A very short story of some friends who are attending a concert under a big tent that promises some big radio stars of the past... story is told by a character that sounds like "Broadway" in the "Damon Runyon Theatre" radio program...the actor was John Brown.

I give honor to Lisa for her faithful service to others, especially family. I try to understand why those who hated the unvaccinated have no remorse. How the ram in the thicket shows us Jesus, sharing the gospel far and wide and why even the truth we learn from conservative media may not be so healthy for our souls.

CONTENT ISN'T KING It is often said that content is King. That isn't necessarily true. Content by itself won't gain you an audience. Content isn't King. Great content is King. Anybody can copy information. Your content needs to be infused with story and personality to really connect with listeners. To help you create more powerful interviews, grab my list of "17 of the most Powerful Podcast Interview Questions Ever". It is a free download you can get at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/interview. BE UNIQUE It really hit me one time when I was interviewing a musician on the air. I won't mention his name, because he called me out right there in the middle of the interview. Before our conversation, I went online and read his bio. I went through the news release they sent me about the new album and the tour. Once the interview began, I felt pretty good. We were rolling along with the standard questions and he was giving the standard answers. In what city will the tour start? When does the album come out.? What can we expect when you roll through here? Then I asked him a question about a detail in his bio. I though it was something unique. But he said, "Well, I see somebody read my bio." That's when I realized I couldn't just ask typical questions and get typical answers. To create great interviews, I needed to get my guests to tell great stories. Everything I was doing to this point was simply a derivative of someone else. I was a cliché, a poor knock off. Why would anyone listen to me when they could get the same thing by listening a variety of other interviews with the same guest? From there, I took my original content and made it great. CONTENT WITH STORIES Later in my career I was interviewing Preston Brust of the country band LOCASH. He and Chris Lucas had been working hard for years writing songs for themselves and others while also recording and touring. LOCASH had a few different record deals, but had never had that big hit they needed to break through. Other artists were recording songs the two had written, but none of those had hit either. In 2011, country superstar Keith Urban not only decided to record a song written by Preston and Chris, but he was going to release it as a single. When I was talking with Preston, I asked him what it felt like when he got the call that Keith Urban was releasing their song. Here is what he said. "Things weren't going so good. I get this phone call. I'm in the backseat of my friends car and I get this phone call and it sounded like something was wrong. And he says, 'I'm sitting next to Keith Urban and he just told me that 'You Gonna Fly' is going to be his next single, and he's releasing it next week.' And I literally had them stop the car and I got out of the car and I just let out this yell. It just felt like I'm back." They were back. That song went to number one on the country charts. Preston and Chris then wrote a hit for Tim McGraw and eventually a top 5 hit for themselves. I guarantee that question about how it felt to get that call hasn't been asked many times if ever of Preston. We created such a relationship over the years that he still texts me. They just finished their latest song called "Hometown Home" and he sent me the early version. That kind of relationship doesn't happen with typical questions and standard answers. Your audience also isn't attracted to typical interviews. Be different. BE YOURSELF Over the years, my style and content developed. I became myself. That is when my show became #1. My content was original and fresh. Nobody else was doing it. If your content isn't great, nothing else matters. The production of your podcast could be the best available. You could have all the bells and whistles available in your studio, including the best mic. The marketing of your podcast could incredibly creative and unique. However, if the content is average, no one will care. Don't simply go through the motions creating your content. Find a unique angle. Your take on the subject should be interesting. Make your content stand out using stories, creativity, and personal revelation. Content won't attract an audience unless it is great content. When your content is great, you become king. Make it happen. There are four key areas of focus when creating great content and tightening up your show.  1. BE ORIGINAL Old-timey radio would say, "Hello Everybody in Radioland!" You're not an announcer talking to a group. Be a person talking to another person. To be engaging, you need to be human. You need to be yourself. As you record your podcast, use your natural voice and your own words. Individuals who are new to broadcasting tend to want to sound like their broadcasting idols. They try to imitate those they have heard on the radio with their voice and clichés. Unfortunately, new broadcasters tend to sound as if