A podcast is an audio or video recording of a talk show, interview, lecture, or personal narration. The term "podcast" was coined by Ben Schott in 2004. The diverse uses of podcasts are endless and can be applied to any field. From education to entertainment, podcasts have become a popular medium for sharing information and opinions with the world. You can use podcasts to convey your thoughts, ideas, or opinions on a particular topic. You can also use them to inform people about your interests and expertise. There are many ways in which you can make money with a podcast, such as advertising revenue from sponsorships or advertisements and selling subscriptions to your audience. Join this conversation with Dave and learn more about the power of podcasting.Dave Jackson is an Award-Winning Hall of Fame Podcasters who launched the School of Podcasting in 2005. He is a featured/Keynote speaker, author, and podcast consultant. The School of Podcasting features online courses, group coaching, and a safe and supportive community where you can plan, launch and grow your podcast. In this podcast episode, we will talk about podcasting, who it is for, and how to be successful while keeping it fun.Key Highlights from the Show [00:01] Episode intro and a quick bio of the guest, Dave Jackson[01:32] Dave's backstory and how he got into what he does [04:13] Should anyone start a new podcast today?[08:41] Industries where a podcast is a good marketing tool[13:20] Dave's advice to all podcasters[21:53] Know your audience well[23:04] Is it recommended to go back and redo your first episodes?

However, do not dwell on telling stories because no one cares. [24:34]In podcasting, be prepared to pivot in a way because change is always inevitable. [27:08]Podcasting is not always about news and education. We need to be entertaining. So you don't have to write a script.

Blender Bluid and Amy Do are back on the podcast for a VERY absurd episode. We get into the down and dirty of the free market's response to the very USA-based problem of school-based gun violence. As far as the more grim episodes go, this is one that we tried to bring a lot of levity to (especially about 24 minutes in). First we take a look at the products, then the politics, then profit-based active shooter training programs. There's a lot of ways to make money off of national policy failure and consistent tragedy, apparently. A little note I want to say to everyone: I think this episode is very important, but I beg of you to not inappropriately share this episode every time there is a mass shooting. It's a (relatively) funny one, and I don't think it's appropriate to plug it under inevitable tragedies. That already happened to my NFL episode in the wake of the Damar Hamlin injury, and I just want to say that it makes me really uncomfortable. I'm proud of my work and I'm SO happy people are spreading it, but I want to do my part in being an upstanding and thoughtful creator. XOXO.

Ben Schott, meteorologist-in-charge at the National Weather Service office in Slidell, explained why storms have been slow to form after two years of record-breaking seasons, and what we can expect before the end of November.   On the anniversary of Hurricane Ida, WRKF/WWNO Coastal Desk reporter Kezia Setyawan spoke with storm survivors who reflected on their experiences during the storm, progress toward recovery and damage remaining a year after the storm tore through southeast Louisiana. Also, WWNO's metro reporter Carly Berlin breaks down what to consider when a storm is approaching and evacuation is on your mind.   Today's special episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Halle Parker, a reporter on our Coastal Desk.

There's a zany book published several years ago by British author and photographer Ben Schott that has “invented words” using the German language. This book — Schottenfreude: German Words for the Human Condition — inspired composer Eric Nathan (who teaches at Brown University) to write an 84-minute magnum opus — Missing Words — that now has its world premiere recording. Released on New Focus Recordings, the album and how it came to be is quite out-of-the-box with a synergistic collaboration between many artists and ensembles such as the Boston Modern Orchestra Project, American Brass Quintet, cellist Parry Karp and pianist Christopher Karp, International Contemporary Ensemble, Neave Trio, and Hub New Music. Both Ben Schott and Eric Nathan join me on the Classical Post podcast to discuss how this project came to be, along with random miscellany that is delivered with witty charm. — Classical Post explores the intersection of classical music, style, and wellness, diving into meaningful conversations with leading artists in the world today.

