Make sure that you let us know WHO you are going to connect with in this week's post on the She Podcasts Facebook Group! We would adore hearing from you, email feedback@shepodcasts.com Show 026 Quick-Guide Welcome Espree Devora! The story of a beginner podcaster who finds out podcasting is IT. Does podcasting have a reputation that you cannot make money directly from podcasting? What does it really take to build a business where your podcast IS the business? LOVE as a key factor in podcasting as a business. A conversation about the crazy-ness of what’s going on with the podcast “Serial” and the crazy phenomenon. Society is ready for podcasting now - and it manifested itself via Serial. A bit of wisdom from a new podcast trendsetter via Donna Papacosta. What are the factors that have driven podcasting into the main stream media. We need to teach our audience how to subscribe and/or listen to our podcasts - all the different ways that you can do it. Espree’s podcast distribution strategy, which includes Stitcher, Soundcloud and iTunes, and how she uses each. The theory of engagement in a podcast: plot, authentic emotion, companionship. Espree got Alex Blumberg to introduce her podcast!!! There are no rules for podcasting, peeps. You make the rules. Espree has a challenge! Who do you want to meet? Why? And why it would be mutually beneficial for BOTH of you. Alex Blumberg is on the show - by proxy ;) @hunterwalk’s tweet about “Tech industry discovers podcasting!” “Is podcasting going to be a hits-driven business, or can you make a business out of having moderate successes?” Community is SO important. And whether it’s financially viable is yet to be proven. Elsie does not want the definition of success in podcasting to be tied to download numbers - a paradigm needs to be changed. Elsie found Espree on Medium and stalked her and now she’s here and part of the community. The scoop on the awesomeness of WeAreLATech. FEEDBACK REQUEST! Go in for THE ask!
