This episode is based on an exercise from the book,Make Noise: A Creator's Guide to Podcasting and Great Audio Storytelling(also available onAudible), where you have to describe your show in a way that can't be used by other shows, and you can use any ofthese words. The idea is that instead of using the word "Awesome," explain WHY it's awesome. It's hard, but in the end, it leads you to ponder what makes your show. The book is from Eric Nuzum, who appears inepisode 708.