they are using scripted drivel done in some character voice that is forced and unnatural. You don't need to sound like Wolfman Jack, Howard Cosell, Don LaFontaine or Howard Stern. In fact, you shouldn't sound like those guys. The big personalities are who they are. You should be who you are. If you are naturally over-the-top, then be over-the-top. If you are not, don't fake it. You'll sound like an amateur and people can tell. Be natural. Talk with a little energy, but always deliver it as you naturally speak. The days of "the voice for radio" are gone. You don't need a big voice to be on the radio. And you surely don't need a big voice to create a podcast. Your voice becomes unique by what you say, not how you sound saying it. Be yourself. Use your own voice instead of trying to impersonate someone else. Use your natural voice and your own words. 2. REPEATING YOURSELF That's right, of course, like I said, obviously. If you find yourself saying "obviously" or "of course", you are making two mistakes. The first error is repeating yourself. If you are saying "obviously" because you feel everyone already knows the information, you are wasting your breath. If it is obvious, there is no need to say it. To frame it in a way to indicate it is something everyone knows, I might simply make a statement. I may say, "Because the sun comes up in the East, I prefer my bedroom windows be on the West side of the house." Everyone listening to me knows the sun comes up in the East. I simply include the statement. If I use a phrase like, "Of course", it appears I didn't want it to look like I was trying to teach you about the sunrise. I didn't want you to think I just learned that. "Of course" plays it off, but it also doesn't need to be there. If it is "of course", there is no need to say it in the first place. CONFIDENCE The second error is lack of confidence, so we add filler words. You may want to sound knowledgeable to those who know the information. Yet, you know there is a segment of the audience that does not know the details. To inform those unaware, you add the "of course". In this case, you're just wasting words. I may say, "The band will be at the arena Saturday night, of course." Some may be aware of this performance. Yet, there may be people in the audience who haven't heard the news. It makes sense to add the information, but you don't need the "of course". The idea is to sound knowledgeable and credible to those that already know, while providing the information to those unaware. You simply need to restructure you sentence and eliminate the cliché. Use a sentence like, "When the band is at the arena Saturday night, parking will be at a premium." This sentence provides new information to both segments of the audience. I include the "arena Saturday night" portion for the new listeners while giving those already aware of the concert new parking information. Both receive a benefit without the filler words. When you include "that's right" or "like I said", you are repeating yourself. Your listener heard you the first time. Most people use these cliches to fill time while they think of the next thing to say. Avoid going in circles. Your listener will quickly become uninterested. Know where you're going and keep moving forward. 3. ELIMINATE CLICHES I hear so many cliches in podcasts today. They are present in business in general. A cliché is a phrase or opinion that is overused and betrays a lack of original thought. It is a very predictable or unoriginal thing or person. We had a leader of our division who would use one particular cliché on every conference call we had. Every month, we would have a conference call to keep each station in sync. It would be run by our division leader. The call would then feature 4 or 5 other speakers covering various topics. The call would last about 30 minutes. After every speaker would finish their report, our division leader would say, "Really good stuff." "That was really good stuff, Ray." "Thanks, Sarah. Really good stuff." When he would talk about new resources that were available to us, he would wrap it up with "really good stuff". When he talked about new music coming out, he would call it "really good stuff". What started out as a compliment became a hollow nod that carried no weight. It was overused and lacked original thought. It was predictable. He got so predictable, as the speaker would wrap up, we would say to ourselves, “that was really good stuff” right before our leader would chime in with the same line. It kept us entertained on the call, but added nothing to the conversation. What cliches are you using? They are everywhere. Many times you don't realize it is a cliché until you start listening to your own show, or a coach points it out. The one that sounds most out of place to me on a podcast is, "To be honest with you". When somebody says "to be honest with you", I immediately think, "were you lying to me before?" What message are you trying to convey when you say, "to be honest with you"? I assume you are simply trying to add emphasis to what you are saying. In reality, the cliché has lost its power. It means nothing. It's a cliché. There are many others. We are thinking out of the box. We are pushing the envelope. We are taking it to the next level. It's Erik here to remind you something or another. You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying. Listen to an older episode or two of your show. Really listen to the shows like a listener. Find the cliches and eliminate them. Be original. 