00:00:00.341 --> 00:00:03.732
Ask the Podcast Coach for September 14th 2024.
00:00:03.732 --> 00:00:06.631
Let's get ready to podcast.
00:00:06.631 --> 00:00:09.984
There it is, it's that music.
00:00:09.984 --> 00:00:11.410
That means it's Saturday morning.
00:00:11.410 --> 00:00:16.513
It's time for Ask the Podcast Coach, where you get your podcast questions answered live.
00:00:16.513 --> 00:00:24.150
I'm Dave Jackson from theschoolofpodcastingcom, and joining me right over there is the one and only Jim Cullison from TheAverageGuytv.
00:00:24.150 --> 00:00:26.184
Jim, how's it going, buddy?
00:00:26.926 --> 00:00:27.469
Greetings, dave.
00:00:27.469 --> 00:00:28.925
Happy Saturday morning to you.
00:00:28.925 --> 00:00:29.246
Happy.
00:00:29.246 --> 00:00:33.710
I got some lessons learned from remember last week the roofers came.
00:00:33.710 --> 00:00:39.784
Yeah, yeah, I got some podcasting, like Dave Jackson style, so maybe a little bit later.
00:00:39.784 --> 00:00:44.021
Lessons learned from watching your roofers do their job.
00:00:44.021 --> 00:00:46.363
Anyway, it's great to be back on a Saturday morning.
00:00:46.503 --> 00:00:54.308
And I should say right now, if you have children in the car, there are going to be naughty words said today, just a few.
00:00:54.308 --> 00:01:06.257
But just so you know, I'm going to do something that I normally don't do and I've got some stuff that I can't wait to play you because I just yeah, but we'll get to that.
00:01:08.361 --> 00:01:09.149
Will you beep those out?
00:01:09.168 --> 00:01:12.367
I will bleep those out in the audio, yes, when you hear this later in post.
00:01:12.367 --> 00:01:18.668
But if you're watching live I'm not that good and so that's going to be fun.
00:01:18.668 --> 00:01:22.611
But you know what's great to wash down some profanity with.
00:01:22.611 --> 00:01:27.367
You know, when you're like, all this profanity makes me thirsty.
00:01:27.367 --> 00:01:35.186
Come on, I thought there was some coffee.
00:01:35.186 --> 00:01:42.219
Here we go, here we go, and that coffee pour is brought to you by my good friend, mark, who's Canadian.
00:01:42.219 --> 00:01:44.701
You know there's no profanity coming from Mark.
00:01:44.701 --> 00:01:45.923
He's Canadian.
00:01:45.923 --> 00:01:47.364
You know there's no profanity coming from Mark.
00:01:47.364 --> 00:01:47.665
He's polite.
00:01:47.685 --> 00:01:59.075
And over at podcastbrandingco I've used Mark for pretty much the last probably four or five podcasts, whether it's Ask the Podcast Coach, school of Podcasting, podcast Rodeo, your podcast website, podcast Hot Seat.
00:01:59.075 --> 00:02:02.316
So I'm talking about this because he's good.
00:02:02.316 --> 00:02:08.966
He's really that good and he's going to do so much more than anybody on any of those discount websites.
00:02:08.966 --> 00:02:22.138
Because he's going to sit down with you one on one and kind of ask you like, what is your show about, what's the vibe, what's the feel, and then let him do the marketing stuff so that it fits your show and it's just everything.
00:02:22.138 --> 00:02:23.883
It just seamlessly flows together.
00:02:24.306 --> 00:02:25.521
He's been doing this forever.
00:02:25.521 --> 00:02:29.116
He's got over 500 pieces of artwork and he's not just an artwork guy.
00:02:29.116 --> 00:02:33.728
If you need a whole website, you want to talk about getting a whole brand redone?
00:02:33.728 --> 00:02:34.950
He can do websites.
00:02:34.950 --> 00:02:37.584
He can do PDFs, he can do business cards, he can do artwork.
00:02:37.584 --> 00:02:41.881
If it's anything that you want people to see you, they're going to see you.
00:02:41.881 --> 00:02:48.673
Before they hear you, there's only one place to go, and that is podcastbrandingco and tell him.
