Throwback Thursday to Episode 32 — one of the early, defining moments of the channel.This was the first time Radio Free Mormon joined the podcast, back when the show was still audio-only and just starting to find its voice.

It's PID Radio's Throwback Thursday. This week, we present a 2007 interview with researcher and author Kate Iola about America's vulnerability to disruption of our food supply through agricultural terror. Originally released June 3, 2007 OUR SUMMER “archive series” continues with an interview culled from Derek's radio program on The Eagle 93.9 (KSSZ-FM) in Columbia, Missouri. His guest on Friday, May 25, 2007 was agroterror expert Kate Iola. Kate has a master's degree in Molecular Pathology from the University of California-San Diego, and three issued patents. She started reporting on FMD (foot-and-mouth disease) in 1999. In 2000, she decided someone needed to tell the bizarre — and, unfortunately, true — story of the threat of FMD. Just as Sharon did with avian flu in The Armageddon Strain, Kate chose to spread the word about FMD with fiction. Her novel Deadstock is a chilling look at the ease with which America's agriculture industry could be brought to its knees. Derek and Kate also talked about the Department of Homeland Security's proposed new bioweapons lab, the National Bio and Agro Defense Facility (NBAF). Columbia is one of 17 contenders to host this BSL-4 laboratory, and Kate is raising a red flag. Placing a lab that studies FMD in the middle of America's beef and pork producing territory raises some serious security issues. Sharon's niece, Sarah Sachleben, is fighting stage 4 bowel cancer, and the medical bills are piling up. If you are led to help, please go to GilbertHouse.org/hopeforsarah. Follow us!

THROWWBACKKK!!"Hey hey! This is a breaking news episode! My cousin Bryan from the Cleveland Schwill podcast joins me tonight to cover the new discoveries found in the infamous unsolved murder case of "The Boy In The Box". While we now know the identity of the boy, and the identity of the boy's parents, what conspiracy might we reveal in what really lead to the death of this unnamed boy?

Why isn't your retreat filling? It's one of the questions I get asked more than any other. And while marketing has changed dramatically since this episode first aired-with AI, SEO, and new ways people discover retreats-the core reasons retreats don't fill are surprisingly the same. That's why I'm bringing back this Throwback Thursday episode. In this conversation, I break down the most common reasons retreat leaders struggle to enroll guests and, more importantly, what you can do about it. We cover everything from mindset and messaging to marketing, pricing, and positioning because filling a retreat is never just about posting more on social media. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your belief in your retreat matters more than you think How niching down helps you attract the right guests The importance of writing copy that speaks directly to your ideal attendee Common marketing mistakes that prevent retreats from filling Why lead time matters How pricing, timing, and perceived value all work together If you've ever launched a retreat and heard nothing but crickets, this episode will help you identify where things may be breaking down. The strategies may be timeless- but they still work. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why retreat marketing starts with mindset How to identify and attract your ideal retreat guest Common retreat marketing mistakes Why your messaging may not be connecting The importance of retreat pricing and positioning How to create a stronger retreat value proposition Why visibility takes time Key Takeaways Belief Comes Before Bookings If you don't believe your retreat is worth attending, your audience will feel that. Stop Marketing to Everyone The more specific your audience, the stronger your marketing becomes. Your Copy Matters People don't buy itineraries. They buy outcomes and transformation. Marketing Takes Time One of the biggest mistakes retreat leaders make is starting their marketing too late. Visibility compounds over time. There Is Never Just One Reason Pricing, messaging, timing, audience, marketing, and mindset all work together. Improving just one area may not be enough.

The Retreat Leader's Playbook (00:04:34) An advertisement for a guide designed to help retreat leaders create, market, and sell out their transformational retreat experiences. Niching Down Your Audience (00:05:43) Trying to appeal to everyone is a mistake; focusing on a specific niche makes your retreat more relevant and appealing. Crafting Compelling Copy (00:06:49) Your marketing message must resonate with your niche's specific pain points and aspirations to convert interest into actual bookings. Common Marketing Failures (00:07:59) This section covers marketing mistakes like insufficient lead time, lack of audience research, and underutilizing multiple marketing channels. Pricing, Timing, and Value Proposition (00:11:03) Discusses how incorrect pricing (too high or low), poor timing, and a weak value proposition can deter potential attendees. Logistical Challenges (00:13:10) How logistical issues, like a difficult location or mismatched accommodation styles, can negatively impact retreat signups if they don't fit the audience. Conclusion and Final Advice (00:14:12) A summary of the key areas to address—mindset, niche, marketing, and logistics—to increase the chances of selling out retreats.