4. AVOID ROUGH TRANSITIONS And now it's time for … This phrase seems harmless. It looks like a logical transition from one segment to another during your podcast. Unfortunately, this phrase gives your listener permission to leave the show. When you use "and now it's time for..." or some similar phrase, it tells the listener that one segment is over and we are moving on to something else. It also signals a natural break in the show and the perfect time to exit. The transition is a lot like a commercial break in a television show. It is time to grab the remote to see what else is available. This is why TV shows started using the cliff hangers to keep you around. Famous American showman P. T. Barnum noticed that people were lingering too long at his exhibits. If he could get them through the exhibit faster, he could get more people through in a day and make more money. Barnum posted signs around the exhibit indicating "This Way to the Egress". Henry would ask Barbara, "Have you ever seen an egress? No? Let's check it out." Unaware that "Egress" simply meant "Exit", people followed the signs to what they assumed was a fascinating exhibit only to end up outside. Take down your "egress" sign. If you truly want to hold your listener from one segment to the next, don't send up the signal. Simply move to the next segment. THE TRANSITION On a coaching call the other day, I pointed out to the host that he was using "I want to keep this moving" quite often in his show. When he says "I want to keep this moving", I know we are switching to a new topic. I can punch out here if I'd like. Instead, just move on. Imagine you are at a cocktail party. You are discussing the baseball game that you saw over the weekend. After the baseball topic runs its course, do you say, "Now it's time to talk about my new car"? I doubt it. You probably just roll right into, "Hey, I bought a new car last week." It is a natural transition. Your friend doesn't think, "Hmm, that was a pretty rough transition." They have moved on right along with you. As you wrap up one segment, move right to the next. You might end the first segment with, "If you take those steps, things should be back to normal." Roll into the next with, "Jackie has a question about teamwork," and play the call. The next segment just starts. You've hooked them on the next segment without opening the door to leave. Don't flash the exit sign. Eliminate "and now it's time for" to hold your listener for the entire podcast. TIGHTER CONTENT Focus on these four areas to create great content. Avoid repeating yourself. Eliminate the cliches. Create smooth transitions in your content. Above all else, be original. When you be yourself and ask great questions, it will be difficult to copy you. The content will be original. And, people will love you for it.

On this week's Richard Crouse Show we meet Matt Cahill. He has a private practice and is a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and is a writer whose debut novel, “The Society of Experience,” was picked as a must-read by Harper's Bazaar magazine. His short stories have been widely published and his essay “On Madness Within Imagination” was selected for Best Canadian Essays 2017. His new book, “Radioland,” is a mesmerizing literary thriller, where music, fame and magic wind together in an eerie mystery. Then, Robert Harris, bestselling author of “Fatherland,” “The Ghostwriter,” “Munich” and “Conclave.” His new novel, “Act of Oblivion,” is an historical novel that brilliantly imagines one of the greatest manhunts in history: the search for two Englishmen involved in the killing of King Charles I and the relentless foe on their trail. Then, word legend gets kicked around a lot, but in this case it really fits. Stan Lee made an indelible mark on popular culture by co-creating some of the most popular characters in comic books. Without him there'd be no superheroes like Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk, Black Panther and the list goes on and on. He is a legend and I got the chance to speak with him on the phone a couple of years before he passed away in 2018. He was in fine form, it's a really fun interview and I wanted to share it with you again.

After a 9 week summer hiatus, Ric is back in Radioland with a new episode and regular production schedule. In this episode, Ric not only explains the break but takes this time to take on the phenomenon of the rise of various hate groups in America. It hit home recently when the Proud Boys showed up to protest their perceived menace that was a small group of drag queens. As absurd as that sounds, their perceptions of whatever social dangers they think they see are nothing more than a display of their own fear.   NEXT WEEK: Zuckerberg has issues.

For over seven years, Ric has sat down and delivered 400 episodes of From Radioland. In this, the 400th episode, Ric takes a look back at how this show has evolved over those years. He also spends a bit of time explaining the importance of a legitimate human connection that can be made through a format such as this or through live radio. Although the internet has been the great leveler of playing fields, the one true notion that remains the same and is just as important than ever is the connection that can be made when one simply listens to another.

