About This Episode
Welcome to the 100th episode of #KBNRS!
Yes, I know, I can’t quite believe it myself, yet here we are 4 years since the first episode celebrating number 100.
We’ve had some amazing guests (and hopefully some great solo episodes) over the years, and I wanted to share this celebration with a really good guest – which is why I was delighted to be able to bring back a guest from series 2, podcast expert Gary Jones, so we could talk all things podcasting and a whole lot more.
And oh my goodness did we have a great chat!
Naturally we took dive into the world of podcasting and how to make it successful. From starting with just a phone to upgrading to fancy equipment, Gary shares tips on how to create consistent and valuable content.
We also explored what it takes to create a good podcast, a good story, a strong narrative for your listeners, regardless of what sort of podcast you are creating.
To better understand this, Gary discussed the storytelling techniques used in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and how they can be applied to podcasting, including a look at including criticism of Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania’s disjointed storyline, while exploring how individual perspective and consistent themes can help ensure quality and success in your podcast. Finally Gary and I discussed approaches to podcast creation, editing, and marketing.
As always, you can listen to this episode via the audio above, or if you prefer to watch us having a chat then there’s the video version of it below.