Before Recovery Rocks, Anna's Recover Girl podcast featured conversations about addiction and recovery that were messy, funny and deeply honest. In this Thursday Throwback, Girls star Jemima Kirke talks openly about getting sober young, bouncing between rehabs and feeling constantly pushed into the role of “the problem.”She shares what it was like navigating treatment centers that often felt more shaming than healing, why she resisted being treated like a patient instead of a person and how she ended up trauma-bonding with the man who became her husband.This conversation gets into the weirdness of getting sober young while still being messy, defensive, confused and very much not “fixed.”

It's PID Radio's Throwback Thursday. This week, we present a 2007 interview with prophecy expert and author Terry James about a plot to corrupt the human genome just as the sons of God did long before the flood. Of course, this scenario is just fiction—or is it? Originally released November 25, 2007 WHILE WE complete the first stage of our move from Missouri to Indiana, we present a guest we think you'll find fascinating. Terry James has been writing about prophecy for years, but what led him to study and write about the coming end of the age is perhaps even more interesting than his work. Settle in for an hour of discussion about fallen angels, UFOs, nephilim, and the end of the world as we know it.

THROWWWBACKKK!!"Hello and welcome back to the show! Today we are revisiting one of the most listened to episodes, the case of JonBenèt Ramsey! Join me as we heat up this cold case once more! "
Some retreat lessons never go out of style. In this Throwback Thursday episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon Jamail revisits one of her favorite conversations with Chelle Swierz, founder of Topia Boutique Retreat Center in Baja California Sur, Mexico. While marketing trends, AI, and visibility strategies continue to evolve, the core principles of creating exceptional retreat experiences remain the same. In this conversation, Chelle shares the common mistakes she sees retreat leaders make—and many of them are still happening today. From poor guest preparation and choosing the wrong retreat dates to relying too heavily on social media instead of building genuine relationships, this episode is packed with timeless wisdom for retreat leaders. Shannon and Chelle also discuss: The importance of over-communicating with retreat guests Why trust is built long before a retreat begins How venue partnerships can elevate the guest experience Common planning mistakes that impact retreat success The power of personal connection over social media marketing Creating memorable and transformational retreat experiences If you're planning a retreat, struggling to fill one, or simply want to improve the experience you create for your guests, this episode is as relevant today as it was when it first aired. What You'll Learn in This Episode Common retreat hosting mistakes Why guest preparation matters How to choose better retreat dates The importance of clear communication Why relationships still outperform algorithms How retreat venues can support retreat leaders Creating an exceptional retreat guest experience Key Takeaways Retreat Success Starts Before Guests Arrive The guest experience begins long before check-in. Communication, preparation, and expectation-setting matter. Social Media Isn't Enough People may discover you online. But trust is built through relationships and conversations. Over-Communication Is a Good Thing Guests appreciate clarity. The more prepared they feel, the better their experience. Venue Partnerships Matter The right venue partner can dramatically improve the retreat experience for both leaders and guests. Authenticity Always Wins Clear, honest communication about what guests can expect leads to better experiences and stronger reviews. About Chelle Swierz Chelle Swierz is a longtime yoga instructor and founder of Topia Boutique Retreat Center in Baja California Sur, Mexico.

Subscribe: Apple Podcast | Google Podcast | Spotify -------- TIMESTAMPS Welcome to the Retreat Leaders Podcast (00:01:25) The host, Shannon, welcomes listeners and introduces the guest, Shelly, a fellow retreat venue owner from Baja, Mexico. About Topia Boutique Retreat Center (00:02:22) Shelly describes her full-service retreat center, Topia, which she co-owns with her husband, and its mission to support leaders. Different Levels of Venue Service (00:03:19) Shannon and Shelly discuss the spectrum of venue services, from 100% self-service to fully supported, all-inclusive models like Topia. Biggest Mistake: Not Knowing Your Community (00:05:20) Shelly explains the most common mistake is not knowing if you have a community that is willing and able to travel. Social Media Following vs. Real Community (00:08:16) A large social media following doesn't guarantee retreat sign-ups; genuine, personal relationships and trust are what fill retreats. The Importance of Strategic Planning (00:12:23) Discussion on giving yourself enough time to market, building community, and the benefits of partnering with another leader. Mistake #2: Choosing Dates Unwisely (00:14:35) Shelly warns against scheduling local retreats before international ones, as it can cannibalize sign-ups for the bigger trip. Considering Demographics, Weather, and Holidays (00:17:54) The importance of considering your audience's schedule, holidays, and the location's weather when selecting retreat dates is discussed. Best Practice: Over-Communicate with Guests (00:20:50) Shelly highlights the importance of preparing guests thoroughly through emails, Zoom calls, and clear itineraries to ensure a smooth experience. The Power of One-on-One Calls (00:23:40) Shannon emphasizes having quick one-on-one calls with each guest to review details and answer personal questions before the retreat. More About Topia Retreat Center (00:26:30) Shelly describes Topia's beautiful location in Baja California Sur and its focus on caring for and supporting retreat leaders.
