• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Aro dot net, a r r oe dot net. It
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: should be like looking at the index of a book. Oh,

  Speaker 1: I want to go listen to that one. Oh, then
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna listen to this one and this one is
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the power of choice. And we learned how to do
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: this on Netflix and Hulu, Ero dot net, r r
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: oe dot net. Enjoy your exploration, Yo, what's going on?
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: My name is Arrow. I am the host of the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: weekly podcast pod Crashing and Podcrashing one on one. These
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: episodes are connecting listeners to podcasts specialists around the world.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: The goal has always been to inform our podcast community
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: with subjects that deal with everything and beyond. The podcast
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: hosts that we talk with are very open and always
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: filled with the spirit that it really does spread their
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: skills as journalists, medical specialists and everything else. Trust me,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: there is a podcast for every subject. Podcrashing one on
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: one has been around since March of twenty nineteen. The
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: original goal was to put focus on helping up and
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: coming podcasters to have the right information about hosting as
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: well as surviving inside the podcast world. The purpose of
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Podcrashing one on one is to help you build your
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: own platform, promote it, and maybe even make some money.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: This is Podcrashing one on one episode number four hundred
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: eighty seven. Can podcast hosts become interview whores? Ooh yeah,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: interview whores just by never saying no to another interview?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: The subject is brought up in many many podcast circles.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: And I am so guilty of being weighed down by
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the human being's desire to get to know other people.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I am and I officially announce this and interview or
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: what are the bad effects associated with this description? Delusion
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: of the brand? A podcast can lose its identity. Podcast
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: followers check in not for the interview, but research shows
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: it's all about the connection with the host, his or
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: her taste and curation. Now, if every episode is an interview,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: listeners are going to stop supporting the episodes because nothing
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: feels important. A total loss of credibility so what are
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: followers picking up on? Then? How about constant book launches,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: pr driven guests. I mean, everybody's got something to sell, right,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Plus what makes your guest any different than their next interview?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: This is the very reason why I could never share
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: a talk with Justin Bieber. Seriously, what is the dude
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: going to say that he hasn't already said? This is
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: what I mean when I'm talking about when listeners tap
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: into a host tastes and curation, are you giving them
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: a big enough variety? Have real talk and stop being
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the in. There's so much more to you than that. Hey,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: coming up next facing audience fatigue because you are an
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: interview horror. It's coming up next. Hey, thanks for coming
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: back to podcrashing one on one facing that audience with fatigue,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: because if you're like me, you are an interview whore.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Listeners get absolutely burned out almost too quickly. But that's
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: what happens when streaming gives you the power of choice. Okay, So,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: as a podcaster, you need to put focus on balance
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: feature your interviews with solo commentary, storytelling, and the even
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: dreaded panel discussions. The calling is to tighten up your gait.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: So that your podcast can have a clear voice. The
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: greatest rule to follow. If the guest doesn't make your
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: listener feel smarter and entertained or even surprised, then you
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: got to say no to the interview. Podcasting has weakened
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: it self out because of that blurred line it's created
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: between authentic interviews and a promotion. Some podcast function like journalism,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: while others are pr tools. Get them on and then
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: get them off. Hurry up and post it. When hosts
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: don't have a follow up question, or they challenge your
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: guests in thinking deeper, it's a signal to the listeners
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that this thing is nothing more than a stunt and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: he's trying to save it. When your interview sounds like
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: an extended advertisement, do not be afraid to wander off
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the subject. Oh yeah, those PR people will be pissed.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing you gotta look out for you.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: It's your show. They are the guests. I'm Marrow and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: that's podcrashing one on one