There is something to be said for a good old fashioned history lesson and that is exactly what is on tap for this episode. Taken from a previously aired broadcast, this conversation celebrates the anniversary of the book It Came From Memphis by Robert Gordon. During this talk, there are a couple of great stories from the book as well as Robert's thoughts about who would direct this story if it were ever to be made into a movie. Also in this episode, you'll hear some music that accompanies the book as it is likely the only book that has a varied soundtrack. Plus, Ric tells you about who will be visiting Radioland in the coming weeks. NEXT WEEK: Rew Starr

Zwei Dinge scheinen momentan unendlich: das Universum und die Pandemie. Über beides lässt sich hervorragend philosophieren, meinen unsere drei Weisen aus dem Radioland. Und wieso schneidet Essen mal wieder so schlecht im Vergleich zu anderen Städten ab? Aber auch über fliegende Ballone in Altenessen und Trecker auf der Margarethenhöhe lässt sich gut sprechen, vor allem LAUT! UND NEUZUGANG LARISSA IST VERDAMMT LAUT, meint sie selbst.

There is one way to stand out from the crowd in your podcast niche. Most people think the solution to creating unique content is creative or better content. That isn't the case. Your content can be copied. You become unique by the way you present the content. CONTENT IS KING? You've heard it often. Content is king. Well, content isn't king. Content by itself won't gain you an audience. Content isn't king. Great content is king. Unique content is king. Your presentation makes that king one-of-a-kind. I learned this early on in my radio career when my program director told me to stop copying everyone else. On-air radio talent, a.k.a. DJs of disc jockeys, get critiqued on a regular basis by their program directors in meetings called aircheck sessions. In these one-on-one meetings, you listen to your show and your PD gives you suggestions to make it better. Nobody likes to be critiqued. However, if you understand that your best interest is what it is all about, your show gets better. We had just launched a new station playing alternative music of the early 90s. New Order, R.E.M., Depeche Mode, Natalie Merchant and 10,000 Maniacs, and so many others. It was a great time. I had moved across the hall from our active rock station. At that station we were playing Metallica, Pearl Jam, AC/DC, Motley Crue and the rock tunes of the time. Even though I had made the move to the alternative station, my style and delivery was still influenced by the DJs on the rock station. I was using the lingo, cadence and content that I had been using over there. It was natural to me, but didn't fit the style of the station. As we were listening to my show in that aircheck session, my program director pointed it out. She said, "That line is really a rock thing. Why don't you leave it to them and do something unique? Be yourself." That is when I took the first step in really developing my own style. Everything I was doing to this point was simply a derivative of someone else. I was a cliché, a poor knock off. Why would anyone listen to me when they could get the real thing by listening to the original? From there, I took my content and made it original. It was on the road to becoming great. Over the years, my style and content developed. I became myself. That is when my show finally became #1. My content was original and fresh. Nobody else could copy it, because it was my authentic self. GREAT CONTENT Before you can get to your unique self and unique content, you need to have great content. People need to care first. If your content isn't great, nothing else matters. The production of your podcast could be the best available. You could have all the bells and whistles available in your studio. The marketing of your podcast could incredibly creative and unique. However, if the content isn't great, no one will care. Once you have your great content, don't simply go through the motions creating your podcast. Find a unique angle. Your take on the subject should be interesting, personal and full of stories. Make your content stand out using creativity and personal revelation. It is just like this example. I could tell you to create unique content by being yourself. But 20 other podcast coaches could do that as well. How many can tell you they have learned this example through 30 years of radio experience and by actually learning it first hand while transitioning from one radio station to another? I have had the #1 radio show in the market for 20 years. In fact, more people listen to my show than any other show on the radio in the state. And I'm not even on in the mornings during the time when most people listen to the radio. I'm on a 10-year run. Be you and win. Content won't attract an audience unless it is great content. When your content is great, you become king. But you won't remain king unless that great content is unique content. Make it happen by being yourself. There are five key areas of focus when creating great and unique content. 