True Crime Podcaster: Jimmie Whisman Shares How He and His Partner Found Podcast Success [PART 1]
01:08:11
5 years ago, Jimmie Whisman and James Pietragallo made the decision to create a true crime podcast called Crime in Sports. With a crude setup in an apartment in Phoenix, Arizona, the comedic duo recorded their first podcast with two lapel microphones and a video camera to capture the audio.
Once that first episode was complete, they uploaded it and only got 12 total downloads.
Disappointed in the downloads, James was ready to call it quits before Jimmie reminded him that it was only one episode and they had to give the podcast some time to grow.
Fast-forward 5 years later and the comedic duo now host an additional podcast, Small Town Murder and tour the United States doing live podcast recordings for thousands of adoring fans.
How did these two get here?
In this episode, Jimmie shares how he and his partner grew their podcast to garner thousands of downloads per week and now are the creators of their own fate and future.
What you'll learn from this episode:
The early days of building Crime In Sports.
How they build content for their podcast.
Whether their audience likes longer or shorter podcasts.
What it takes to create a successful podcast.
How to deal with life's interruptions
How he and Jimmie earn their money and and handle sponsorships.
Their Patreon tier structure methodology.
The impact of pollinating your audience.
and much more...

Getting More Podcast Listeners - The Different Types Of Podcast Marketing
00:57:54
Getting more podcast listeners is a HUGE topic for most podcasters. Am I right?
But when it comes to getting more podcast listeners, what is the right way to market those podcasts?
In today's episode, I want to examine the different types of podcast marketing and help you identify which ones will work best for you.
Today's podcast was inspired after I attended a recent Clubhouse room filled with podcast creators who seemed to be caught up in the the throes of knowing which would be the best way to market their podcast to get more listeners.
Here's a summary of what you're going to learn in today's episode:
UPDATED APPLE PODCASTS NEWS - A change to the "Subscribe" button and how it will impact podcast content creators.
How social platforms are also pivoting the language of how people can "subscribe" or "follow" their favorite content creator and its direct relation to benefit the content creator.
Google Podcasts is making an update to their app to help podcasters get better recommendations. This impacts the podcast content creator and I talk about what you should do about this change.
The identification of the 4 types of podcast marketing:
Organic Search Engine Optimization
Influencer Marketing
Podcast-To-Podcast Marketing
Paid Marketing on social media and podcast platforms such as Spotify--what do you need to know?
Brand new live streaming app that allows you to distribute your live stream to Facebook Live, YouTube Live, LinkedIn Live and Periscope while allowing viewers to "call in" and take live audio/video calls.

Should I Put My Podcast On YouTube?
01:01:42
"Should I put my podcast up on YouTube? I hear it's great for getting discovered."
I frequently hear this comment from podcasters who are looking to gain more listeners to their podcast. But truth be told, posting a podcast up to YouTube is more than just grabbing the audio file, attaching podcast cover art and letting your podcast play underneath the card.
In fact, when it comes to gaining more traction to your podcast, putting audio-only podcasts up on YouTube could be wasting valuable time for you, the podcaster. In fact, your time is better spent creating original content for the YouTube platform that is an actual video instead of repurposed static images.
Here's a breakdown of what is in today's program:
Show Opening and Latest News:
An update on Clubhouse and the evolution of their Terms of Service. If you missed that episode, you can listen to it here.
Spotify launches paid podcast platform for creators
I explain how you can implement a paid subscription podcast right now without having to wait for Spotify's platform to go public.
I detail which platforms you can use to create a paid podcast platform.
Correction to the section when I mention my sister has almost 30k subscribers. She currently has 21k subscribers.
What I didn't expect before publishing to YouTube
My personal publishing process.
Views vs. Watch Time
Unnecessary Explanations - Listener Q&A
Today I answer a series of questions about starting up a podcast website and what to look for when purchasing domain names.
Share advice in a listener/viewer who wants to monetize a children's story podcast as well as create an accompanying YouTube Channel.