00:02:48.673 --> 00:02:49.735
Dave and Jim sent him.
00:02:54.381 --> 00:02:58.920
Big thanks to our good friend, dan Lefebvre over there, based on a true story based on truestorypodcastcom.
00:02:58.920 --> 00:03:00.643
This week historical events, if you want to head out there this week.
00:03:00.643 --> 00:03:19.735
Historical events If you want to head out there 300, the Rise of an Empire, united 93, a Star-Spangled Story, battle for America and the Exorcism, which one of these things is not like the other.
00:03:19.735 --> 00:03:28.763
The Exorcism of Emily Rose is out there, and if you need something new to listen to or you just want to hear how well a podcast is done, check out Dan over there, based on true story podcastcom.
00:03:28.763 --> 00:03:31.385
Dan, thanks for your sponsorship.
00:03:31.828 --> 00:03:33.443
See, that makes me cause.
00:03:33.443 --> 00:03:39.949
Anytime you hear based on a true story and the word exorcism, that makes you want to kind of go wait.
00:03:39.949 --> 00:03:42.506
What Like, how much of that is true.
00:03:42.506 --> 00:03:49.704
The other thing I want to say thanks what Like, how much of that is true.
00:03:49.704 --> 00:03:53.319
The other thing I want to say thanks to Dan for is somebody in a Facebook group had said hey, did you guys hear that StreamYard's price is going up by 80%?
00:03:54.020 --> 00:04:00.766
And Dan was nice enough to point them towards a post I have on the School of Podcasting and I'll put a link to that in the show notes.
00:04:00.766 --> 00:04:04.068
If you go there now to the front page, you'll see there's a whole thing on StreamYard.
00:04:04.068 --> 00:04:04.669
That in the show notes.
00:04:04.669 --> 00:04:11.385
If you go there now to the front page, you'll see there's a whole thing on StreamYard and it just talks about the difference between EVMOOCs and, you know, ecamm and all the other fun places.
00:04:11.385 --> 00:04:13.951
So thanks, dan, for the quick little shout out on that.
00:04:13.951 --> 00:04:17.788
All right, so I'm first of all again this there.
00:04:17.788 --> 00:04:22.286
I'm going to play you two things and the question is going to go back to the oh yeah that would be good.
00:04:22.545 --> 00:04:23.487
I just want to look at my.
00:04:23.487 --> 00:04:24.649
There we go.
00:04:24.790 --> 00:04:26.172
I mean we can give Dan the whole show.
00:04:29.781 --> 00:04:33.649
But the question is going to be which one of these would you listen to?
00:04:33.649 --> 00:04:36.802
Okay, so this is now again.
00:04:36.802 --> 00:04:37.463
This has some.
00:04:37.463 --> 00:04:43.173
So if you've been on an elementary playground around sixth graders, you've probably heard these words.
00:04:43.173 --> 00:04:50.591
But the and I'm going to you know they asked for feedback on their show in Facebook, so this is my feedback.
00:04:50.591 --> 00:04:53.827
The show is called no One Is Listening Anyway.
00:04:53.827 --> 00:04:54.672
Now for the record.
00:04:54.672 --> 00:04:55.795
That sounds clever.
00:04:55.795 --> 00:05:00.351
There are multiple shows called no One Is Listening Anyway, so that would be my first advice.
00:05:00.351 --> 00:05:07.562
They also have naughty words in their description which Apple really doesn't like, so keep that in mind.
00:05:07.562 --> 00:05:15.505
But this one, the title is Rage Against the Time Machine, and so it goes, and I'm playing this from Apple Podcasts.
00:05:15.505 --> 00:05:16.588
I'm hoping this is going to work.
00:05:17.081 --> 00:05:17.752
How long is this?
00:05:17.812 --> 00:05:20.906
clip, dave, we're going to listen to about.
00:05:20.906 --> 00:05:24.524
Let's go two minutes, all right, so we're going to you know how?
00:05:24.685 --> 00:05:25.353
folks listen.
00:05:25.353 --> 00:05:26.500
Sometimes I listen to clips.
00:05:26.500 --> 00:05:28.105
I'm like god, when is this thing gonna be old?
00:05:28.105 --> 00:05:29.228
Yeah, so we're gonna.
