Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on? My name is Harrow. I'm the
- 0:01Speaker 1: host of the weekly podcast pod Crashing and pod Crashing
- 0:05Speaker 1: one on one. These episodes connect our listeners to podcast
- 0:09Speaker 1: specialists around the world. The goal has always been to
- 0:13Speaker 1: inform our podcast community with subjects that deal with everything
- 0:17Speaker 1: and beyond, because that's podcasting. Podcast hosts are usually very
- 0:22Speaker 1: open and always filled with a spirit that spreads their
- 0:25Speaker 1: skills as journalists, medical specialists, true crime soldiers, gamblers, motivators, spiritualists, actors,
- 0:31Speaker 1: and even their children. There is a podcast for every subject.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Pod Crashing one on one has been around since March
- 0:39Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen. The original goal was to put focus
- 0:42Speaker 1: on helping up and coming podcasters to have the right
- 0:45Speaker 1: information about hosting as well as surviving. That idea went
- 0:50Speaker 1: fifty four episodes before I took the step. Get some
- 0:54Speaker 1: podcasters in this man, don't just make it about what
- 0:57Speaker 1: your experience is. Get those other guys involved as well.
- 1:01Speaker 1: The purpose of Podcrashing one on one is to help
- 1:04Speaker 1: you build your own platform, to promote it and maybe
- 1:08Speaker 1: even earn some money. This is Podcrashing one on one
- 1:13Speaker 1: episode number four hundred seventy. Should we be putting more
- 1:17Speaker 1: emphasis on localism or is being local kind of out
- 1:22Speaker 1: right now? Well research says we've got a dig, dig,
- 1:27Speaker 1: dig into the deep bowels of what the global game
- 1:30Speaker 1: is all about, and it's starting to take aim and
- 1:33Speaker 1: focus on being more local. But but, but, but but
- 1:37Speaker 1: it's not for everyone. Why would someone want to trade
- 1:40Speaker 1: in their world appeal for Bobby's donut Hut and its
- 1:43Speaker 1: stuff nuts. Localism is proving how much it has the
- 1:47Speaker 1: real power today to make a dent in our listening habits.
- 1:52Speaker 1: The bigger platforms are way way overcrowded. The local agi
- 1:56Speaker 1: podcasting is wide open for you to explore. Instead of
- 2:01Speaker 1: focusing in on stories like one point seven million other
- 2:04Speaker 1: podcasts just like yours, it's time to put some thought
- 2:08Speaker 1: and some love in spotlighting your neighborhood block. How about
- 2:12Speaker 1: your local school boards, artists, basement churches, and local political debates.
- 2:18Speaker 1: The truth is trust is easier to build when you're
- 2:21Speaker 1: being local. The moment, listeners feel like that you're talking
- 2:25Speaker 1: about their bust, their park, and their daily problems. Believe
- 2:29Speaker 1: it or not, local podcast programming is doing its own thing.
- 2:33Speaker 1: It's giving you a voice and people of that town
- 2:37Speaker 1: or city they're following you like you're a world leader. Hey,
- 2:42Speaker 1: coming up next? Should podcasting begin that journey of putting
- 2:46Speaker 1: a little bit more love and light on being local
- 2:49Speaker 1: and not global? Hey, thanks for coming back to podcrashing
- 2:54Speaker 1: one on one. Should podcasting become a journey of putting
- 2:58Speaker 1: a little bit more love and light on local more
- 3:01Speaker 1: than global. First, local stories are scaling better because of neighborhoods.
- 3:08Speaker 1: House fighting has become part of the national crisis. School
- 3:12Speaker 1: budgets different story. It's an issue that can be tackled
- 3:15Speaker 1: inside your own local podcast, and it doesn't have to
- 3:19Speaker 1: be like radio that likes to resurrect its old stories.
- 3:23Speaker 1: As one expert says, being local has become an outpouring
- 3:28Speaker 1: of love as well as light, just like terrestrial radio
- 3:32Speaker 1: once did but got lost along the way. Hosting a
- 3:35Speaker 1: local podcast gets the microphone into the game. City council
- 3:40Speaker 1: members that want to be heard but don't have time
- 3:42Speaker 1: to pull off a podcast, well, here's a hardcore knock
- 3:46Speaker 1: on your heart if you're wanting to do something globally.
- 3:49Speaker 1: If a podcast is trying to be everything to everyone,
- 3:54Speaker 1: it usually becomes nothing to anyone. Ooh rink. The podcasting
- 4:01Speaker 1: continues to grow and they owe it all to a
- 4:04Speaker 1: lot of local podcasters. The biggest and best performers are
- 4:08Speaker 1: swiftly becoming locally grounded with universal survival, faith, doubt, recovery,
- 4:14Speaker 1: and resurrection. Local podcasts should never be locked out as
- 4:19Speaker 1: being something that is smaller than Joe Rogan. Seriously, Joe
- 4:24Speaker 1: would never get as deep as a local podcaster him Merrow,
- 4:28Speaker 1: and that's podcrashing one on one
