"Content dripping is how we use our podcast content to create other assets that not only hook people in and have them join our community, but actually spend a good amount of time with us, coming to know, like, and trust us so that it becomes a no brainer for them to open their wallet up to us when they're ready." - Deirdre Tshien

When Roe vs Wade was overturned, did you wonder how you could help?
"Every podcaster has a voice" is the common language in the industry, but what happens when the voices combine to advocate for change? That is precisely what Arielle did with the recent Roe vs. Wade overturned issue. She posted a call to action on Twitter which exploded into people rallying around the effort and offering to play a consistent host read ad at the beginning of their episodes.
It's a simple but powerful way where we collectively can influence a topic. But, as Arielle shares, this is just the beginning, and future causes will be added as the idea expands.
Key Topics:
· What is the call to action you have asked podcasters to do (3:33)
· What were the expectations going into this idea (9:18)
· What pushback from the effort has there been since it started (13:05)
· How could others jump on board and help support other efforts (16:27)

What is the worst hot mic moment you have had in podcasting?
Today Mathew opens up about a trend in the industry with the quality of guests and the worst hot mic moment he has had during a live recording. Even though it’s just audio, an interview is still a conversation, and the quality matters.

Have you ever felt that your podcast feels more like a stale bag of chips?
I think every podcaster goes through a stage where they get unsure of what comes next, what do I change, or is this still my passion. Talking into a microphone in an empty room or hosting conversations over the internet, keeping the connection alive to your purpose is key to long-term success.
What got you here won't always get you there. Realize where you started this journey doesn't have to be where you stay. We are all climbing a mountain, and as we climb, we might get a better view of the horizon and see a different opportunity; it's ok, as they say, it's about the journey, not the destination. Today on Podcast Me Anything, we deep dive into what you do, how you know when you are there, and what to do about it.
· Why do people stop listening to podcasts (1:45)
· Anchor adds Video to podcasts inside Spotify (1:55)
· When does it make sense to use Anchor (5:32)
· Does the Riverside.fm integration make it worth switching (9:42)
· How to know if your podcast is getting stale (12:16)
· Preventing burnout when your podcast is over two years old (16:17)
· Figuring out what is real and what's not when it comes to podcasting (23:54)
· Making changes when you don't always get feedback when you ask for it (25:41)