Recalibrating Your Podcast Efforts When You Can't Publish For A Week
00:11:42
Recalibrating your podcast efforts when you can't publish for a week is something that might happen to you and your podcast.
In the case of today's podcast, you will learn exactly what I did this last weekend to recalibrate the efforts of my podcast, website and YouTube channel.
Sometimes life will happen to you and if you're not batching your podcast content, you might find yourself in a pinch when it comes to getting your podcast out to the masses. In those instances, I feel that it might be important for you to think about batching OR actually taking a break.
You will learn in today's podcast what ended up happening to me and what I decided to do about something that could be viewed as a setback.

00:56:14
Sponsorship strategies from radio--that can ultimately help podcasters who want to monetize--can help when it comes to approaching a potential new sponsor.
Today I speak with Account Executive for Hubbard Broadcasting-Phoenix, Steve Moynihan. Steve has extensive experience in radio industry sales since the early 2000s and also a digital media consultant. His wisdom and experience in traditional media is like hitting the jackpot for podcasters who need answers to the countless questions about sponsorships.

Today's episode will hopefully give you some ideas of how you can monetize your podcast.
Here's a brief breakdown of today's interview:
What a "sponsorship" means in radio.
The easiest way to get a sponsorship fr your podcast.
Where sponsorships can be integrated for your program.

Clubhouse For Podcasters: Does The Platform Support Podcast Programs?
00:31:09
Clubhouse for podcasters has become quite the topic of conversation in the last few months. Already, the app is gaining steam with those who have an iPhone and it's creating even more curiosity with those who are on Android.
But when it comes to podcasters, there has been buzz about utilizing the platform as a "podcasting" outlet for live audio streams. But the big question is whether or not you can create live content on the platform and whether or not you can repurpose it as podcast content on your hosting provider.
In today's episode, we are going to go over:
Clubhouse's terms of service and how it affects podcast content creation.
Clubhouse's competitors and why it matters to content creators.
Monetizing on Clubhouse.
Whether a podcaster can create live content and repurpose it onto podcast platforms--killing two birds with one stone.
Defining how Clubhouse should be used as a social network.
The potential of Clubhouse being more than just a social network and whether it could possibly survive as a potential "live broadcasting" tool in the future.
There are a lot of questions to be answered in this episode. I hope it helps out.

Becoming The Trailblazer of Your Podcast Niche Like The Creators of Writer and Geek (Part 1)
01:06:59
Becoming the trailblazer of your podcasting niche can seem impossible when there are so many other podcasters who are creating content like yours. It can feel discouraging to hear podcasts that share valuable information whilst creating an audio production that sounds top-not.
Self-proclaimed "geeks", Vishnu and Shankar Padmanabhan, had their sights set on creating content only they thought they loved. Little did they know, the content they would produce would resonate with a global audience and become one of the trailblazing podcasts in India.
In today's episode, I wanted to learn more about those "first days" of the Writer and Geek podcast and uncover the genesis of the idea. We will break down:
The podcasting tools they use to create a documentary-style podcast
Why investing in your equipment pays off in the long run for your program.
What they have gained by focusing on their content and what it has done for acquired skills they never learned they would gain.
How to tell a story and maintain credibility.
How they gain ideas and inspiration to create thoughtful content.
How being an "introvert" allowed them to gain much more beyond their podcast.
The emergence of their podcast paired with a few other native podcasts led to the explosion of interest in podcasting for India.

This Consultation Call Fundamentally Changed One Podcaster's Way At How He Looks At Podcast and Website
00:23:35
Today's episode is based on a consultation call that fundamentally changed the way Jon Verno looked at the purpose of his podcast website.
Recorded on December 24th, 2020, this consultation call was over an hour long--and with Jon's permission I am able to share part of that consultation call with you here on this podcast.
Jon reached out to me to learn more about Electronic Press Kits (EPK) so that he could have people view it on his website for potential opportunities. After speaking with me, he learned that a podcast website is more than jut having a static page to refer people to when looking for opportunity.
You're going to hear me refer to a website, http://www.balancedbites.com, and share which qualities of that podcast website are ideal for Jon's podcast.
This episode is perfect for the podcaster who is having a hard time growing their podcast as or have possibly plateaued.

