TalkShoe Support Live

Do changes involve risks? For the last few Wednesday editions of TalkShoe Support Live I've talked about possible changes a Host can make - but do they or any other such changes come at a risk?

Changing your format. Maybe you find you are having difficulty attracting live callers or issues with having episode themes that that suggest shorter or longer episodes. Maybe 'real life' means you need to change from live to prerecorded content or maybe you feel the need to reach out for a 'co-host' of sorts to help with your show.

Changing ... your Show Description - every now and then it's worth checking the exact wording of your Show page description and make any changes you feel required.

Yes it helps if you have an episode topic but 'life happens' Maybe that guest you had booked can no longer make it this week. Maybe there is 'breaking news' which means you need to postpone your original topic. Maybe a story is still evolving and you want to wait until the dust settles. If you can use Social Media to update your listens on any such topic changes.

Keeping ... becomes Changing ... Yes, I've finally run out of 'Keep' & 'Keeping' topics (for now at least) hence the switch to - Changing ... and since our Show Badge has changed lets start with that.

Keeping it quiet ... other than speech that is! Your listeners what yo hear your speakers - but not 'pots & pans' - dogs, TV's etc, in the background - or even overwhelming that conversation

If you do your Show Live you will know your regulars are aware of your past content. But what if you just upload content? Those weekly downloads could be from a loyal band of followers or many one-off listeners. So every now & then give a re-cap of your topics covered. Remind them you have a whole back series of great content!

Having your Show on TalkShoe is fantastic! Having a supporting Blog can help greatly in getting that show wider coverage ... a 'Shop Window' if you will - of what your Show is about, when it's on - or provide extra just news and background. TalkShoe's Blog does exactly that!

Checkout the new updated 'Landing Page' on TalkShoe - yes, keeping things fresh is a great move!

It's likely that whatever your area of interest is - there will be changes, updates, discoveries or occasional notable events. Try to follow the news in your subject area and keep your show relevant!

Something I personally find difficult to .... that's keeping on topic!
