Summary
As I listened to theses clips, I listened and made notes. When I put it all together, here is how it broke down. These are the qualities that people mentioned most. These numbers indicate (according to the 50ish people who replied) how important the following topics are.
If you combined funny and entertaining, that would be 47% (for me if I’m laughing I’m entertained). That would mean
49% Value (things I can use, easy to understand)
47% Entertaining/Funny
32% Personality (objective, chemistry, authentic, objective)
32% “Deep Dive” (in depth information)
15% Behind the Scenes (info you can’t get anywhere else)
11% Inspiring (encouraging, kept me positive)
11% Stories (people love stories)
9% Voice (“I love their voice”).
I have said (since 2005) your podcast is not about you, it’s about the audience. If you are a radio station, your call letters are WIFT (what’s in it for them). Find out what they want and deliver it in an entertaining and encouraging fashion, and you will connect with your audience.
A HUGE thank you to all my listeners, but a special thank you to everyone who called in with their responses.
I hope you enjoyed this episode it took over 10 hours to edit the audio, get them transcribed, record the show, format the word doc, embrace the magic that is the Kindle format.
