Pod Crashing One On One Episode 399 Mental And Physical Support For Podcasters

Pod Crashing One On One... This weeks focus is put on support. Not every podcaster was born to have a team of people surrounding them. You still have to write it, produce it, promote and building up a guest list blessed with projections. It's more than a hobby. It's connection. But what happens when you begin a path of losing hope?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, if this is the first time that you've joined
me on this experience and this adventure, please visit Arrow
dot net A r r oe dot net. There's so
much more than just the conversations, the interviews, the movies,
the rockstars. Aro dot net A r r oe there's
a podcast for everyone. Heyzero, host of the weekly podcast

(00:20):
pod Crashing, three hundred and ninety nine episodes that connect
listeners to podcast specialists wrapped around the world. My goal
has always been to inform our community with subjects that
deal with everything and beyond. Podcast hosts are very open
and always filled with a spirit that spreads their skills
as journalists, medical specialists, true crime soldiers, gamblers, motivators, spiritualists, actors,

(00:43):
and famous people's kids. I mean, there really is a
podcast for every subject. Pod Crashing one oh one has
been around since March of twoenty nineteen. The original thing
that I wanted to do was to be a podcast critic,
you know, like a movie critic. I couldn't do it
as a broad cast instructor. I felt my goal should
change into helping up and coming podcasters have the right

(01:06):
information about hosting as well as surviving well. That idea
when fifty four episodes. Before adopting a new idea, talk
directly to the podcasters themselves. The purpose of podcrashing one
on one is to help you build your own platform,
to promote it, and to earn money. This is Podcrashing
one on one episode number three ninety nine. Let's start

(01:30):
it off by being honest. Podcasting, far more than many,
can be a tedious project that puts the talent in
the center of a huge team of one. Not everyone
is blessed to have a team surrounding them. Sometimes it's required,
while other creative moments don't really need the clutter of
other human beings in the vision of reaching people locally

(01:51):
as well as worldwide. Now, why do I bring this up?
Who are you gonna call ghostbusters? They aren't part of
the phono friend network. Sitting in a podcast studio puts
a lot of pressure on your social skills. It is
way too easy to get locked up and lost in writing, prepping, voicing, editing,
and even promoting your performance. By the time you finally

(02:12):
free yourself from the podcast studio, you're already in touch
with doubt, a fear of not being heard, and a
deeply challenged drive to physically grow, So do you choose
to keep on podcasting or get back to it as
a hobby more than the business that podcasting really is.
Podcasting can be a very lonely place and it's not

(02:33):
really talked about inside the community. Hey, coming up next?
Where can podcasters go to get emotional support? Hey? Thanks
for coming back to podcrashing one on one? Where can
podcasters go to get emotional support? In the way of
socializing their podcast experiences with others who may be doing

(02:56):
it and who may be thinking about doing it right away?
Your pointing toward online communities, attending conferences and local meetups.
These gatherings allow hosts to share tips, celebrate success, and
vint about the challenges of production, as well as how
it's going to grow. On Facebook and other multiple platforms,

(03:16):
people or podcasting can easily become part of the good news.
They're monitored to ensure positive support. I see podcasting as
a personal experience and an art field expression. Outside judgment
can instantly silence a podcaster. Places you can gather also
include buzz, Sprout, Reddit, discord, and there are also specialized communities,

(03:39):
but being part of that circle could cost you money
for their advice I get it, though, paid mastermind groups
are always structured to make sure that they can help
you get through your storms. Look into a new movement
called the podcast brunch Club, and LinkedIn is always willing
to lend in a helping hand and compassionate ear if

(04:01):
you need support, don't quit. It's your choice to use
it and to grow it. I'm Marril and that's pod
