I was always told that you should record a Podcast in your natural voice and just add a little enthusiasm.

Maybe, sometimes, I take it too far :)

Dave…a very nice summary from a listeners point of view. I’m a firm believer in respecting the audience’s time and attention. Get your content across in an entertaining way, provide value and be consistent.

I expect something from the podcasts I listen to. That’s the sign of a good brand.

A couple of things that I find determine whether or not I listen regularly, casually or unsubscribe:

- length: as long as it needs to be, but no longer. Be vicious about your listener’s time.
- soapbox factor: I like personality, but I’m not that interested in the personal. I want to like the host, but they should be trying to reach me with their content, not their rantings
- format: a bit of structure makes planning easier, helps with pace and achieves a consistent experience for the listener.
