Ep034: Launching The Gritmen with Chris Kolkhorst
Feb 4, 202200:33:11Tap to summarizeToday on Podcasting Stories, we're talking with Chris Kolkhorst. Chris, you may remember, was a guest on the show back in episode 008 when he was thinking about starting a podcast, and at the time, we talked about his background and what he hoped to achieve from starting a show. Well, he ended up launching a podcast with our help, and now, 6 months later, we check back in to see how his podcast 'The Gritmen Show' is going. We had a great conversation about why he launched the podcast, what he really enjoys about having a podcast, and of course, the lessons learned and what he'd do differently. If you've ever considered having your own podcast, this is a great episode to get a perspective of somebody who had the same thought and who went on to execute that idea.

Ep033: Multi-Channel Podcasting with Tim Zacharias
Jan 14, 202200:49:09Tap to summarizeToday on Podcasting Stories, we're talking with Tim Zacharias, President of Cougar USA, a high-performance water control company for commercial buildings right here in Houston. Tim is also the host of the Building Value podcast, so we talked about how the show supports their business niche, the impact the show has had on their business, and his insights from being a podcaster. It was an especially interesting conversation as their approach focuses more on video and social media, whereas our approach focuses more on audio and email, so there's some great contrast and discussions based on the two perspectives. If you've ever considered having your own podcast or you already have a podcast, there's a lot of great lessons from this interview with Tim.

Ep032: Keeping It Audio with Stuart Bell
Dec 10, 202101:00:17Tap to summarizeToday on Podcasting Stories, we're talking with Stuart Bell, my co-founder here at YourPodcast.team. We caught up to talk about something we often get asked by clients, triggered, I think, by people's increasing comfort with Zoom, and seeing people like Joe Rogan releasing video; 'Should I record video as well as the podcast?' So in this show, we take a deep dive into the challenges and look for any benefits of video and concluded, with only so much energy and attention to give to this project, the additional overhead will result in fewer episodes for little return. It turned into a really interesting discussion on the pros and cons, so if you've been wondering whether video is worth it, listen in as we pull apart the benefits and challenges, and a great way to use the audio that gives almost all of the same returns.
