Go to www.podcastreviewshow.com/reviewme What We Liked About the Show Dave enjoyed the Emotion Wheel and felt it was something he would look deeper into that topic when the show was over. Your voice over guy did a nice single call to action. Solid interview style. Very comfortable. The questions set him up to give a ton of useful info. I like the big “subscribe” button on the home page. The intro tells us exactly who the show is for and what it is about. I like the category section - easy to binge listen What We Thought Could Be Improved I would prefer you tell me why YOU are excited to have this person on instead of reading his bio. The show doesn't mention authors, and it would help to tie any strategies back to authors. Dave felt you repeating what the guest just said was not helpful. Remove Google Play from you website and add Google Podcasts and Spotify. (maybe make a subscribe page with directions) While there is an "About" for the podcast, We need a paragraph to answer, “Why should I listen to Susan?” The call to action would come across better if it came from you. The WordPress theme you are on is from a company that went out of business. Check out Second Line Themes. The answers were very technical. Get the guest to tell some stories. Engage. Examples. Lots of “schedule appointment” buttons. You ask “Need help with book marketing?” Is that the real pain? or is it “get noticed” “sell more books” “become a best seller”? “Contact” is just “schedule an appointment” again. Maybe e-mail or phone. Check Out Book Marketing Mentors Website: https://www.bookmarketingmentors.com/

Today we look at Paypod the payments and fintech podcast. Here is their description from Apple podcasts: Welcome to PayPod, a show that explores the fast-changing world of payments and fintech. The show features interviews with leaders and entrepreneurs in the payments and fintech industries. Each episode, you’ll hear an interview directly with a leader of the payments industry. We talk with fintech entrepreneurs, security experts, mobile developers, eCommerce pros, and more... From credit card processing to bitcoin... from retail point of sale systems to cutting edge digital payments software… merchant accounts. mobile checkout, lending marketplaces, and beyond… we cover it all! What We Liked About the Show Once the interview started Scott seemed very relaxed and enjoyed having a conversation with his guest. While there was some "Bitcoin Rah Rah" it wasn't 100% a pep rally for bitcoin. Great short introduction that gets right to the point It was a good discussion about cryptocurrency itself worldwide. You do a good job balancing the discussion of the app with the discussion of the industry overall. The courage to cover contrarian views was great, and you did a great job of setting up the guest and then getting out of his way as his passion came through. I liked that you attempted to skip the guest's backstory (even though he admittedly went on some tangents). The website was clean and does a great job of having a podcast page without distracting from the business. Things That Might Need Improved You really need to determine who this show is for and talk specifically to that audience. There may be more than one type of listener, but you really need to embrace one. Erik thought a bit more on the benefit of the show for the listener. How am I going to benefit? Leave yourself a little room at the beginning of that before the discussion starts to demonstrate your authority in this space and what you do and how you help people. Not sure what you could do about this, but an Australian only app cuts out a chunk of the world. A walk through of the process of the app, what it does, and why I would use it. A fair amount of jargon. Depending on who the audience is, you might need to explain some of the terms. The guest had mentioned he had authored a book, and you mentioned you would put a link in the show notes (but didn't). You did a great job of having a single call to action, but that one call to action wasn't in alignment with your goals. You had stated you wanted more feedback on the topics that interest the audience. If this is the true goal, you need to specify this as your call to action. Add some more obvious subscribe buttons (instead of links) in the episodes (it is all about the subscribers).

Today Dave and Erik touch base with Adam from Tactical Breakdown to see how his podcast is doing since the last time we reviewed his show. Adam niched down to his audience, and really focused on his target audience and realized not everyone is his audience. Adam has delegated the production work to a company that allows him to focus more on the courses and live events. He started and launched an online training program, and now does his podcast full time. Adam had questions about creating an Amazon Flash Briefing (and we explain there is a difference between an Amazon Skill, and an Amazon Flash Briefing). Adam also has people in his audience and industry to have Adam consult on running their event, and help with their podcast. Adam updated his intro based on our suggestions and fixed the audio issues he had in the past.