Composer Eric Nathan releases the world premiere recording of Missing Words (2014-2021). Performed by the Boston Modern Orchestra Project, American Brass Quintet, cellist Parry Karp and pianist Christopher Karp, International Contemporary Ensemble, Neave Trio, and Hub New Music, this 84-minute magnum opus is a six-part series inspired by German words invented by writer Ben Schott in his book Schottenfreude (2013) that describe ineffable experiences of contemporary life. The musical works speak to intimate yet shared experiences that range from the tragic and beautiful to the comic and commonplace. With Missing Words, Nathan finds meaning in the phenomena that add color to everyday life. Schott has contributed a foreword for the album and Robert Kirzinger wrote the liner notes.Purchase the music (without talk) at:Eric Nathan: Missing Words (classicalsavings.com)Your purchase helps to support our show! Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by La Musica International Chamber Music Festival and Uber. @khedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#LaMusicaFestival #CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber Please consider supporting our show, thank you!http://www.classicalsavings.com/donate.html staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.com This album is broadcasted with the permission of Katy Solomon from Morahana Arts and Media.

David speaks with Ben Schott who is the meteorologist in charge for NWS New Orleans about the 2021 Spring severe weather season. There's also a discussion of recent major tornado and flood events in 2016 and 2017 and how that has changed the way we warn the public.    

Bloomberg’s Ben Schott wrote the story that shook the millennial-pink branding world. His article on “modern blands” opened the eyes of many who felt tired by the well-trodden aesthetic of modern millennial brands. His most recent piece, “Generation Z, You’re Adorkable”, focuses its lens on Gen Z-focused brands and how their countercultural tactics might be nothing more than big-corp brutalism. Listen now!

Har du också märkt att alla märken plötsligt ser likadana ut? Då kan din instagramfeed vara infekterad av Blands. Allt från tandborstar till matkassar till försäkringar säljs nu på samma sätt – de är uppstickare som ska vara det självklara alternativet för den som är trött på den rådande ordningen. Men vad säger den nya paketeringen om vår ekonomi? Ben Schott på Bloomberg reder ut begreppen.

This week Ian McMillan and guests are turning to humour to help us get through difficult times. If 'comedy equals tragedy plus time' - how much time do we need to make something funny? Or is it more dangerous to leave a topic too long, and risk your audience moving on? Because in comedy, timing is everything... Joining Ian are Ben Schott, the author of two novels set in the Jeeves and Wooster universe on why so many people have turned to P.G Wodehouse during lockdown, comedian Grainne Maguire on the challenges of performing to masked audiences and how comedy will adapt to socially distanced audiences, Kate Fox has written us a brand new poem on why she's found it difficult to be funny recently, and Dr Matt Winning explains how he makes climate change funny - and why humour might be the key to making people care about the planet.

Dans ce nouvel épisode de News & Analysis, je retrouve Viviane Lipskier pour parler du capital de marque ou comment se créer une crédibilité culturelle.Viviane est fondatrice de Brandalchimy, elle est l’expert DNVB en France et accompagne les marques à repenser leur business model dans l’économie Direct to Consumer (D2C). Elle est l’auteure des « DNVB : les surdouées du commerce digital ».On décrypte le phénomène de Bland Brands (ou Blands) inventé par Thierry Brunfaut, qui désigne les nouvelles marques aux esthétiques similaires et s’inscrivent dans un paysage économique saturé. Elles adoptent toutes un branding fade en vue de réitérer un succès, mais très vite se pose la question de la différenciation.De ce constat, Viviane nous explique l’enjeu primordial de la construction d’un capital culturel pour une marque. Dans un monde plus que jamais en quête de sens, elle analyse les clés essentielles pour établir une identité de marque pertinente afin d’être un leader d’opinion et non plus un suiveur. « Une marque, c’est le reflet d’une vision du monde dont on est porteur. On ne peut plus faire une marque de produits, aujourd’hui ça n’existe plus. »Ce que vous allez apprendre dans cet épisode: Le phénomène Blands décrypté, ses esthétiques et à qui il s’applique La crédibilité culturelle et l’identité du patrimoine culturelleÊtre culturellement crédible rend une marque désirableLes marques à succès ne parlent plus à leur public, mais plutôt à travers lui. « Le succès ne se trouve pas dans une recette qu’on peut dupliquer et adapter à son projet, il faut vraiment être unique et creuser son chemin en reflétant une personnalité unique. Si on regarde bien les marques qui réussissent à long terme, ce sont celles qui ont réussi à construire ces fondations-là, qui se concentrent vraiment sur une identification à leur client et qui ont une singularité d’identité qui correspond à la culture du fondateur. »« Si tu créés une identité de marque à l’emporte-pièce dans les premières années, en réalité tu n’acquiers pas ce qu’on appelle la crédibilité culturelle. C’est-à-dire que tu ne participes pas à créer une culture en tant que leader, mais tu restes un suiveur. »« Le succès, c’est construire un état d’esprit spécifique plutôt que de s’adresser à un groupe démographique. » N’oubliez pas de vous inscrire à la newsletter de Entreprendre Dans La Mode, les industries créatives et l’art de vivre sur www.entreprendredanslamode.com Aussi, si vous souhaitez me contacter ou me suggérer de nouveaux invités, vous pouvez le faire sur Instagram sous le pseudonyme @entreprendredanslamode Enfin, le plus important : laissez-moi un avis sur Apple Podcast ou iTunes, 5 étoiles de préférence ; cela m’aide à faire connaître le podcast à plus de monde et me motive à faire de meilleures interviews !

