The best podcast on podcasting
Dave has been in podcasting like forever. So he knows his stuff. His show is probably one of the biggest shows on podcasting. And it’s still going strong today. Highly recommend listening to this show if you have a podcast.

A must listen for all Podcasters
I have been listening to Dave’s show ever since I decided that I was going to start a podcast. The free help I have received through this show as well as his others, is a big reason I’ve become as successful as I have. And not only is the information extremely useful but he presents it in a very entertaining way. I have re-listened to almost every episode and always seem to pick up something new and still get some good laughs

Authentic, fun, and very informative!
Just discovered this podcast and am binging now. I generally don't listen to shows geared toward podcast hosts because I'm a booking agent...I don't have a show. However, I am glad I decided to give this show a listen because I'm learning so much more about the industry and from a Podcast Hall of Famer no less so who better to listen to, right?
I love Dave's humor and authenticity. His credibility and trustworthiness makes this a podcast I will continue to listen to and suggest to everyone who is or is considering being in the podcasting space! Put this one reverse play so you can catch the many past episodes...you'll learn so much from a master and in an enjoyable way!

Podpage
Your recent episode on Podpage Elite got me to upgrade from Pro. Worked with the SEO feature last night and corrected all my shows. Most had 4 or 5 warnings and 3 or so fails. Now, they’re all perfect. Definitely worth a 5 star review and a follow. Thanks!!

Valid info, reliable source, slight bits of cringe
Growing up in California during the heyday of glam rock, trash metal and west coast rap there were these certain types of folks who put on seminars to “teach” aspiring musicians how to “make it in the music business.” The focus was getting signed to a record label and becoming a famous rockstar — “monetizing” your band.
Dave Jackson reminds me of one of those guys now doing the same thing with podcasters and the School of Podcasting. Lots of killer information if you want to follow the crowd of podcasters who came before you. I listen to it for what NOT to do next.
There is one bit of cringe in the beginning that is so 🤮 it tinges the rest of my impression of Dave for the rest of each episode. Mind you, I DO listen to each episode. It’s well-produced. Great sound. Tight editing. But … in the beginning. When Dave says “Hit it, ladies!” … I just can’t. He couldn’t have just said “Hit it!?” This is so much like Mitt Romney’s “Binders full of women” it’s hilarious. Like, Dave has a harem of backup singers he allows to sing for him once a week, then back in the box?
Still, five stars because I’m not a complete animal.

Literally a school of podcasting!
Have a podcast? Want to be great at it? You MUST listen to this podcast! I listen over and over again. He gives so much value and concrete guidance, and I cannot wait until I can give back for all he helps me / us with. Thanks Dave!!

That’s pretty much what I say every time I listen to Dave. Not only does he know his stuff, he can communicate it!

He shows up authentically & provides tremendous value to podcasters looking to perfect their craft from developing your personal brand to discussing the arvatsgexpodcasters have. I love that he provides so much value RIGHT here without being pushy to get you to join his program. Thank you for all your hard work Dave!

Great podcasting resource
Whether you're new to podcasting, or an experienced podcaster, you're sure to learn something from each and every epsiode of School of Podcasting. Dave has been in podcasting from the start, and he does an excellent job of sharing what he's learned along the way.

I love this podcast!
Dave Jackson imparts incredible knowledge about podcasting and has been the single most helpful human being as I started off with my podcast. I’m now at close to 100 episodes and Dave Jackson is still my number one go to person for podcast knowledge and help!

A Serendipitous Experience
I went to Podcast Movement 2021 in Nashville and met Dave at the Libsyn booth. I didn’t know he was the host of the School of Podcasting at that time. Dave and the group I was with later ironically had lunch together due to some mutual connections. It was then I found out about Dave’s School of Podcasting show.
I am so thrilled I found this show. I’ve been podcasting now for around 7 months and am loving it and learning a great deal as I go. Having found Dave’s show and listening to the content has been extremely valuable to me.
I’m considering joining his online group to continuing the learning with like-minded individuals.
Thank you Dave for the great content you produce and the serendipitous meeting we had at the booth and over lunch.
I’m looking forward to continuing to learn with your community and through your show.

He Can Say It, Because He Has Done It
I’ve been listening to Dave Jackson’s podcasts from the very beginning. Yes, the VERY start of his podcasting experience. I remember the launch of the School of Podcasting. The beauty of this launch was not that it started the era of quality podcast coaching, but that it came AFTER Dave had already jumped through many of the hoops, failed at many approaches, and discovered many of the best practices of podcasting.
Dave has done a number of shows through the years. When he offers an approach, it’s because he’s become adept at that offering. When he recommends a service (or suggests you should avoid it) it’s because he has used it and tried everything possible to break it or to take best advantage of it.
Dave’s School of Podcasting is the real deal. He deserves every accolade he receives, including his Podcast Hall of Fame award. Listen to the School of Podcasting — whether you are just getting started — or when you are a veteran podcaster hoping to keep up with the best practices of podcasting.

Truly the heart of a teacher but also has the best information and experience to teach the right way to podcast. He is in the Podcasting Hall of Fame for a reason!

Hall of Fame for a Reason
A chatty show that treats listeners like family vs. one hurling podcasing tidbits. Podcasters, like any group, are often enamored hot, shiny baubles. Dave Jackson has a fantastic knack for helping people refocus on the basics that help you grow a podcast and skip the mistakes. I've avoided so many problems by listening to this podcast.

Wasn’t sure but then I was hooked
At first I thought oh man, this guy is like a sports announcer, but the episode was so good I immediately listened To the next episode and subscribed. There’s some great nuggets of advice that I will immediately put into my podcast. Highly recommend for anyone, senior or newbie podcasters alike. Thank you!

Not the most technical, but the most motivating
Tired of going down techie rabbit holes? Tired of Rah Rah passive income nonsense. Check out THE Dave Jackson. He's a podcasting OG, but still remembers what it's like to be a newbie. Has the technical chops to be really helpful, but understands that podcasting isn't about the tech. Check out a couple episodes. He's kind of like your crazy Uncle. Lots of cheesy jokes, but you'll love him to death.

Great job
I like this podcast a lot because I am a podcaster “ What’s That “ it gives me the best tips and tricks for my podcast
The only thing I don’t like is he trash talked anchor, which is the platform ,It is so easy to use and it is free
But other than that it is pretty good

Really helpful
I’m still trying get better for my podcast and whenever I get discouraged, I listen to Dave. Afterwards I always feel better and get excited to continue to improve. I think my podcast is improving as I have tried to apply some of Dave’s advice to my show. Thanks for contributing your knowledge Dave!
