What's the #1 thing new listeners look at when considering whether to listen to your podcast or not?No, not your cover.Not the episode title.Not even your show notes.And not even the guests you have on the show…Surprisingly, it's your show description.It's the #1 thing new listeners look at when considering a new show to listen to (podcasthost.com).YES.Your show description.You know that thing you wrote when you first launched and haven't optimized since then…?YUP, turns out that's statistically the #1 thing new listeners look at when considering a new podcast to listen to.Seriously.But here is the thing, most podcasters have no clue that it's their billboard…It's the main thing that will either attract or repel more new listeners.The sad thing is after auditing 100s of podcast show descriptions, I can tell you, that most are repelling more new listeners…than attracting.And yours might be.Now I don't know about you, but show description? Well that sounds boring. But if we are trying to be a pro and turn more strangers into listeners we have to give it attention.So in this episode, me and Taig, my co-host for this show, geek out and spill all the beans on:Why can't you afford not to revamp your current show description if you want to attract new listenersOur 5 part framework is to write a killer show description that instantly turns strangers into active listeners of your podcastA psychological trick you can use to get more strangers to take action and engage with your show right awayAnd that's exactly what you'll discover after listening to this episode.So if you're ready to visit an old friend you haven't seen for a while (your podcast description)…To give her or him a makeover so you can start attracting more of the listeners you want to reach…I suggest you grab some popcorn, a pen, and paper, and your full attention and enjoy the show ;) Scroll up and click play.Show Description Checklist:1. Start with a Hook Question: Open your description with a question that resonates with your target audience. It should address a pain point, desired outcome, or a specific thing your audience cares about. This grabs attention and immediately signals to the reader that they're in the right place.2. Clarify Who the Show is For: Expand on the hook by painting a clear picture of your ideal listener. Use one to two sentences to describe the situation or mindset of your audience, making the content relatable.3. List the Benefits: Clearly outline what listeners will gain from your podcast. Mention three specific benefits or transformations they can expect by tuning in.4. Share a Mini Story: In one or two sentences, share the genesis of your podcast. This personal touch adds relatability and credibility.5. Describe the Format: Give practical details about your podcast. Mention the frequency of episodes, their length, and the format (solo, interviews, etc.). This section should also highlight your unique selling point (USP).6. Incentivize with a Call to Action: Finally, direct potential listeners to a specific, fan-favorite episode. This focused call to action, coupled with the promise of value (incentive), encourages immediate engagement.

It is the 1st of May, 2023, Monday morning. I greet you in Jesus' precious Name. This is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a Thought for Today. We start in the book of John 8:7,"He who is without sin among you let him throw a stone at her first.""Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one."Galatians 3:20Mediator... a peacemaker. "Blessed are the peacemakers,For they shall be called sons of God".Matthew 5:9A mediator is a go-between, he is the middleman. He is the referee, he's the one who keeps the peace, and that's what Jesus Christ is. He is the Middleman, the Mediator between God and you and me. That's why I love him so much. Now you and I have also been called to be God's representatives here on Earth. We must stop throwing petrol onto the fire. We need to start talking things through. It's not a case of my way or the highway. No, no, no, that's the world's system. There's too much of, "I have my rights". Oh, my dear friend, you and I don't have any more rights, we gave our rights to Jesus. When we become Christians, followers of Jesus, we surrender all our rights just like He did for us. We need to stand up for those who are defenceless, the poor, the weak, the old. You know, I've got a big brother who's two-and-a-half years younger than me, that's right. He's always been bigger than me, but you know why I love him? Because when we were at school he always came to my rescue when some bully was trying to take advantage of me. But I want to tell you today about the greatest Mediator that's ever lived, His name is Jesus Christ, that's why I love Him so much. I was in deep debt before I met Him.Do you remember that song, it goes something like this: He paid a debt He did not oweI owed a debt I could not payI needed someone to wash my sins awayAnd now I sing a brand new songAmazing GraceChrist Jesus paid a debt that I could never payHe paid that debt at CalvaryHe cleansed my soul He set me free I'm glad that Jesus did all my sins eraseI now can sing a brand-new songAmazing GraceChrist Jesus paid a debt that I could never payJesus bless you and have a lovely day. Goodbye.