00:05:29.490 --> 00:05:36.442
We're gonna sit here and watch dim jim and I stare at nothing, because if I had it on the same screen that I'm sharing my screen, we couldn't hear it.
00:05:36.442 --> 00:05:41.062
So this is actually on another machine, but just maybe not a full two minutes, but you'll get the.
00:05:41.062 --> 00:05:42.548
You'll get the gist of it here.
00:05:42.548 --> 00:05:46.242
To listen to explicit episodes, I need to sign in.
00:05:46.242 --> 00:05:47.264
I did not know that.
00:05:47.264 --> 00:05:48.146
Did you know that, jim?
00:05:48.187 --> 00:06:02.293
that if you want to listen to things, on age verification or something going on along those lines which again is kind of funny in a way, cause again, if you go to, I mean you know, wait, I don't want to create it.
00:06:02.293 --> 00:06:07.761
Oh, that's because I have a typo.
00:06:07.761 --> 00:06:09.064
I'm like, why is it making me create a new account?
00:06:09.064 --> 00:06:11.389
And it's because, I see, it's the pressure of typing in front of people.
00:06:12.370 --> 00:06:15.603
All right, because now I'm going to have to go While you're getting that set up.
00:06:15.603 --> 00:06:19.511
As far as profanity goes right, should you do it?
00:06:19.511 --> 00:06:20.413
Shouldn't you do it?
00:06:20.413 --> 00:06:21.334
That's up to you, right.
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.369
Go ahead, you do it, that's up, yeah, right, but just go ahead, and to their credit, they did.
00:06:29.369 --> 00:06:35.906
They do have their show marked as explicit kudos for them, for you know, I guess in theory you know you want to let people know for the week, then if you're beeping, out.
00:06:35.906 --> 00:06:38.031
No, if I beep it out, it'll be clean.
00:06:38.031 --> 00:06:39.980
So that's the good news.
00:06:39.980 --> 00:06:43.324
Okay, so we are now signed in nice, save, by the way.
00:06:43.324 --> 00:06:43.764
Thank you, joe.
00:06:43.764 --> 00:06:48.891
All right, here we go welcome to.
00:06:48.992 --> 00:06:50.994
No one is listening anyway.
00:06:50.994 --> 00:07:06.771
It's a podcast where we chat, give you some good news, give you some interesting facts, share a little bit of our weekly rage and have some input from our listeners on our listeners segment, and we are now on episode 10.
00:07:06.771 --> 00:07:09.173
My goodness Of series two.
00:07:09.173 --> 00:07:13.708
Yes, yes, we've done quite a fair bit of episodes now.
00:07:13.708 --> 00:07:17.791
Honestly, just bare episodes, bare so many.
00:07:17.791 --> 00:07:18.824
Have you had a good week?
00:07:18.843 --> 00:07:28.874
this week it's been okay, this was my last weekend off before we start the big thing at work yeah, it's next week, isn't it?
00:07:28.874 --> 00:07:29.180
For the?
00:07:29.221 --> 00:07:31.468
next yeah, and I'm on, stop, take this week.
00:07:31.468 --> 00:07:39.814
So I've basically got nine weeks of hell, absolute hell on earth, and this was my last weekend off, so I was really looking forward to it.
00:07:39.814 --> 00:07:41.841
And then I got cold.
00:07:41.841 --> 00:07:43.303
No, did it knock you out?
00:07:43.303 --> 00:07:48.634
Yeah, and I was at it, only a cold, and it's going a bit on my chest.
00:07:48.634 --> 00:07:53.192
I've got a bit of a cough, but it just f***ing cattled me.
00:07:53.192 --> 00:07:56.166
I was asleep basically all of Saturday.
00:07:56.166 --> 00:07:57.932
That's so annoying, isn't it?
00:07:57.932 --> 00:08:01.350
I really wanted to do some nice stuff and I don't know, just enjoy.
00:08:01.980 --> 00:08:03.964
It was a nice day, Saturday as well, wasn't it?
00:08:03.964 --> 00:08:04.447
Oh no, wait.
00:08:04.687 --> 00:08:05.670
Okay, that's enough for me.
00:08:05.670 --> 00:08:12.288
You know, Now I'm going to play you something, and this is courtesy of Pod News.
