Cardinals vs Cubs at Wrigley - Series Preview The Cardinals had to Chicago for the first head-to-head matchup with the rival Cubs over the weekend. And they'll meet a team that's surging, thanks in large part to a dramatic improvement in starting pitching. But there's been drama that had it's own drama for Cubs fans in the last year, and before we dive into baseball, we tackle the elephant in the room. Corey Fineran from Ivy Envy helps me work through the Addison Russell dilemma, then we talk Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo finding their groove, how Jason Heyward is changing minds by the day, and how the trio of starters this weekend for Chicago are impossible to predict.

The Cardinals and Cubs have each seen their fair share of NL Central teams already this month, but there's nothing quite like the Cubs/Cardinals rivalry... I don't care what American League fans say! Corey Fineran is one of the hosts of the Ivy Envy podcast (@IvyEnvy). While I can't imagine many of you Cardinals fans would choose to listen to a Cubs podcast, I did it for you, and I can tell you, it's a good one! Both Anthony Rizzo and Jedd Gyorko could return to action early this week. José Martínez could make his lasting mark on the rivalry. And Jon Lester will have another go at Matt Carpenter... who could use a confidence boost or two in the series.
Corey (covers the Chicago Cubs on IvyEnvy.com) shares his experience from the Suites at Notre Dame Stadium when Wake Forest visited the Irish.

Comments" Call 888-563-3228 I've spoken about Corey Fineran before and how his Chicago Cubs podcast Ivy Envy helped get a rule changed in Major League Baseball. Corey's boss saw the impact podcasting creates and talked Corey into starting a podcast for his job. Corey's podcast helps high school students with special needs transition into the workplace. It went over well. It lead to him starting Next Up (His own business) Here are some key points: They tried it to see if it would work. They got feedback from their audience, and listened to it, and acted on it. They updated their equipment after they proved the concept. Corey's goal is to help as many students as possible. His niche (students with special needs) is often overlooked, or has no budget. So he created the content that was needed. One night it was speaking with his brother in law (who is well versed in running a business) and they realized that he could reach more students and have a larger impact if he did this on his own, and start his own company. So Corey: Used his brother as a resource to launch the business Converted his current employer into his first customer Used his mother (an accountant) to help with taxes Growing His Business Corey found that educators are not used to being "pitched." The tried and true strategies of mass emails, cold calling, etc were not going to work. So he did what any good podcaster would do: He went to where his audience was. He started attending events where he could talk face to face about his products and services. Common Podcast Lessons and Truths Translate to Business Listen to your audience and be open to suggestions When you have a great podcast people will spread the word about your show When you can, the best way to get feedback from your audience is face to face. It is also the best way to start building those relationships. While your audience can become your brand advocates, so can your family (so make sure they know what you are up to).

Corey Fineran is the founder of IvyEnvy.com and the lead host for The Ivy Envy Podcast. He has been a Cubs fan since 1985 and he and his co-hosts discuss the Cubs from a fan perspective on his show. Corey and I talk about a variety of different things on today's podcast, but what I found most interesting are the creative ways Corey and his co-hosts are monetizing the podcasts through meet ups and the use of Patreon. It's definitely worth a listen! Aside from that, we talk about Facebook, fan engagement, and even honey bees! 03:35 - Corey had no idea what he was doing when he first launched his podcast. 06:50 - Corey didn't think about format in the beginning. 10:35 - Corey recommends you host meet-ups even if you know no one will show up, because it gets you comfortable with being out of the studio. 15:15 - What has Corey learned about audio since creating the podcast? 16:25 - It can only get so good when you rely on the internet to record your podcast. 16:55 - Content is more important than audio quality, to a degree. 18:00 - An audience that has been built organically has much more staying power. 18:45 - Corey didn't pay attention to the numbers, because he really enjoyed engaging with the audience, not matter how small it was. 19:15 - It changes your perspective when you look at your download numbers and compare it to speaking to that many people in a room. 27:20 - Does Corey remember a time when he had a connection with a listener that took him aback? 27:50 - Respond to your audience and really take the time to nurture that connection. 28:20 - You have to build your listenership one fan at a time. 31:15 - A majority of Corey's listeners are on Facebook, but he still engages quite a bit with them on Twitter. 33:20 - Corey created a Facebook group for his Patreon supporters. 41:25 - For his sports podcast, Corey does make it clear to everyone that he and his co-hosts are sports fans, not experts. 48:35 - Corey talks about his other podcast, Podcasters' Group Therapy. 53:10 - What is the most misunderstood thing about Corey? 56:20 - When was the last time Corey laughed out loud? 57:35 - What has Corey changed his mind about recently?

