Mr. Eric is joined by Jonathan Messinger, host of The Alien Adventures of Finn Caspian, for What If World’s 100th episode special. Things will get out of this world!

See the FULL show notes at: HTTPS://PODCASTFASTTRACK.COM/119  Tell Better Stories? Really? But Carey - I publish a business oriented show. What’s that got to do with me? Everything. All of us tell stories, all day long. Just listen to the conversations going on around you during the course of any normal day. As human beings we LOVE stories. It’s why the movie industry and the publishing industry and the television industries are even in existence. Those are STORY industries. On this episode I want to open the door to an idea - one you likely haven’t thought of before. YOUR podcast can be and should be full of stories too But most of us don’t think of ourselves as storytellers. But we are. We are podcast storytellers. For this episode I decided to chat with a friend of mine, Jonathan Messinger - a podcaster and storyteller for kids. His podcast, “The Alien Adventures of Finn Caspian” is a great example of what can be done to leverage storytelling to its fullest… and not just for kids. Stick around and hear how integrating more story into your podcast could make a huge difference.    OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE [1:26] Who is Jonathan and why did he start a kid’s storytelling podcast?

Some people just can't be honest, and some try to pass off something phony as something real. This episode is about a would-be Shakespeare named William Henry Ireland, and a gang of body snatchers who try to pilfer a president's dead body - gross! Featuring Rhea Pechter, Jonathan Messinger, and more. Written and produced by Mick Sullivan.

Have Your Say: The ADPP 2017 Winter SurveyWhy aren't there more kids audio shows? Why isn't there horror? Sci-fi? Comedy coming voluminously out of - and into - children's ears? We ponder the audio scene for kids and focus on the amazing range of work in bi-naural audio being done by Michel Lafrance on The Owlfield, and how Jonathan Messinger is inspiring kids to create and nurture their love of reading by listening to Finn Caspian.How and where do they market their shows? What is their demographic and how do they focus their shows on those age ranges? How do they make their shows appealing to kids and how much interaction do they get from their young audiences? We discuss how podcasting folks need to educate parents about what wealth of shows are available to them, and hopefully inspire you to crack on and make some audio drama for kids too!And (Cry) this is also sadly Fiona Thraille's last co-presenting episode. We will miss her truly very madly deeply very much and wish her well in her future Audio Drama Producing endeavours, and she has promised to come back and speak about them one day. You're still stuck with Sarah. Sorry 'bout that....Our next episodes are co-presented by Zachary Fortais-Gomme of The Orphans Podcast re our horror episode, and then Rick Coste for part two of our children's audio exploration. Each new show will now have a co-host who is someone amazing from the Audio Drama world. If you'd be interested in doing this and are an active audio drama creative, please let Sarah know!We are excited to present our Winter Survey Questionnaire -https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/Q5JJCKD - launched on our Facebook Forum page. Please do tell us what you like that we're doing, what we need to improve and what you would love to hear episodes about in future. We need as many of you as possible to feed into this so we produce the most useful episo

Jess is washing her walls with salt water to ward off negative energy, and Margy visits her first cat cafe in Brooklyn! They discuss the different styles of podcasts you can produce, and then do an interview with Jonathan Messinger, who produces the Adventures of Finn Caspian.   Different Kinds of Podcasts: The style that is right for you depends on your brand, style and interest! 1. Interview: Great for connecting with potential clients and bringing a variety of expertise to your audience. 2. Solo Show: You have to be really entertaining! Examples are Grammar Girl and School of Podcasting by Dave Jackson. Dave is an introvert, which may be part of why he is such an excellent solo podcaster! 3. Co-Hosted/Roundtable: We loved Guys We F%$#@, co-hosted by two comedians. Choose your co-host wisely. 4. Fiction: More like an audio book. Takes a lot of work to write the story! 5. Journalism: Examples are Serial and Casefile (Margy loves crime shows!) 6. News/Current Events: Not evergreen, but a great way to educate yourself about what’s happening. We love Congressional Dish, hosted by Jen Briney! 7. Fan Podcasts: PLEASE do one for #Rockthepodcast. Jess has been a guest on The Walking Deadcast!   Interview with Jonathan Messinger 1. How is it podcasting with your son? -Really fun -He is a very critical editor! -It’s very helpful because Jonathan can get feedback on the story before recording   2. What voice changer technology do you use? (Jonathan does all the voices in the show) -Plug ins: Waves Sound-Shifter, little Alter boy from Sound Toys, another Waves plug in called Morphoder   3. How did you come up with the idea for the show? -Was originally going to make a children’s book -Had the idea to do it as a podcast so the audience could be more involved   4. What is your writing process? -Procrastinate as long as possible -General outline of story, but episodes incorporate kids’ ideas that they write in   5. Where do you come up with story ideas? -Riff on elements of classic children’s books -Kids write in with ideas i.e. what animals live in space?   6. Do you ever feel weird sitting alone in your basement making alien noises? -Yes   7. Do people without kids listen to your show too? -Mostly for kids, but some jokes for the parents, too! -Geared towards 5-8 years old (Jessica’s 4 year old son loves it)   8. Tell us about leaving your job to podcast full time? -Really optimistic about monetizing -Audience growing steadily, at about 10,000 per episode right now -Not a lot of advertisers that are right for children -Created company called Gen Z Kids -Might pitch it as a kids’ TV show (Jess and Nathan would love to watch it!)   9. Why did your election episode make Jess cry?! -So bogged down, and his creativity felt stifled -Jonathan realized that he was overloading his kids with politics because he was so absorbed by it -It’s important to stay positive and creative, and let kids stay kids regardless of the political climate   Resources Mentioned: School of Podcasting with Dave Jackson Grammar Girl Guys We F*&%$ The Podcast Producers Serial Casefile Jen Briney Congressional Dish The Walking Deadcast Waves Sound-Shifter Little Alter Boy From Sound Toys Waves plug in called Morphoder The Wild Robot The Unexplainable Disappearance of Mars Patel http://www.kidslisten.org/ http://www.finncaspian.com/ https://twitter.com/finncaspian http://app.kidslisten.org/ @interviewconnections
