The Audacity to Podcast®

When thinking about upgrading your podcasting workflow, you probably immediately think of actual podcasting tools: microphones, recorder/mixer/interface combos, podcast hosting, podcasting software, cameras, lighting, and such. But that's not what I'm going to share with you! In fact, none of these are explicitly podcasting tools (with one on the fence). And not a single one of these is yet another AI tool!

It's Christmas Eve, and instead of talking about podcasting or goals for a new year, I want to share a special Christmas message.

Surveying your audience doesn't have to be a complicated matter. Moving into a new year, here are the three most important questions I recommend you ask your audience. Please share this episode from your podcast app or https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/3questions 1. "What would you like more of from me/us or my/our podcast?" [01:20] 2. "What would you like less of from me/us or my/our podcast?" [02:14] 3. "What do you want to tell me/us that's been on your mind?" [04:05] You turn these into to-dos and take action [04:43] I want to hear your thoughts about The Audacity to Podcast! [07:36] Please share your answers to these through questions through https://podcastfeedback.com/audacity Special thanks [10:30] 1,363§ from Bryan Entzminger from TopTierAudio.com ——— Start and grow your own podcast for passion and PROFIT!