Designing DharmaDharma was the pointOf 2500 years —And forever more* * *Matsuoka Roshi would often say that most people go through life with something missing; they don't know what it is, but they definitely know it's missing. Finally, he said, they come to Zen to find it. Zazen is, of course, not the only way to penetrate the truths of existence, but as Sensei claimed, any method that works — yoga, prayer, philosophy, martial arts, chanting, etc. — “will have something of Zen in it.” He would often mention examples of undivided attention in sports, like baseball —e.g. Willie mays — as evidence of the focus factor of Zen. Master Dogen expressed something similar, in a passage with which I am sure Matsuoka Roshi was familiar:When dharma does not fill your whole body and mind you think it already sufficientWhen dharma fills your body and mind you understand that something is missingFollowing this remarkable assertion in Genjokoan—Actualizing the Fundamental Point, he goes into a long analogy of the ocean appearing to be circular from our perspective when no land is in sight, and how all things are like this:Though there are many features in the dusty world and the world beyond conditionsYou see and understand only what your eye of practice can reach.This “eye of practice,” vintage Dogen coinage, comes close to giving us a clue as to what Dharma is, and how we should expect to apprehend it in our own direct experience, rather than as a concept or belief. The implication is that our eye of practice can become more discerning through, well, practice. Nowadays we interpret Zen practice as indicating meditation itself, but of course it is all-inclusive of the various dimensions of life, as outlined in Buddha's original Eightfold Path, a kind of prescription for practice.In another passage, Eihei Koso Hotsuganmon—Dogen's Vow, the great Master and Founder of Soto Zen in Japan indicates that the Dharma is a trans-sensory phenomenon, not limited to an object of perception as such:We vow with all beings from this life on throughout countless livesTo hear the true DharmaThat upon hearing it no doubt will arise in usNor will we lack in faith“Hearing the true Dharma” does not imply hearing someone preaching the Dharma anymore than “seeing” what our eye of practice can reach implies visual perception. This is the “see” of “I see what you mean.” My best friend in high school used to say, with a mischievous grin, “Yes, but do you mean what I see?”You could make the case for “feeling” the true Dharma as well, and go beyond the senses in your embrace of the Dharma as having to do with sensation altogether, as Master Dogen mentions in Jijuyu Zammai—Self-fulfilling Samadhi after a long, effusive description of realization:When for even a moment you express the Buddha's seal By sitting upright in SamadhiThe whole phenomenal world becomes the Buddha's sealAnd the entire sky turns into enlightenmentAll this however does not appear within perception Because it is unconstructedness in stillnessIt is immediate realizationSo by this we are to understand that expressing or hearing the true Dharma is a transformational experience, not subject to ordinary understanding. But this should not surprise us; what, of all the many phenomena we experience on a daily basis, can we be said to truly understand? That the Dharma is beyond understanding does not mean that it is not real, or that it must be unimportant. We do not “understand” birth, or death, nor most of what happens in-between.At this point you may want to shout, in exasperation, “Please stop talking about Dharma and just tell me what it is!” If Dharma is beyond understanding, yet accessible to awareness, it is certainly beyond concepts, and far beyond words. Which brings up the central stanza from Tozan's Hokyo Zammai—Precious Mirror Samadhi:Although it is not constructed it is not beyond wordsLike facing a precious mirror Form and reflection behold each otherYou are not it but in truth it is youSo this unconstructed dimension of reality can be pointed at, if not captured, in words. Which explains the written record of some 84,000 sutras and the vast body of commentary on them from India, China and Japan. When it comes to the instructions for meditation, which Zen claims to transmit the method of Buddha himself, the words are not pointing at a description of reality, but rather offering a prescription for a do-it-yourself approach to entering into the true Dharma directly, through whole body-mind immersion. So as Pogo the Possum famously reminds us, “We have met the enemy and he is us.” The Dharma is already present in its multifarious manifestations, from the world of nature as well as the machinations of human kind, and beyond to the unlimited, inconceivable universe. The only thing coming between the true Dharma and ourselves is our own ignorance, both innocent and willful. It may help to consider the contrarian position that we already hear the true Dharma, that in fact we cannot hear anything but the true Dharma. Elsewhere I have argued that anything and everything we hear has to