1. REPEATING YOURSELF That's right, of course, like I said, obviously. If you find yourself saying "obviously" or "of course", you are making one of two errors. The first error is repeating yourself. If you are saying "obviously" because you feel everyone already knows the information, you are wasting your breath. There is no need to say it. Everybody knows it. I may say, "The sun comes up in the East, of course." Everyone listening to me knows the sun comes up in the East. There was no reason for me to point out the origin of the morning sun. "Of course" gets thrown in, so it didn't look like I was trying to teach you about the sunrise. I didn't want you to think I just learned that. "Of course" plays it off. Instead, just say, "Because the sun comes up in the East, ..." or something similar. Acknowledge it without the qualifier. The second error is lack of confidence. You may want to sound knowledgeable to those who know the information. Yet, you know there is a segment of the audience that does not know the details. In this case, you're just wasting words. I may say, "The band will be at the arena Saturday night, of course." Some may be aware of this performance. Yet, there may be listeners in the audience who haven't heard the news. It makes sense to add the information. The idea is to sound knowledgeable and credible to those that already know, while providing the information to those unaware. You simply need to restructure you sentence and eliminate the cliché. "When the band is at the arena Saturday night, parking will be at a premium." This sentence provides new information to both segments. I include the "arena Saturday night" portion for the new listeners while giving those already aware of the concert new parking information. Both receive a benefit. When you include "that's right" or "like I said", you are repeating yourself. Your listener heard you the first time. Most people use these cliches to fill time while they think of the next thing to say. Avoid going in circles. Your listener will quickly become uninterested. Your show loses momentum. Know where you're going and keep moving forward. 2. ELIMINATE CLICHES I hear so many cliches in podcasts today. Actually, they are all over business in general. The definition of a cliché is "a phrase or opinion that is overused and betrays a lack of original thought. It is a very predictable or unoriginal thing or person." We had a leader of our radio division who would use one particular cliché on every conference call we had. Every month, we would have a conference call to keep each station in sync. It would be run by our division leader. The call would then feature 4 or 5 other speakers covering various topics. The call would last about 30 minutes. After every speaker would finish their report, our division leader would say, "Really good stuff." When he would talk about new resources that were available to us, he would wrap it up with "really good stuff". When he talked about new music coming out, he would call it "really good stuff". What started out as a compliment became a hollow nod that carried no weight. It was overused and lacked original thought. It was predictable. He got so predictable, as the speaker would wrap up, we would say to ourselves, "that was really good stuff" right before our leader would chime in with the same line. It kept us entertained on the call, but added nothing to the conversation. What cliches are you using? There are so many. Many times you don't realize it is a cliché until you start listening to your own show, or a coach points it out. This is a big reason you should be listening to your show in real time like a real listener. Pick a show that is a few weeks old and review it. The one cliché that sounds most out of place to me on a podcast is, "To be honest with you". When somebody says "to be honest with you", I immediately think, "were you lying to me before?" What message are you trying to convey when you say, "to be honest with you"? I assume you are simply trying to add emphasis to what you are saying. In reality, the cliché has lost its power. It means nothing. Cliché. There are many others. We are thinking out of the box. We are pushing the envelope. We are taking it to the next level. Erik here to remind you something or another. You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying. Tons of clichés. Take an older episode of your show and really listen to it. Find the clichés and eliminate them. Be original and create unique content. 3. AVOID ROUGH TRANSITIONS And now it's time for … This phrase seems harmless. It looks like a logical transition from one segment to another during your podcast. Unfortunately, this phrase gives your listener permission to leave the show. When you use "and now it's time for..." or some similar phrase, it tells the listener that one segment is over and we are moving on to something else. This phrase also signals a natural break in the show and the perfect time to exit. The transition is a lot like a commercial break in a television show. It is time to grab the remote to see what else is available. Famous American showman P. T. Barnum noticed that people were lingering too long at his exhibits. If he could get them through the exhibit faster, he could get more paying customers through in a day. Barnum posted signs around the exhibit indicating "This Way to the Egress". Unaware that "Egress" simply meant "Exit", people followed the signs to what they assumed was a fascinating exhibit only to end up outside. He got people to leave sooner. Take down the "egress" sign. If you truly want to hold your listener from one segment to the next, don't send up the signal. Simply move to the next segment. The phrase "now it's time for ..." is also unnatural. Imagine you are at a cocktail party. You are discussing the baseball game that you saw over the weekend. After that topic runs its course, do you say, "Now it's time to talk about my new car"? I doubt it. You probably just roll right into, "Hey, I bought a new car last week." It is a natural transition. Your friend doesn't think, "Hmm, that was a pretty rough transition." They have moved on right along with you. As you wrap up one segment, move right to the next. You might end the first segment with, "If you take those steps, things should be back to normal." Roll into the next with, "Jackie has a question about teamwork," and play the call. The next segment just starts. You've hooked them on the next segment without opening the door to leave. Don't flash the exit sign. Eliminate "and now it's time for" to hold your listener for the entire podcast. 