    E399 - The Power of the Pause to Make Your Podcast Better - Enhancing Your Podcast Communication

    Episode 399 - The Power of the Pause to Make Your Podcast Better - Enhancing Your Podcast Communication The Power of the Pause: Enhancing Your Podcast Communication For podcasters looking to improve their communication skills, mastering the art of the pause can be a game-changer. By incorporating strategic silences into your speech, you can reduce filler words and create a more engaging listening experience. Benefits of Pausing Eliminates filler words: Pauses can replace "ums" and "ahs," making you sound more confident and in control Improves audience engagement: Short quiet moments grab attention and create excitement for what's coming next Enhances understanding: Pauses give listeners time to process information, especially for complex topics Adds emphasis: Strategic silences highlight important points, making them more memorable Types of Pauses for Podcasters Reflective Pause: Use this 3-7 second pause after sharing complex ideas to allow listeners to contemplate Effect Pause: A brief 1-2 second pause creates anticipation and lets words resonate Spontaneity Pause: This technique makes your content feel fresh and thoughtful, even if it's well-rehearsed Implementing Pauses in Your Podcast Practice mindful pausing: Before recording, take a moment to center yourself and set intentions for your episode Use pauses for transitions: Silence can signal a shift between topics, much like paragraphs in writing Embrace the "pregnant pause": Create suspense by pausing after thought-provoking statements or surprising facts Vary pause lengths: Mix short, medium, and long pauses to maintain a natural, conversational flow Remember, pauses aren't just empty space—they're powerful tools that can elevate your podcast's quality and impact. By mastering the art of the pause, you'll not only reduce filler words but also create a more polished, professional, and engaging podcast experience for your listeners.____https://howtopodcast.ca/

For a more up-to-date glance of what they get up to head to their website here.  MIC media is a social enterprise that amplifies often underheard stories and voices. In 2022, MIC won the Silver Award in the Grassroots Production category at the Audio Production Awards and in the same year nominated for a Manchester Culture Award. MIC’s also received a nomination in the British Podcast Awards and the Manchester Publicity Awards (MPA).   Also in 2022, Vic contributed to The Guardian and Third Sector news as a podcast specialist. In recognition of her achievements to date, Vic features in the Top 100 Women in Social Enterprise List 2022 (WISE 100, Natwest and Pioneers Post), was nominated as the ‘Social Impact Star’ at the Inspiring Women Changemakers Awards (2019),  is recognised as a role-model on the prestigious Northern Power Women Future List 2017.

She’s a massive advocate of the power of informal learning, DIY approaches and talent as routes to success and amplifying underrepresented voices.

    Podcasthon.org 2025 - Humane World - The Humane Society Charity and Why We Support Them

    Podcasthon.org 2025 - Humane World - The Humane Society Charity and Why We Support Them As long standing supporters of our local Humane Society, we wanted to feature this charity as our recommendation for oour invlovement in Podasthon.org's 2025 feature this week. Podcasthon is the world’s largest podcast charity initiative, bringing together podcasters globally to raise awareness for charitable causes. Behind this growing movement are two visionary co-founders: Jérémie Mani and Yves Delnatte. Jérémie Mani is a French entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in the digital industry. Before dedicating himself entirely to Podcasthon, Jérémie built and sold two successful companies in email marketing and content moderation. After moving to Canada in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he began reflecting on how he could use his skills to make a meaningful impact. Rather than launching another business, he wanted to create something that would mobilize thousands of people for a greater cause. That’s where Podcasthon was born—a volunteer-driven initiative aimed at uniting the power of podcasting with the needs of charities. Yves Delnatte  is a seasoned entrepreneur and investor with a rich background in business development. He has founded and led multiple ventures across various industries, bringing a wealth of experience to the table. Yves’s journey has been marked by a commitment to leveraging business as a force for good, which naturally led him to co-found Podcasthon alongside Jérémie. His vision is to harness the intimacy and authenticity of podcasts to drive awareness for important causes, creating a global ripple effect of positive change. Traditional fundraising methods like charity galas, marathons, and auctions have their limits. They often require large budgets, exclusive access, or short-lived engagement. Meanwhile, charities around the world struggle to reach new audiences and create long-term connections. Podcasthon started in 2023 with 300 French-speaking podcasters. It grew to over 400 in 2024 and is now expanding worldwide. Our dream? To see Podcasthon become a global tradition, uniting thousands of podcasters in dozens of languages each year. We believe that “podcasting for good” should be more than a buzzword. It should be a movement. By leveraging technology, storytelling, and community engagement, we hope to inspire millions of listeners to care, to act, and to make a difference—one podcast at a time. https://donate.humaneworld.org/page/160655/donate https://www.humaneworld.org/ https://youtu.be/mOSnB0y-uKQ?si=zmSfGJbS60JTTu2I ___ https://howtopodcast.ca/
