    COMPLETE THE GROW THE SHOW AUDIENCE SURVEY

    Before there was podcasting, there was radio broadcasting. We all grew up listening to the radio, whether it was popular music stations in our area or talk shows our parents listened to every day. There are many similarities between podcasts and radio, but there are also very important differences that podcasters and businesses need to know.

    You might not realize it, but if you’ve started your own podcast, you might be carrying over some of those habits picked up from decades of listening to radio shows. Jazzy T is speaking with host Kevin on this episode of Grow The Show, shedding light on the major differences that could be affecting your podcast.

    Jazzy has over 20 years of experience in radio and started her own podcasting network, which gives her a ton of insights on this topic. She’s sharing what she’s learned working with both platforms, including whether or not to keep your “radio voice,” advertising, and interviewing.

    Listen in for a quick education on the limitations of broadcast radio, the freedom and pitfalls of podcasting, and giving listeners the best experience possible!

    Topics discussed in this episode:


    The differences between podcasting and broadcasting

    Interviewing guests on radio vs. podcasts

    How Grow The Show helped Jazzy change her podcasting formula

    Charging for ads in radio vs. podcasts