4. BE ORIGINAL WITH UNIQUE CONTENT Hello Everybody in Radioland! Are we on 1930s radio? To be engaging and unique, you need to be human. You need to be yourself. As you record your podcast, use your natural voice and your own words. Individuals who are new to broadcasting tend to want to sound like their broadcasting idols. They try to imitate those they have heard on the radio with their voice and clichés. Unfortunately, new broadcasters tend to sound as if they are using scripted drivel done in some character voice that is forced and unnatural. You don’t need to sound like Gary Vaynerchuk, Wolfman Jack, Howard Cosell, Don LaFontaine or Howard Stern. In fact, you shouldn’t sound like those guys. They are who they are. You should be who you are. If you are naturally over-the-top, then be over-the-top. If you are not, don’t fake it. You’ll sound like an amateur and a fake. Be natural. Talk with a little energy, but always deliver it as you naturally speak. The days of "the voice for radio" are gone. You don’t need a big voice to be on the radio. You surely don’t need a big voice to create a podcast. Your voice becomes unique by what you say, not how you sound saying it. Be yourself. Use your own voice instead of trying to impersonate someone else. Use your natural voice and your own words. 5. USE STORIES Finally, use stories to create unique content. Nobody can copy your experiences and stories. Through your stories, your listeners get to know you, like you and trust you. Through the details you include in your stories all your listeners to get to know what you value and believe. They understand your personality. Make your stories rich with detail. Create images in the theater of the mind of your listeners. Focus on these five areas to create great content. Avoid repeating yourself. Eliminate the cliches. Create smooth transitions in your content. Above all else, be original and tell great stories. These five areas will help you create unique on every episode. Do you need help with your podcast?

In the first round of Uruguay’s presidential election on Oct. 27, voters changed the political makeup of parliament and nearly passed a referendum that would have allowed the government to get tougher on crime, as homicides and thefts continue to rise.

Born in Brooklyn many moons ago, Mitchel began studying classical piano at age 7. Shortly after graduating from Manhattan School of Music, Mitch began touring and recording with Gerry Mulligan, playing in both his big band and quartet. Work with Stan Getz followed. In 1980 his solo career began with a piano performance at the Newport Jazz Festival. This recording became Mitch’s first album, “Live at Newport”. Mitch spent the early 80′s as one of the most sought after studio musicians in New York, working with a multitude of gifted artists (see discography) not the least of whom was guitarist John McLaughlin.Mitch joined McLaughlin’s Mahavishnu Orchestra and spent a year and a half on the road with McLaughlin, recording and contributing to two of the band’s benchmark recordings – the seminal “Mahavishnu” and “Adventures in Radioland”. He then joined legendary ex-Weather Report saxophonist Wayne Shorter, touring, recording and contributing to Shorter’s “Phantom Navigator”.Mitchel is currently performing with CAB, featuring legendary fusion bassist Bunny Brunel.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchel_Forman

4 Steps To Create Great Content (HINT: Enough With The Cliches) – Episode 151   Content Isn't King ...   You've heard it often. Content is King.   That isn't necessarily true. Content by itself won't gain you an audience. Content isn't King. Great content is King.   I learned this early on in my radio career when my program director told me to stop being like everyone else.   On-air radio talent, a.k.a. DJs of disc jockeys, get critiqued on a regular basis by their program directors in meetings called aircheck sessions. In these one-on-one meetings, you listen to your show and your PD gives you suggestions to make it better.   Nobody likes to be critiqued. However, if you take the suggestions knowing that your best interest is what it is all about, your show gets better.   We had just launched a new station playing alternative music of the early 90s. New Order, R.E.M., Depeche Mode, Natalie Merchant and 10,000 Maniacs, and so many others. It was a great time.   I had moved across the hall from our active rock station. At that station we were playing Metallica, Pearl Jam, AC/DC, Motley Crue and the rock tunes of the time.   Even though I had made the move to the alternative station, my style and delivery was still influenced by the rock station. I was using the lingo, cadence and content that I had been using. It was natural to me, but didn't fit the style of the station.   As we were listening to my show in that aircheck session, my program director pointed it out. She said, “That line is really a rock thing. Why don't you leave it to them and do something unique? Be yourself.” That is when I took the first step in really developing my own style.   