My Favorite Episode Is - Podfest Reflections
Today I'm back from Podfest in Orlando Florida. What a great show, there were tons of brand new podcasters looking to jump into the space. This week we share if you had one podcast episode that sticks in your brain, if so why.
Joining the Podcast Family4:28 I share how the Podcast Family came to my rescue when I had a device fail when I got to Florida. Special thanks to Marc Johanssen of thePodcast Gear Facebook Group, and Michael O'Neal of theSolopreneur Hourwho let me borrow gear to make my session happen when things broke during travel.
My Favorite Episode Is09:35 Gabe fromGuys and Foodsaid his favorite episode(s) were from The Sporkfulhttp://www.sporkful.com/calls-a-root-beer-float-to-cure-the-cancer-blues/andhttp://www.sporkful.com/margaret-chos-eating-disorder-advice-to-a-teenage-girl/
Both were poignant and heartfelt depictions of people who are going through pain and the ways that they try to handle it. Their stories are told in an authentic and human way. These episodes stand on their own because of that. However, they especially stand out when juxtaposed to the other, more lighthearted episodes. It reminds me of the TV show MASH in this way.

Behind the Scenes of My Podfest PresentationMy presentation got off to a rocky start, this lead to many voice in my head filled with panic. Things weren't turning out the way I wanted. When I was done, as things had not gone the way I wanted, I assumed it was awful. Yet I was approached by people who told me it was a great presentation. I've said this before, if you aim at perfect and miss, you'll land on really, really good.
Quit Obsessing Over Things That Don't MatterPeople are failing to launch their podcast because they are obsessed over things that don't really matter (color of website, the player your are using). I don't recommend a podcast based on the player or color of the website.
