a podcast can be a benefit, your audience relates to you more even if you don’t have the most expertise, there’s always someone behind you in your journey. You don’t need famous guests for a successful podcast. You can be incredibly successful without having to leverage famous names. As long as your content is good and you market it to the right people, you can create a very popular podcast. BEST MOMENTS “All shows must be well produced, edited, all of that good stuff” “If you want to do social media, I promise that’s harder” “You don’t’ need to spend a load of money” “It did so well because it was so relatable to people” “You don’t need huge name guests” VALUABLE RESOURCES Podcast Production - The Cost of the Wrong Choice How to Launch a Number 1 Podcast - Part 1 Free Podcast Workshop https://tinyurl.com/Podhelp ABOUT THE HOSTS Kane Baron, Ashley Morris & Thom Luter manage over 150 live podcasts Including Rob Moore, Kevin Clifton, Shaa Wasmand MBE & more. Helping Entrepreneurs Launch, Scale & Monetise their podcast for over 6 years.

Ash and Kane discuss the differences between podcast content that is relevant days, weeks, months and potentially even years down the line and content that is ‘of the time’ such as utilising hot topics and news stories. They also give tips on how to ensure evergreen content is exactly that and what works well for both types of content. KEY TAKEAWAYS Evergreen is something that is relevant all of the time. Good evergreen content is timeless. Creating evergreen content means you will get everything you absolutely can from that one piece of content. The main benefit of doing of the time content such as newsjacking, is it gets way more traction. People are attracted to new things. Utilising news doesn’t have to be 'big' it can simply be related to your business and/or niche. If you are looking to build relationships with listeners then evergreen content should be your go-to. 80-90% of your long-form content should be evergreen and short-form content should be 80%+ timely/news oriented. You can have evergreen content as banked content, which can help you manage your podcast better. BEST MOMENTS “If something is new, people want to know about it” “Of the time content will always work better with clips” VALUABLE RESOURCES Podcast Production - The Cost of the Wrong Choice How to Launch a Number 1 Podcast - Part 1 Free Podcast Workshop https://tinyurl.com/Podhelp ABOUT THE HOSTS Kane Baron, Ashley Morris & Thom Luter manage over 150 live podcasts Including Rob Moore, Kevin Clifton, Shaa Wasmand MBE & more. Helping Entrepreneurs Launch, Scale & Monetise their podcast for over 6 years.
