Description

Hey Bestie! Whether you're just starting your podcast or considering a rebrand for a show that no longer feels aligned, this episode of Up An Octave is all about helping you find the podcasting style that feels the most authentic to you. We'll chat about different podcast formats, their pros and cons, and how to choose the one that aligns with your goals and personality.

In This Episode:

• Podcast Styles Explained: From interview-based shows to solo commentary, narrative storytelling, and panel discussions, I break down the most popular podcast styles and their unique benefits.
• Pros and Cons: Learn the upsides and potential challenges of each format—whether it’s juggling guests, managing co-hosts, or producing a highly edited storytelling show.
• Finding What Feels Good: I talk about why it’s crucial to pick a podcasting style that fits your strengths, weaknesses, and passions—because life’s too short to make a show that doesn’t feel good!
• Pivoting Gracefully: If your current podcast style isn’t working for you, I discuss how to pivot to a new format that feels more aligned with where you’re at right now.

Key Takeaway:

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to podcasting. Whether you’re leaning toward interviews, solo commentary, or storytelling, the goal is to create a show that feels fun and meaningful for you.

Homework for You:

Sit down and evaluate what style of podcasting you feel most comfortable with, what your strengths are, and what your listeners are looking for. If you've already got a show, check in to make sure that it still feels good to create.
