The painful truth is that sometimes, your hosting skills—or lack thereof—are the very thing holding back your podcast growth. You might be doing all the right things with podcast production, but if your delivery isn't connecting, your audience engagement suffers, and your potential for podcast monetization remains low. In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, we speak with Vince Quinn about what it truly means to be a strategic, engaging host. Taking cues from the world of radio, Vince shares actionable tips on how to improve your on-air presence, manage your technical setup, and leverage your voice for greater business alignment and strategic growth—especially if you're thinking about adding live shows to your format. This week, episode 244 of Podcasting Unlocked is about strategic podcast growth with live shows!
Vince Quinn is the Co-Founder and Creative Director of SBX Productions, where he helps businesses start podcasts and use them to power their marketing. He's also helps podcasters unlock their hosting potential.
In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, Vince Quinn is sharing the importance of carrying yourself with confidence when recording and actionable steps you can take right now to incorporate live streams into your podcast rotation.
Vince and I also chat about the following:
- Overcome Overpreparation: Stop relying on a rigid script! Excessive overpreparation can stifle genuine conversation. Focus instead on high-level strategy to allow for better audience interaction and flow.
- The Power of Live Shows: Incorporate live streaming into your show. Live shows create immediate, high-value audience engagement and can be easily content repurposed into multiple assets.
- Master Your Technical Setup: For any live shows, ensure your technical setup is flawless. Check your microphone and connection before you go live to maintain a professional standard.
- Host Like a Strategist: View your hosting skills as a direct tool for business alignment. Every segment, interview, and solo should lead back to your core offer and podcast monetization goals.
Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on turning your podcast listeners into leads and to hear even more about the points outlined above.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
