  Speaker 1: what's going on? My name is Erro. I'm the host
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: of the weekly podcast pod Crashing and Podcrashing one on one.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: These episodes connect listeners to podcasts specialists around the world.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: The goal has always been to inform our podcast community
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: with subjects that deal with everything and beyond. Podcast hosts
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: are usually very open, always filled with a special kind
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: of spear that they love to spread because they are
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: skilled journalists, medical specialists, true crime soldiers, gamblers, motivators, spiritualists, actors,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: and even their children. Trust me, there is a podcast
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: for every single subject. Podcrashing one on one has been
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: around since March of twenty nineteen. The original goal was
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to put focus on helping up and coming podcasters to
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: have the right information about hosting as well as surviving
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: inside the podcasting world. The idea with fifty four episodes
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: before adopting a new idea. Dude, you're talking to the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: podcasters themselves. Why aren't you sharing tips from each and
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: every person. The purpose of podcrashing one on one is
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to help you build your own platform, you know, promote it,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and maybe even earn some money. This is podcrashing one
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: on one. All right. This is a very touchy subject
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and it may ruffle up your feathers, but we're gonna
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: talk about it anyway. Should podcasters be aware of topic
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: changes coming? I mean, when it comes down to it,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: is it or is it not popular? The cold hard
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: facts here. Yes, you should always be aware of topic changes,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: but you should do all you can to keep from
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: chasing them blindedly. You need two very important tools in
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the art of staying focused. Awareness and agility. Awareness and agility.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Tell yourself that over and over and over again. I
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: am a podcaster. I am in touch with my awareness
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and man, I've been blessed with some agility. Bring it on.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Both are very strong to keep you from trend hopping.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: When you come true to yourself, you're gonna notice very
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: easily that any type of popularity shift comes at the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: drop of a hat, no matter what you're doing. Watch
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: or look away that feeling of being popular. Oh, it's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: gonna play hell on your creative school. Culture is always
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: moving way too fast for each and every one of us.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I don't care how great of a podcaster you are.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Culture is always gonna win the race. Topics that once
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: drew in large numbers have actually faded into the sunset.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: New conversations are always going to surface, But what risk
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: are you willing to take? This is when your podcast
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: can instantly sound not in touch. When you repeat yourself,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the audience picks up on it and then decides, I
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: don't know, man, this this voice, it's missing something. I'm
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: not feeling that real moment anymore. Now. Those who've chosen
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to check in remember always have the power to say
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I'm off your podcast stage coming up next. Being aware
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: it doesn't always mean making a change. Hey, thanks for
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: coming back to pod crashing one on one. Being aware Ooh.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: It doesn't always mean you gotta make a change. It's
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: pretty much you telling yourself that, hey, I understand this
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: present day moment. When you decide to trend chase, you're
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: actually telling yourself, hey, we're gonna look at this face
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: to face and our listeners are just gonna have to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: hang out with us. And that's when you face listener erosion.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: The trust is slipping. They know when you're podcast pivoting.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: They either like it or they don't, and they will
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: decide for you what your identity is going to be.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, your long term followers are there with a
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: perspective and they're not always looking for the headlines. The
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: biggest and best podcast keep their core themes always in
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: locked in mode. They don't wave goodbye to the origin.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: The goal, the mission, or the vision is to play
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the game like a smart podcaster, watch patterns, don't invest
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: in those spikes. Oh those things freak me out. Stop
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: worrying about what's trending today. Ask about the same question
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that keep coming up. What frustrations are you facing on
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: a daily basis and is it shifting your performance? And
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: do you want to change your performance? And in doing
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that change what happens to your podcast behavior. Many topics
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: have the superhero strength to outlast true crime. Stay culturally aware,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: adapt thoughtfully, do not abandon your core identity, and finally,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: don't confuse popularity with purpose. Oh, let me say that again.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Don't confuse popularity with purpose. What is your podcast purpose?
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Do you really think it has to be the greatest
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: podcast on the planet. Stop trying to be the early trendsetter.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Being meaningful is always going to win. I'm Marrow and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: that's podcrashing one on one
