That's the only reason do you think gaining audience today is the same as when you started no not even when you have too many guys that are just there's too many choices number one it's hard for people to find your show you thing has been word of mouth we introduce an interactive component to our show way back in the day which did a great was a great help was called what's this liberty like a co host or anything that is a celebrity no now we're all independent I don't have a zero desire to be a celebrity I just I do gas because I enjoy it and I got involved in it with him I respect and I started doing a little podcasting on his show and then eventually dispose off from that you know unlike I just took off prince and so it's just different there's too many shows too many celebrities too many people that I honestly don't think are very good podcasters and I don't mean that but I found far more interaction in the group I find groups much more beneficial facebook has really added a lot of algorithms that unless you have constant conversation in your pages nobody's even GonNa find it whereas groups I've I find a you get much better conversation and you get in and other podcasts are celebrities everybody wants their own show I mean everybody thinks they are celebrities and they decided they're going to have a podcast so oversaturation they did a ton of promotion facebook twitter that sort of thing word of mouth what was very high I'll be honest our biggest just more people that really WanNa talk about whatever your topic is what are three key social media practices that you either use or would recommend Qui ones most of them show up do their thing and don't really care to get better There are exceptions Deck Shepherd is one where he came in his show was not very good I didn't think Hashtag your posts so people can find Amisi be regular you know don't make sure you have knew that they would have a concentrated audience that might that are very similar to the Hollywood outsider so therefore those listeners would sample but he seems to have taken advice and criticism and applied it to make it a better podcast which I respect that at least he somebody who's a celebrity and taking it serious the celebrities are the like the the biggest thing because they they come in they get the big dollars behind him at the ad revenue they get the you know they walk to help him with the technical stuff because he he didn't understand it and he didn't know how to understand it so I'm I worked in it I've been in it so I understand the technical side of it as a team I really believe we we've done most of our success from word of mouth I haven't paid for anything you know we're in a very very competitive we're probably the because of apple you have to limit exactly how many descriptors you could even have about what your show is so unless you completely rebrand yourself it's hard for people to even find you media posting with social media feel like if you're not active every day at least several times a day people will forget about you and not only that but on facebook chemistry it's always been chemistry it's been whoever I'm doing a with the their passion for the topic and our chemistry moving basically pay a very short movie clip people write in and guess what the movie isn't it got a lot of interaction got people talking about the show they would share it on social media that sort of thing he's instagram a little bit but honestly it's I'm just don't know how to master it I'm not go with pictures what is the secret to your podcast success they dutiful schedule make sure it same time every week so people know when to look for things and encourage people to share your podcast like audio dramas or audio comedies they haven't really taken off to the level I think they're capable of we've heard a lot of great content fast now when you said make sure it's beautiful schedule are you talking just the podcast or do you have a strategy with a schedule for social competitive while next next to true crime next the true crime I think we're probably the most competitive podcast categories TV and film and we all over seven thousand likes or something like that which is g

Are you a celebrity with the podcast specifically not im- particular so we do have conversations with actors that are on the show so excited about and thank you could use okay that's enough business now let's get on with the interview hi Troy please describe your pod season five so there have been celebrities on our show but beyond that they don't have any relation to the podcast on a regular basis fans of the show who like to hear from Amir Arison who plays the character of Aram on the television show or the lead actress Meghan Boone I am not a celebrity depending on how you wanted to find celebrity so when I talk to my friends at work and around my church and around she plays Elizabeth keen on the show she's come on the podcast before back in season four we had interviews with James Spader you've heard of that guy he was like this eighties liberty by celebrity standards but I'm a celebrity in a smaller community around my local nece is there any celebrity associated with the blacklist podcast we star instill is a fantastic star in his own right in the TV series that he's done well we actually got to interview him for the one hundred episode that aired during it was easy to find your tribe because there were you know facebook and twitter we're still kind of trying to find social media back down on social media I've been around for about five years do you think gaining audience today is the same as when you started that's a really good question I think it's harder today to gain a into the community and just keep pulling people in through tweeting throughout the course of the episodes at that time on Monday night and Tuesday night and the Thursday night Friday night Louis loyal audience it takes a lot of work when we started the blacklist back in what was the fall of two thousand thirteen when the show started out people IRC Schatzer maybe posting comments on the actual blacklists webpage run by NBC specifically in so I think for that with US probably makes millions of dollars an hour of television and so from that perspective no I don't make a Crapton of money like they do so I am not but when you think about people that watch television in particular it's an older demographic so they're just trying to figure out how to use social media and get involved with it you're still trying to Suss to gain the same audience it was challenging we have a very large facebook group and we have a pretty good sized downloads for that specific show but it's not the same biggest thing that we did to grow our audience was twitter when there is lots of conversation happening about a particular television show in our case because that's our engagement with that audience so we have a lot of people but if I were to say put ads sponsor