Beyond Adversity with Dr. Brad Miller Reviewed
Dr. Brad Miller is writing a book and wanted to start building and audience so he launched the show Beyond Adversity with Dr. Brad Miller. His current description in Apple Podcasts is:Beyond Adversity with Dr. Brad Miller is all about the belief that every person has a God-given promised life of peace, prosperity, and purpose. And that you must implement a planned pathway with the proper people to quickly overcome adversity and depression to achieve that promised life. Dr. Brad Miller teaches practical strategies to defeat depression and live a life of joy as well as interviews successful people who have overcome great adversity to arrive at a place of peace, prosperity and purpose.His website is https://www.drbradmiller.com/What We Liked About ItThe intro had a nice vibe with the music. You introduced the guest before the intro clip so people had the context of who he was.You had a nice transition into the interview. The website has a nice clean look. The audio sounded good.You did a good job of promoting future episodes.What We Thought Needed TweakedYou introduced the guest multiple times. Once is all we need.Your guest somewhat ran away with the interview. Instead of making it a three-part interview, identify the key turning point, and get to that content as quickly as possible. Leave the rest on the editing room floor.While the guest fit one of your "D's" (Depression), the stakes weren't very high in a way that made me wonder, "What is going to happen next."Have a lead magnet for your newsletter. Give them a reason to sign up.The audio had some "interesting timing," which you later explained was caused by a cold.

Metal Mayhem ROC

Metal Mayhem ROC
DescriptionPodcast Review Show – Get Your Podcast Reviewed Weekly podcast dedicated to supporting heavy metal music in every way possible. Hosted and produced by Jon “The Vernomatic ‘’ Verno, Metal Mayhem Roc presents a blend of feature interviews with heavy metal legends and stars of tomorrow. With in house created content like ”Streaming for Vengeance”, ” Mount Rushmore of Metal” ‘Metal Confessions” and the “Business of Metal “you, the listener, is left both educated and entertained.With an emphasis on presentation and professional industry audio imagery, Metal Mayhem ROC is your go-to source for everything metal.Website: https://www.metalmayhemroc.com/This is a Special EpisodeToday Jon "THE VERNOMATIC" Vernon paid to have us listen to TWO episodes of his show. Hence there is a bit more feedback, but also, at the end of every show the guest is allowed to ask as many questions as they want (which really adds value in addition to having two consultants at the same time) and Jon had some really good questions (and we kept them in). Also, the power went out as we were recording you won't hear Erik or Jon at the end. What We Liked About This EpisodesJon has just the right amount of energy on the microphone.Dave loved the trivia that had him learning new things.You all have passion for the subject.You did a great job of introducing the panel and getting to the topicThe intro leaves no doubt that this is a Metal showThe tease at the end of the show really left us wanting more.Erik found the story of the upstart record label fascinating.The artwork on the website is amazing.What We Thought Could Use Some PolishingOn the interview show, your tease gave away the whole storyThere was some tapping on the table(?) and of course, Dave caught the popping P's and ums.Dave found some of the details about the bands that he didn't know and didn't get to hear dull.The recap episode, it was very much like a Wikipedia entry. There are facts but no personalityMake your "blog" into the "listen" part of your website and embed the player from your media host. When you force feed people into an app (Spotify) that can rub people the wrong way. Embed a spotify player in the blog posts (making them "episodes) and then have links to subscribe to Apple, Spotify, Google, and Amazon in each episode (and maybe a page on your website to make it simple)There are times when you sound like you're doing radio (group speak, "Hey everybody") when people don't listen in groups. They listen in the car or in earbuds, etc. "Thanks for listening, I'm so glad you're here (singular). Inject your personalities into the show. Look at that Metal Show on VH1 Classic where they would have to compile a list. This pulls the audience in as they try to decide if they agree with you or not. You can do this without turning into endless arguments. Jon mentioned you had a timer.