We are going to help you improve your English, grow your grammar, vocalize your vocabulary and perfect your pronunciation! In this episode: Adverbs of frequency and strong collocations Listener Feedback: Hello my friends, I am from Argentina and, of course, you are my friends because you travel in my car every day when I go to my work, 15 minutes each time (each way / there and back)), 4 times a day. I really like you and I enjoy your podcasts. I listen (TO) them again and again. I have got them in my mp3 player and I laugh with your laughings (with your laughter/I laugh when you laugh/I laugh aloud with you). I am trying to listen and listen because it is very difficult to me to understand conversations, I read English good enough (quite well/well enough) and my interest is for traveling to other countries. Please correct this and I send a big hug to both of you. A question from Pau (the question king!) You look very much happier today, David! (is it correct?), I am telling you that (asking you this) because I have found that it is possible to use "very much" with the comparative, but I don't see the particle "than" anywhere, so I'm a bit confused...

Go to: Patreon.com/inglespodcast (First sponsor Corey fron Ivy Envy POdcast about the Chicago Cubs baseball team - ivyenvy.com - Corey Fineran on YouTube for videos which will help you get a job) Grammar: Adverbs of Frequency siempre - always casi siempre - almost always normalmente - usually, normally a menudo - often a veces - sometimes raramente - rarely casi nunca - hardly ever nunca - never We usually put adverbs of frequency BEFORE the main verb (antes del verbo principal): "I usually get up at 8." - Usualmente me levanto a las 8. This is also true if there is an auxiliary verb: "I have often thought of emigrating." - He pensado muchas veces en emigrar. But, we put adverbs of frequency AFTER the verb TO BE: (después del verbo "to be"): "Reza is never late" - Reza nunca llega tarde. (Reza is occasionally late - occasionally = ocasionalmente) Sometimes, adverbs of frequency can be put at the beginning or at the end (en posición final o inicial): "Normally, I get up at 8." - "I get up at 8, normally." Expressions of frequency: una vez a la semana - once a week dos veces al día - twice a day tres o cuatro veces al mes - three or four times a month todos los viernes - every Friday cada dos horas - every two hours todos los días - every day How often do you..... go back to Belfast? - 3 or 4 times a year How often do you visit your family in Moraira? - about twice a month / every 2 weeks have a fried English breakfast? - I hardly ever have on these days drink Guinness? - I often drink Guinness when I'm in Ireland, but I almost never drink Guinness when I'm in Spain speak Valencian? - rarely, 3 times a year Watch football - very rarely go to bed before 11pm - not often, about once a week wear socks with sandles - now, never! swear (decir palabrotas, soltar tacos) - once or twice a day record a podcast - about once a fortnight, once overy 2 or 3 weeks get your haircut - about once every 2 or 3 months Vocabulary: Strong collocations Sometimes in English you might come across two words joined together with "and". The order of these words is a very strong collocation and it's usually fixed. For example, fish and chips (no se dice Xchips and fishX). Here are some more examples: neat and tidy pros and cons (advantages and disadvantages) gin and tonic rock and roll trial and error peace and quiet toast and marmalade stocks and shares black and white thunder and lightening Ladies and gentlemen boys and girls life and death right and wrong black and blue thick and thin in sickness and in health for better and for worse Craig and Reza's Weekly wind-ups (to wind up = annoy, irritate, bother: fastidiar, disgustar, molestar) Reza: People who ask a question and then don't listen to what you say Craig: The number of messages, alerts or "things you have to deal with" on apps - Facebook, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn, always that small number, in a circle, on your phone (more than your PC) it signifies "there's something I haven't done."

