Using podcasts as an advertising medium is ideal for businesses - the hard work of finding your ideal customers has already been done. Podcast interviews and sponsorships are five times more effective than web ads like Meta/Facebook or Google ads, according to Advertisecast.

A study by Westwood One found that podcast advertising has a higher recall rate than traditional radio advertising, and that podcast ads are considered more trustworthy and less intrusive than other forms of advertising.

Podcasts offer a highly engaged audience. A study by Nielsen found that podcast listeners tend to be more engaged with the content they listen to, as compared to other forms of media.

Podcasts are a convenient form of entertainment and information, as they can be listened to anytime, anywhere. According to a survey by Edison Research, 66% of podcast listeners listen to podcasts while doing other things, such as driving, working, or exercising.

Generally, 25-30 minutes is good but if a conversation needs to go longer, that’s fine with me! I think some of the best conversations need some time to get into it. Fill out the podcast guest application form to apply today.

Nope, it won’t be recorded live. Unless we’re doing a special live episode or webinar. This means we can cut out or edit anything you’d like. I like to have real, transparent conversations but if you say something that should be edited or drop a name that you’d like to take out, just me know during or after we record!

We won’t be recording right when the call starts. We’ll have a quick catch up conversation and run through some of the questions and then get started with the recording.

No, we will follow a conversational format. I don't prepare questions in advance and therefore do not provide them.

Typically, I record several weeks ahead, so your episode may not be released for several weeks. Most go live within 45 days after we record. I’ll let you know as soon as it’s live so you can share on your social media channel, email list & website. If you need your podcast episode to go live faster, ask for the Front-of-the-Line option, where your episode will be recorded and released within seven (7) days.
