"(Readin' time: 5m 25s) I got a late start with writing today, but let's see if I can wrap up this podcasting series anyway. I want to touch on a few final points, including: Seasons or ongoing or miniseries? Publication questions: frequency, scheduling, etc. podcast and it'll just live at that URL until further notice. The idea for a podcast that promotes a specific service or product (rather than just being lead gen or trust building or deepening your connection with your audience) is an idea I lifted from Brian Clark. A few years ago, he created this really interesting podcast for the launch of his rainmaker.fm hosting company. The podcast explained the worldview his new product related to, and this struck me as a great way to build interest and urgency around the launch of a differentiated product. I'd link you to this podcast, but I can't find it anywhere right now. Any readers got a link? A fun sidenote on the topic of quitting.

"(Readin' time: 8m 15s) Since I talked so much yesterday about structural interest, let's move onto the next related concept, which is: being a good interviewer. To be clear, you may not need to do this for your podcast. It might be a solo show, or a 2-people talking show, or something else. But a lot of business podcasts involve interviewing, and if I can die knowing I've contributed to fewer crappy business podcast interviews, I'll die a happy man. Furthermore, the core skills of being a good interviewer have moment can be really powerful. Allllrighty! I think that's a pretty solid treatment of the interviewing topic. Tomorrow I'll move on to the question of publication: how often, how to make use of seasons or miniseries, and stuff like hosting, etc. Until then, -P\n"