One, a completely clear call to action.Great length. You said what you needed to say, and left.The "three things" is a great way to summarize the episode.Audio sounded great, and the musical branding was nice.What We Thought Might Need Some TweakingCraig scripts this show and for 90% of it, his reading is fine, but at times we need a little more smile, and some pauses. Some of the color choices on the website make it slightly hard to read in some places.Craig's old branding is on his mastodon community.Add a few more stories when you make a point (if possible)Maybe add a "so that you can" to the introPotentially add a specific question, "Have you ever done a little thing that ended up with big results?

The Skeptic Metaphysicians
Today we are looking at the Skeptic Metaphysicians. Their description is, "Like Mulder from the X-Files, we want to believe. So we've embarked on a journey of discovery. We've talked to people deeply entrenched in the spiritual, metaphysical, mental health and self-help worlds. We've thrown ourselves into weird and wonderful experiences, and we're sharing them with you in an effort to find the trick to self-growth. Whether your interests lie in the metaphysical or the spiritual or even grounded in the three-dimensional world, this show will help you explore the endless possibilities of self-growth....tinged with a hint of the supernatural. New episodes every Wednesday!Check out their website at www.skepticmetaphysician.comWhat We Liked About the ShowSome really good questions were askedYou did a GREAT job of being skeptical without being cynical (a very safe space)You didn't interrupt the guest when they were in the thick of a storyWe loved your description of the showYou did a great job of stepping into the shoes of your guest.You take the show seriously but still kept it light.The website looks great using PodpageYour "final" answer showed vulnerability and was amazing.Great job explaining the roles (scientist) of the people involved.The podcast sounds great.What We Thought Needed TweakedWe loved your description, but it took a little long to get to that descriptionWho is Karen? (neither the episode or the website answered this question).You (in some cases) ask a question and add a description/backstory. Flip the content around and set up the question and ask the question last (so the guest hears the question last).Don't forget to use people's names when you have multiple hosts.Get comfortable with awkward pausesUse one call to action (and rotate if needed).

Author, security researcher, and behavior science enthusiast Perry Carpenter taps experts for their insights and illumination. Topics include cybersecurity, psychology, behavior science, communication, leadership, and moreWebsite: https://8thlayerinsights.com/Things You're Doing CorrectThe audio production is amazing.The sidekick of "Carl" was creativeAsked some really good questions and stayed out of the guest's way.As the episode isn't super long, the summaries at the end of a point signaled you were moving on to a new point.Loved the insights and vulnerabilityThe website is clean and very usefulVery well put togetherThings That Might Need Some BufferingThe show needs an intro to explain "Here is what we do here." You explain it later in the show. I would move it to the beginning of the show. The description really suggests a name change. Start with the end in mind, and look at who hires you to speak? If you're trying to spotlight soft skills, then tie them back to cyber security.The name is somewhat inside baseball. Maybe add a tagline to make it easier to get foundI would’ve added a link to the sponsor and the steve king book in your show notes.

Topics covered include, but are not limited to, history, science, geography, and culture. The website is https://everything-everywhere.com/everything-everywhere-daily-podcast What We Liked About the Podcast Good use of Audible. Nice job of going the extra mile to make the sponsor fit the show. You have a good tease to open the show. Great presentation. Very natural sounding. Nice shout out to the listener at the end (where this type of content belongs). Nice story arc Your photography is amazing on your website. Easy to find subscribe buttons on your website. What You Might Try In the Future You don't mention your website. For Dave, there were too many details (who is this for?). There is music for the sake of nothing. Add a voice over to that to help explain the show. Change the link on your gear page so it opens in a new window. In Libsyn add your JioSaavn destination. There isn't much about you or your unique past (at least in this episode). There is no close to the show. It just ends.