Description Get actionable training and tactics from the best Law Enforcement, Military, and Emergency Response instructors in the world. Join us on our quest to make you, your agency, and your community safer. Our goal is to bring you a platform that gives an in-depth look at the most current training, tactics, and technology used by today's top Law Enforcement, Military, and Security experts. Our Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) bring you their real-world knowledge and experiences and breakdown the incidents, operations, and personal stories that influenced them. We are proud to have partnered with organizations from across Canada to raise awareness of Mental Health and Crisis Response for our First Responders, LEOs, Active & Veteran Military Members, and Security Personnel across the world. We will be bringing on experts to share information and resources that you can use yourself, another person, or your organization. What We Liked Great energy. Great guest Glad that reminded me who the guest is and why he's there. Good job of explaining CCTM might do that more often. Nice job of talking to one person most of the time. Nice job of teasing “coming up on the podcast” (maybe get more specific). Have a good shift – you really know your listener. Nice job of staying out of the guest's way, and letting him state his opinion. Nice job asking the guest to clarify. Nice focused call to action. Great resources and easy contact page. The website is easy to navigate. What Might Need a Little Polish A lot of history of the guest. Do we need all of his backstories? Your volume needs adjusting during the intro. Have a first question that gets into the content instead of a generic history question. Some low hanging ums, but not enough to worry about. No way to share episodes. If you're using an iframe, those are horrible for SEO. White text on a black background can be taxing on the eyes. The occasional use of group speak. Your newsletter needs more of an incentive.

Description Rob Fonte is the host of the Leadership Jam Session Podcast, where every other week you'll get to hear leaders at all levels of management share their practical solutions to the management challenges you face every day. On this podcast, Rob shares leadership experiences with listeners by bringing in leaders from all different levels to “Jam” on a variety of leadership topics. Some of the best insights are captured from just listening and learning from each other as they share their experiences. More importantly, we learn to see things through the lens of a different perspective and how to move forward with a different approach. With that concept in mind, the Leadership Jam Session podcast was born. Be sure to stay up to date at leadershipjamsession.com. What We Liked About it Great short introductions and you got right to the content The intro identifies who the show is for and what to expect. Great stories and insights from your guests Great transitions from speaker to speaker and getting everyone involved I liked the occasional summary of what your guests said. You had a great space for guests to be vulnerable and share insights. What Might Need Some Polish Do a quick recap of the question when getting others involved. “almost out of time” is a holdover from the radio. Always talk to one person and avoid group speak Work more of who you are and why people should listen. Maybe work the guest's name in more so we know who is talking. Direct people to the website for calls to action. Add a Google Podcasts to the website and update Captivate to show subscribe buttons Position yourself as the expert and do a summary of “what did we learn” to inject YOU into the content. Determine who your true target audience member is and design the content with them in mind.

Description Developing Resilient Leaders What We Liked About The Show Nice opening. Nice story. You get right to it. Lovely Dirty Harry Imitation The website looks amazing and very professional It's precise. You make your point and get out. What We Thought Needed Tweaking Dave thought this was close to being a performance it was so well-read There was some confusion about who the story was about. Was this you golfing? The audio level on the Dirty Harry clip was a little low When you say “Folks” its “group speak” Add a “Book Trent” button to the website A little stronger connection of the opening story to the topic. “Today we are going to talk about” More Information Website: trenttheroux.com Apple Google Podcasts   The post SWIMMING IN THE FLOOD appeared first on Podcast Review Show - Get Your Podcast Reviewed.

Description The weekly podcast for and about firefighters, “Code 3” covers topics of interest to those in the fire service, through interviews with those who know it best. From Chiefs to Probies, Engineers to Firefighters, and Paramedics to EMTs, award-winning journalist Scott Orr talks with them all. Show notes at Code3Podcast.com What We Liked About The Show Nice and to the point ” The firefighter's podcast – strategies, tactics and other topics you need to know about” Love how you embrace Parkinson's right up front GREAT first question that really gets right to the good stuff Great discussion with the strategies. I could see a squad listening to this and having a discussion There is one aspect in the show firefighting What We Thought Needed Tweaked Have the store on your website open in a new window Make the newsletter option a bit more exciting Maybe a bit more promotion on the t-shirt and generic donation options Maybe a few more stories More Information Website: http://www.code3podcast.com Apple Google The post Code 3 – The Firefighters’ Podcast appeared first on Podcast Review Show - Get Your Podcast Reviewed.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ijFQP-rxcQ&feature=emb_logo

