Understanding the Newbie Podcaster
I enjoy Evo’s podcasting insights and digestible tips and strategies for new and experienced podcasters alike. The 10 mins of usable and transferable content is exactly what I need to better my craft. I don’t have to understand podcasting jargon or be an audio engineer to implement his insights. The messaging is clear and given in a friendly tone, like a professional friend who’s expertise you can trust. Thank you for putting in the work and providing us with a glance into your wisdom!
So many little priceless insights for a newbie
These short episodes are packed with so many very important aspects about creating episodes that serve my audience and provide value. Anyone can create content. Evo consistently provides us with thought provoking concepts that challenge us to raise the bar before we publish.
I’ve been trying to catch a few of the FB Live shows but it’s difficult to do with consistency. Thank you Evo for allll of the WORK it takes to flip them into a podcast episode that I can listen to later.
