What is Your Rock Bottom Podcast Downloads Number?Everybody talks about growing their audience. Nobody talks about the number where they'd quietly give up.This month's Question of the Month flips the growth conversation on its head: what's the smallest number of downloads that would keep you making your show — and if you dropped below it, would you quit, or try to fix it? The answers from School of Podcasting listeners are surprisingly close... and my answer might not be a number at all.Also in this episode: a guest-pitch so bad it somehow involves a U-Haul dealership, and a heads-up on a booking-platform trick you'll want to know before you pitch yourself as a guest anywhere.In this episodeThis month's Question of the Month: what's your download floor?Steve Stewart says he'd think about quitting under 25 downloads an episode — but here's why he probably wouldn'tFrank Bravo is already running on "10s" of downloads, and explains why that number doesn't bother himRalph Estep Jr. went from 20 downloads to over 1,000 — but what actually keeps him going isn't the numberDave's answer: which of his 30+ podcasts he let die, which ones he kept, and why it's rarely about the download countThe 6-episode survey test — how to know if it's time to change your show or just accept where it's atScott Johnson (What Was That Like) shares the worst guest pitch he's ever receivedA warning about how some guests are gaming booking platforms like PodMatch — and how to vet who you let on your showLinks mentionedSchool of Podcasting — use code LISTENER for a discount on monthly, quarterly, or yearly plansPodPage — this episode's sponsorSteve Stewart — Podcast Editor Academy / Podcast Editors MastermindFrank Bravo — Your Tech MakeoverRalph Estep Jr. — ralphestepjr.com / new show: Becoming Financially Confident (launching Aug 31)Scott Johnson — What Was That LikeYork - Welcome to Earth StoriesPodMatchPodcastGuest.comPitch a PodcastBuilding a Better DaveMarketing MusicianWeekly Web ToolsNew To CookingThis content may contain affiliate links, meaning I earn a small commission if you purchase through these links at no additional cost to you.

By this point, the series had largely moved past dual-screen and touchscreen gimmicks, settling on putting the menus and map on the bottom screen with the action on top. Add in a dual-protagonist setup and you've got a recipe for a good metroidvania experience. It's not reinventing the wheel, but it's likely got what you're looking for, and there's value in that.