I announce the winner of the Beginner's podcast rig (Mic, Mixer and Cables) Question from a listener: Wayne Brooks - Most of my podcast I listen to on iPhone sound distorted and at a high speed. Is there a setting on my phone or itunes software that I can adjust. Or is it the Broadcaster? Click the lower left hand side of the screen where it says 1x,2x, 1.5x or .5x speed until it says just 1x speed. It worked and he's listening to me (and other podcasters) in Normal mode :) -------------------- Moving from BTR Paul Kennedy asks a question about moving from Blog Talk Radio: Audio comment in the show and the answer in the show. ---------------- Should I have a link to my RSS feed on my website? Should I even have a website? Yes and Yes (more details in the show) ---------------- Contest winner Announcement: First, how I made the drawing truly fair. I put all the names/email addresses in random order using https://www.random.org/lists/. Then I put them back into a spreadsheet in that order and then put the numbers of lines of the spreadsheet into random.org and and did it one more time. The first name/email address on the random list was the winner. AND THE WINNER IS: Corey Fineran! Congratulations. From Corey: I'm emailing to introduce myself (and to get my name in the drawing a 2nd time). After the introduction, I'll explain why I'd like to win the mixer and mic. I'm Corey Fineran and I've been podcasting for six years. My main podcast is Ivy Envy, which covers the Chicago Cubs. We were Podcast Awards finalists last year (lost to ESPN). When we started, we basically took our backyard BBQ conversations on the Cubs and put them in podcast form. Over the years, things have changed and we're now recognized by the Cubs are legitimate media for certain events. We've been invited into the front office and been able to interview personnel from players to ownership. Of course, the most important thing we've been able to accomplish with Ivy Envy is to form an incredible community of Cubs fans around us. Podcasting has changed our lives through them. A few years ago, I was able to take my hobby of podcasting and turn it into a career. I am in education and work with special education students and helping them transition from high school to post-high school life, primarily though employment. I pitched the idea of a podcast to my employer and they loved this idea of connecting with high school students through a medium they are familiar with. I do The QC STEP Podcast in video and it started out just being shown in 14 high schools in our area. Since it started, I've been asked to present at conferences around the state of Illinois and now schools all around the state (and some in surrounding states) are using this pre-vocational podcast to educate their students. The reason I'd love to WIN the mixer and mic is that my wife (Tawny, co-host of Mommy's Cocktail Hour) have been asked to teach classes on podcasting at a local public library. One of the classes will be geared towards teenagers and the library would like to set up a podcast studio for public use, so teenagers can have podcasts and record them at the library and not have to buy the equipment for themselves. Obviously, I don't need the mixer for myself, but I would love to donate it to help raise up the next generation of podcasters. Thanks for the podcast and I'll have my fingers crossed when I listen to the winner being announced on your next episode! -------------------- Disclosures needed in Forums and Facebook/G+ groups? *** Disclosure: Even though I work for Blubrry and RawVoice Inc., the advice given here is my educated opinion based on 10 years of podcasting and is given freely and without regard to my relationship to any podcasting host or service and would be the same if I didn't have that relationship. -----------------

Fresh back from my trip to the Podcast Movement event, I share two stories of how podcasters are making a difference. We are being seen as the voice of customers; we are being seen as people who can influence others. Corey Fineran of Ivy Envy Helps MLB Change a Rule Corey shares how a contest for free Chicago Cubs tickets seemed unfair. He wrote a blog post and spoke honestly on his podcast. He was nervous when an official from the Cubs reached out to him. Then he found out his podcast and blog had been used to help change the rule for contests run by Major League baseball. Blog Talk Radio Working on Updating Their Audio Quality I have not been of Blog Talk Radio for a long time (their audio and other issues were pointed out in this post) so you can imagine when I was attending Podcast Movement 2014 and a Blog Talk Radio representative approached me. Then he started off his remarks with the phrase, "About your post..." I was amazed when General Manager Andy Toh said he had taken my post, and was using it to help rebuild Blog talk Radio from the inside out. He explained how the new beta version will be able to export audio at 128kbps (CD Quality). Andy know there there will be a lot of improvements needed to get my official seal of approval, but the fact that Blog Talk Radio was even attending the vent, and that they are planning on making changes to their service shows their dedication to the community (where hosting companies like Podbean.com and Podomatic.com where not in attendance). As always my two favorite providers Libsyn.com abnd Blubrry.com had booths and I will be talking about Libsyn.com's redesigned app in a future episode.
Is podcasting really any different than old media? Are we, as podcasters, simply falling into the mold created by media producers before us? Podcasting may be one of the few remaining truly free mediums. There are no rules, no gatekeepers, no censors, nothing telling you what you can and can't do with your show. So why does your podcast sound like all the rest or worse, like radio?;) This is a fun Roundtable in the spirit of the Roundtable's origins, podcasters sitting around on a group call discussing whatever comes to mind. We jump off from this topic of "breaking the mold" as it refers to content production styles and see where it goes. This Round features: +Ray Ortega, +Daniel J. Lewis, +Paul Blais, +Corey Fineran, and +Gary Fawcett. Circle Ray on Google Plus to be notified of future live recordings, to meet other podcasters and share your opinions in the chat! See ya at the next Round! Sign up to appear on a future Podcasters' Roundtable!
We discuss the concept of "competition" as is applies to podcasters podcasting in the same niche. How much do you share with podcasts in your niche? Do you cross promote their shows? Do you have them as guests on your show or even co-host shows together? Is it possible to share audiences? Do you fear losing your audience to another show in your niche? What steps do you take to prevent this from happening? Do you think it's even necessary to compete or can working together actually benefit you? Are there any situations where it might actually be better to be a little competitive or even actively working against another show? Daniel J. Lewis, David Jackson, Corey Fineran and Nick Seuberling join me to discuss these issues and share our experiences with being part of a strong collective of podcasters in the same niche as well as our experience with competition or the competitive feeling.