Description Rhonda Orr is the president and founder of Rhonda's STOP BULLYING Foundation. On this podcast, she expands on the newspaper advice columns she writes with Dr. Cheri L. McDonald, “Dear Rhonda & Dr. Cheri..” Rhonda speaks directly to you, with real-world, actionable advice Find the show at https://bullyinglifeandstuff.com What We Liked About The Show The audio quality was great and Rhonda has an authentic passion for this topic and it comes through. The opening got right to the point Nice clip to open the show that really hit home The website has a nice clean look and easy to navigate. Good job of boosting the theater of the mind Good call to action at the end of the show What Needed Some Tweaking Some confusions with wording coming from a column to a podcast “She/Her” The intro was a bit long and you might want to focus in who is the show for, and what the goal of the show is for. Then right an intro to really pull in the listeners and use the parts of your background that fit the goal of the show (credentials that don't fit aren't needed). Dr. Cheri got a lot of attention for someone who is not on the show, and is barely on the website. Also do we care that she is from West Lake Villiage? If the goal is to get more speaking gigs, add some pictures of you in that setting to the website. You might also consider mentioning it to the audience. Example: “I was speaking to some high school kids….” The 12 seconds of music at the end could be faded out at the end. This opening really isn't focused on anyone. “from business management to fear”, but we are talking about bullying. Who are we really trying to reach? Additional Comments As Rhonda is transitioning to a new podcast and website, when the podcast isn't tied to the structure of the column this will free you up to speak more from the heart, and loosen up a bit (not that you were stiff). We look forward to hearing Bully Buster when it becomes available.

Description Random is a podcast hosted by Larry Roberts featuring a RANDOM selection of interesting and insightful interviews with Motivators, Entrepreneurs, Survivors, Athletes, Podcasters, Bloggers and More! The goal is to READILY remind each listener through stories of success, recovery, and inspiration that you too can be larger than life! Find the show at www.readilyrandom.com What We Liked Great energy out of the gate Great audio Great passion A clean website with great graphics Great job covering when uncontrollable circumstances arrive Fun music. What Needs to be Tweaked The show needs an intro that describes what it's about and who it's for. Then describe what is on the episode in a way that makes people want to keep listening. There is quite a lot of “group talk” such as “Hey everybody.” Talk to ONE person to boost the intimate feel of podcasting. Be sure to mention whatever people are there to plug upfront and set the stage so people know where we are headed. While many podcasters don't share enough, at one point the interview flipped and she was interviewing you as we had taken a fairly long tangent. We LOVE your personality. Share that on your “10 minutes with” episodes, and make interviews where the guest shines. Add a call to action even if it is “tell a friend” and let people know where they can find more information about you and your guest. You can share about yourself in regards as to why YOU are excited about (reason) the guest is on today. This shows you did some homework while allowing people to get a glimpse into you. Be careful getting too random. Make sure there is a common theme amongst your guests.

Beyond Westworld Introduction DESCRIPTION Award-winning podcast duo Aaron Peterson & Troy Heinritz live without limits as they bring you into analysis mode on the very first podcast for HBO's Westworld. You may question the nature of your reality as the “hosts” dig deep into each character's journey through the maze to find the door. Break the code with a sectioned off part of the park for theories and deep dives into not just the show, but all the website, Instagram, and other ancillary items they can find. What are your drives? If you answered Westworld, then subscribe today! WEBSITE www.beyondwestworldpodcast.com WHAT WE LIKED Troy and Aaron put in a lot of work into each episode via research. Their audio quality is good and their intro gets right to the content quickly Their show notes included some GIF mini-movies that really grabbed your attention along with a quick history of Westworld There were passionate discussions of topics that were DEEP into the topics of die-hard fans. There is good chemistry between the hosts. WHAT NEEDS TWEAKED? Some of the tangents went a bit long and really stopped the momentum of the show (or were just inside jokes that the audience didn't get). Some of the information that is delivered in each weekly seemed rushed and at times, hard to understand. There were many calls to action at the end. You could use each other's names a bit more to help the audience keep track. Without doing a “and now its time to” type of segment remind the audience of the purposes of each segment (beyond “going deeper”). Your banding is a little clunky. This will be remedied when you switch to a new website but there is mention of Golden Spiral, as well as your website, which then has a header at the top with a different name.

Description Explore human anatomy and physiology (A&P) teaching and learning with host Kevin Patton. An experienced professor, textbook author, and mentor, Kevin is a recognized leader in A&P teaching. The A&P Professor builds on the practical approach taken in Kevin's popular blogs, newsletters, and websites. Want some ideas to supercharge your A&P course? How about some support from a fellow A&P professor? This is the podcast for you! What We Liked Nice intro – I know where we are going, and you’re right into the content Did a great job of talking to one person – no “Group Speak” Lots of great tips for fellow teachers Nice job referring back to episode 50 Nice transitions and the ads were short, relevant, and to the point. Solid bio on the site Things That Need Polished Gave good qualifications at the end. Move it up to the front of the show. It's against Amazon's policy to say shopping through your link will help you (go figure…) A few too many calls to action at the end. The website lacked an overall style. The two players may cause confusion. We would like to hear who the show is for at the beginning.