on a Westworld podcast I don't know if I would get the same version rate even though I have more listeners than it would on the blacklist podcast because the blacklist listeners are loyal to troy Aaron I and therefore more people so I think over time we've built up a loyal audience the hard part today is that if we had to go back and do that from square one which we did for our bread and butter we're live watching the show and as the show is airing we're tweeting along and we're tweeting at the main blacklist account from NBC we're tweeting with the writers you say hey go by this we probably better conversion rate with a smaller audience what are three key things you've done to grow your audience well number one the so what are three key social media practices you've done to grow audience the number one thing you can do on social media is when you starting a facebook group in particular and a twitter account and an instagram account right out of the gate it was easy for us to then Sir to reach people in order to pull them Ah podcast called beyond Westworld for HBO's Westworld we're actually the first westworld podcast in itunes and apple podcasts and we found that but it's not just us posting stuff out there it's US responding to stuff head a lady just today who said Hey I just started watching all the blacklist I've injured all the way through acres genre and then of course the second the second thing we did was actually reach out to people involved with the show specifically so we got a writer and then we also then started doing instagram pictures and video and audio grams through our instagram account that caught the attention of sation by doing that actually gets us to a point where people think than they tweet at us they're actually tweeting at the show and it's like hey you guys did a great job tonight AH blacklist room on twitter were tweeting at the guest star that's there that week as well as the rest of the actors and we're following the Hashtag so just being present in the conference has your tweeting enough that you're in the people to follow spotlight on twitter or people that are trending in this topic I think that's when you know you've really made it in that you start to build out a spreadsheet and then all of the people that you interact with you can figure out one or two personal things about them so that as you're going through normal conversation with them and then number three I think it's being responsive to the actual community

Yeah mytalk passes those conspiracy guys and it's a a conversational conspiracy show where we take some of the classic conspiracies like nine eleven sasquatch. Ask watch these usual fair. We also do political and cultural analysis on discuss it in a friendly forty forty eight manner and the humor in some of the topics is like the sugar to helps the medicine go down a roundtable discussion usually with three guests and there comedians for my old life a stand up comic in dublin city in ireland and the join me we have the roundtable discussion as easily casual conversational and some of the episodes go six seven hours which seems maybe manageable for for a podcast yet people seem to love and we get another little feedback people like the conversation they like the kind of casual nature of it and we like to delve deep into all the topics so we go into what's usually on the internet is our our main fair and if there's some books or some specific knowledge that we need to guess we go look in there so the remainder of the show is to take whatever is online and examined that run our bullshit meter over us to see if it's true or not true and at the end of the show at we get off the fence and give our own personal opinion union about the information that we have to find so it's a it's approachable. 05:24 - 10:35 It's functional. We ruin our browser history so you don't have to look up stuff like jimmy. Savile at bush end the conversation under discussion like the deep discussion and taken a pirate. These theories is what people really idiot joy. When did you start podcasting. I started the idea. Those conspiracy in mid don't twenty thirteen . That's where we were doing a show. I was already already given up. Stand up comedy. Eh i was itching to perform in some way shape or form on a the two original conspiracy as we all came together and started making this show ice tacked on my own in summer twenty thirteen and i started to produce the show learning how to make websites learning how to do with podcast learning about the industry at listening today of jackson's podcast on the podcast and pasolini as well and trying to figure out like what makes you need and equipment. Could we get away with because we didn't have. I didn't have much time working part time job at a phone store job as a traditional irish music at guides ramdan city so you know it was a weird time a climate for a whole year we launched in twenty twenty fourteen in september eleventh with show on nine eleven and into . The whole first season was over before the end of twenty fourteen so what's over just over four years doing it now and it didn't take off straightway. It has grown to a behemoth now. Are you a celebrity or are there any celebrity celebrities associated with your show. I don't think i'm a celebrity but i have been stopped in the street like a bunch of times. I'll be like only got you the guy from the tang and i'm like yes. Yes i am but i always take step back because we conspiracy finds it could end up being like allows nice which is like. I love you so much stop. I don't think i've ever heard love knife before today's daytime if they can't it if i can't have you nominee will stab stab stab i think now with the amount of people that listen listen for the amount of time that they do. I think of which classes some as some sort of celebrity yeah but i don't think of myself. I'm still doing sits around in my underwear like macomb podcasts when you started your podcast. I know that you're talking about the podcast part of it but when you started do you think you were a level of celebrity already. I don't think so at all because you said you end up comedy yeah but i mean like sixty . Sixty people knew who i was like. There's there's more. There's more people at . Acute style bookstore would have known me for being a stand up lenient. You're mostly friends and stuff you know in like zero capacity was as liberty when i started winning our first couple the twenty thousand downloads amount which is huge for a new show wanted to move with data is getting those emails at the standards audits is cool on it seemed like vindication stand up here in ireland and you're doing thirty or forty people. They didn't initially buy a ticket to see just you. It was more like a showcase type things so they show up in the news just general comedy happening so you were just like a pleasant or sometimes unpleasant surprise so you have to go there.