9 Podcasting Lessons I Learned in 2020 and How They Can Help You And Your Program
01:14:55
Let's talk about the 9 podcasting lessons I learned in 2020 and how they can help you and your program into the new year.
The start of the new year brings in a fresh crop of podcasters who have high hopes to create a wildly successful podcast. Some of those podcasters will survive through the new year with content each week while other podcasters will find themselves burned out--eventually giving up and telling themselves they failed at their podcast.
This episode serves as a foundational episode that has an emphasis on starting with taking care of yourself.
I do realize this is a podcast about helping other podcasters with the technical and promotional parts of the medium, but until we can start working on these basic and fundamental parts of our own personal lives, we may never see our podcasts see the heights that we dream of.

PODCAST MARKETING: Using This Single Strategy Right Now Can Make All The Difference In Your Program Growth
01:20:27
Podcast marketing can be an enigma for content creators who have a purpose. Let's face it, getting the word out about your podcast can seem like an uphill battle the entire time you're creating the podcast.
After all, there isn't a one-size-fits-all strategy that comes with promoting a podcast program.
In today's episode, I want to share with you a strategy I have been using for years that helps grow an audience of qualified listeners who are interested in what you have to say. I am a firm believer that every podcaster should implement this strategy right out of the gate.
I share this strategy with you because it's how you came to probably finding my podcast, YouTube channel or even viewing one of my free or paid products.
Every podcaster will have an end game--the question is whether you want to step outside of your comfort zone of recording and editing and move into an area that will help add content to your recordings while promoting your podcast.
Also in today's episode:
How did the podcasting industry perform as a whole in 2020? I break down some interesting numbers from Edison Research's webinar, 10 for 20.
Answer listener and YouTube viewer questions. We will talk about how to cite sources in a podcast as well as determine how to podcast in two different niches.

UTILITY EPISODE: Breaking Down Podcast Recording and Editing Software
01:18:53
When you start podcasting, you'll have a number of questions when it comes to recording and editing your podcast into a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).
There are a number of DAWs that exist in the marketplace and I want to cover the top 3 that you might be using for your podcast.
I will break down, in-depth, each of those DAWs and recommend the one that is going to save you time if you are implementing the right workflow.
In my 21 years of radio, there is only one software that I use to edit any of the audio that I create for radio. This has carried over into my podcast production for clients as well. Today I want to share why I use this particular recording/editing software and why you should be using it as well.

The Podcast Therapist Trailer Episode
00:02:07
My name is Shannon Hernandez. I'm a 20+ year radio veteran in the Phoenix, Arizona area for a radio station 98KUPD-FM. On the side, I'm also a podcast producer, a podcaster and a YouTuber. I've also spoken at conferences like Podcast Movement.
In my time as a radio broadcaster and podcast producer, it has been my mission to share knowledge and merge the art of radio broadcasting with podcasting and vice versa.
The reason I created this podcast was to give you my take on what I think podcasters should be doing when it comes to creating high quality podcasts. You can expect to hear marketing and promotion tips from the radio industry and how it will apply to podcasters and podcasting. Also, I want to share with you the best tips in production and content creation--specifically in sound design, because sound design is the secret weapon to your marketing.
You're also going to hear interviews with radio industry pros who want to help you expand your skillset beyond the technical side of podcasting.
I also want to share with you strategies and tips to improve your marketing efforts as you're podcasting.
I created The Podcast Therapist to be your sounding board to becoming a better podcaster.
I look forward to you diving even deeper with The Podcast Therapist episodes and learning more from my perspective as a podcaster and radio broadcaster.
