Answering podcast questions

Paying Guests? And More Podcast Questions – PTC 422

I recently held an “ask me anything” session to answer your podcast questions. And, you didn’t let me down. So many great questions.

On this episode, I want to share that session with you.

Here are a few of the questions we answer.

RERELEASING?

I’ve recently seen podcasts rereleasing old episodes. Is this a good way to get old content heard by new subscribers or does it risk loyal listeners feeling a bit cheated?

TOO LONG?

I have been running my book-ish podcast from February but because of work/life/exams, I had to take a break in October. I’d like to get back to it however as the first few months were a bit underwhelming in terms of reach (I really loved doing it though) and I’d really like to give it a push. In terms of re-launching, do you have any tips or does/don’ts to share? Do you think it’s too long a time without posting anything?

PAY GUESTS?

Do you pay guests? Is it something you’ve thought about? What do you think?

EDITOR QUESTIONS

What was your process for finding an editor? I’d like to make sure I get fair rates and weed out people who don’t care about doing a good job.

You can see my editing packages at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/editing.

CONTENT IDEAS?

I’d like to ask how you find inspiration for your next podcast episode ideas. Does this come naturally to you? Or you mostly listen to other podcasters for inspiration?

OTHER SHOWS

Any suggestions on how to get on others podcasts to help folks and promote my podcast?

MICROPHONE QUESTIONS

I left my podcast microphones behind when I moved — what’s a good budget-but-still-decent option these days? Is the Blue Yeti still one of the best?

ECHO

How can I reduce echo in the room or reduce sound from outside the room while recording?

HELP FOR YOUR QUESTIONS

This episode is packed full of resources. I think I have a resource for nearly every question.

If you have a question for the show, you can send it to coach (at) podcasttalentcoach.com.