be dukkha, the universal dynamic of change that we human beings interpret as “suffering.” In order to hear any sound, the sound has to emanate from some level of change. No change, no sound. Similarly, we can assume that any sound we hear, including that of human voices, constitutes an instance of Dharma. It cannot be otherwise. Confusion sets in when we understand the language that the human voice is speaking, particularly if they are speaking of the Dharma. Instead of witnessing the concrete event that happens to be producing intentional sounds directed toward illuminating the Dharma, we find ourselves bogged down in the dualistic concepts being expressed in language, which is inherently dualistic in nature. Both things can be true at the same time, as the popular trope has it.The design of Dharma would then relate only to the spoken and written teachings, perhaps extending to the establishment of temples, monasteries and Zen centers as intentionally promulgating and propagating the practice. When we read the record of Buddha's teachings, or sutras, assuming that they capture the events fairly accurately, we can see that the format for their live presentation was similar to the ubiquitous talk show of today. Typically a member of the Order would interview the sage, asking questions for the benefit of the audience. Occasionally Buddha would have a guest or two sharing the couch.Our charge and challenge today is the same. How we present the Dharma to today's audience will be the determining factor in its acceptance, assimilation, and effect upon the denizens of our world. In my opinion, Zen may be one of the few hopes we have for world peace in an increasingly mad world. How we introduce Zen to the madding crowd and whether we can make it accessible to all levels of society will greatly condition the influence that the “compassionate teachings” have on the future. This is why we emphasize householder Zen, rather than the monastic model, in the Silent Thunder Order.If the Dharma were dependent upon a specific lifestyle or mode of living in the world, it would not be the Dharma. Imagine a world in which Zen has not yet been discovered and the method of its transmission is yet to be invented and designed. The bare manifestation of reality is still the Dharma. Or even further, a world on which there are no human beings to “hear” or “meet” the true Dharma, as we are told was the case a mere 250 to 300,000 years ago. The Dharma was already operative in that inchoate world. Dharma has many connotations. A couple that are indicative of its deeper meaning are that of a “being” — from a minute particle to the largest galaxy; and that of “law” — as in natural law, or the way reality works. In this latter definition it is close to a principle of physics, or Taoism's the “Way.” So Dharma as “teachings” in the form of words is merely pointing at the true Dharma that transcends words.But language is one of the most powerful and precise media that we have available to convey meaning But in communications design, the message is the message received, not the message sent. Master Dogen was a master of the language, as was Matsuoka Roshi, doubling down in his non-native tongue of English. That these past masters used language instead of being used by it makes them exemplars of the approach to solving the problem of propagation of Zen today. In literary circles the advisory trope is “Write what you know.” The key to being able to share the Dharma assets is to hear, or meet the true Dharma, oneself. In a “publish or perish” climate, we can expect to find a lot of folks rushing into print at their first inkling into what they think they recognize as the Dharma, or its corollary in their vernacular.That there is a true Dharma implies that there can be a false Dharma, or many such anomalies. Or we may quote one of the ancient but timely Ch'an poems on the subject, Hsinhsinming—Trust in Mind:There is one Dharma, not manyDistinctions arise from clinging ignoranceOnce the subject of Dharma is identified and introduced into the vernacular, it becomes subject to the same distortions as any other topic of discourse. Zen offers a refreshing approach to this dilemma. We say with Dogen, in Fukanzazengi—Principles of Seated Meditation:You should stop pursuing words and lettersLearn to withdraw and shine the light on yourselfWhen you do so your body and mind will drop awayAnd your original Buddha nature will appearNote that taking Dogen's “backward step” is the opposite of attempting to understand by pursuing linguistic concepts. It is also, fundamentally, the opposite of “doing.” This is the intersection of Buddha and Dharma. By engaging in an intentional act of non-action, thinking non-thinking, and doing non-doing, the natural process of realization can take place. Do your best to do nothing about this.In the next segment we will take up the third leg of the stool, that of Sangha, the harmonious community. * * *Elliston Roshi is guiding teacher of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center and abbot of the Silent Thunder Order.

