Converging Paths in Podcasting: Tales of Grit, Growth, and Amplifying Your Voice
Have you ever wondered how two distinct podcasting paths can converge into one electrifying journey? That's exactly what Jeff Dwoskin and I tackle, sharing a laugh or two while dissecting the DNA of our podcasting adventures. With candid tales from the trenches of digital strategy and marketing, Jeff illuminates wisdom only a true connoisseur of conversation could provide. We reveal the gritty reality of podcast perseverance, likening it to the endurance needed to pen a novel, and the sheer determination to overcome the dreaded 'pod fade.'
Reaching out to high-profile guests often feels like throwing a message in a bottle into a sea of uncertainty, doesn't it? Jeff and I swap stories of those nail-biting moments, from the sting of rejection to the thrill of an unexpected "yes" that turns the tide in our favour. We peel back the curtain on the art of networking and the golden rule of persistence, embodying the spirit of independent podcasters who bravely stand their ground amid the glitz of celebrity-backed shows. It's a reminder that every 'no' has a silver lining, potentially paving the way to a future 'yes.'
Then there's that moment when you realize your content is being drowned out by the din of social media trivialities—an experience shared among creators, including myself in my 20-year comedic venture. That's why we introduce Stampede Social, the game-changer for podcasters seeking to amplify their Instagram presence. As we draw this auditory escapade to a close, our hearts are full of gratitude for the listeners and the behind-the-scenes maestros who keep our podcast wheels turning. We're eager for you to join the ongoing conversation, share your thoughts, and become a part of this ever-expanding podcasting community.

Crafting Content and Connecting Globally Through Podcasting, with David Cunningham
Ever wonder what it's like to hop from the dynamic airwaves of radio into the calculative world of financial services and back again? Tune in to our latest episode where Dave Cunningham, a man of many talents, sits with me, Carl Richards, to recount his enchanting journey. He opens up about his love for radio discovered at university, leading to a hearty twenty-year career before seeking family stability in finance. But as the allure of broadcasting never waned, Dave's retirement became the birthplace of "The Kingstonian," his podcast that unwraps the stories of individuals fueled by passion. His venture is a testament to the power of genuine conversations and a yearning to craft content on his own terms, far from the rigid timings of traditional radio.
This episode isn't just a walk down memory lane; it's a masterclass in the art of the interview, something I’m passionate about. Dave and I exchange battle stories and tactics for drawing out the most compelling narratives from our guests, shaping conversations that spark and flow. We tackle the hurdles of engaging reticent interviewees and share the joy in connecting with a global audience, thanks to the wonders of modern analytics. From a local radio host's unexpected playwright success to the global reach of a retirement hobby podcast, this episode is a treasure trove for anyone curious about the enchanting world of podcasting or simply looking for inspiration to follow their own rekindled passions. So, press play and let us whisk you away into a world where conversation is king and every voice has the potential to echo across continents.

Customer Reviews
Conversation with Inspiration
Carl's story is inspirational, yet he doesn't make it about him, he makes it about YOU! For his guests, he welcomes you as a friend, and wordsmiths (yeah, I turned it into a verb) you into importance and relevance. For his listeners, he brings great content in a fun, genuine, easy-to-listen-to conversation. I appreciate that even though he is an awesome public speaking coach, he welcomed me, also a public speaking coach, to his podcast and so eloquently explained that we each bring something unique to our clients. What a professional and amazing person!