00:08:12.288 --> 00:08:16.987
So we're going to actually, just because I didn't ask him permission, I'm going to play the whole beginning of this.
00:08:16.987 --> 00:08:36.533
So you're going to hear a little plug for Pod News a little plug for Buzzsprout podcast hosting made easy.
00:08:38.321 --> 00:08:42.091
All right, welcome in everybody ready to decode some podcast stats.
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.249
Always ready to dive into the numbers, especially with this guide.
00:08:45.249 --> 00:08:48.126
You've got how to understand podcaststatspdf.
00:08:48.126 --> 00:08:50.485
Got some real gold in there.
00:08:50.820 --> 00:08:56.291
That's what this deep dive is all about, right Getting you those golden insights to actually use for your show.
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:00.080
Not just skimming the surface, but really understanding what matters Exactly.
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:07.590
So right off the bat, this article tackles a big one, something I know trips up even experienced folks' downloads versus listens.
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:10.850
Yeah, it's easy to lump them together, but they're totally different beasts.
00:09:10.850 --> 00:09:14.811
The article makes it crystal clear with this analogy Hit me with it.
00:09:14.811 --> 00:09:16.547
Imagine throwing a party, right.
00:09:16.547 --> 00:09:20.711
A download is like someone RSVPing saying, yeah, I'll be there.
00:09:20.711 --> 00:09:21.581
Ok, got it.
00:09:21.581 --> 00:09:22.322
So far, so good.
00:09:22.322 --> 00:09:28.374
But listen, that's them actually showing up having fun digging the vibe.
00:09:28.701 --> 00:09:34.631
So it's the difference between someone saying they'll be there versus actually being there in your living room grabbing a snack.
00:09:34.832 --> 00:09:35.614
Exactly Okay.
00:09:35.614 --> 00:09:38.346
So which show would you listen to, jim?
00:09:38.346 --> 00:09:40.484
The second one, for sure.
00:09:40.484 --> 00:09:41.707
The second one for sure.
00:09:41.707 --> 00:09:42.250
Now you ready?
00:09:42.250 --> 00:09:57.583
This is the part when I heard this morning, I physically felt like I wanted to say explicitives.
00:09:57.583 --> 00:09:58.663
I was, I was just like whoa what?
00:09:58.683 --> 00:10:00.304
First of all, that's not real.
00:10:00.325 --> 00:10:00.846
That's a second one.
00:10:00.846 --> 00:10:01.686
Second one is AI.
00:10:01.686 --> 00:10:03.346
It's from notebooklmgoogle.
00:10:03.346 --> 00:10:15.313
So what you can do is upload articles and notebooklmgoogle will turn it into what we, just it'll turn it into this Exactly.
00:10:15.933 --> 00:10:22.457
And in the podcasting world that difference is huge, because not every download translates to someone actually hitting play.
00:10:24.059 --> 00:10:30.836
In fact this article, like I just heard her breathe, she just went you know, and I was like you know, and I got really good.
00:10:30.875 --> 00:10:33.643
Not very good at it, right, but because so?
00:10:33.643 --> 00:10:34.585
Because it's ai.
00:10:34.585 --> 00:10:43.312
But if it has good content, like maybe the person who created it, isn't a good speaker right well, I just to me.
00:10:43.371 --> 00:10:46.399
I was like wait a minute, am I going to get replaced?
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:55.504
Because I heard that and I was like you know, they didn't say you might, but maybe you might not, I mean yeah it's the content that matters, right?
00:10:55.525 --> 00:11:08.092
listen, if we took the first one, you know, if we took those first two, transcribed them and then put them in AI voices, it would still be the same, like the very first one.
00:11:08.092 --> 00:11:23.751
You would have to know those people to want to listen to that podcast, like because there's they're not, all they're doing is talking about their day, and I have a headache and it's little snifflies, and you'd have to know them for that.
00:11:23.751 --> 00:11:26.236
I don't know if the voice matters all that much.
00:11:26.236 --> 00:11:39.687
That second one, you could kind of tell I was going to say it felt a little bit like an over-edited YouTube video where you get I watch a lot of these whiskey videos on YouTube and it's a, it's a man and a woman and they're.
