Highlights from this episode
When I worked in clinical pharmacy practice, knowing what I needed to work on helped me become a better pharmacist.\xa0 Feedback isn\u2019t always positive, but it is helpful.
Working with coaches as a voice actor is helpful. I get feedback from an experienced and trustworthy person who has a good set of ears. As a result, my performance improves.
Not getting feedback is frustrating.\xa0 If I don\u2019t know something is wrong, I can\u2019t fix it. \xa0
As a podcaster, I can\u2019t see my blindspots, but I want to know if I have some and what they are!\xa0 I would definitely like feedback from my listeners.\xa0 Please fill out the listener survey by July 31, 2021.\xa0 Here\u2019s a link to a google form:\xa0 https://bit.ly/3x7sSKG\xa0
I found another way to get feedback about my podcast.\xa0 I got reviewed on the Podcast Review Show by podcast consultants, Dave Jackson and Erik K. Johnson. They reviewed episodes 84 and 93 of my podcast.\xa0 Episode 84 is a solo show.\xa0 Episode 93 is an interview show.\xa0
I won\u2019t share every single point they made about my podcast, but I\u2019ll tell you 10 things I learned. \xa0
- I need to ask my audience to share my podcast with a friend. \xa0
- It\u2019s good to wrap up a show with a take-away.\xa0
- I need to share more about myself during my interview shows. \xa0
- I need to read my podcast intros faster and sound less stiff.\xa0
- During interview shows, I need to avoid asking questions and offering answers. Plus, I should not give guests a bank of questions (unless their legal dept requires it).\xa0
- I need to be less shy about editing. It\u2019s ok to edit an interview to keep the momentum of the conversation going and keep the listeners engaged.
- Redirecting guests is good for the listeners. I need to politely interrupt guests in order to keep interviews on track. \xa0
- Explain why listeners should go to my website.\xa0 Ex:\xa0 show notes, to hire me, to hear my demo, to access links to podcast players.
- Have a \u201cword of the week\u201d to advertise my Drug name pronunciation course, which is called Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro.\xa0 You can find it at https://www.kimnewlove.com
- I sound a little stiff in my solo shows.\xa0 I need to go for conversational, fun, and warm.
The big take-away from this episode is that getting feedback is a good thing. \xa0
