Facebook has opted to remove it's current and upcoming podcast features - I discuss that and the potential ramifications. I also dive into why we should be promoting our content more, but producing less of it.You can join Coaching for Geeks on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/464509847072126 But, if you would like to find more TC Universe goodness, here's where you can goThe Instructor Podcast - https://www.theinstructorpodcast.com/Decapod - https://decapod.captivate.fm5 Minute Theory - https://www.tcdrive.co.uk/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/terry.e.cook/Twitter - https://twitter.com/TGBCC

We dive into show notes for podcast with a huge caveat...Do not use these show notes as a guide! In fact, you can probably use these show notes as an example of what not to do. Keep in mind that I am not trying to grow this show.

Apple have recently updated the stats they offer... but they're still a bit crap. We can still use them though and today I talk you through the data provided by Apple, Spotify and Google. I discuss why it's important to use that data and not just the data from your podcast host. You can find each data base here:Apple: https://podcastsconnect.apple.com/Google: https://podcastsmanager.google.com/Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/You can join Coaching for Geeks on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/464509847072126 But, if you would like to find more TC Universe goodness, here's where you can goThe Instructor Podcast - https://www.theinstructorpodcast.com/Decapod - https://decapod.captivate.fm5 Minute Theory - https://www.tcdrive.co.uk/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/terry.e.cook/Twitter - https://twitter.com/TGBCC

When I was asked to be the CFG podcast guy, my first postwas asking what you folks would like me to cover. From that initial post I got4 suggestions, 2 of which I’ve covered was then able to break off additional ideasfrom these suggestions and now how 17 potential topics. All from one post.Asking your audience is a great place to get topic ideas. If you already have a podcast, then ask your current audience.You could ask them via an episode, asking them to email in. Ask on yoursocials, polls are always fun. You could even contact some listeners directly,ask for a chat and ask what they’d like on the show. Perhaps you don’t have an audience yet or haven’t released anepisode yet.Ask elsewhere. Find a relevant Facebook group and ask the question “If I wasto create a podcast about the world’s greatest doorstops, what would you likeme to talk about? What guests would you like on?”If no one answers, ask in another group or different socialplatform.You don’t have to cover every suggestion thrown your way,but you may get some ideas that you’d never have thought of. You may also getsome reassurance around an idea that you are mulling over.Also, keep in mind that you’re likely to be a fan of thething your podcasting about. If you’re not a fan of doorstops, don’t do apodcast on the world’s greatest doorstops! But because you’re a fan, you’llhave ideas about what you would like to hear. Use those ideas. Never ignore yourself.You can join Coaching for Geeks on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/464509847072126 But, if you would like to find more TC Universe goodness, here's where you can goThe Instructor Podcast - https://www.theinstructorpodcast.com/Decapod - https://decapod.captivate.fm5 Minute Theory - https://www.tcdrive.co.uk/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/terry.e.cook/Twitter - https://twitter.com/TGBCC

It’s not the size that matters, it’s what you do with it.Sam O’hare asked a question, back on my original post, aboutthe optimal length of podcasts and the worry of ‘rambling on’. And it’s a great question. Unfortunately, because it’s a question of length, I’m likelyto go into Emma Mellor mode, so please bear with me. There is absolutely no point in having a really big one ifyou don’t make any real impact with it. You can go as big and deep as you want,but if you don’t give the listener what they actually need, then it leaveseveryone unsatisfied. That doesn’t mean that you can’t go big and bold. Just that theend needs to justify the means. Is it a topic that’s worthy of a deep dive? Do you and/oryour guest have the knowledge, ability and stamina to sustain hour longsessions? Or would you bet better off with a quick one?5 minute episodes are extremely popular, but can you get thejob done in that amount of time?These are all things you need to consider when doing your podcast.It genuinely isn’t the size, it’s what you do with it. So experimentation is key here. If you don’t have a podcastyet, play around and record a few episodes, see what suits you best. If youalready have a show, throw out a bonus episode or two with different lengths.See what hits with your audience. And as for waffling?One persons waffle is another persons crumpet.There are some podcasts that I can listen to for hours(literally four hours!) it’s you, it’s your voice. It won’t be for everyone andyou can always listen back or ask someone else to listen and give you feedback.Let me know if this #TerryTuesday has helped, or if you haveany questions.