Everyone I know is lonelyAnd God's so far awayAnd my heart belongs to no oneSo now sometimes I prayTake the space between usFill it up some way - From O My God by The PoliceSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Greetings, bonjour what's happeningAnother week, yes indeed. So I've been home most of this week, ostensibly because of the rail-strikes but then I went and got COVID, again. Yea, COVID, who remembers that?I must have a mild-form of it because, touchwood, it's not been too bad, just a bit tired and throaty; bit of a headache. Seemingly spent a large of chunk of yesterday keeping an unsociable distance from my wife and scrolling on my phone. I'm not much of a scroller, normally more of a YouTube Video-Clicker-type. Seems a lot of people I vaguely know are at Glastonbury, having a decent time of it.Anyway, felt pretty unhealthy after a good-day of doing that and it reminded me how easily I succumb to unstructured behaviour and how it makes me feel; rarely good. A couple of emails I needed to reply too and this little blog, was enough motivation for me to get off my arse and do something. There's a fair amount going on right now, which requires my attention and sweeping it under the rug because of a bit of COVID is not going to do me any favours and it's not like I'm doing any back-breaking labour. But self-care, Paul? Relax, I might have a Twix.Speaking of labour and work, I had to cancel two of my regular gigs this week due to the train-strike, which I don't get paid for but I'm happy to forgo that. Large-up the strikers; from what I gather striking is a last resort, best of luck to them. I've been enjoying seeing clips of Mick Lynch talking on the telly. A lot of modern, mainstream-politics, seems to me to just rely on window-dressing via tokenistic policies and meaningless platitudes. It's refreshing to see a bit of genuine pushback, with someone that doesn't sound like a PR auto-bot, with real-world-results. A timely reminder to Labour, perhaps, about who they've been ignoring, for the last thirty years or so?But we crack on. Amidst price hikes, wars and stagnating wages, we crack on. What else do we do? Sit on our blowers, mindlessly scrolling? No Thanks.So this weeks writing-offering is the piece I mentioned last week about chairs. I like a good chair It's in slightly better shape than it was but I'm still sure not sure about it, so I welcome any feedback. I've also tagged on a song at the end. Something that I recorded with my good pal Conrad Murray about ten years ago, who produced it.If this blog was partly about me pushing myself, I should be including music in that. I've been making music for a long time now but aside from that theatre stuff and the odd gig, I've largely kept it separate. Mainly because I overthink how people will react to it, as if there's not enough overlap between the two worlds and they'll think it's weird; when really, who cares? Silly, I know. Fear of other people's opinions is something that's always held me back. Be brave, clench fists, as Mike Skinner said.All this is in preparation for an EP that I've entirely self-produced; that I hope to have released by the autumn. I plan to start drip-feeding some of the music into this. One of the tracks is already out, you can hear it here. Because, Why not?  The song is called Another Day, you can stream it on HERESo that's it for this week, bit long-winded I know.Despite these turbulent times, I hope you all have a decent weekendPeas and tatersPaulCHAIR WARSThe set up for our form-tutor was three rows.Single-desk-row on the sidesDouble desk-row in the middleOur little firm hugged the first four desks on theRight-hand-side if you were facingthe front of the class, where MrsKhan sat, our tutorKells and Luko held the front deskMe and Gary the secondRam and Rhino sat behindShane and Danny at the backWe held it down during registration and theother random tutor group things we occasionallyhad to do like PSHE, whatever that wasThis and PE were probably the only timemixed ability kids, actually mixedgearing us up for the futureMrs Kahn was the form tutorFairly stern but liked a calm class, with the occasional giggleThere was never any set places for anyone to sit atNo formalised desk plan, we were year 11'sWith a gnat's eyelash of independenceTechnically, you could sit where you wanted, technicallyThe whole tutor-group seemed to tick to have theirpreferred spots and stuck to themThe prime real estate was the bottom leftBack of the classyou had the windows for a good-look-outI liked a good-look-out the windowThe back unit which you could lean onOr