00:11:39.687 --> 00:11:46.721
You know they're doing tastings and stuff like that and they have that quick banter dialogue back and forth, and that's what it felt like to me.
00:11:46.721 --> 00:11:49.246
So it does in that AI.
00:11:49.246 --> 00:11:49.628
It does.
00:11:49.727 --> 00:11:52.312
It is very scripted, it is very efficient, though.
00:11:52.312 --> 00:12:00.586
That's one of those things, dave, where, because you can get it in a transcript and then it's being recorded in it into a voice, man, it's efficient.
00:12:00.586 --> 00:12:07.653
It's almost too efficient in some regards when you listen to podcasts like that and they're scripted out and they're so clean.
00:12:07.653 --> 00:12:14.827
You don't get your like your brain almost doesn't get time to, to, to digest the information.
00:12:14.827 --> 00:12:15.589
Right, you don't.
00:12:15.589 --> 00:12:17.152
It goes really fast.
00:12:17.152 --> 00:12:20.650
I have a hard time taking things from that kind of dialogue.
00:12:20.892 --> 00:12:29.792
Well, that was the only thing I thought that was missing is there was no she'd say something and he'd go absolutely like the minute, like she.
00:12:29.792 --> 00:12:33.864
Yeah, there was no thinking and like time to think was not there at all.
00:12:33.864 --> 00:12:37.259
But I, just when I heard it, I was like they didn't interrupt each other.
00:12:37.520 --> 00:12:38.381
Yeah right, they didn't.
00:12:38.381 --> 00:12:40.846
It didn't have this natural feel.
00:12:40.846 --> 00:12:47.697
It was literally ping ping, ping back and forth between the two, right, clean and sounded real.
00:12:47.697 --> 00:12:51.323
Again, your brain may a whole, you might.
00:12:51.323 --> 00:12:56.053
It'd be interesting to see if you did 30 minutes of that, and would you be physically tired?
00:12:56.053 --> 00:13:06.315
Would your brain be tired from trying to keep up with that kind of dialogue or, you know, versus a more casual dialogue from real people?
00:13:06.315 --> 00:13:09.347
Dave, you mentioned being replaced.
00:13:09.347 --> 00:13:10.605
Are you really worried about that?
00:13:10.605 --> 00:13:12.225
I mean, is that a real concern?
00:13:12.682 --> 00:13:23.089
Not really, because I have a personality and somebody like Dan says what's the difference between AI from someone I don't know and a real voice from someone I don't know?
00:13:23.089 --> 00:13:28.806
I think Jim's point of the content making the most, mattering the most, regardless of how it's produced.
00:13:28.806 --> 00:13:30.106
So that's where.
00:13:30.106 --> 00:13:36.994
And again, ai is regurgitating things that somebody already put together.
00:13:36.994 --> 00:13:39.876
So there's nothing new coming out of AI.
00:13:39.876 --> 00:13:46.842
They might be able to, you know, again put it out in.
00:13:46.863 --> 00:13:50.273
That was definitely more to the point and it sounded better and there was no.
00:13:50.273 --> 00:13:52.018
Oh, by the way, this is episode 500.
00:13:52.018 --> 00:13:53.422
We should mention that today.
00:13:53.422 --> 00:13:59.400
It was like I'm pretty sure I need to double check, if not next week, but I'm pretty sure.
00:13:59.400 --> 00:14:04.072
When I saw that last week I was like, yeah, chris says, is there any kind of disclaimer?
00:14:04.072 --> 00:14:08.725
Last week I was like, yeah, chris says, is there any kind of disclaimer?
00:14:08.725 --> 00:14:09.969
Just the little E in Apple that says it's explicit.
00:14:09.989 --> 00:14:16.688
And speaking of that, daniel has said Apple is now okay with profanity in text now and it should not be self-centered, which is kind of sad.
00:14:16.688 --> 00:14:21.668
I'm kind of, in a way, sad that naughty words aren't as naughty as they used to be.
00:14:21.668 --> 00:14:22.990
You know what I mean.
00:14:22.990 --> 00:14:29.461
It's even I was listening about.
