Podcast Envy: Podcasting Mindset, Voice, Impact Beyond Starting, Launching, Monetizing

Teaching yoga can go so much deeper than just cueing a physical workout class -- there is a certain way that a skillful teacher can use words and language and imagery to connect to  deep emotions and levels of awareness -- It makes perfect sense that they could use their voices and the skill and this talent in the medium of podcasting. ~Andrea Klunder Can podcasting change your teaching practice? Even if you're not a yoga teacher, don't skip this episode. You are going to learn so much about positioning, niching and marketing your podcast from our panel of yoga teacher podcasters.   Gabby Orcutt from Soul Speak Amanda Kingsmith from M.B.Om Kathryn Nicolai from Nothing much happens and Natalia Hastings from Flow With Me Yoga   Full show notes and free challenge: 5 questions you haven't asked about your podcast at http://bit.ly/podenvy035   Peace, love & podcasting, Andrea, Your Podcast Boss   Be featured on Podcast Envy!

Boo! In honor of the Halloween season, I’m serving up advice from our spooky supernatural friends, the ghosts! Ghosting: When a person cuts off all communication with their friends or the person they're dating, with zero warning or notice before hand. You'll mostly see them avoiding friend's phone calls, social media, and avoiding them in public.* Do NOT do this to your podcast listeners! I know, sometimes podcasting is frustrating. It’s a lot more work and takes more time than anyone ever lets on in the beginning. And there’s the whole downloads thing -- Apple is not the promised land of instant subscribers and an immediate crowd of podcast fans. Your show may not be the overnight success you imagined it would be.   But trust me -- your listeners are out there, and they need you. So what to do?  Full article in the show notes at http://bit.ly/podenvy034 This episode originally appeared as an article on LinkedIn.

Shannon Crow from The Connected Yoga Teacher is with me on this episode to talk podcasting and social impact. Actually, she reached out to me originally to talk about impostor syndrome (one of my fave topics), so we cover that too! I LOVE what Shannon is doing with her podcast, and even more so with her community of yoga teachers, the hub of which is her Facebook Group. In fact, you may or may not know that before podcasting, my primary work was teaching yoga and meditation. I even owned and operated my own studio in Chicago for FIVE years and ultimately had to close because I just couldn't find a way to make the business profitable and sustainable with the resources I had available. Shannon Crow is definitely a podcaster using this platform to make a positive social impact. Whether you're into yoga or not, there's a lot you can learn from her. Listen to the episode to find out how she does it! And get the FULL show notes at http://bit.ly/podenvy033 Featured Podcast Angel CURRENT PODCASTERS! I'm loo

We are talking all about Podcasting for TV Fans! Well… TV AND movies, specific shows AND genres… It’s all things “fan-casting!” So full confession, fancasts are not a genre of podcast I typically listen to so after talking with Troy Heinritz of The Blacklist Exposed in episode 30, I got curious about what makes a good show, particularly the community building aspects because I think ALL OF US podcasters and aspiring podcasters can learn a lot from these producers. To help me out, I enlisted the expertise of 4 show creators: Shannon Entin of Stinger TV and Movie Podcast, Ozarks Dirty Laundry and The Supreme American Horror Story Podcast Theo Burbank of Freaky Franchise Ginger Wiseman of The Outlander Podcast AND The All Souls Podcast Matt Marr of TV Tea Time, a Riverdale fancast — y’all know if you listen to my other show The Creative Impostor, I love Matt. He was featured on episode 072 of The Creative Impostor talking about vulnerability, being an artist and his other podcast The Dear Mattie Show.   A hallow

Episode 025. One of the magical things about podcasting is that sometimes you get to have a great conversation with someone who may have different opinions than you AND simultaneously find out how much you have in common.

Episode 020. Are you having trouble falling asleep? I’d like to introduce you to, Harris, Host of the Sleep Whispers podcast, whispered ramblings and readings to help you sleep. You know… ASMR stuff! I’ve been featured, or, rather, guided meditations I’ve written have been whispered by Harris on his show. The latest one is here (episode 123 Fade Out!) But if you can’t go to sleep JUST yet, these podcasting tips from Harris will help give you something to think about during your waking hours: #1 - Regardless of what other podcasters tell you, you can't "give" your audience value.   The value of your podcast content is determined by each listener, they will decide if it has value.  The analogy is like saying you are going to tell a funny joke. Nope, each person who hears a joke decides if it is funny to them.  The important message here is to ask for feedback and listen to any you get, that is the only way you will know if your content has value (or if your jokes are funny). Harris, I couldn’t agree more! For