Sally quickly strengthened from a tropical storm to a category 2 hurricane yesterday, but has weakened some since then. Still, it's a slow moving storm, with a forecast that could bring days of rain to some coastal counties, with the strong potential for flooding. For the latest on Sally, we are joined by Ben Schott from the National Weather Service in Slidell.Segment 2:Coastal and southeastern Mississippians are starting to feel some of the effects of Hurricane Sally. The storm is expected to bring winds, storm surge, and lots of rain. Some residents are under evacuation orders; others have elected to ride out the storm. In either case, the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency is preparing to respond. As MEMA Director Greg Michel tells our Michael Guidry, the early preparations for the storm were coordinated in a way to adjust if Sally's projected path continues to change.Segment 3:Mississippi residents will be under a mask mandate through the end of September. Yesterday, Governor Tate Reeves announced that he is extending his Executive Order through the end of month. But he is also easing restrictions on restaurants - citing the declining trend in COVID-19 cases. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

For the latest on Sally and the threat it presents to Mississippi we are joined by Ben Schott of the National Weather Service in Slidell.The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency and National Guard are preparing for Sally and the severe threat of flooding it brings. MEMA Director Greg Michel says the combinations of storm surge and flooding could impact Hancock and Pearl River Counties.Segment 2:The number of people going hungry in Mississippi has increased during the coronavirus pandemic. As MPB's Kobee Vance reports, Mississippi leads the nation in food insecurity.Segment 3:Approximately five and a half million Americans face the daily challenges of Alzheimer's - including over 57,000 Mississippians.

After working as a stage manager, running all over the place in a theatre, then being shackled to the desk writing for soap operas, Liz Nugent became bored with dull, desk-driven office work, and became an author.

We talk about how he braced himself to write for the characters of such a legendary literary icon, and how he designed the best chance to do him justice. Also, we learn about how Ben dealt with the language and plot that Wodehouse dealt with so creatively, why there's no perfect writing day, and how the initial idea for his story came on a long train journey, while musing about Donald Trump.We'll get a top writing tip from one of the most successful authors still working today AND you can win $2000 worth of book marketing.PLUS... save 20% on Scrivener, the writing software that makes telling your story soooo much easier.@writerspodwritersroutine.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Helena Bonham Carter discusses how she drew on her own experience of depression for her new film 55 Steps which is based on the life of Eleanor Riese. Riese was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 25 and successfully sued a hospital in San Francisco for the right to refuse anti-psychotic medication. At the time of her court case in 1989 Riese was 44, and had been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for several years.

