Podcast Answer Man Episode 141
Hosting, Engaging Your Audience, Audio Quality, And More

Right Click Here To Download

In this episode you will hear the following information:

I take a call from Dave Dufour where he asks a few questions about hosting your podcast on your own v/s hosting with a network.

Next, Eirk Fisher called in to ask me what I am using in Adobe Audition to generate some of the same results of what I used to get when I was using Levelator.

Next, Brent Green called in to ask what are my suggestions for engaging your audience.

Then I took one final call from Gordon Firemark who shared some thoughts about the problem of Paralysis by Analysts and suggested that people just need to get out there and do something. During his call, he said “Pretty Good is More Than Enough” and “Quantity beats quality every single time.” While I totally agree that people need to forget about PERFECTION when starting and that Pretty Good is “good enough” to get started. I would argue that “pretty good” is NOT “MORE THAN ENOUGH.” I don’t want to discourage anyone from getting started. But good enough is just “good enough” which is “enough” to get started. Listen to the podcast for more details.

At the end of the show, I announce that I’m launch a Podcast Answer Man BootCamp Webinar Series.