The Colon Health Podcast
Aug 18 2021
The Colon Health Podcast
Today Dave and Erik review The Colon Health Podcast. Their description in Apple is, "Interviews with the world's leading professionals and experts in gastroenterology, research, nutritional science, medical technology, and more. If it impacts your colon health, we cover it here on the Colon Health Podcast. Hosted by Dr. Dac Teoli." Their website is https://www.colonoscopy.com/podcast/ What We Liked About The Show The intro is solid and gives you what you need. The phrase, "We have three big problems" really caught my attention (it's a great setup). I learned some stuff I could use at a dinner party. The host has great pipes. I love the “to be fair” and showing of both sides of the data. Really positioned the other Dr. Dale as the Expert. The website made it easy to find the podcast. Some Things You Might Try Moving Forward Add more about the benefit to the listener. You give lots of stats/data early in the episode. Numbers are hard to follow in audio. You can put the stats in the show description and direct people to the website. Erik thought you could sound friendlier, and Dave thought spelling the website and name was a little odd. You introduce the guest, and then we don't hear from him for a LONG TIME. Then you just dump the show into his lap, and he talks for a LONG TIME. It had the feel like you were doing a presentation instead of a conversation. At the end of the show, give the listener a benefit to take action. If possible (realizing Doctors may not be that tech savvy) get them off the phone. It was good that you sounded good and were on a microphone You have some "group Speak." Phrases such as, "Our listeners out there”, etc. “To you, our listener.” Who else would it be? A fair amount of calls to action at the end, and be sure to explain the benefits of those calls to action Mentioned in this episode:Again, don't miss this webinar.

The Pharmacist's Voice
Jun 30 2021
The Pharmacist's Voice
Today Dave Jackson from the School of Podcasting and Erik K. Johnson from Podcast Talent Coach take a look at the Pharmacist's Voice hosted by Kim Newlove. Here is the description of the podcast: The Pharmacist’s Voice The Pharmacist's Voice Podcast is a weekly, journey-style podcast about Ohio pharmacist Kim Newlove's career change from pharmacist to voice actor. She alternates solo shows and interview shows. The solo shows are about her career change, and the interview shows feature a variety of people who use their voices to advocate, educate, or entertain. What We Liked About the Show Kim does a good job explaining why the guest is on a show and has a clear idea of who should (and shouldn't be on her show). Kim does a good job of bringing the guest back on topic. Her audio sounds great. Her website is a PHENOMENAL example of someone who has a business AND a podcast and doesn't bury the podcast while keeping the business front and center. Some Things That Could Use Some Tweaking Kim is a voice actor, so her diction is perfect. Towards the end of the show, we conclude that when she slows down the speed of her talking it makes it appear that her diction and delivery is a bit stiff. Her demo is amazing and filled with energy. We want more of that. While Kim's website does a great job of promoting her business, she barely mentions her services in the podcast. She does ask people to visit her website but could boost this effort by explaining why. We provide a few examples of how to tie her business into her podcast. Conclusion As a journey podcast, Kim's podcast has already resulted in her getting some voice work. With 100 episodes under her belt, she is doing a lot of things correctly. He website is a great website where everything appears planned, and her brand just oozes professionalism. We wish her all the best.

The show doesn't mention authors, and it would help to tie any strategies back to authors. Dave felt you repeating what the guest just said was not helpful. Remove Google Play from you website and add Google Podcasts and Spotify. (maybe make a subscribe page with directions) While there is an "About" for the podcast, We need a paragraph to answer, “Why should I listen to Susan?” The call to action would come across better if it came from you. The WordPress theme you are on is from a company that went out of business. Check out Second Line Themes. The answers were very technical. Get the guest to tell some stories. Engage. Examples. Lots of “schedule appointment” buttons. You ask “Need help with book marketing?” Is that the real pain? or is it “get noticed” “sell more books” “become a best seller”? “Contact” is just “schedule an appointment” again. Maybe e-mail or phone. Check Out Book Marketing Mentors Website: https://www.bookmarketingmentors.com/ Mentioned in this episode:Again, don't miss this webinar.