Everything I was doing to this point was simply a derivative of someone else. I was a cliché, a poor knock off.   Why would anyone listen to me when they could get the real thing by listening to the original?   From there, I took my original content and made it great.   Over the years, my style and content developed. I became myself. That is when my show became #1. My content was original and fresh. Nobody else was doing it.   If your content isn't great, nothing else matters. The production of your podcast could be the best available. You could have all the bells and whistles available in your studio. The marketing of your podcast could incredibly creative and unique. However, if the content is great, no one will care.   Don't simply go through the motions creating your content. Find a unique angle. Your take on the subject should be interesting. Make your content stand out using stories, creativity, and personal revelation.   Content won't attract an audience unless it is great content. When your content is great, you become king. Make it happen.   There are four key areas of focus when creating great content.   1. REPEATING YOURSELF   That's right, of course, like I said, obviously.   If you find yourself saying "obviously" or "of course", you are making one of two errors.   The first error is repeating yourself. If you are saying "obviously" because you feel everyone already knows the information, you are wasting your breath. There is no need to say it.   I may say, "The sun comes up in the East, of course." Everyone listening to me knows the sun comes up in the East. There was no reason for me to point out the origin of the morning sun.   "Of course" gets thrown in, so it didn't look like I was trying to teach you about the sunrise. I didn't want you to think I just learned that. "Of course" plays it off.   The second error is lack of confidence. You may want to sound knowledgeable to those who know the information. Yet, you know there is a segment of the audience that does not know the details. In this case, you're just wasting words.   I may say, "The band will be at the arena Saturday night, of course." Some may be aware of this performance. Yet, there may be members of the audience who haven't heard the news. It makes sense to add the information.   The idea is to sound knowledgeable and credible to those that already know, while providing the information to those unaware. You simply need to restructure you sentence and eliminate the cliché.   "When the band is at the arena Saturday night, parking will be at a premium." This sentence provides new information to both segments. I include the "arena Saturday night" portion for the new listeners while giving those already aware of the concert new parking information. Both receive a benefit.   When you include "that's right" or "like I said", you are repeating yourself. Your listener heard you the first time. Most people use these cliches to fill time while they think of the next thing to say. Avoid going in circles. Your listener will quickly become uninterested. Know where you're going and keep moving forward.   2. ELIMINATE CLICHES   I hear so many cliches in podcasts today. Really in business in general.   A cliché is a phrase or opinion that is overused and betrays a lack of original thought. It is a very predictable or unoriginal thing or person.   We had a leader of our division who would use one particular cliché on every conference call we had.   Every month, we would have a conference call to keep each station in sync. It would be run by our division leader. The call would then feature 4 or 5 other speakers covering various topics. The call would last about 30 minutes.   After every speaker would finish their report, our division leader would say, "Really good stuff." When he would talk about new resources that were available to us, he would wrap it up with "really good stuff". When he talked about new music coming out, he would call it "really good stuff".   What started out as a compliment became a hollow nod that carried no weight. It was overused and lacked original thought. It was predictable.   He got so predictable, as the speaker would wrap up, we would say to ourselves, "that was really good stuff" right before our leader would chime in with the same line. It kept us entertained on the call, but added nothing to the conversation.   What cliches are you using? There are so many. Many times you don't realize it is a cliché until you start listening to your own show, or a coach points it out.   The one that sounds most out of place to me on a podcast is, "To be honest with you". When somebody says "to be honest with you", I immediately think, "were you lying to me before?"   What message are you trying to convey when you say, "to be honest with you"? I assume you are simply trying to add emphasis to what you are saying. In reality, the cliché has lost its power. It means nothing. Cliche.   There are many others. We are thinking out of the box. We are pushing the envelope. We are taking it to the next level. It's Erik here to remind you something or another. You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying.   Take an older episode or two of your show and really listen to them. Find the cliches and eliminate them. Be original.   3. AVOID ROUGH TRANSITIONS   And now it's time for …   This phrase seems harmless. It looks like a logical transition from one segment to another during your podcast.