SUMMARY"Well, butter my buns and call me a biscuit!" Martha and Grant talk about great catch phrases from old-time radio comedies. Also, why do we speak of a meteoric rise? Don't meteors plummet? What do you keep in a Fibber McGee drawer? Plus, myriad vs. myriad of, enamored of vs. enamored with, autocorrected text messages. And Martha shares a trick for eliminating those annoying verbal fillers like "um" and you know" from one's speech. FULL DETAILSThey say it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for an autocorrected text message to be, well, correct. Listeners like Arnold share their funny Autocorrected text messages. And by Arnold, we of course mean Brooke.http://n.pr/fz6qI4Well, shut my mouth and call me Shirley! Butter my buns and call me a biscuit! A listener shares several of these humorous imperatives. Grant explains that the roots of these phrases probably go back to the 1940s. Phil Harris, the bandleader on Jack Benny's radio comedy, was known for using such colorful catchphrases. An early version was Cut off my legs and call me Shorty!http://bit.ly/exqCLYMartha shares a childhood misunderstanding sent in by a listener. Seems her three-year-old daughter confused the phrase "exposed to the elements" with "exposed to the elephants." What do you call an expert speller? A "Words With Friends" enthusiast wants to know. Martha tells her that a great speller is called an orthographer or orthographist, from the Latin roots ortho- meaning "straight" or "correct", and -graph meaning "to write". A bad speller, on the other hand, is a cacographer, or as it's known among them, a kakagrifar. What is the term for that big inflatable play area you see at the park, or in your neighbor's yard? Is it a bouncy house? A jump? Grant asks listeners what they call this modern pumped-up playpen. Our multi-talented Quiz Guy Greg Pliska, served as musical composer for the television documentary Flying Monsters 3-D.http://www.flyingmonsters3dmovie.com/That experience inspired him to create a puzzle using phrases that have the same letter appearing three times in a row. For example, where will you find trumpets and trombones? In the braSS Section.What do you keep in your Fibber McGee drawer? That's what some people call a catchall container for household items. Grant traces the term for the drawer back to the old Fibber McGee and Molly radio comedy. Whenever Fibber had to fetch something from the closet, that meant a green light for the sound effects guy to let anything and everything come tumbling out. Classic Fibber! http://bit.ly/igh3HsWhy do we say someone whose career on the ascent is enjoying a meteoric rise? Don't meteors plummet? For that matter, a caller asks, why do we call "Heads up!" when a ball is coming towards us? Shouldn't it be "Heads down"? The hosts explain that "meteoric" in "meteoric rise" refers to the speedy, brightly streaking nature of a meteor. As for "Heads up," well, no language is perfect.Grant shares a word he's been encountering at conferences: discussant. A discussant is someone who, after a series of papers are presented, takes the microphone to summarize the information given and offer opinions on the matter. Should you use enamored of or enamored with? Grant explains that while North Americans use both, enamored of is the more common of the two. In Great Britain, it's enamored of, a construction similar to those in several Romance languages. Enamored by, on the other hand, should never be used. But then, love is always worth expressing, no matter the preposition. A listener reports that when her cat starts whining, she tells it to shut its kibble-hole. If only cats understood wordplay--or English.Ben Schott's language blog Schott's Vocab on the New York Times website held a contest for modern age greeting cards called Get Web Soon. Among the favorites: "Heartfelt condolences on the loss of your data" and "Congratulations on your relationship update". http://nyti.ms/e0YbYeA listener from Tennessee has a saying that doesn't quite land with his friends: "Is it any count?" Martha confirms that the phrase is most definitely Southern. It originates in the word "account," and the question of whether something "adds up." What does hoot mean? You might describe someone as a real hoot. But is the hoot in the phrase not give a hoot a different kind of hoot? Grant explains that in the positive case, hoot is a shortening of hootenanny, a informal party with folksy music. In the negative sense, however, to hoot at somebody means to disapprove of something. Is it really possible to change your style of speaking so that you stop using the verbal fillers "um" and "you know"? Yes, you can. Martha relates her experience with dialect-coach-to-the-stars Sam Chwat. He was adamant that by catching ourselves every time we use that conversational crutch, we can consciously train ourselves to avoid it. http://n.pr/eoFauXShould you use myriad or myriad of? Actually, either is fine. Here's what David Foster Wallace had to say about the question in his commentary for the Oxford American Writer's Thesaurus: "[A]ny reader who's bugged by a myriad of is both persnickety and wrong--and you can usually rebut sniffy teachers, copyeditors, et. al. by directing them to Coleridge's 'Myriad myriads of lives teemed forth.'"http://bit.ly/bSX35G--A Way with Words is funded by its listeners: http://waywordradio.org/donateGet your language question answered on the air!
