    Today we are joined by Voice Over artist Jodi Krangle of VoiceOversandVocals.com check out here Audio Branding Podcast.

    Dave explains that by not telling people where he will be working the tease of not knowing is causing his inbox, his phone, etc to BLOW UP. When you tease your audience it brings them to the edge of their seat. So keep a crumb of information hidden to increase that knowledge gap.

    We also talk about AI and Voice Over, Jodi's tech setup, interfaces, and more (chapters provided)

    Today we delve into the world of format changes in radio shows and how long to test them, comparing the trial durations with TV shows. We discuss the ins and outs of running podcast ads and the complexities of measuring their effectiveness.

    From sharing anecdotes about failed experiments like the ill-fated jingle to recounting the successes of artists like Justin Timberlake, Marky Wahlberg, and members of boy bands who ventured into acting, we explore the intersection of luck, money, and hard work in achieving success. We also spotlight useful podcast tools like PodPage and Ecamm, and debate the future of platforms like StreamYard amid recent acquisitions and staff layoffs.

    We touch on the importance of calls to action in your episodes, strategies for engaging your audience on YouTube, and the impact of AI on podcast production. Plus, you'll hear about notable episodes from other popular podcasts and listener experiences with starting their own shows. So, strap in and get ready for insights, advice, and a few laughs along the way as Dave and Jim guide you through another insightful episode of "Ask the Podcast Coach."

    I saw this post on Reddit where a person was like, "Why even start?! Nobody makes any money? Maybe I should buy $10,000 in gear?

    Um, Yeah, No.

    Why do people get married again. Why do we have kids? Let's talk about it. Also what is the difference between listens and downloads?

    You jump into podcasting. You're excited to get going. I helped some folks this week that hadn't thought things through which reminded me that we need to start with the end in mind, and then work backward.
