How complicated is it to do a podcast?
“There is so much more evolution and it is happening quicker and quicker. Before things just used to take forever.”
What are the first mistakes that podcasters usually make?
“We didn’t look at our podcast measurement for five years because it was irrelevant. It just didn’t matter. It was low, unpredictable and business was whatever it was.
“I didn’t look at my twitter followers.
I didn’t care about my Facebook fans. All that stuff was gone. This is pure survival mode.”
What are the most important things to consider?
“We have to be more animated because the person listening can’t actually see you and the audience certainly can’t see you either.”
Last mean on the planet?
“I’d go to Joe’s Stone Crab in Las Vegas. I love that place”.
