Podcasters – Don’t Fear The Competition

September 4, 2016July 5, 2016 by @radio_skills

Podcasters – Don’t fear the competition understand them. I used to find it interesting when a programme controller would frown upon me mentioning the competition. “Don’t mention the competitors ever Kevin”. “Oh, Ok boss…” Why, I thought – what are you afraid of? Are you scared that they might switch over? I felt as if … Read more

Quality
July 17, 2016 by Debateable from United Kingdom
There are so many podcasts out there that frankly some sound like they have been made in a corregated hut with a steel band outside that it's so refreshing to find one where the producer (Kevin) knows about crystal clear sound ! The content is spot on, well thought out and engaging and I never get bored. Lets put it like this, I have listened to about 5 so far and I haven't turned one off and for someone with the attention of a fruit fly that is pretty good going! Plenty to work with - tips galore. Really adore this podcast -top quality. Looking forward to listening to the rest.

FANTASTIC!!!

A much needed show in podcasting
November 24, 2015 by Audio Drama from United Kingdom
There are many great podcasts about podcasting out there, but Kevin still manages to fill a much needed gap in the market with this show, as the finer points of presentation are often overlooked for things like equipment and content. Of course, all are extremely important, but this show really will get you thinking about the way you present and as you begin to follow Mr Field’s advice you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how much better you’ll sound for it. Keep up the great work.
What can you borrow from radio?

In the new media era it makes a lot of sense to raise your game at every opportunity. This podcast presents what goes on in radio, in such a way that you can adopt what you like and leave the rest. Kevin shares his extensive industry experience in short, information-packed podcasts which focus on a specific theme each episode. Well done, Kevin. Keep up the good work! And can we have more industry stories along the way, please. Love it.
This podcast is so seriously helpful.

Bite Sized Morsels of Meaty Content!
November 3, 2015 by @petebillingham from United Kingdom
Among many podcasts about podcasting, I found so many “a ha” moments when listening to Kevin Field on the Radio Skills for Podcasters Podcast. Like the short punchy format. Each episode had many things which made want to stop, make notes or replay. It is obvious that Kevin’s experience in the radio industry shines through with his advice and recommendations. In getting ready to launch a podcast, this podcast already has been invaluable. Thanks Kevin.
Golden knowledge from a Golden Podcast
November 2, 2015 by Kenabbottuk from United Kingdom
I’m 5 episodes in to Radio Skills for Podcasters and loving every minute. Each Podcast episode is just 10 to 12 minutes long but is jam packed with tips, tricks and advice from someone whose radio industry knowledge, experience and wisdom shines through brightly. There are many “take aways” that I have gained from this Podcast and many others that have confirmed that I’m already on the right track. I’m currently working on episode 26 of my own podcast and will be implementing what I’ve learned right away. I totally agree with other reviewers here, if you’re a podcaster or are thinking of becoming one then Radio Skills for Podcasters is definitely a must listen.
Really helpful tips

If you’re a podcaster and want to be a better podcaster this is the show you want to listen to. if you’re not a podcaster and want to become one then this is still the show you want to listen to. Great actionable information and advice that I am very pleased to know about for my own podcasts.
A must listen for podcasters
October 19, 2015 by Bazybel from United Kingdom
This podcast is made by a guy who shares his wisdom to make the world better, without even trying to sell it to you. Any podcasters have no excuse not to listen to him. One episode is enough for me to take easy actionable tips and apply to my podcast in order to improve my listeners experience. Thank you for sharing all of this, thank you so much.
Thank God I found this!
October 18, 2015 by Janet Murray from United Kingdom
Just about to launch my own podcast and like the reviewer below, had so many ‘why didn’t I think of that?’ moments. Loved the episode on the words you should and shouldn’t use in podcasts. Great stuff - looking forward to more!
So many "man I didn't even think of that" moments
October 16, 2015 by This is Rammy from United Kingdom
I've not long launched my podcast, it launced in March of 2015, so far I've produced 34 episodes. I've moved from telephone interviews to face to face interviews and in doing so, I was put completely out of my comfort zone, mainly because I'm no interviewee, but I dug my heels in and got on with it. It's only since subscribing to Radio skills for podcasters that I realised with a few tweaks here and there, I can get a much better interview, with very little extra effort, in fact, one of the tips should be less effort then currently (remembering to shut up and not say yeah, umm and ahh during interviews). Radio Skills for Podcasters is invaluable, it gets to the point quickly and makes me wish I had a notepad everytime I listen. Luckily, with the episodes only being around 10 minutes, this means it's just as easy to simply listen again when I'm able to take notes (I usually listen to podcasts in the car). Anyway, if you're a podcaster, you need to listen to this podcast, it's less about the technology and "kit" that most other podcasts are, and more about the human side of things. Brilliant, brilliant brilliant.