leave your bag onIt was a sweet-spotThis highly value piece of landwas held by a crew of girls who were legionabout 8 of themin any other lesson they wouldn't be sat at the back of the classThey were all nice girls and high-achieversBack of the class was for tough kidsAnd nobs, like meWho weren't tough butStill mucked aboutUntil we got told offBut occasionally gave a bit ofLip back to teachers.I wasn't happy about these unwritten rulesNo where was it stated that we had a seating planMrs Khan didn't roll like thatShe valued that gnat's eyelash of independence weWere afforded, as did we, as did ITechnically, you could sit where you wanted, technicallyYet we all fell into lineI've always questioned thingsI'm an ideas guyI felt it unfair the girls had a monopoly on that timeshareIt was only fair that us boys should share itShare and share alike andMaybe don't give it backOnce obtainedIt was out timeAction needed to be takenI called it onI said' listen boys, we should take that space'‘Tomorrow, we'll get into class early'‘And claim it as ours'So when the girls arrive, we'll already be camped-outFirmed up, having changed the locks, like squatters butWith the impact of revolutionaries but importantlyDone legally, we'd just be asserting our rightsBecause, technically, you could sit where you wanted, technicallyNext morning I arrivednervous but cocky but scared and ultimately unsure what I was doingpretty-much a default position for meat any point during my lifecounting on the support of my peers butnot guaranteed of itJust another dayGary arriveshe held a lot more weight than mePeople respected him moreHe wore Kickers and a Kappa puffa-jacketI had imitation Kickers and an Esinegger jacketBarely respectableBut sometimes Gary listened to me, sometimesThe girls-group all travelled in from the same placeTheir bus was nearly always lateSo we had time on our sideMe and Gary nodded headspicked up our bagsWe made our moveknowing that when the other boys arriveThe takeover would be completeBowled over like heroes thatNo-one had noticedPlonked my backback on the back shelf unitHad a good gawp out the windowThe world looked a grey sheen of finePut my feet up on the chair next to meBreathed the airtasted the momentIt tasted good butIt didn't feel rightButterflies?Felt wrongBut what was wrong?Technically, you could sit anywhere you wanted, technicallyWe got a couple of looks from the other people in the classNo one said nothing thoughProbably because Gary was thereBut we held it downIt was oursRhino and Ramo arrive in the doorThey clock us, then looked awayAnd sat in their usual seatsI felt a feeling rise within that wasn't t niceLike I‘d been dis-respectedA familiar feelingI casually smiled likeI hadn't noticed itJust butterfliesJust butterflies‘pussies' I said‘Don't worry Gary they'll be over in a minute'Gary looked non-plussed either wayI think he was just enjoying something differentKells and Luko arrivedPeople were scared of KellsHe wasn't scared of teachersOften disruptiveDidn't care much for orderHe was cerited to join the rankshe looked at us, then looked awayKells.

Determining when to take your standardized test shouldn't be an arbitrary decision. But while there are a number of important factors to consider, it turns out that there is an ideal time to prepare for and take your exam -- and this episode of The Dominate Test Prep Podcast will lay it all out for you.Specifically, we discuss four key considerations that apply to test takers for all standardized tests. We then drill down and walk through a specific example showing how you can work backwards from your application deadlines to figure out exactly when you need to schedule your test -- and perhaps more importantly, when you need to start studying for it in earnest.Whether you're just starting to think about how your standardized test fits in to the application process or you've already been studying and need to lock in an official test date, there will be plenty in this episode to steer you in the right direction and give you a workable game plan.Visit https://www.dominatetestprep.com for detailed study plans and comprehensive prep courses for all of the major standardized tests.

The LoserMama said I'd lose my headIf it wasn't fastened on.Today I guess it wasn'tCause while playing with my cousinIt fell off and rolled awayAnd now it's gone.And I can't look for itCause my eyes are in it,And I can't call to itCause my mouth is on it(couldn't hear me anywayCause my ears are on it),Can't even think about itCause my brain is in it.So I guess I'll sit downOn this rockAnd rest for just a minute...