00:14:29.461 --> 00:14:41.452
There's this new civility score that Daniel and I are going to be talking about in a future episode of the future of podcasting, but it's just one of the things where you know if your little kid says the S word and they're six, you're hey, shouldn't say that, but it's not, you know.
00:14:41.452 --> 00:14:51.482
I remember once I accidentally went to say the word fork and said something different and my sister gave me a bloody nose because she was like it was an accident, so it's going to.
00:14:51.482 --> 00:14:55.493
I just I guess the thing that got me was like wow, I would listen to that.
00:14:55.493 --> 00:14:58.423
I remember when the woman in the two.
00:14:58.423 --> 00:14:59.744
Yeah, the second one.
00:14:59.803 --> 00:15:00.684
Yeah, yeah, the first one.
00:15:00.684 --> 00:15:01.206
I would not.
00:15:01.206 --> 00:15:03.528
I would last about two more minutes and go.
00:15:03.528 --> 00:15:07.972
That's enough of that, because you have to realize now to their listeners.
00:15:07.972 --> 00:15:10.897
They're like oh, I forget who the hosts are.
00:15:10.897 --> 00:15:12.784
It's Anna and Leanne, I think.
00:15:12.784 --> 00:15:14.971
Anyway, yeah, yeah, Leanne and Anna.
00:15:14.971 --> 00:15:18.687
So I'm sure if I regularly listen to that show I'd be like oh, Anna has a cold.
00:15:18.687 --> 00:15:19.971
That's a bummer.
00:15:20.230 --> 00:15:20.932
But I don't know her.
00:15:20.932 --> 00:15:37.006
If you knew them, I think there's a space for that in when you have folks who are known, right, and so people love the back, the see, the backside of celebrities, right, the real life stuff, people like that.
00:15:37.006 --> 00:15:38.249
But I don't know.
00:15:38.249 --> 00:15:45.559
You know, if these two girls are known or listen, they want to do it, if they want to sit down and record it, that again, right?
00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:47.785
Yeah, let's not be hypocrites here.
00:15:47.785 --> 00:15:52.222
We always tell people you can do anything you want, right, they can do anything they want.
00:15:52.222 --> 00:15:55.609
On that, yeah, point.
00:15:55.609 --> 00:15:57.370
Uh, period, they can do anything.
00:15:57.370 --> 00:16:00.763
Sorry, I left that out there like I was gonna say something.
00:16:00.763 --> 00:16:03.951
They can literally do anything they want yeah, so as much as I go.
00:16:04.179 --> 00:16:26.604
Not my favorite intro do your show like do if you guys are just getting together chit chat, but they she was asking why my show isn't growing and I was like, now, to their credit, they did at the very yeah, at the beginning they did say this is the show where we talk about s and blah, blah, blah and then they rant, okay, so I kind of knew what I was getting into, so I'll give them that they did that part right.
00:16:26.604 --> 00:16:30.187
As for naughty words, dan says maybe we'll get new naughty words.
00:16:30.187 --> 00:16:33.409
The naughty words from the 1920s isn't the same as they are today.
00:16:33.409 --> 00:16:36.293
I remember growing up you couldn't say sucks.
00:16:36.293 --> 00:16:40.956
You couldn't say something sucks because that meant filleting things.
00:16:40.956 --> 00:16:44.365
And so now it's just it's bad.
00:16:44.384 --> 00:16:44.787
Here's a fun one.
00:16:44.787 --> 00:16:53.140
The song Amazing Grace, a staple in the church when it first came out, was like blasphemy because it wasn't based on scripture.
00:16:53.140 --> 00:16:56.711
So you'll be amazed at how things change over time.
00:16:56.711 --> 00:16:58.839
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:16:58.839 --> 00:17:14.662
Randy says I have a disclosure at the beginning of my show that uses AI generated voices and it was on the podcast rodeo show and I couldn't tell if the AI voice that was saying there might be AI voices in the show, which was very meta.
00:17:14.662 --> 00:17:18.279
I was like I don't know if I can, I can't tell if that was a real person or not.
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:19.682
And Randy later let me know.
00:17:19.682 --> 00:17:27.494
No, the thing saying the AI voice saying that there might be AI voices was in fact, an AI voice, which is kind of funny in a way.
00:17:28.342 --> 00:17:29.125
So I might.