PAYPOD​ THE PAYMENTS AND FINTECH PODCAST

PAYPOD​ THE PAYMENTS AND FINTECH PODCAST
Today we look at Paypod the payments and fintech podcast. Here is their description from Apple podcasts: Welcome to PayPod, a show that explores the fast-changing world of payments and fintech. The show features interviews with leaders and entrepreneurs in the payments and fintech industries. Each episode, you’ll hear an interview directly with a leader of the payments industry. We talk with fintech entrepreneurs, security experts, mobile developers, eCommerce pros, and more... From credit card processing to bitcoin... from retail point of sale systems to cutting edge digital payments software… merchant accounts. mobile checkout, lending marketplaces, and beyond… we cover it all! What We Liked About the Show Once the interview started Scott seemed very relaxed and enjoyed having a conversation with his guest. While there was some "Bitcoin Rah Rah" it wasn't 100% a pep rally for bitcoin. Great short introduction that gets right to the point It was a good discussion about cryptocurrency itself worldwide. You do a good job balancing the discussion of the app with the discussion of the industry overall. The courage to cover contrarian views was great, and you did a great job of setting up the guest and then getting out of his way as his passion came through. I liked that you attempted to skip the guest's backstory (even though he admittedly went on some tangents). The website was clean and does a great job of having a podcast page without distracting from the business. Things That Might Need Improved You really need to determine who this show is for and talk specifically to that audience. There may be more than one type of listener, but you really need to embrace one. Erik thought a bit more on the benefit of the show for the listener. How am I going to benefit? Leave yourself a little room at the beginning of that before the discussion starts to demonstrate your authority in this space and what you do and how you help people. Not sure what you could do about this, but an Australian only app cuts out a chunk of the world. A walk through of the process of the app, what it does, and why I would use it. A fair amount of jargon. Depending on who the audience is, you might need to explain some of the terms. The guest had mentioned he had authored a book, and you mentioned you would put a link in the show notes (but didn't). You did a great job of having a single call to action, but that one call to action wasn't in alignment with your goals. You had stated you wanted more feedback on the topics that interest the audience. If this is the true goal, you need to specify this as your call to action. Add some more obvious subscribe buttons (instead of links) in the episodes (it is all about the subscribers).

Where are They Now? Adam Kinakin From Tactical Breakdown
Today Dave and Erik touch base with Adam from Tactical Breakdown to see how his podcast is doing since the last time we reviewed his show. Adam niched down to his audience, and really focused on his target audience and realized not everyone is his audience. Adam has delegated the production work to a company that allows him to focus more on the courses and live events. He started and launched an online training program, and now does his podcast full time. Adam had questions about creating an Amazon Flash Briefing (and we explain there is a difference between an Amazon Skill, and an Amazon Flash Briefing). Adam also has people in his audience and industry to have Adam consult on running their event, and help with their podcast. Adam updated his intro based on our suggestions and fixed the audio issues he had in the past. Check out Adam at https://www.thebreakdown.ca/ and check out his monthly roundtable for instructors and SMEs Listen on Apple, Spotify, Google. at https://www.thebreakdown.ca/ Let Us Help You Improve Your Podcast Come on the Podcast Review Show so we can help you do more of the things that are working, and identify those things that might need to be tweaked. Sign up You can find Erik at PodcastTalentCoach.com You can find Dave at SchoolofPodcasting.com This show is part of the Power of Podcasting Network.