Education · Dave Jackson

In this episode of The Pharmacist's Voice Podcast, I talk with Ohio pharmacist Dan Krinsky about writing, co-authoring, and editing. This is Episode 22 in the Pharmacist Authors Series. Unlike most episodes in the series, our conversation does not focus on one specific book. Dan has written and edited many types of professional content, including continuing education and journal articles, newsletters, patient education materials, business proposals, and pharmacy reference resources. Dan first appeared on the podcast in Episode 133, when we discussed his pharmacy career and pharmacogenomics. This time, writing gets the spotlight. Dan shares practical advice for pharmacists, pharmacy students, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacy professors who want to begin writing or expand their writing experience. Dan's contact information, website, and social media links  Dan Krinsky BS, MS, RPh, FAPhA on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-krinsky-bs-ms-rph-fapha-a8537a/  Dan's email dkrinsky@educare-4u.com  EduCare4U, LLC website https://www.educare-4u.com  PGx101, LLC on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/pgx101  The Pharmacist's Voice Podcast Episode 133 featuring Dan Krinsky About Dan Krinsky B.S., M.S., R.Ph., FAPhA (July 2026) Dan is business owner, educator, entrepreneur and pharmacist who is passionate about advancing patient care and the pharmacy profession.  He owns 2 businesses:  EduCare4U, LLC, (focused on education and patient care) and PGx101, LLC (focused on pharmacogenomics education and practice implementation).  Mr. Krinsky is currently a Professor at the LECOM School of Pharmacy, serving as a lecturer, committee member, and student advisor.  He is a Fellow of the American Pharmacists Association and an active member of the Medication Management Special Interest Group.  Other ventures include working with providers to optimize patients' drug therapy; professional writing; creation of certificate training programs, and new business development.  Mr. Krinsky is Editor-in-Chief and Section Editor for the American Pharmacists Association publication 'Handbook of Nonprescription Drugs:  An Interactive Approach to Self-Care.' Mr. Krinsky's areas of expertise include community pharmacy practice, drug information, patient counseling and education, OTCs, natural products, pharmacogenomics, and developing and implementing medication therapy and disease state management programs.  His primary professional goal is to 'pay it forward', finding ways to make the profession better for the next generation of pharmacists.     Questions and abbreviated answers from our conversation How did writing become part of your professional life? Dan's first major writing project was his master's thesis in pharmacokinetics. Writing did not come naturally at first, but he discovered that he enjoyed gathering information and turning it into something useful for an audience. How can someone decide whether writing is right for them? Start with a topic you care about. Identify the audience, look for gaps in available information, and find a mentor or support network. You do not need to work alone. Should new writers start small or go directly to writing a book? Dan recommends beginning with an article, newsletter, or another smaller project when possible. Smaller projects provide quicker feedback and help writers build skills and confidence. Someone who wants to start with a book should narrow the topic, identify the audience, create an outline, set deadlines, and seek feedback early. What has Dan written? His work includes newsletters, business proposals, patient advisory leaflets, consumer health information, journal and continuing education articles, and two co-authored point-of-care resources: the Natural Therapeutics Pocket Guide and the Drug-Induced Nutrient Depletion Handbook. He has also contributed to multiple editions of APhA's Handbook of Nonprescription Drugs as an author and editor. How are writing, co-authoring, and editing different? An author creates the content. Co-authors share responsibility and need clear roles, flexibility, and communication. An editor improves accuracy, organization, clarity, and usefulness while protecting the author's voice. When should an author involve an editor? As early as possible. An editor can help shape the audience, scope, outline, organization, and flow before the author invests months in the wrong direction. Early feedback is usually easier to handle than dozens of changes at the end. How can someone find a useful topic? Pay attention to recurring patient questions, conversations, media claims, and gaps in health information. The final product does not need to be a book. It could be an article, handout, script, social media post, or educational program. What keeps people from starting? Dan identifies three common barriers: waiting to become "the expert," fear of criticism, and lack of structure. Know what you know, recognize what you do not know, and build a network that can help fill the gaps. How can pharmacists develop a writing habit? Schedule writing time, set specific goals, work backward from deadlines, and use an accountability partner. A detailed outline makes a large project feel more manageable. Where can beginners find legitimate writing opportunities? Consider professional associations, colleges of pharmacy, health systems, community pharmacies, continuing education companies, consumer health websites, and digital health companies. Build a portfolio with writing samples, areas of expertise, testimonials, and other communication experience. How long should someone give writing before deciding it is not for them? There is no single timeline. A newsletter article may take a month; a book may take 12 to 18 months. Set realistic deadlines for each project, start small, and give yourself time to learn. What is Dan's final advice for aspiring authors? Find a mentor, be patient, expect revisions, learn from feedback, and enjoy the process. Writing may not be the right path for everyone, but it can be a meaningful way to educate patients, serve the profession, and create new opportunities.

Looking for things to do this June? JPR's Dave Jackson and Vanessa Finney recommend free concerts, public art, festivals and live music across Southern Oregon and Northern California.

Anyone can create a podcast, but creating interviews that listeners remember takes a different set of skills. The morning show cast and crew sit down with podcasting veteran Dave Jackson to talk about what it really takes to create podcast conversations that feel natural, engaging, and worth sharing. From researching guests and asking stronger follow-up questions to building lasting relationships and using AI without losing the human touch, the discussion is full of practical lessons from years behind the microphone. Here's the thing, the best interviews aren't driven by a list of questions. They're built on curiosity, preparation, and a willingness to truly listen.Episode Highlights:[02:29] Guest Intro: Dave Jackson[04:28] Pre-Interview Preparation[08:54] Researching Guests More Deeply[10:23] Avoiding Generic Interviews[13:45] The Skills Behind Great Conversations[19:53] Common Mid-Interview Mistakes[21:32] How to Disagree with Guests Respectfully[31:07] Pitching Guests the Smart Way[33:46] What Great Interviewers Do Differently[41:03] Post-Interview Follow-Through[44:41] Using AI to Create Better Episodes[48:44] Keep It HumanLinks & Resources:Dave Jackson's links: School of Podcasting: https://www.schoolofpodcasting.com/Podcast consulting: https://www.podcastconsultant.com/Book: Profit from Your Podcasthttps://a.co/d/0bjJUCxhFeature Your Podcast on the Podcasting Morning Show:https://PodcastingMorningShow.com/spotlightThe Podcasting Morning Show:⁠⁠www.podcastingmorningshow.com⁠⁠Ways to Watch or Listen:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/joinus/Meet the PMS Cast and Crew:⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningshow.com/people⁠⁠Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:⁠⁠www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠⁠⁠Book A Free Call With Marc:https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycallApplication To Submit Your Show For Evaluation:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningshow.com/eval⁠⁠Join us every other Monday at 8 AM ET for the Obsession Worthy Podcasts:⁠⁠⁠http://podcastingmorningshow.com/owp/⁠⁠Join us LIVE every weekday morning at 8 am ET (US) on ⁠Clubhouse⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningshow.com/clubhouse⁠⁠Powered by⁠⁠⁠ ⁠iRonickMedia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠ContentCreatorsAccountant.com⁠⁠Send in your mailbag questions:⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/contact/⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠marc@ironickmedia.com⁠Want to be a guest on The Podcasting Morning Show?

