Have you ever noticed that people who don't have podcasts seem to think that podcasting is really easy? Here at Grow The Show, we like to say that making a podcast is easy, but making a good podcast is really hard. However, there is a reason people who don't know better think that what we do is effortless. That's because the best podcasters make their shows sound smooth and natural. It sounds like two people having a really good, interesting, and funny conversation. Even though it sounds effortless, it actually takes a ton of work to make a podcast episode sound completely natural. Today, we’re joined by NPR producer and host Lauren Migaki who will teach us how to do that. If you want to produce a high-quality, natural-sounding podcast as efficiently as possible, join us for this week’s episode of Grow The Show. --------- JOIN GROW THE SHOW PRO See here how Grow The Show Pro will help you grow + monetize your podcast, at a simple low monthly price.

Did you know that you can permanently grow your podcast audience by 25% by releasing just ONE podcast episode? That's right. Just one. BUT, you don't get that kind of growth from releasing an episode on your own podcast feed. Instead, you have to be a guest on someone else's podcast. Don't just take it from me, however. Take it from this week's Grow The Show podcast guest, Angie Trueblood. She's the founder of The Podwise Group, and she's the host of the Go Pitch Yourself podcast. Long story short, Angie is a podcast pitching expert— her entire job is all about getting people featured as guests on podcasts. Today, she's sharing all of her secrets with Grow The Show Listeners. If you're ready to learn the most effective way to get yourself featured on other podcast feeds and to skyrocket your audience size in the process, then you've gotta check out this episode!

(Note: this episode originally ran on May 5, 2022) The reason why most podcasters struggle with growth has nothing to do with their actual growth strategy. It's actually because their premise and their audience definition are vague, confusing, and broken. They don't work.  Even if you have the juiciest most effective growth strategy, you're not going to grow if you don't have your premise and your audience definition locked in.  So, that's what we're going to focus on in today's episode.  I'll share two exercises to help you create a super specific audience profile and show premise.  By the end of the show, you'll be able to identify what makes your show totally unique, and refine your show's premise so that it actually HELPS you to grow your audience.