Tactical Breakdown

Tactical Breakdown
Description Get actionable training and tactics from the best Law Enforcement, Military, and Emergency Response instructors in the world. Join us on our quest to make you, your agency, and your community safer. Our goal is to bring you a platform that gives an in-depth look at the most current training, tactics, and technology used by today's top Law Enforcement, Military, and Security experts. Our Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) bring you their real-world knowledge and experiences and breakdown the incidents, operations, and personal stories that influenced them. We are proud to have partnered with organizations from across Canada to raise awareness of Mental Health and Crisis Response for our First Responders, LEOs, Active & Veteran Military Members, and Security Personnel across the world. We will be bringing on experts to share information and resources that you can use yourself, another person, or your organization. What We Liked Great energy. Great guest Glad that reminded me who the guest is and why he's there. Good job of explaining CCTM might do that more often. Nice job of talking to one person most of the time. Nice job of teasing “coming up on the podcast” (maybe get more specific). Have a good shift – you really know your listener. Nice job of staying out of the guest's way, and letting him state his opinion. Nice job asking the guest to clarify. Nice focused call to action. Great resources and easy contact page. The website is easy to navigate. What Might Need a Little Polish A lot of history of the guest. Do we need all of his backstories? Your volume needs adjusting during the intro. Have a first question that gets into the content instead of a generic history question. Some low hanging ums, but not enough to worry about. No way to share episodes. If you're using an iframe, those are horrible for SEO. White text on a black background can be taxing on the eyes. The occasional use of group speak. Your newsletter needs more of an incentive.

Leadership Jam Session
May 20 2020
Leadership Jam Session
Description Rob Fonte is the host of the Leadership Jam Session Podcast, where every other week you'll get to hear leaders at all levels of management share their practical solutions to the management challenges you face every day. On this podcast, Rob shares leadership experiences with listeners by bringing in leaders from all different levels to “Jam” on a variety of leadership topics. Some of the best insights are captured from just listening and learning from each other as they share their experiences. More importantly, we learn to see things through the lens of a different perspective and how to move forward with a different approach. With that concept in mind, the Leadership Jam Session podcast was born. Be sure to stay up to date at leadershipjamsession.com. What We Liked About it Great short introductions and you got right to the contentThe intro identifies who the show is for and what to expect.Great stories and insights from your guestsGreat transitions from speaker to speaker and getting everyone involvedI liked the occasional summary of what your guests said.You had a great space for guests to be vulnerable and share insights. What Might Need Some Polish Do a quick recap of the question when getting others involved.“almost out of time” is a holdover from the radio.Always talk to one person and avoid group speakWork more of who you are and why people should listen.Maybe work the guest's name in more so we know who is talking.Direct people to the website for calls to action.Add a Google Podcasts to the website and update Captivate to show subscribe buttonsPosition yourself as the expert and do a summary of “what did we learn” to inject YOU into the content.Determine who your true target audience member is and design the content with them in mind.

You get right to it.Lovely Dirty Harry ImitationThe website looks amazing and very professionalIt's precise. You make your point and get out.

Bullying, Life, and Stuff
Mar 24 2020
Bullying, Life, and Stuff
Description Rhonda Orr is the president and founder of Rhonda's STOP BULLYING Foundation. On this podcast, she expands on the newspaper advice columns she writes with Dr. Cheri L. McDonald, “Dear Rhonda & Dr. Cheri..” Rhonda speaks directly to you, with real-world, actionable adviceFind the show at https://bullyinglifeandstuff.com What We Liked About The Show The audio quality was great and Rhonda has an authentic passion for this topic and it comes through.The opening got right to the pointNice clip to open the show that really hit homeThe website has a nice clean look and easy to navigate.Good job of boosting the theater of the mindGood call to action at the end of the show What Needed Some Tweaking Some confusions with wording coming from a column to a podcast “She/Her”The intro was a bit long and you might want to focus in who is the show for, and what the goal of the show is for. Then right an intro to really pull in the listeners and use the parts of your background that fit the goal of the show (credentials that don't fit aren't needed).Dr. Cheri got a lot of attention for someone who is not on the show, and is barely on the website. Also do we care that she is from West Lake Villiage?If the goal is to get more speaking gigs, add some pictures of you in that setting to the website. You might also consider mentioning it to the audience. Example: “I was speaking to some high school kids….”The 12 seconds of music at the end could be faded out at the end.This opening really isn't focused on anyone. “from business management to fear”, but we are talking about bullying. Who are we really trying to reach? Additional Comments As Rhonda is transitioning to a new podcast and website, when the podcast isn't tied to the structure of the column this will free you up to speak more from the heart, and loosen up a bit (not that you were stiff). We look forward to hearing Bully Buster when it becomes available.