In this episode of the School of Podcasting, Dave Jackson shows you how to stop being “just another podcast” and start becoming someone's favorite show (I love that line from Jay Acunzo).You'll learn how to:Clarify what your podcast is actually about in one sentenceChoose (or tweak) your name and description so they signal your unique angleDeliver on the promise of your premise so listeners trust youUse your own stories, quirks, and background as an unfair advantage no AI can copyWhether you're launching a new show or trying to revive an existing one, this episode will help you stand out in a crowded market.The Four C's of Building a Favorite Show1. You Need a Clear “What Is It?” Line (Clarity)If you can't describe your show in one sentence, your listeners definitely can't.Think of it like a movie logline:“A shark terrorizes a beach town.” → Jaws“A lawyer can't lie for 24 hours.” → Liar LiarIf your answer sounds like “me and my buddy talking about stuff and stuff,” you have a clarity problem.2. Your Name & Description Should Create ContrastIf your show is called something generic like “Thinking Outside the Box,” you're competing with dozens of identical names.Simple test: say your show's name to someone and ask, “What do you think it's about?”If their answer doesn't match your actual content, your name isn't doing its job.Your description should:Say who the show is forSay how it's differentPromise what they get every episode - and then give it to themUse your listeners' own words from reviews/emails to sharpen your description.3. Deliver on the Promise of Your Premise (Consistency)Your title, artwork, and description are a promise. Your content has to deliver.Click‑baity titles and vague descriptions might get a first click, but if the episode doesn't do what it says, you won't get a second one.Examples:Joe Rogan: long-form, open-ended conversations where people actually talk through ideas.Podnews and Podnews Weekly Review: global podcast news with strong host chemistry and a predictable format.4. Your Stories and Style Are Your Uncopyable Advantage (Character)AI can write scripts and headlines—but it doesn't have your bike ride, your great nephew, or your specific regrets and realizations.You have stories, you just need to write them down.5. Use “Homework for Life” to Capture StoriesFrom Matthew Dicks' Storyworthy: at the end of each day, ask:“What happened today that might be a story?”Write down one sentence—just enough to remind you later.Use any note tool (NoteJoy, Apple Notes, Google Keep, voice-to-text, etc.).Over time you build a story library you can draw from to explain concepts and stand out from AI‑generated, story‑less shows.Action Steps From This EpisodeBy the end of this episode, challenge yourself to:Write your one-sentence “What is it?” line.If you can't say it clearly in one breath, cut it down.Ask 2–3 non-podcaster friends:Show them your title, cover art, and description.Ask, “What do you think this show is about?”If their answer doesn't match your intention, revise your name/description.Search your show's name in Google and major podcast apps.Is the name crowded? Already used?Is there a dormant show with the name you want? Consider reaching out and asking to take over/buy the feed.List 5 story moments from the last 30 days.Use “homework for life” style notes.Circle 1–2 you can use in upcoming episodes to explain a lesson.Rewrite your podcast description to:Say who the show is forSay how it's differentPromise what they'll consistently get each time they listenResources MentionedStoryworthy by Matthew Dicks – Book on storytelling and “homework for life.”Notejoy captiring toolResearch LinksPodcasting Morning ShowSave the Cat!: The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever NeedHot Ones' Guests Impressed by Sean Evans' Questions | Vol. 6 - YouTubePacino Arrests Everybody (Samuel L.

Are you eager to promote your podcast but worried about breaking the rules in online groups? In this episode of "Your Podcast Consultant," I share practical advice on how to approach forums, Facebook groups, and Reddit communities the right way. Drawing from my own stories and hard-earned lessons, I explain why simple self-promotion often leads to bans—and what you can do instead to build genuine connections and grow your audience. Whether you're just starting out or looking to expand your reach, this episode is packed with small lessons that deliver big value for every podcaster.Takeaways:When promoting our podcast, we often make rookie mistakes that come back to bite us later.Self promotion in forums usually gets you banned, like, seriously, just don't do it.Always check the forum rules before posting about your podcast, or you'll regret it.Making friends before promoting your podcast can actually help you gain listeners and avoid bans.Consider reaching out to moderators first; they might even want to join your podcast.If you need help growing your podcast, there are plenty of resources available for you.Links referenced in this episode:schoolofpodcastingpodmatchpodcastguestsredditfacebookguestexchangeMentioned in this episode:Start Podcasting in Six Week - Starts June 3rdHave you been struggling trying to start a podcast?

