Within the first 43 seconds, I knew exactly what was on offer—a huge plus in podcasting!Relevant and Concise Introduction: The episode kicks off with a summary that pulls me in without getting lost in the weeds. The intro isn’t overloaded with fluff or irrelevant self-promotion, which made me want to keep listening.Audience Connection: I love how Erin Ollila addresses the listener directly (“Hey, friends” althought I would prefer singular, "Hey Friend"), making things feel personal and authentic. It sets a welcoming tone that’s easy to connect with.Immediate Value: Erin Ollila quickly outlines what NOT to do (abandoning old SEO work for new AI optimization or ignoring changes entirely) and sets up the value she’ll deliver. That makes me curious to hear the actual solution.Smooth Flow into Useful Content: There’s no wasted time—the show transitions seamlessly from intuition and context to actionable information I can use.

I appreciated the heads-up on AI-generated voices. I knew exactly where I was going as the episode progressed. What I Thought Could Use Some PolishingI'm undecided about the AI reading the scripture. It reminded me of Yul Brenner. These weren't horrible robotic voices (but reading the King James Version doesn't help—even when a human reads that version, you really have to pay attention). This is going to be one of those things that you either like, or you don't. You might be like me, and be on the fence. I think over time, you get used to the AI accent.

Website: https://dailysportshistory.com What I Liked About This EpisodeI liked the description. I loved the topic (Terry Fox) What I Thought Could Use Some PolishingYour audio quality sounds like you used a noise reduction and went too far. I even took off my headphones and listened through computer speakers. When your audio quality distracts the listener from what you are saying to how it sounds, that's a problem. This is an easy fix. If you are using a built into the laptop computer check out the Samson Q2u https://supportthisshow.com/q2u and find a quiet room The music at the beginning either needs to fade is as you are wrapping up (and then fade out as the story starts, or just lose it and use the WHOOSH which was quite louder than the rest of the show.

    DescriptionTimothy Kimo Brien brings his experience with podcasting since 2006 as a listener and a podcaster. He is here to help you outsmart the algorithm and find your next binge worthy podcast. Here is how the show works, Tim combs the millions of podcasts currently available for free on various platforms and then he comes back to you with what he has found. Sure you can use the search engines for recommendations from many podcast apps, but Tim feels that getting a personal recommendation from a real live breathing person is still the best way to find the gems that are out there Website: https://www.findapodcastabout.xyz/ What I Liked About This EpisodeI love the concept. The music reminded me of early Joe Jackson (Mad at You) What I Thought Could Use Some PolishingI don't think I needed the play-by-play of where we are going. Can you just roll in sound quality, etc into the story of what you think? I've never seen car talk, so maybe this just isn't for me. For me, I don't need or trust stats (i.e. Listen notes). Even without Listen notes, I want to know what YOU think about the shy and why YOU think it's good. I don't think I'm the target audience for this show. P.S. Your show is not appearing in Apple.

    The AI Learner Lounge - Reviewed

    DescriptionWelcome to the 'AI Learner Lounge' - the podcast fusing AI + Learning & Development. I’m your host, Kambria and I’m here to help L&D professionals, instructional designers, and educators like yourself redefine what’s possible with artificial intelligence. Explore the real-world applications of artificial intelligence in the L&D space. Discover use cases and strategies. And get practical tips tailored for professionals like you. From exploring how AI facilitates individual learning to understanding its integration into broader organizational strategies, we tackle it all. Join me every Tuesday morning for a new episode Website: https://www.aiinnovationlounge.com/podcast What I Liked About This EpisodeYou did a nice job of starting the conversation by showcasing that we are already using AI, and it allowed us to slowly tie our current knowledge to future knowledge. In the end, when I pressed stop, I wanted to hear the rest of the episode. What I Thought Could Use Some PolishingThe music is a bit too loud on the intro and your microphone is a bit muffled compared to the rest of the audio. Also, it seems like you used some sort of noise reduction tool and went one notch too many so you slightly sound like you're underwater. BONUS: You should treat every episode like a blog post. The "all in one" podcast players have no SEO value, make it hard to share a single episode and reduce the ability to add keywords to your website. These are all easy to fix.

    DescriptionBirth As We Know It ™️ is a podcast that is dedicated to recognizing the many different ways that birth unfolds. You will hear birth stories and experiences from the perspective of the storyteller. That includes birthing people, partners, providers, birth workers, and more! This podcast was created to be a place where people can learn more about pregnancy and birth, all while hearing about what really happens in the birth space. Website: https://birthasweknowitpodcast.com/ What I Liked About This EpisodeI loved that you used your domain to redirect to your survey I loved that your guest sounded good I loved the trigger warning What I Thought Could Use Some PolishingMove the "join the community" to after the story Avoid the "tell us a little bit about yourself" instead take the answer and use it for your edited introduction. Use universal links like birthasweknowitpodcast.com/community instead of pointing to Facebook. The music bed is pretty low.

    Proxy with Yowei Shaw Reviewed

    DescriptionIn life, sometimes we have a unique experience that leaves us with big emotional questions. And sometimes, there’s no one around us who can answer our questions. Each episode, host Yowei Shaw connects a guest with the “proxies” they need - experts and individuals with shared experience. Not an advice show and definitely not therapy, Proxy offers something different: a space for people to confront, commiserate and even find the comedy (or cringe) through frank conversation. Website: https://www.patreon.com/ProxyPodcast What I Liked About This EpisodeIt's from a former NPR employee so lots of cool mood music and great recording. It's warm What I Thought Could Use Some PolishingFor me NPR always takes forever to get to the good point, and they fall in love with production and irrelevant details. In this episode, I'm sorry to hear you lost your job (I've been there), but you didn't give me a reason to care. Then you took a much longer time than needed to get to the actual show.
