But the industry has changed. New podcasters are trying to find the fastest way to "success" by chasing the most popular podcasters they know. Companies are pushing products to grab your money with one hand, and give you a bunch of low-affect tasks to do in the other. Podcast Influencers are sharing advice they've sourced from the Internet, but never tried themselves. Or they make armchair assumptions about what SHOULD work, not what DOES. The "Common Wisdom" isn't wise anymore. And there are more unhappy and unfulfilled podcasters today then ever. "Coffee with a Podcaster" is your podcast industry reality check. I (Matthew Bliss) sit down with you, over a coffee, and help you find fulfilment and optimism in a podcasting world filled with bad advice dressed up as self-improvement. I want you to listen if: ⁉️ You're no longer a beginner and overwhelmed with uncertainty. ⁉️ You feel like you're running on the podcast production treadmill. ⁉️ Your podcast doesn't make you happy. ⁉️ You're constantly asking how you should change your podcast. ⁉️ You feel anxiety when you hear new advice, and feel like you're leaving growth on the table. ⁉️ You've forgotten why you started Podcasting in the first place. I've been in the podcast game as a podcaster, editor and producer since 2020. I've seen all the changes, the rhetoric, the financial incentives, and the bad advice. I've grown through it, and I want to use my experience to help you find happiness with your podcast. Too many people have dug too deep on podcasting, and they're stuck. I want to lift you out of the hole and help you find the reason you started podcasting in the first place. Let me be your friend in podcasting, and let's find your happiness in your podcast together.

Everything's new, and you can't get enough from social media and courses to build your knowledge base.

But eventually you learn everything there is to learn, and the common wisdom is tapped out.

So where do you go for better answers after you begin podcasting? Enter my pet theory: "Podcaster Knowledge Divergence". Seek the path of uncertainty at the fork in the road, and reflect internally on your podcasting questions to find better answers (and questions) so you take responsibility for your own podcasting growth.

Calling time of death on podcasting for one reason or another is a chief marketing tactic to bring about existential dread in a podcasting world of uncertainty.

We all know that podcasting may never die. So what does it mean when we see these posts?

In this episode you'll get a dramatic reading, a humble criticism and what I want you to do when you see one of these leading hyperbolic lines on marketing copy.

Not only does it brandish recommendations for podcasters without apologies, but it minimises the power of learning how and what to choose for equipment and software for your circumstances.

In this episode, I level my criticisms against the website (despite the good intentions) and share what you should take away from it, with a splash of optimism for how you can approach your own podcast learning journey.

Love your Podcast Again.TRAILER: Anti-Optimisation. Pro-Optimism. Love your Podcast Again.The Podcasting Industry has supported open-standard audio and video production for independent podcasters, business owners and creative minds across the world.

But the industry has changed.

Podcasting is no longer about creativity, art and finding your people. Its littered with million-dollar companies driving market share, influencers pushing “content engine” products by inventing trends and tips, and the biggest podcasters telling us how they made the big time.

All this doesn’t sound bad, until you realise that podcasts themselves haven’t really changed much at their essence. But the advice has. The incentives have. And what was once “common wisdom” is no longer wise.

I’m Matthew Bliss, and I’m reviving Coffee with a Podcaster because I have found myself buried in all podcast nonsense being talked about in the industry. I’m forlorn and overwhelmed — all of it is focused on tasks to optimise hooking an audience and making money. Its all external. No one loves making their podcasts anymore.

So I’m here to give you my two cents on products, news and advice in the podcasting space in my casual “over-a-coffee” format. I’m going to tell you what I think of a particular issue, and provide an objective view on it. Companies don’t want you to think beyond their marketing, but I want you to rethink everything.

And a lot of this stuff makes me frustrated - but I’m optimistic. I want to share that optimism with you, and give you my own thoughts to guide your thinking and love your podcast again.

And there’s no end to podcasting podcasts for beginners to get the fastest, easiest, best tips for growth and optimisation. Go listen to them, but come back here for a show that explores more than just HOW to podcast. I want to help you find your WHY.

Ultimately, this podcast is about love. I love podcasting, and love the people in it. And I want you to love your podcast again too.

Anti-optimisation. Pro-Optimism. Join me on Coffee with a Podcaster: think differently and love your podcast again.

Anyway, I'll share my thoughts from last week today. I wanted to take some time to justify and explain the affiliate that I tack onto the top and bottom of each episode: Brain.FM.

Its a music player with unique effects involving "entrainment" that utilises theta, beta, alpha waves to improve focus on a task while you listen or relax while you meditate.

For podcasting, I use it to distract myself from contantly seeking perfect audio from my edits (I needlessly endless task) AND to keep myself focused to perform my edits faster.

This is one of the most common questions in podcasting forums, and there will most often be two answers:

  1. Buy a Dynamic Microphone
  2. Treat your Room

The latter is what I'll address in this episode, as I've got experience spending hundreds of dollars treatment, and then as little as possible due to housing constraints. Listen in for my advice.

  1. Buy a Dynamic Microphone
  2. Treat your Room

The latter is what I'll address in this episode, as I've got experience spending hundreds of dollars treatment, and then as little as possible due to housing constraints. Listen in for my advice.

Mentioned in the Episode:

Booth Junkie YouTube Channel (a BRILLIANT resource!): https://www.youtube.com/@BoothJunkie/videos

The blankets I bought as treatment: https://boxdepot.ie/products/transit-blanket?_pos=1&_sid=08f0421f4&_ss=r

You might be using AI or systems to automate tasks in your workflow, and preserving your time is important to make room for creativity and content.

But is your automating of that task killing a potential connection with your listener?

In this episode, I pitch the idea that when there is no intentional input from us as podcasters in our generated assets, we no longer care about connecting with our audience and it is tantamount to low-effort self promotion.

And before you react... take a second to think about it, formulate your response and let me know via the Speakpipe link below.

We often don't think about the true value in these text-based versions of our podcasts though!

In this coffee convo, we have a talk about Accessibility being the primary purpose for transcription and opening up your audience potential, followed by the value of having a written version of your show even without the extra stuff created from it.

REFLECTION: Do you create a transcription for your show? And why/why not?

Coffee with a Podcaster is a podcasting project I've had in mind for a while, so I thought I'd share a few principles I've made for myself about keeping it sustainable, innovative and interesting.

In this episode, we're having a chat about how I'll be avoiding Podfade and the expectations I'm setting for myself to ensure the podcast can continue. These key principles are a sampling of my approach, and hopefully will help you too.