In this episode hosts Larry and Bill focus on listener feedback regarding podcast formats, encryption, and the role of open-source software in accessibility. - Listeners David and Stephan express a preference for maintaining the podcast in MP3 format and as an audio-only medium, noting that video is often unnecessary and less convenient for mobile listening. - David also recommends Parabolic, an open-source tool for downloading web video or audio from sites like YouTube. - Following a previous episode, a listener named Rob asks about the feasibility of double encryption, or encrypting an already encrypted file. - Bill shares a personal update regarding his recent hearing loss and his journey to find hearing aids compatible with Linux.

How is this still happening?You ever have one of those moments where you see something so ridiculous you can't help but roll your eyes? That's basically the theme of this episode. I'm talking about the world of podcasting and, honestly, it's kind of wild. It's 2026, and people are still posting “New episode out! (and that's it)” on social media like that's some kind of marketing strategy. Seriously?Yes, It's Better Than Nothing...In this episode, I talk about why podcasters need to stop doing the bare minimum when promoting their shows. If you're going to post on social media, at least make it interesting. Lead with a question. Share a bold statement. Give people a reason to stop scrolling and pay attention. Don't just announce your existence, do something to spark curiosity.Use a HookI also dig into the importance of using hooks when sharing episodes. In today's world of endless content, you need something that grabs attention immediately. Whether it's a thought-provoking question, a surprising opinion, or a compelling claim, the goal is to invite people into a conversation, not just tell them your episode exists.There is No Excuse for "New Episode Out"And honestly, with all the AI tools available now, there's really no excuse for lazy promotional posts anymore. AI can help you come up with stronger captions, better hooks, and more engaging content in seconds. If your entire strategy is still “new episode out,” it might be time to rethink things.Throughout the episode, I share practical tips on how to create social posts that actually connect with your audience and make people want to listen. I also invite listeners to join the School of Podcasting community, where we do listener parties, personal coaching, and help podcasters grow their shows in smarter ways.If you're serious about podcasting and want your marketing to stand out, this episode is your reminder to stop being basic and start being intentional. Podcast promotion doesn't have to be boring — and honestly, it shouldn't be.Takeaways:In this episode, we discuss how just saying 'new episode out' is the laziest way to promote your podcast, so let's spice it up!Every podcaster should lead with a hook that actually grabs attention, otherwise, what's the point of even posting?We emphasize the importance of creating engaging social media posts instead of the bland standard phrases that nobody cares about.It's shocking to see how many people still use outdated promotional tactics like 'find me wherever you find your podcasts' – just stop it already!If you want your episode to stand out, it needs a compelling claim or question that makes people want to listen and engage.Utilizing AI tools can help you generate better social media content than the typical 'new episode out' post, so why not give it a shot?Mentioned in this episode:Start Podcasting in Six Week - Starts June 3rdHave you been struggling trying to start a podcast?

Podcast promotion breaks down to this:Identify who your audience isGo to where they are (online and offline)Make friends with themTell them about your showDon't Overthink itSo a person on Reddit mentioned they wanted to grow their podcast about horror movies.Let's see.... where could I find a bunch of people who like horror movies... if only there was a place where people who like horror MOVIES go. If only......Go to Where They AreSo go to the movie cineplex, if you want to go all out have a t-shirt made for you with your logo and URL on the shirt (see Stickermule), and have some business cards made with your logo and website address, and a QR code (I use switchy for that. It not only makes QR code and a whole lot more but I can track how many times that QR code was used).Then as people are entering the building ask them, "Are you hear to see (scary movie title)?" and if they say "Yes," then give them a card and say "I do a podcast for people just like you."ExpectationsYes, some will throw the card away. Some will put it in their pocket. Other will be bored sitting through endless advertisements waiting for the movies to start and will point their phone at the QR code (which takes them to my follow page).Keep in mind you build you audience one person at a time.And often that one person hangs out with other people who also like what they like, and word of mouth starts to grow your show. Now, word of mouth is effective. We know it is. It ranks high in all the ways to promote your podcast, but we also know it is slow. If you are looking for a giant switch to give you 30,000 downloads an episode, that just doesn't happen.The More You Do It The better You Get At itI know for me, selling my book, Profit From Your Podcast, in person is always a little uncomfortable, but the more I did it, the better I got at it and the more books I soldDo You Need Help Growing Your Podcast?If you need help growing your show, come visit me at schoolofpodcasting.com.