They have moved on right along with you.   As you wrap up one segment, move right to the next. You might end the first segment with, "If you take those steps, things should be back to normal." Roll into the next with, "Jackie has a question about teamwork," and play the call. The next segment just starts. You've hooked them on the next segment without opening the door to leave.   Don't flash the exit sign. Eliminate "and now it's time for" to hold your listener for the entire podcast.   4. BE ORIGINAL   Hello Everybody in Radioland!   To be engaging, you need to be human. You need to be yourself.   As you record your podcast, use your natural voice and your own words. Individuals who are new to broadcasting tend to want to sound like their broadcasting idols. They try to imitate those they have heard on the radio with their voice and clichés.

Folge 103 (09.04.2015): In dieser Sonderfolge: Brasilien ist ein Radioland. In Brasilien gibt es unheimlich viele Radiosender. Die großen Medienanstalten berichten allerdings eher von oben herab, als dass sie die Stimme der Bevölkerung, vor allem der armen, widergeben. Das begünstigt die Bildung von Bürgerradios. Das Radio Novos Rumos ist solch ein Bürgerradio. Wie wichtig es für seine Region ist und was die Schwierigkeiten für die Mitarbeiter sind, hören Sie in dieser Folge.

I was having a tough time coming up with an idea for a new mix. The shortwave mix, a drift on the signal, is one of my favorite mixes so I decided to do a sequel. And thus, through ionospheric transit, comes...a ghost in the phase. The formula is pretty much the same as before, a nice mixture of real shortwave radio recordings & ambient music with shortwave elements. Most of the shortwave stuff comes from the Shortwavemusic blog. That's the same source I used for the last shortwave mix. It's run by Myke Weiskopf. Here are a couple of his other sites... Myke Weiskopf & Myke's Live Journal Lots of cool sounds at all three sites. After the last shortwave mix a listener said it reminded him of Tetsu Inoue's World Receiver. How could I have forgotten that disc?! This time I made sure to include it. It's such a fantastic recording. You can buy it from Infraction records . Another excellent release that made it into the mix is the new one from Steven Mathieu called Radioland. Check it out. The Entia Non & krill.minima & Unproduct cuts are all available for free download. The times in this tracklist are just approximations. Sometimes there are several cuts playing at once, things fading in & out, etc. T R A C K L I S T : 00:00 - Pulse Wave FX & JBO Tokyo Radio 00:16 - Entia Non - Cultural Plagiarism 01:28 - Fennesz - A Year in a Minute 04:33 - Myke Weiskopf - Shortwave Condensation 05:55 - Djivan - dle yaman 06:56 - Cairo Radio 07:45 - Punkt - Speechless 08:24 - Cairo Radio 09:13 - Rod Modell - Aloeswood 12:38 - Tetsu Inoue - Elevator Drops 19:05 - Steven Mathieu - Aufder Gasse 22:45 - Fennesz & Sakamoto - Aware 26:37 - Radio RASD 26:54 - My Fun - Signal Drift 29:06 - Felicia Atkinson with Sylvain Chauveau - Aberdeen 34:11 - Chris Bissonnette - Traveling Light 40:00 - WEWN 40:46 - Post-Soviet Melancholia Pt.
